I have to admit dimmers continue to behave very funny. When I try to set a light to something other than 100% it jumps to the desired level, then a couple of % back, than to the level again, eg 80-82-80 or even weirder: 80-83-76-80
It looks like it tries to find the corrrect value :-) and then setttles.
This behavior is edomoticz/homebridge related as if I set the level in Domoticz it just sets the level.
I am using DIY MySensors-based dimmer and the latest git version of edomoticz.

The issue is with your choice of app. it’s caused by latency in network traffic as it can’t respond quick enough to the change of the slider, as the slider is streaming out updates as you drag it, rather than waiting for your drag to end then sending the final figure.
Extended Domoticz homebridge-plugin for latest Homebridge - adds temp/humidity/pressure sensors, power consumption sensors, DarkSkies virtual weather station support, YouLess Meter support, general % usage support & switch/lamp status checking!

Hi Edwin, thank you for your debug output. Would you try getting the latest version from npm and see if this issue is resolved? (npm -g update homebridge)

Would you try another (new) "lamp" just to check? Can also be another dummy switch. See if it might be related to the scripts you're running, although I doubt it...

I´ve got homebridge-edomoticz set up and all my Domoticz accessories and switches are shown in the Home-app / Eve app.

1. If I flip a switch in Domoticz, i.e. turn on a light, that info are shown in the Home-app. (OK)

2. If i try to flip the switch in the Home app / Eve instead, it appears in the app as the light has been turned on. However, nothing happens with the light and the switch is still "Off" in Domoticz.

What is wrong - it is driving me crazy (especially after quite many reinstalls :( )

Two questions:

1. Is there a way to decrease the polling frequency of a particular device? eDomoticz seems to drain the battery of my Netatmo weather station pretty fast. I wonder if this is caused by the homebridge plugin (eDomoticz) or by Domoticz directly.

2. Is there a way to prevent (hide or disable) this or that device used in Domoticz to not appear in a HomeKit iOS app?

To hide the device from HomeKit you can create a room within Domoticz and add all the devices you would like eDomoticz to expose to Homebridge/HomeKit. Add that room IDX to your config file.

Hope this helps

Hi evrebody,

I'm very new to Domoticz and all its stuff. I just installed eDomoticz on my Sinology DS215j using jumbotroll builds and follow this http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/ ... 783.0.html to install Homebridge (because DS215j doesn't support docker) and "obviously" I replace vera by eDomoticz.

The install seems fine.
The config.json contains:

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": [
        {
            "platform": "eDomoticz",
            "name": "eDomoticz",
            "server": "127.0.0.1",
            "port": "8084",
            "roomid": 0
        }
    ],
    "accessories": []
}
port is 8084 by default on synology.

But when I run homebridge I got 2 problems.

First, the script HomKitDomoticzAuto.sh containing:

Code: Select all

/var/packages/debian-chroot/scripts/start-stop-status start chroot 
/usr/local/debian-chroot/var/chroottarget/ 
/root/.homebridge/run.sh
Fail with :

Code: Select all

Failed to start message bus: The pid file "/var/run/dbus/pid" exists, if the message bus is not running, remove this file
Stopping system message bus: dbus.
Starting system message bus: dbus.
Starting Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Daemon: avahi-daemon.
/root/.homebridge/run.sh: line 8: homebridge: command not found
The second problem is, when I try to run manually all these commands, homebridge is running but I got following messages:

Code: Select all

Debian Chroot is already running
Failed to start message bus: The pid file "/var/run/dbus/pid" exists, if the message bus is not running, remove this file

No, apparently not. I got it working after I added Mqtt under hardware. Thanks a lot! Hadn't seen any info about needing that.

Now Apple's Home app works great from home. However not working when not home, just says "updating"

Assuming it's an Apple TV 3/4.. if it's working correctly as a hub then it should work. It has nothing to do with edomoticz or homebridge. Mine works fine, Apple TV 4 as a hub..

Having a problem with MQTT.

I have Domoticz (with the MQTT hardware device added), mosquitto and homebridge/edomoticz all running on the same host.
ks
MQTT and DOMOTICZ talking fine via mosquitto - I can set device values via mosquitto_pub ..... as per wiki, but when I enable MQTT in the config.json for homebridge/ebdomoticz I get a message, repeated every second saying Retrying MQTT connection (or words to that effect).

Any ideas on debug?

Thanks in advance

Are the ports and settings correct within the config file?

Re: homebridge-edomoticz Plugin

Post by simon_rb »

I am just wondering if something is possible and thought this is the best place to ask :-)

I have certain things within Domoticz setup as dimmers which are not actually lights. eDomoticz quite rightly exposes them as dimmers and they work just fine. I was wondering if the fan accessory has a slider just like the lights? I've not got any fans so I can't test. If they do is there a way to manually change my dimmers I want to not show as lights within HomeKit? I don't want eDomoticz changed, I would like to edit them locally within the accessories folder maybe? Or I could be completely barking up the wrong tree. Be nice to say turn off the lights in the Living Room and for my surround sound not to go off lol. For now I have created a new room called devices and put them in there lol. Possible? Appreciate your ideas and help.. cheers :-)
