The idx is already visible with a mouseover on the log button of the device

This is SUPER.

Idx number is also visible in the device edit screen (edit button)

That's the problem if I am too long behind the screen I get square eyes and miss some information.


Excuses.

url = "/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=83&nvalue=0&svalue='Voorbeeldtekst\nRegel2\nRegel3'";

Unfortanataly this is not working.

Thanks for the tip.

Try using %0A for newline and %0D for carriage return ...

Is it possible (maybe this is a tip), that the idx of a device is vissible in the tabs other than the Dashboard tap?


That is easy if you are manupilating different devices. Then you don't need to go to the tap > 'Setup' > 'Devices' all the time.

A thousand apologies.
Sorry Sorry Sorry.

I had defined the 'url' as const char* instead of a string.

Now 'url' is a string and it works.


Now placing a new line in the text.

I use "\n".

url = "/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=83&nvalue=0&svalue=Voorbeeldtekst\nRegel2\nRegel3";

This ...

Hello Jieffe,

I do understand this.

But how do I put this const char* c into the TEXT part of the json syntax?

url = "/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=IDX&nvalue=0&svalue= TEXT ";

If I do the next line:

url = "/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=83&nvalue=0&svalue=c";

I get ...

I do programm the ESP8266 with the Ardiuino IDE.

So, I think it is C?

And in the C documentation I get different solutions.

When I use these I get error messages as:

Compilation error: cannot convert 'String' to 'const char*' in assignment

It would be helpfull if I get an example of the ...

In Domoticz I have made a Text sensor and in a ESP8266 I have a function that must update the text.

In the Wiki it says:
/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=IDX&nvalue=0&svalue=TEXT

IDX = id of your device (This number can be found in the devices tab in the column "IDX")
TEXT = Text you want ...

I don't know.

At one moment I had no Domoticz anymore and because I didn't had a proper backup I finally decided to do a total new installation.
Also because I had error messages when I wanted to update/upgrade the RasperryPi firmware.

I think the whole software was to much outdated.

So my choice ...

Thanks for all the replies.

At one moment Domoticz was totally dead, so I wiped a lot of tears.

I made a complete new installation on my RaspberryPI 3B+ with the new 2023.2 version.

Unfortunately I had no proper backup.

Luckely I had a text copy of all my dzVents scripts and also a text copy of ...

I have made a new Domoticz installation and now I see in my devices settings that there are two lines with the same idx.
One is a dummy switch and the otherone is a group.

Ofcourse I can delete one and make him again, and probably that is the solution.

But maybe this is a bug?

Yes, that is the solution.

Many thanks.

For many years I have a Domoticz home automation system based on Raspberry PI 3B+ and several ESPEasy modules.
Because of problems I made a complete new installation on the Raspberry Pi and now my Domoticz is running version 2023.
So far so good.

From the Domoticz I can send data to the ESPEasy ...

Does this mean that I need a lot of knowledge or is it a straight forward installation?

Will Domoticz run on the new Raspberry PI 5?

I think I'll wait until the Raspberry PI 5 is available and then install a completely new installation of Domoticz.

Can Domoticz run on the RPi5?

Now my Domoticz system doesn't work anymore.

So no lightning and no heating.

Please help, the house is very cold and dark.

I don't know how or why, but this morning my Domoticz system was working as always.

So my ' Please help, the house is very cold and dark. ' is not vacant anymore.
