homebridge-edomoticz Plugin

[TheRamon]

Alrighty, I have just updated the master branch.

Please note, mqtt-integration is discontinued!

In order to switch branches on git, please use:

$ git checkout master

Or wait a bit, @Marci will update npm soon. After that, you'd just use

$ npm install homebridge-edomoticz

[MacJL]

Whoops! There was still one small bug with authorization going on. I have just fixed this on the MQTT branch.

Thank you TheRamon. I've rebuild my docker homebridge container, and I have no problem anymore with the authentication with the mqtt branch. Now I'm rebuilding it again with the master branch.

[EDIT] It's OK for master branch too [/EDIT]

[TheRamon]

Great news, good to hear!

[Artic1980]

root@octopi:/home/pi# sudo npm install -g homebridge
sudo: npm: command not found
Whi??

[madrian]

Try...

sudo apt-get install npm

[Marci]

root@octopi:/home/pi# sudo npm install -g homebridge
sudo: npm: command not found
Whi??

You can't blindly follow a guide and presume all works. For the errors you're seeing something has gone wrong with one of the commands.

Start again from scratch, preferably using one of the Domoticz images, rather than a barebones Jessie install, which as stated in the first post, is for folks who know what they're doing and are capable of resolving basic Linux issues that may arise for themselves.

Essentially, you haven't got a working install of node / npm on your system, therefore nothing will have installed correctly, hence everything responds with 'command not found'.

[Marci]

Or wait a bit, @Marci will update npm soon. After that, you'd just use

$ npm install homebridge-edomoticz

Done! Version now nudged to v1.0.0!

Folks already running homebridge-edomoticz can update via npm update!

@TheRamon:

I have updated the the latest master branch, but no dice on color changing... How can I test if the HTTP fallback works? Or what do you need for debugging

[Mazzokun]

The whole point of MQTT is that changes you make in your HomeKit app get sent immediately. Also, when switching a value in Domoticz itself, the HomeKit app gets updated immediately. Works really nice.

I have updated

Code: Select all

sudo npm update -g homebridge-edomoticz --unsafe-perm

, removed Home from iCloud, changed Mac SN and pin in Config.json and restart the PI and reconfigured the home in iOs. Nothing changed, if i switch a value in Domoticz, HomeKit doesn't get updated.
Where is my mistake? Thank you for hard work

@TheRamon:

I have updated the the latest master branch, but no dice on color changing... How can I test if the HTTP fallback works? Or what do you need for debugging

Ehhh, could you check the domoticz log? (Not homebridge)
You can view the log on the website. (Probably localhost:8080/#/Log)
Upon sending a "colour" command, you should either see something like "Command sent" or something like "Could not parse mqtt command".
Could you try a few times and post that log here?
Thanks.

The whole point of MQTT is that changes you make in your HomeKit app get sent immediately. Also, when switching a value in Domoticz itself, the HomeKit app gets updated immediately. Works really nice.

I'm not really sure, but try to go to your homebridge folder, and do a simple:
$ npm update homebridge-edomoticz

You're installing homebridge-edomoticz with -g, that means globally. Could be that your homebridge folder already has a node_modules folder with the old version of homebridge-edomoticz. Either remove that folder or run the above command.

Let me know if you need more info.

[TheRamon]

It actually looks like switching colours on your Bureau Lamp is not broken. It even sends the command over HTTP like intended.

2016-10-27 12:26:43.336 User: Admin initiated a switch command (291/Bureau Lamp/setcolbrightnessvalue)

You're basically sending the below command. Will you try this one out in your browser please? (Should change lamp to red)
domoticz_url:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=291&switchcmd=setcolbrightnessvalue&hex=FF0000

Also, try out the command below, does this one work for you? (Should change lamp to blue)
domoticz_url:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=291&switchcmd=setcolbrightnessvalue&hue=240&brightness=100&iswhite=false

If the one above works, please try out this one: (Should change lamp to green)
domoticz_url:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=291&switchcmd=setcolbrightnessvalue&hue=120&brightness=100&sat=100&iswhite=false

[rwijbenga]

I get an error about hardware:

Code: Select all

{
   "message" : "Error sending switch command, check device/hardware !",
   "status" : "ERROR",
   "title" : "SwitchLight"
}

When I use this JSON command it changes the color:

Code: Select all

http://domoticz_url:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=setcolbrightnessvalue&idx=291&hex=FFC700

Output:

Code: Select all

{
   "status" : "OK",
   "title" : "SetColBrightnessValue"
}

I use the RFLink hardware in combination wit MiLight's. Maybe the JSON command are different?

[simon_rb]

Marci,

Was wondering if you could modify the way edomoticz exposes the Nest Thermostat to Homebridge/kit. Currently it always says heating and the other day when out I set the house to warm up for when we got home. I later asked the house if heating was on and Siri said your house is heating when it wasn't. Mrs wasn't happy to arrive home to a cold house.

Anyways, there is a heating on switch which is automatically added when you add the nest to domoticz. Would there be away to link that to homebridge to expose that as an indication if the heating is on or not? Might be a little complicated if you need the IDX number as that would be different for each person. Maybe each user edits a config file themselves with the IDX number, or maybe it can be grabbed by device name and everyone names it as heating.

Maybe it isn't possible, just thought I'd ask the question. Cheers mate!!!!!

[G3rard]

@TheRamon and @Marci, just updated to the latest version of eDomoticz (had to do some updates on homebridge and nodejs before everything was working, had still old versions running).

It is working great. The MQTT solution is really fast! Also curious to see how the caching solution is working.
Thank you for this superb software

[Mazzokun]

I'm not really sure, but try to go to your homebridge folder, and do a simple:
$ npm update homebridge-edomoticz

You're installing homebridge-edomoticz with -g, that means globally. Could be that your homebridge folder already has a node_modules folder with the old version of homebridge-edomoticz. Either remove that folder or run the above command.

I format and then reinstalled everything from beginning, but still can't see any change in iOS App if I type a command into domoticz webpage
