Both the IP address and the imageURL were wrong/had to be changed.

Thanks for the help, @waltervl. It works!
Actually there was another issue, in that the IP address was missing a .1. between the 168 and 191.

Hello, I am struggling to get the live stream of an ESP32-cam into domoticz. I've installed the application ESP32-CAM_MJPEG2SD into the board, and according with the documentation the url ESP32-camIPADDRESS:80//sustain?video=1 returns a live stream, which I have confirmed to work in my web browser ...

Why do you want it to be so specific that it needs a more precise timer? Is for example every approx 30 seconds not good enough? What goes wrong if it is sometimes 29 or 31 seconds? The reason is that I'm using a smart EV charger (dombusevse) along with the inverter, and for it to adjust the ...

Thanks for your reply. The main objective is to read values from an inverter at specific intervals, and I'm using this plugin to do so https://github.com/saidlm/Domoticz-Solax-plugin/blob/321f8e7da24d53affa79a7ab04ae30e89032d337/plugin.py#L248C8-L251C1 As you can see, the author has used heartbeat ...

Hello, I am wondering if when using the `heartbeat` function in the domoticz module (see https://wiki.domoticz.com/Developing_a_Python_plugin#C++_Callable_API ) inside of a loop, takes into account the execution time of the code between consecutive iterations? In essence, I am wondering if heartbeat ...

Similar issue today morning. There's a discrepancy of extra £0.63. Meanwhile yesterday gap narrowed down from £0.8 in the morning to -£0.02 at the end of day. It seems too large to be considered rounding errors.

Ok, I'll keep monitoring what happens in the following days, and see if the situation improves. Regarding dynamic pricing, indeed I could use it to obtain costing for T1 and T2, but I think that I should keep using my dzvents script to separate the energy in 1 vs 2 anyway so that: R1 and R2 are also ...

If you check the report page of this device the issue should be more clear as it shows T1/T2 usage and costs per day. Ahh, I was not aware that a daily display could be also reported: thanks! It's strange...by looking at the table below the costs for Monday should be 0.05+0.42-0.01=0.46, but the ...

I have a dummy P1 smart mater device to monitor the energy that comes from/to the grid, which is updated using data from my solax inverter via a plugin. Since I am using a high/low tariff, and the plugin was incorrectly sending all of the data to T1/R1 I have created a dzvents script to update the ...

If the Solar device is also monitoring your grid connection it should be the plugin that should have configuration attributes for changing T1/T2 times. So dont blaim core Domoticz for that... :-) Also normal counters are not able to differentiate in T1/T2 tariffs. T1/T2 tariffs are probably going ...

For a P1 meter the time for tarif change is defined by the energy supplier. So you do not have to do anything in Domoticz. When T1/T2 change is there T2 data is sent by the smart meter. instead of T1 data. You see, that's again a difference between how you and I are interpreting a P1 smart meter ...

@waltervl Have seen it and sorry to say this but I still think that for the noninitiated it is extremely unclear. There's not even a web link to the P1 smart meter device so that one can become familiar with its internal structure that separates tariff1 vs 2. It might be helpful to explain what was ...

The most ridiculous thing is that none of this is documented in domoticz wiki!

This is useful but does not solve the hassle of having to add the devices one by one. +1 on this request. Thanks.

I agree. +1 on this

Thanks for the suggestion and all your help. I've tested it just now, and unfortunately it doesn't work.

Guess it has to be done with lua, which is a bit disappointing, but oh well.

That could well be. But if the description does not change, what is the problem? Note that I'm not overly familiar with the inner functioning of the plugin but, I know that some of its parameters need to be configured by editing the description of the devices and then saving them (example in figure ...

So what is the description of you update the power values with dzvents? Everything indicates that updateEnergy is updating the description of the device although it does not actually changes its contents: the creator of the plugin confirms that 1) this is what is happening based on the log that is ...

waltervl wrote: ↑Monday 29 July 2024 15:38 Yes indeed, updateElectricity(power, energy) should work and not change the description.
What is the description being modified in? Is it being emptied or changed into something else?

According to the above log and what I see in the actual device is "ID=1.c,CUSTOM,TypeName=kWh"
