Install 2024.2 on Opensuse Topic is solved

[MikeVanD]

At the moment I run Domoticz 2024.2 on Linux Mint without much problems.
I keep it at 2024.2 for the zwave support as I am not able to get Z-Wave to work in the newer versions.

To save on my power bill, I am thinking of moving Domiticz to my other server, but that one is running OpenSuse Leap 15.6 which is needed for another webserver. I've tried to install via snap, but that is 2017 version and does not work with my settings.

Is there a simple way to install Domoticz 2024.2 on OpenSuse Leap 15.6, without the hassele of compiling? I'm handy, but not that handy

thnx!

Current versions of 2025 still have support for OpenZwave, only not for Zwave thermostats. The support is reimplemented in later 2024 versions due to some smaller issues in Zwave-JS-UI back then. So you still can upgrade.

You can try to install a fresh 2025.1 (using old openssl1) or 2025.1 beta (needs a recent OS using openssl3) and see if that works. See also viewtopic.php?t=43485
Activate motherboard sensors gateway to see if devices are created. Buienradar (when from the netherlands) is also easy to activate.
If this works you could think of migrating.

Another option is to use Docker on Opensuse and run the Domoticz container in that. No need to deal with OS's https://wiki.domoticz.com/Docker
Also a good start when you want to migrate to Zwave-JS-UI in Docker

Thanks!

I missed the info on the z-wave support completely!. That is good news!

Docker was the reason for me to put it on a temp server as it was behaving funny, but I kinda kept it on that temp server as i am quite busy (and lazy )

I am gonna try the recent 2025 version on and check if I van migrate if that is working.

Thanks again!
