Re: Ad nauseam: script works in terminal but not Domoticz

I save each script as a version in order to allow tracing back to see if any specific changes worked or failed and I found where I made my mistake. When calling the mp3 directly using os.execute along with runuser I entered the file name as cabinchime.mp3 rather than the correct form of cabin_chime ...

Re: Ad nauseam: script works in terminal but not Domoticz

Well does it work now through dzVents or through the action scripts? And when testing did you see the bash scripts getting started in the Domoticz logging? If you did sudo /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/doorchime.sh to test the root route, did this work? Oh and I did attempt executing the script using ...

Ad nauseam: script works in terminal but not Domoticz

Hi all ... first, please be gentle - I've been yelled at and put down quite a bit here for not understanding programming so ...
