I'm posting this comment to help anyone who will encounter the same issue. I've an installation which work perfectly now for near ten years ! with an old domoticz version I'm no more updating for a long time (everything is froozen, including the sdcard in ro only mode) as this handle some heaters at ...

Fantastic ! If it's python code anyway, could it be deployed as a plugin for Domoticz so it doesn't have to run in the shell? I don't know how python plugins work ... for now it's to be used as a script triggered on "Action On/Off" as you can call any other script and to be add manually for each ...

Yes, I have been reading all this stuff already and am thinking hard how it might be implementable... I've work on this this week end, I've not yet commit anything. Finally, the simple way I've find was to reuse the python code to be able to write a python shell script which will make the change ...

... Alexicz is 'cheating' by claiming to proactively report even though it doesn't :o You're perfectly right :D this is a "work in progress" (but no much time to full implement this), the reason why Damsee explain this is not working. This is a new Alexa feature, a few weeks ago, the french version ...

Fine.

I've also accept a pull request on github which keep the brigthness of a light and convert Kelvin to RGB to control a light. I'm not controlling lights with domoticz at home, I'm unable to make some tests. If this break something, please give me your feedback here.

Viewed your messages this morning and had a quick test => same result "doesn't support that..." ... Good news, it seems you were right Damsee, I've add timeOfSample and uncertaintyInMilliseconds and it works! This is updated on github, please update and give your feedback if this is ok for you (for ...

Viewed your messages this morning and had a quick test => same result "doesn't support that..." @Rimrim : i checked the code from AWS... Thanks for the analysis, but I'm afraid that a "doesn't support that..." is a discovery issue/missing rather than a state report one. I've already encounter such ...

Bad news, I'm not at home but I will check this week-end.

Another corner case. You can start a switch name with a '$' to have it 'invisible' on the Domoticz dashboard but still active... Why not, this can be easily integrated. But you may note that you can change the name exported to Alexa defining Alexa_Name in the description field of the device ...

I seems Logitech enable to reopen xmpp api https://community.logitech.com/s/questi ... rabilities

Bad news from Logitech. I'm following this closely last hours as I'm using this API (with ha bridge not dz) and it seems home assistant publish today a websocket implementation, python based, which make home assistant harmony work again with last firmware https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2018/12 ...

... If I may make one more observation? Thermostats in the Alexa system seem to have a setpoint and an actual temperature... You're comment remember me that initially I've also wrote this script to be able to control thermostat temperature in my home . I've several "virtual" thermostat, "day rooms ...

... By the way, when I view the state of a door contact in the Alexa app, it immediately changes as soon as I open the door. Is this because Alexa is continuously polling as long as this app page is visible? Good question, but I've no answer. I've notice some Alexa cloud trafic when using an Alexa ...

Ok, thanks! Another question: if I send you the Domoticz JSON output of a motion sensor, can you then also implement that in the code? Wouldn't it be nice if Alexa could alert me to movement in and/or around the house at night? (Although the WAF will largely depend on the reliability of the sensor ...

Alexicz (Alexa) sees my door/window contacts as contact sensors now, great! However, I still can't ask "What the status of my front door?" (answer: "Front door doesn't support that"), or "Is my front door open?" (answer: "Hmmm... something is wrong with the front door, and I'm not sure if it's open ...

... I would like to know if this skill man handle the broadlink remote ? It will allow to change channel ... You're asking for some "multimedia" interface, Smart Home Alexa skills handle such device, called Entertainment Devices https://developer.amazon.com/fr/docs/smarthome/build-smart-home-skills ...

Thanks first to Damsee to relay this here (he his the documentation author of the skill too ...) I've first wrote this skill in order to learn how Alexa skills work and trying to "make something working" (for me!). I've find an efficient path understanding madgeni code and being inspired by Home ...

the -j4 option is only for people with the RPi2, which has quad cores... I'm talking about a PI2 building domoticz on raspbian Jessie. Perhaps Jessie matter as I've been able to compile with -j4 option adding swap but I think the option is useless. At least for my last installations on Jessie, -j4 ...

Hi,

To share with you. Rebuilding domoticz from source on a pi 2 platform with a fresh install (raspbian jessie) is very very slow and it may occur memory issues. The problem come from the -j 4 option of the wiki ... Or don't use this -j option or add swap to be able to compile easily.

Hi,

I've tried to use a python (smart) script with no success. Looking at the source code, this python support need to be enabled. Would be easy to set ENABLE_PYTHON directly in the code but what is the proper way to set it using make ?
