Re: how to create custom block

Thanks for your reply! Can you elaborate some more on how to do that? I know how to make a Dummy device (Setup, Hardware, Type==dummy device and then click 'Create Virtual Sensor'. I made a Virtual Sensor 'Outdoortemp' and 'Indoortemp'. But then what? How do I populate them with data, and how do I ...

how to create custom block

On my Dashticz-dashboard I want to create a block that compares the values of two different sensors, and shows a text accordingly. I have an indoor temp sensor 2, and an outdoor sensor 256, and want to compare the two. I'm new to Dashtizc, but I've figured out: how to make a block that show the ...

Re: RFXtrx433XL : invalid data received - version 0

I had the same problem: Domoticz was not saving any changes I made to the RFXCOM-protocols and all were disabled. I removed the RFXCOM and added it with a different USB-port. Now when I click Set Mode I'll see some protocols enabled and I'm able to toggle all. Clicking on the red button Set Mode ...

Re: Lua for 'turn on for x minutes'

Keep in mind that if you submit the "On FOR" command a second time while the light is already on, it will not switch off again. Not sure if this is a bug or a "works as designed"... :-( Thank you so much for this remark! At first I had a hard time getting 'On for' to work, then it suddenly worked ...

Re: Tip: Cheap wireless doorbell from Action

Note that these doorbells are in & out of stock often at Action. So if you don't find them now, try again in a few weeks or try another Action. Utrecht currently doesn't sell them but Amsterdam does.

Did you enable the correct protocol? (the Byron SX protocol on the RFXcomm according to the first post).

Re: Select Plus Doorbell

I bought the SelectPlus doorbell at Action last week. I cannot get Domoticz to learn the bell either. If there is a solution, please let me know (I'll continue to search too and post here if I find anything). I'm on domoticz 3.8153 EDIT: I just found http://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t ...

Re: Switch still gives 30V when switched off

@devros I see this with both the expensive Kaku and the cheap action switches. That's why it confuses me.

Re: Switch still gives 30V when switched off

But it should NOT be the case that there is a Voltage difference when turned off, right? Neither a current (even a small one) when a bulb is attached.
I was in doubt because I saw the same behaviour in both devices.

Re: Switch still gives 30V when switched off

I measured this by directly putting my multimeter into the holes of the socket, without a light. This does not change anything right: there is a voltage difference between the two holes, so as soon as you connect a wire (or a light) between them, there will be a current. Very strange that I have ...

Switch still gives 30V when switched off

When I turn off my switch, it still gives a bit of current. While I expect the voltage to be zero. I noticed this because one of my lights (with candle-style bulbs) was shimmering when it should be off. I set out to investigate, and found that: - if the switch is turned on, it gives 230V (as ...

Re: variable not updated correctly

Ah, thanks for pointing out my integer-mistake, and as mentioned I'm just beginning with programming so things could probably increase too! I was puzzeled by the fact that in some runs of then script the variable is updated, but on others not. Looking at the value at the beginning of the script-run ...

Re: [137] Send code more then once

UPDATE: I used dzVents to write this little script. So everytime an 'On' of 'Off' command is sent to the selected devices it is repeated 5 times, to ensure it reaches the device: local attempts = 5 return { active = true, on = { devices = { 46, 85 } -- add the list of devices you want to boost here ...

Re: variable not updated correctly

Note that the code example says:
'if (domoticz.data.counter = 5) then '
This should be
'if (domoticz.data.counter == 5) then'
right?

Thanks for pointing that out. The documentation is very extensive & I am not an experienced programmer, so I tend to read only the parts I know I need, missing the unknown unknowns... I still don't understand how my variable can be sometimes updated (instead of never or always , but that's probably ...

Re: Tip: Cheap wireless doorbell from Action

Thanks for sharing! This Action doorbell works for me to. I have not looked into un-pairing the doorbell and the chime, would be nice to be able to use the doorbell as a remote-control for other domoticz actions.
