Re: Presence Detection dzVents script

I made the Presence detection more robust by using NMAP instead of ARP -- Presence Detection Script for Domoticz local DETECT_FILE = '/home/pi/csvData/presence_detection_detect.csv' local IGNORE_FILE = '/home/pi/csvData/presence_detection_ignore.csv' local UNKNOWN_FILE = '/home/pi/csvData/presence ...

Re: Option to disable hourly backups

2.2 seconds is a long time when it's on the hour with all the other hourly triggers scripts etc. My system used to be unusable every hour for a lot longer than that when I had hourly backups. My experience is the same and after a remark from Gizmocuz I stored the basis and now the system works ...

This will let your database grow rapidly!! check the Light/Switches log settings to minimize this (default 30 days)
Thanks Walter.
Tbh I didn't realize that.
Set it to 10 days.
Tomorrow I'll see the size difference of my domoticz.db

Re: Using AI tools with Domoticz, anyone given it a go?

I'm using AI for all my dzVents solutions nowadays. Even more, nowadays when I find an API I ask AI if it can write a script to display the data. Lately I display data in text sensors. Here is an example for data from meteoserver.nl which is queried every 2 hours (free) Screenshot_20250616_235534 ...

Re: Long live Domoticz !!!

I tried Home Assistant on a new Raspberry Pi 5 — didn’t click. Too much time spent resolving version-dependent inconsistencies, even for basic integrations. Probably great for newcomers, but not for porting a mature setup. Not RPI5 but RPI4. However for achieving tasks I cannot get Homeassistant to ...

Re: SolarEdge production throttling from Domoticz

Very, very interesting @jvdz I don't have SolarEdge so I thought this is not for me. I have asked AI if there's something for my 2013 SMA 5000TL-21 and guess what? The SMA Power Control Module is an interesting option if you want to regulate the energy fed back into the grid. This module allows the ...

Re: Meteoserver sun radiation

The thing i don't like from the 'mainstream' weather-models is the fact that the nearest weather-station is 28 kilometer away from my home resulting in incorrect values and predictions.. In my case it's 15 kilometers. I adapted the script to catch the real values in the log. if debugMode then local ...

Meteoserver sun radiation

It is a challenge to optimize the percentage direct use from the PV panels. One way is to know when the sun shines and how much the global radiation intensity is in Watt per m2 At Meteoserver the data can be obtained like https://data.meteoserver.nl/api/solar.php?locatie=Utrecht&key=abcd1234 using ...
