Re: PIR with mesh facility (or wired together)

I've never had much success with wifi repeaters in general, and in the corridor we are really short of space - basically everything needs to be attached to the ceiling! I'll look at z-wave, but that is yet another protocol - I already have BBSB, LightwaveRF and Sonoff - (though I have retired all my ...

PIR with mesh facility (or wired together)

I have a pretty unique problem. I have a corridor with my front door at one end and my back door at the other, and this connects into the rest of the house by a door. The walls are over 600mm thick ironstone and make a very effective faraday cage so the only part of the corridor that can 'see' my ...

Re: Amazon Echo to Domoticz Bridge: switches, sensors & more

I'm a new Domoticz bridge user, and from my Alexa app on my phone I can switch things on and off (and this appears in the log), but when I talk to my Echo Dot nothing happens (and nothing in the logs..) - any idea what may be the problem. May be a co-incidence, but my Lightwave RF Alexa skill has ...

House code for ARC (BBSB) switches

I've got Domoticz on my RPi switching various BBSB switches successfully via the RFXCOM 433, and when I manually create the switch I can enter the code A1 H3 etc etc, but if I go to edit, I can't then change the code. I seem to only be able to delete and start again. Likewise I don't get offered ...

Re: Sending instructions to Domoticz from windows batchfile on remote machine

Many thanks - looks like it is at least possible! Although I do know what JSON is and also PowerShell (though I'm not sure my version on windows has that) - I've no real experience with either, building things from the ground up. I was hoping someone else had been here before and could give me an ...

Sending instructions to Domoticz from windows batchfile on remote machine

Apologies if this is a RTFM, or fAQ I've not yet found, but I'm new to Domoticz! I've bought a RFXCOM 433 and have attached it to a RPi running Domoticz and I can now switch various things on and off via the ARC protocol and my old BBSB switches. It's all working nicely. This is replacing a BBSB ...
