Didn't help

Below is the default init.d script of mosquitto. Might help you.
systemctl is horrible I think init.d still works though?

Try to overwrite your mosquitto script in init.d with the one below. You might have accidentally changed something.
After overwriting, type: /etc/init.d/mosquitto status. If it's not active try: /etc/init.d/mosquitto restart again..

Spoiler: show

$ cat /etc/init.d/mosquitto

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:		mosquitto

# Required-Stop:	$remote_fs $syslog
# Default-Start:	2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:		0 1 6
# Short-Description:	mosquitto MQTT v3.1 message broker
# Description: 
#  This is a message broker that supports version 3.1 of the MQ Telemetry
#  Transport (MQTT) protocol.
#  
#  MQTT provides a method of carrying out messaging using a publish/subscribe
#  model. It is lightweight, both in terms of bandwidth usage and ease of
#  implementation. This makes it particularly useful at the edge of the network
#  where a sensor or other simple device may be implemented using an arduino for
#  example.

@hpapagaj: Sorry to bother but I'm having a hard time to reproduce the bug, could you please describe the steps you take one more time? Thanks!
Also, what kind of lamp do you have? You're saying you're asking Siri the value and it dims?

No Luck

Any luck with not sending an On command with certain dimmers? Only ask as I'm about ready to post a couple of scripts that allow control of LMS players volume control and power via a dimmer and the only hiccup is if you say "set Kitchen Radio to 50%" then sometimes the On command is sent second and if the dimmer changes to 'On' then it sets the radio to 0%. It needs to display the % for the scripts to send volume to the LMS lol.

I do think it's a HomeKit thing and you can't do anything with it. Maybe I should try my luck with Domoticz developer and ask for an option not to have 'On' displayed on a dimmer. I mean you can see if it's on or off via JSON and by the icon. You really only want to see the percentage on the switch itself, can't see a reason for a dimmer to display 'On'?!? Or am
I missing something lol

EDIT:- Hold that thought... Maybe a way of getting the data another way, might grab the Level from the JSON rather than the data if thats possible..

Hi,

I try to run home bridge on my rpi, I think I have a problem with the config.json file, when I run Homebridge, this error appear:

When I run Homebridge without the config.json file, Homebridge works, I don't what I do wrong...

Maybe the response is in the forum, but 51 pages is too heavy to read, sorry...

Yeah, it's got nothing to do with HomeKit itself. The plugin sends an on command when the dimmer is off. After that, the level is dimmed. Problem here is that it's not executed in order. So sometimes the level gets set before the on command. I've added a timeout locally, when the dimmer is off. So:
- Dimmer off
- Send on
- Wait 200ms
- Set Level

When the dimmer is already on, it just sends the level directly. I was still in the progress of testing this, will let you know.

Ps. Using JSON and reading level is a better idea, yeah!

@Thom

Your config file is wrong. Are you using the latest plugin, if you are you need the MQTT info in their too and make sure you have a broker running and that you have added it to Domoticz under the hardware..

Example Config

Code: Select all

{
    "bridge": {
        "name": "Homebridge",
        "username": "CC:21:3E:E4:DE:33",
        "port": 51826,
        "pin": "031-45-154"
    },
    "description": "Configuration file for (e)xtended Domoticz platform.",
    "platforms": [
        {

            "mqttuser": "",
            "mqttpass": ""
        }
    ],
    "accessories": []
}

@TheRamon

Oh excellent, so if the dimmer is on will it only send the value rather than an On command and the value? If thats the case that would fix my wall light dimmers

[NewFolk]

All 3 command work fine for me.

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

But not from homekit app or Eve.

In log i see only on/off

Code: Select all

MQTT: Topic: domoticz/in, Message: {"command":"switchlight","idx":117,"switchcmd":"On"}

and brightness change

Code: Select all

MQTT: Topic: domoticz/in, Message: {"command":"switchlight","idx":117,"level":100,"switchcmd":"Set Level"}

but when color change I see only

Code: Select all

User: Admin initiated a switch command

If i disable MQTT by

Code: Select all

"mqttenable":0

On any action I see

Code: Select all

User: Admin initiated a switch command

All works fine before upgrade(before MQTT integration) and all works fine from domoticz

rwijbenga, did you find the solution?

Btw I also you MilIght but not with RFlink. I use native WiFi interface and Domoticz.

Sorry, I try to reinstalled the Homebridge with MQTT, but I don't understand the way to have the broker running. I installed the MQTT Client in my Domoticz /Hardware. I put this config.json:

Code: Select all

{
    "bridge": {
        "name": "Homebridge",
        "username": "B8:27:EB:0C:D1:C6",

Also, what kind of lamp do you have? You're saying you're asking Siri the value and it dims?

The hardware is a PWM controller.

The switch is a slider, with this script:

As you can see, we send this url to the device "echo Fadetimer=2000,LED1_target=225 | socat - TCP:192.168.1.10:43333". That's all.

[madrian]

More iOs 10 problem:

iPhone 7/iOS 10 after some time Home app doesn't see the Homebridge. It keeps saying for all devices: Updating. In same time I checked with my iPhone 5S/Eve app: works fine.

Homebridge status is OK:

IMG_0035.jpg (283.34 KiB) Viewed 2180 times

...after restarting Homebridge, iOS10 works again. Interesting.

[Nautilus]

All works fine before upgrade(before MQTT integration) and all works fine from domoticz

rwijbenga, did you find the solution?

Btw I also you MilIght but not with RFlink. I use native WiFi interface and Domoticz.

I can confirm similar behavior with MiLight bridge (controlled as native Domoticz hardware). On/off and dimming works, changing color does nothing.
In the log I see something different though (I have updated eDomoticz yesterday):

2016-11-07 14:34:15.930 User: Admin initiated a switch command (114/Dinner table/setcolbrightnessvalue)
2016-11-07 14:34:15.943 MQTT: Topic: domoticz/in, Message: {"command":"switchlight","idx":114,"level":100,"switchcmd":"Set Level"}
2016-11-07 14:34:16.145 (MiLight) Lighting Limitless/Applamp (Dinner table)

Does this mean it is not reverting to http but tries to execute it through mqtt (second line)? First is from http I guess? Because if I just change the dimming level I only get the second and the third line. I'm somewhat confused but is it somehow that the mqtt then overrides the http as both seem to be executed one after the other...

[NewFolk]

Btw i did not update domoticz yet.

I'm somewhat confused but is it somehow that the mqtt then overrides the http as both seem to be executed one after the other...

Yeah, I had to fall back to http for colour changing. MQTT does not support that yet. Dimming works through MQTT though so that's why it's sending level 100 through MQTT.

More iOs 10 problem:

...after restarting Homebridge, iOS10 works again. Interesting.

Could you try posting the log? homebrige.log and homebridge.err in /var/log.

@TheRamon

Oh excellent, so if the dimmer is on will it only send the value rather than an On command and the value? If thats the case that would fix my wall light dimmers

I have just updated the master branch with a new version. Would you mind trying?

[simon_rb]

I have just updated the master branch with a new version. Would you mind trying?

My pleasure!

Not working for me but I have just upgraded from the MQTT test branch... I checked homebridge and I can't see connected to Broker so no sure I am running the right version.. How do I check mate? I followed instructions on page 46..

Whoops! Try: (sudo) git pull in npm /usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge-edomoticz

Am I doing this from within pi@raspberrypi:/usr/lib/node_modules$ cd homebridge-edomoticz/

Because I did that and my dimmers still receive the dim value followed by on command. How can I check I have the right version?

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi:/usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge-edomoticz$ sudo git pull
Already up-to-date.

An on command is still sent. Sometimes its before and sometimes is after. The wall lights were already on... So start their dimming phase, the switches log shows the On commands and the value commands...
