it's a development platform so you have to develop any deviation from the functionality you are given...

Gentlemen are you sure that HUP signal does its job? In my case any attempts to run /usr/bin/killall -HUP /home/pi/domoticz/domoticz /usr/bin/killall -SIGHUP /home/pi/domoticz/domoticz cause no visible effects in /var/log/domoticz.txt so I am not sure that this signal is handled by the domoticz at ...

I use the same stable version. And I have the same problem = all variants of -syslog local0...local7 settings are ignored Instead, some logging info is fragmented across facility 1 (/var/log/user.log & syslog): Domoticz is starting up.... Domoticz running... ... Domoticz is exiting... Domoticz ...

It's possible. I went this way but be prepared for challenges https://github.com/burnash/gspread This is Python API so you will have to use python scripting. I am personally don't know python so I had to heavily abuse Google search to make every little step ahead. I used python 2.7 My script reads ...

Hello My custom handmade script acts as a sensor and scans Playstation devices at home as well as the status of PSN (Playstation Network). The objective is to notify my when the stations are on or when PSN is broken. The script works good more or less and it uses JSON API to update a dummy devices ...

Hello I wonder if I can configure the logger more precisely in order to troubleshooting for a particular module. I used to develop in Java and it was very practical to use Jog4J - it allowed any module to log its messages in any level of details under its own namespace For example, when I am facing ...

Thanks for the feedback I don't really know what is the functionality of 'Floorplan' and in my case my 'Media Player' switch is defined under 'Switches' tab of main menu (Dashboard, Switches, Scenes, Temperature, Weather, Utility, Setup) I added a new hardware Dummy (...use for virtual switches only ...

Hello I see there is a special type of switch 'Media Player' which is supposed to have additional state 'Stream Pause' What is it for, or how I can use it? I recognized that it has dual logo with the windows media player icon and a remote control unit also: when it's 'off' then only the icon of ...

Is there a way to make Domoticz perform such the poll requests? Which component or module of Domoticz should be used for? I understand that I may use cron daemon at Linux level, it could be done from RPi 2 where Domoticz is run. However I guess it would be more logical and elegant to have it done ...

I have Logitech Squeezebox Radio (code name baby) and I am happy to listen it without any LMS installed in my home. Please hint if it is possible to setup my Radio in Domoticz directly having no LMS?

Aha! That's the way to go! Thanks, Kouseri!
I would agree with the topic starter of How to use "MQTT Client Gateway with LAN interface" that the description of MQTT at WIKI isn't clear.

That's fantastic idea to offer people looking for documentation to write one instead! Right! If I cannot figure out how it works then I should be just the best contributor to the knowledge base

Dear community, let me please ask you to confirm my understanding that domoticz isn't actually an MQTT client and has no settings to specify to which MQTT topic to subscribe. The platform Domoticz only allows external applications like Node-RED script to manipulate with MQTT messages and send ...

Folks, what's the point to name scripts like script_device_%subject% if I have to specify the name manually anyway? It works even if I name it player_on.sh under the folder /home/pi/domoticz/scripts And if I specify On Action: script://player_on.sh then it is executed every time when I switch it on ...

For the connection question : Connection is to the Arduino via a serial USB interface. As for RFXcom devices, it is convenient to make a persistent device name that Domoticz can read and write also for the MySensors gateway connection. Use the lsusb command to display the vendor and product id ...
