homebridge-edomoticz Plugin

[TheRamon]

Hi all,

I installed a fresh installation of Homebridge on my Raspberry Pi. However, it is not starting anymore.

Please verify if your Domoticz installation is running on port 8080 on that same machine. Are you using a username/pw to connect?

Also, please change your config to:

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": "8080",
            "ssl": 0,
            "roomid": 0,
            "mqtt": 0
        }
    ],
    "accessories": []
}

Since the old mqttenabled is not supported anymore.

Hi,

Domoticz is running on port 8080 on the same machine. It has no password or username installed.

edit: Nevermind. I figured out. I did not had installed any devices in Domoticz. I added some bulbs and now its working fine.

PS: Is it possible to use homebridge with a password protected domoticz?

New problem.

I installed the WOL plugin to turn on my NAS server with siri.

I installed the plugin but it fails with:

@TheRamon:

Tried (after turned the LED on):

SET BEDLED to 100%
DIM BEDLED to 100%

....If I ask Set LED ON it just works, the On command is not sent twice. Just the dimming command is wrong.

Code: Select all

.......

But I got a good idea (I think). Can you please try out my code? It just generate a link, so I it should work without device as well.

1, create a dimmer:

(I assume you have a dummy device already, in my case it is named "Dummy")
In Switches menu click to Manual/Light Switch. In the popup choose these values:

Hardware: Dummy
Device Name: LED
Switch type: Dimmer
Type: LightwaveRF
ID: random
Unit code: random
As: main device.

You now have a dimmer like this:

2, The script:

Put this script to

/[DOMOTICZDIRECTORY]/scripts/lua/script_device_LED.lua

filename, must be exactly same (LED=Dimmer name): script_device_LED.lua

I removed os.execute to not execute the socat command (it's like curl), it just prints the executed command.

...........in Domoticz log you you will see that the On command is executed after.

Hi,
Homebridge is working well on my pi3 (I have done a migration from my pi2). I really don't know how I have made it worked, because I tried so many things... and the last action was to copy the files in '~/.homebridge/persist' from my pi2 to my new pi3... That was the only way to see my device "homebridge" on my iphone without reconfigure everything on my iphone

I just have a single question: where can I find the logs of homebridge?
I used to find it in the ~/.forever folder, but now I use 'sudo systemctl start homebridge' to start homebridge, I'm not using forever anymore
To see the status of homebridge, I use 'sudo systemctl status homebridge.service -l'
but where can I find those files? nothing in /var/log, nothing in ~/.homebridge, nothing in ~/homebridge, ...

An idea?

I have the latest domoticz (beta), edomoticz & homebridge plugin installed, but when run I get:

Hi there, sorry to bother you but I have a question regarding the use of homebridge with domoticz.
can you please let me know how you've installed homebridge and got it working?
I am fairly new to this, I've tried a lot of things and nothing seems to work yet.
I got a Pi3.

Thnx in advance!

It worked fine before i started using MQTT. I have the latest version of homebridge installed.

Can someone help me?

[TheRamon]

PS: Is it possible to use homebridge with a password protected domoticz?

Yep, it is. Just prepend your username and password in your config > server.
e.g.

Code: Select all

"platform": "eDomoticz",
"name": "eDomoticz",
"server": "ramon:[email protected]",
"port": "8081",

but where can I find those files? nothing in /var/log, nothing in ~/.homebridge, nothing in ~/homebridge, ...
An idea?

Usually, log should be in /var/log/homebridge.log and /var/log/homebridge.err ...

I have the latest domoticz (beta), edomoticz & homebridge plugin installed, but when run I get:
[12/3/2016, 12:34:39 AM] [eDomoticz] There was a problem connecting to Domoticz.
Any ideas?

I've added more debug information to "There was a problem connecting to Domoticz".. Could you try updating through NPM and try again?

Hello,
Is there any updates about MQTT and RGB support ?

No updates, should all work well.

I get homebridge to run for a couple of seconds and then it crashes with the following message:

It worked fine before i started using MQTT. I have the latest version of homebridge installed.

Can someone help me?

Not really sure what the problem is here, I'll try and have a look. Could you post the device json output of your RFXMeter Counter?
See the first post for instructions.

@TheRamon:

Will try this now.

@TheRamon,

thanks for trying it out.

I investigated more: I renamed my lua folder (which means no script is running):

Code: Select all

Sooo weird. It can't be else, it must be the Domoticz itself.

What version are you using? I am using: Version 3.5837 (October 30th 2016)

I have no other idea.

Thanks for your reply.
I don't have a water flow device as the code says. I got three counters and they output the following:

Thank you, will try.

Whoa, so weird.. Something MUST be interfering. I'm on version 3.6033. (Beta)

but where can I find those files? nothing in /var/log, nothing in ~/.homebridge, nothing in ~/homebridge, ...
An idea?

Usually, log should be in /var/log/homebridge.log and /var/log/homebridge.err ...

Thanks, but there isn't anything such as homebridge.err or homebridge.log in /var/log
I use "sudo systemctl start homebridge" to start homebridge, but is there a script or config file that we can modify to define where the logs are written?
