Please help an idiot [Solved]

I have plagiarised some script from here to get my WAN IP address and write it to a dummy text sensor. That part works perfectly of course. What I am trying to do is if that IP address does not match the address that I am expecting then turn on a light as a way of warning me. Code I have messed up ...

Little script help please? [Solved]

Hi all, I am a complete noob to dzVents and am not a coder by any stretch of the imagination. I am looking for a way of scripting the following: Check a dummy device once every minute and if the text does not equal "whatever" then turn off a smart plug. Any help would be very much appreciated ...

Re: 1 Hue light refuses to show in domoticz

Sorry I can't be of much help. Have you tried going to the settings page in Domoticz and hitting "Allow for 5 minutes"?

Re: 1 Hue light refuses to show in domoticz

Not sure if this will help but check the name of the light in Domoticz. Someone I know had a / in the name of one of his devices and it caused all kinds of problems.

Re: Door lock - how do you use them?

You are correct, though I automatically re-lock after one minute. At the same time I turn on green LED strips in the kitchen (where we spend most of our time) to show that the lock is open. I used to use push notifications but I prefer the subtlety of the LEDs. I also have "modes" for the house ...

Re: Door lock - how do you use them?

I use mine with presence detection. So if my wife's or my phone come home the door unlocks for us. The logic is not complicated particularly. There are several methods to determine if the phones are home - I use a script that runs on my router.The only time it is a (minor) issue is when there is an ...

Re: iMessage Notification

I'm sorry to open an old thread but there is not much conversation around iMessage on this forum. i am running Domoticz on OSX. I have created the iMessage.scpt and notify.sh and placed them both in my domoticz/scripts folder. My imessage.scpt is like this: on run argv tell application "Messages" to ...

Re: homebridge-edomoticz Plugin

I had the same problem. Basically homebride doesn't recognised Domoticz Scenes. So obviously the workaround is to create a dummy switch that triggers the scene. So because these are switches, they either stay on or off. Homekit doesn't work with push on switches either. The way to get it to ...

Re: homebridge-edomoticz Plugin

Hi all, I am having trouble with scenes in the Home and Eve apps. If I run a scene for example "Good Night" which in turn throws a switch in Domoticz, that is fine but if I try and run it again it does not respond. The only way to make it respond is to go into the Home app and toggle the scene to ...

Your port to Domoticz looks wrong - should it not be 8080?

Re: Turn screen off on tablet with Domoticz switch.

Glad to be of help.
There may be other ways...perhaps using an ssh call to the tablet but i reckon it would over complicate things.

Re: Turn screen off on tablet with Domoticz switch.

I haven't used Android for years but IIRC it has power profiles.
If so you could set a profile for when on battery = screen off, when on mains power = screen always on.

then just have Domoticz toggle the plug socket that powers it?
