Re: Python Plugin: GoodWe solar inverter via SEMS API

Hi, y'all, My housing corp deployed solar panels with GoodWE inverters, with 4G modules instead of WiFi. That's why I'm here. I cannot communicate with the GoodWE directly, so I have to use the SEMS API. I implemented JanJaap's plug-in. Seems to work okay. But I'm dreading the fact that my Domoticz ...

Well, that is right here: http://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Domoticz_API/JSON_URL%27s#Set_an_RGB.28W.29_light_to_a_certain_color_and_brightness Two commands are in this section, one for HSB color control, without saturation, and a new one ...

Re: Detect Mains Power and keep Domoticz synchronized

You're right about 433MHz. I just had an issue with my rain meter. I replaced it for zwave and after that, I discovered that another device, somewhere in the neighborhood was sending erroneous info on the same 433MHz protocol/dev-id as my old rain meter was using. With 5 T/H-sensors, UV-sensor, door ...

Re: New switchtype "off-on" in Domoticz

Quite a lot of domotica hardware is not compatible with the very low power usage of a led-lamp. Some brands even sell 'shunt' devices that need to be connected in parallel with the led lamp, to make them use a bit more power, so there will be just enough current for the serially connected device to ...

Re: Problem with Python based Events

An 'Event' is something that happens. The script you made is just a short script. If this script was made using the GUI, then it is stored in Domoticz's database. You can also put scripts in the domoticz/scripts/python directory. Python support is fairly new. LUA support has been there for a long ...

Re: dummy device (?) cannot trigger event

So, in LUA it works. That is indeed very useful, if you're not able to change the code that takes the RFID code to the text sensor. You'll get used to LUA. It will be worth the effort learning it. It can do much more and it is not so buggy. Just keep in mind that all of it is event-driven and have ...

Re: dummy device (?) cannot trigger event

First: Blockly (and also LUA) will probably only trigger on changes of the RFID. So, the code that sends the RFID tags to the Domoticz dummy switches should send the tag number and a trigger, for example, an On to a dummy pushbutton. The blockly should look like: IF RFIDtrigger=On AND RFID=12345 DO ...

Re: Detect Mains Power and keep Domoticz synchronized

Interesting designs. I might build some of these, because I'm still a lot of euro away from replacing all of my 433MHz stuff for ZWave. To solve it by classic electronic hobby solution: Use a KAKU keyfob, take it apart, create a 'capacitive dropper' power supply for it with quite a big storage ...

Re: Fibaro Dimmer 2

ZWave devices are usually loaded with extra features that enable you to build some extra intelligence in the ZWave network itself, without using Domoticz Blockly/LUA. The first level ID of your list controls the output; your lamp. The second level ID probably depicts the state of the second switch ...

Re: Virtual meter that is the sum of two other meters

I don't think Domoticz has a ready-made virtual meter that can add up the values of a list of other meters. However, you can do that with scripting.

Re: Hardwired Smoke Alarm

You're excluding a lot of smoke alarms with that hardwired requirement. Finding such that also talks to the rfxtrx433 will be hard, indeed. May I propose getting a battery-powered one. Put a rechargeable battery in it and connect a mains-powered DC powersupply to that, via a diode and a charging ...

Re: Google Cloud Messaging works. But how?

Newest stable Domoticz version 3.8153 has a mobile devices list, under 'setup - more options'. You can delete devices, there. I like to keep track of the mobile devices, so, thank you, dev team.

You can register new devices by installing the Domoticz app and setup notifications in the app.

Re: Lua to control dim level with pulse switch

Hmm. My goal is to get rid of the KAKU devices and replacing them with ZWAVE. ZWave is the better, because of its bi-directional communication, mesh-network-capability, more functionality in the devices, sensors and switches, more speed, each powered device is able to pass-through, in case another ...

Mine runs its / partition from a Synology using NFS. /boot is only used read-only, during booting the Raspberry. Rasbian and Domoticz 'survive' Synology DSM upgrades. Everything just freezes during DSM upgrade. But if the ethernet connection drops, the Raspberry will need to be rebooted. Maybe ...
