Re: Disappearance of Open Z-Wave USB in version 2025.2

If you want to stick with OZW for now, maybe try to work with persistant USB devices (it is described in the Wiki).

Re: Disappearance of Open Z-Wave USB in version 2025.2

Sorry, my first reply was wrong. This is correct now:
I remember that I had an issue with my old z-Wave USB device when migrating from PI3B to PI4. I was using an AEON Labs ZW090 Z‐Stick Gen5 USB Controller. The ZW090 did only sometimes show up in the operating system and was not useable.
This PI4 ...

migrating zigbee2mqtt from version 1.3 to 2.1

Hi,
I was finally able to migrate zigbee2mqtt to the current version 2.1.3
It now runs without any problem in my small Domoticz environment. :)

Changes needed were:
1)
Change the Auto Discovery Prefix to a different value as the prefix topic in the MQTT Client Gateway with LAN interface.
This was ...

Re: Cannot get zigbee running

Hi,
defining a "MQTT Client Gateway with LAN interface" is not enough, you also need a "MQTT Auto Discover Client Gateway with LAN interface"
Make sure to create in Domoticz hardware a "MQTT Auto Discover Client Gateway with LAN interface" wich has a discovery topic that ist different from your ...

Re: MQTT AD - Zigbee2MQTT

Some time ago I tried to go from Zigbee2MQTT version 1.30.2 to version 1.41.0 without changing the working setup.

Docker container then keeps restarting with version 1.41.0 and also older versions (e.g. 1.36). No output in log.

Starting it with docker run ... shows following output:

new devices discovered after upgrading to new zwave-js-ui and 2024.4

Hello,

I just upgraded my installation to the Domoticz 2024.4 (coming from 2023.2) and also the newest images of zwave-js-ui and koenkk/zigbee2mqtt

Now I see that additional devices appear that e.g. get a name like "nodeID_8 (nodeID_8_config_switch_4)..." or "nodeID_5 (nodeID_5_config_switch_102 ...

It also should work with other mail providers. Did you play with the email setting "Send Camera Snapshots as attachment (Gmail)"?

Re: Getting error when trying to email snapshot


I see from your signature that you run Domoticz on synology (in Docker?).
So could be an Docker access issue. Or try the snapshot link within the Docker container.

Sorry, my profile was not current. Domoticz is not on Synology any more.

Re: Noob started with MQTT

Difficult to tell the cause.

Here just two hints:
First test the connection between MQTT and Domoticz e.g. by creatung an Dummy Temperature sensor, note the IDX it got (e.g. 112) and enter
mosquitto_pub -h localhost -m '{ "idx" : 112, "nvalue" : 0, "svalue" : "25.0" }' -t ' domoticz/in '

Re: domoticz in synology as package! Available now.

Hi,
upgraded from 2020.1 to 2020.2 beta on DS414j (comcerto).
Upgrade was no problem.
Domoticz works like before (minor problems with a Devolo device).
Thanks for providing the update!
