Domoboard - General Discussions

[felix63]

and my traffic and cams obviously

Nice!

Whats the config for iCloud? Wanne try that as well. You might be careful posting your private data (numberplate etc) on the screen. This in combination with your agenda....

[squandor]

hmm i thought that the lack of quality of the picture was enough privacy for my numberplate

and the calendar is all test info which was inserted as an batch so no worry's

the config for the icloud is:
[general_settings]
[[icloud]]
user = appleid
password = pass


[dashboard]
[[display_components]]
components = icloud
[[icloud]]

make sure to install some dependencies with:

Code: Select all

sudo easy_install pyicloud calendar

Hello,

I think my entries in the config file are not correct but I can not find more deteail information on how it should be exactly.
Can you please give some more detailed information on how to add the right config file entries for this plugin.

It seems like you're config settings aren't correct indeed. An format for the address could be:
[[anwb]]
startPoint = "Korte minrebroederstraat 1, Utrecht"
endPoint = "Korte Nieuwstraat 6, Nijmegen"

These points are working on my test situation, so hopefully it will work at your's to.

When I use your addresses every thing is working as expected but when I use my own addresses I still get error messages like:

KeyError: 'city' and IndexError: list index out of range

The difference I see is that you have streetnames consisting out of two words and cityname with only one word.
I have street names consisting of only one word and city names consisting out of two words.

So it looks like there's an issues with the correct reading the parameters from the config file.

If I start adding group/scene pushon buttons with their idx... how will it know that it is a scene idx and not a device idx?

Hi Squandor,

Will keep hitting you with my questions and findings. Domoboard really is very useful in making a flexibel interface to domoticz!

Feature requests:
1- add contact switches (for doors and windows etc)
2- add text switch (for Nefit Boiler status, Plex movie playing etc)
3- reposition humidity info above up/down arrow in small font to create consistent tile size.

Bugs:
4- displaying of switch in different browsers such as Safari & Firefox (see Github)
5- inconsistent displaying of setpoint (see image)

setpoint.png (59.22 KiB) Viewed 2292 times

6- weather information is not always loading, requires reloads. Where can I find console.log?

weer.png (22.53 KiB) Viewed 2292 times

Question
7- how do I configure '[map]'?
8- how do I configure '[verkeer]'?
9- what are other options in top_tiles (fire, temp, power-off, ...)
10- [verkeer] and [icloud] tiles show tool-icon, seems to have no function (yet). Is this a correct assumption?
11- On GitHub you have an example showing CV Pressure in Bar. How do I configure this?

About iCloud:
12- When using install option on settings page I got an error (Error occured during loading imports for the plugin icloud: No module named pyicloud) that went away after trying your suggestion about installing dependencies. However that doesn't work as expected, giving:

Code: Select all

Reading https://pypi.python.org/simple/calendar/
No local packages or download links found for calendar
error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('calendar')

Calendar also doesn't show any data, only 'undefined'...

That's all...! Can I do anything to help out in return?

[squandor]

If I start adding group/scene pushon buttons with their idx... how will it know that it is a scene idx and not a device idx?

Sean

Hi Blackdog65,

You can see this in the devices tab in domoticz. if you search with the keywords Scene or Group you will find you're idx numbers

you have pm so we can test this explicit with you city name.

Sean

Hi Blackdog65,

You can see this in the devices tab in domoticz. if you search with the keywords Scene or Group you will find you're idx numbers

I have these devices and scenes/group:

idx.png (143 KiB) Viewed 2282 times

when I add

Code: Select all

	[[[Scenes]]]
		Spelen = 9, pushoff

I get

Code: Select all

Device with 9 is not available in Domoticz

And if I add 11 as a group it appears to switch the device not the group. So I think blackdog65 might have a point...

It appears that you're idx 9 is an group so if you changed you're pushoff to group it should work fine. And yes the pushoff method uses the switch command in the api but only with the parameter on or off depending on you're choice.
But for scenes or groups you must use

Code: Select all

 Spelen = 9, group

or

Code: Select all

Spelen = 9, scene

Hi Squandor,

Feature requests:
1- add contact switches (for doors and windows etc)
2- add text switch (for Nefit Boiler status, Plex movie playing etc)
3- reposition humidity info above up/down arrow in small font to create consistent tile size.temperature.png

Tnx for you requests. we will add them to our list for features, but an text switch is actually an utility so we will look into that.

Bugs:
4- displaying of switch in different browsers such as Safari & Firefox (see Github)
5- inconsistent displaying of setpoint (see image)setpoint.png
6- weather information is not always loading, requires reloads. Where can I find console.log? weer.png

Thanks for you're switch and setpoint display bug we will look into that
And the weather template uses the Yahoo API which don't always returns information so we are trying to find an solution for this.

Question
7- how do I configure '[map]'?

in the config use the following configuration:

Code: Select all

[general_settings]
[[anwb]]
startPoint = "address housenumber, city"
endPoint = "address housenumber, city"

than you could add the anwb template to an page by adding it to the display components like:

Code: Select all

[dashboard]
[[display_components]]
components = anwb
[[anwb]]

8- how do I configure '[verkeer]'?

to add verkeer to an page or create an single page for it you can do the following:

Code: Select all

[navbar]
  [[menu]]
    Dashboard = dashboard
    Verkeer = verkeer

Code: Select all

[verkeer]
  [[display_components]]
    components = verkeer
  [[verkeer]]
 

9- what are other options in top_tiles (fire, temp, power-off, ...)

All the fontawesome icons. you can find the names at:
http://fontawesome.io/icons/

10- [verkeer] and [icloud] tiles show tool-icon, seems to have no function (yet). Is this a correct assumption?

You're completely right about that. We where thinking to use that in the future when there is more time

11- On GitHub you have an example showing CV Pressure in Bar. How do I configure this?

Which example do you mean exactly i can't find it


About iCloud:
12- When using install option on settings page I got an error (Error occured during loading imports for the plugin icloud: No module named pyicloud) that went away after trying your suggestion about installing dependencies. However that doesn't work as expected, giving:

Code: Select all

Reading https://pypi.python.org/simple/calendar/
No local packages or download links found for calendar
error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('calendar')

Calendar also doesn't show any data, only 'undefined'...

hmm the calendar option is tricky to test, what you could try is add the follow print statement to the icloud.py script located in the plugins folder:

Code: Select all

for i in events:
	print i

if you start the domoboard and open an page where the calendar is located you should see something in you're console.

very nice dashboard!

I have Domoboard running and was trying to alter some idx and camera's but why can't I see what I've adjusted in de example.conf file?
I've restarted the server and still the old config opens.

Could it be you're cache? to make sure that domoboard uses you're config try to run it with

Code: Select all

sudo python server.py -c configfile.conf 

and for debugging purposes you could add the parameter -d

[Snowtiger]

I installed all dependencies but still get this error :

Code: Select all

xx@raspberrypi:~/git/domoboard $ sudo python2.7 server.py -c myconf.conf
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "server.py", line 4, in <module>
    from flaskext.auth import Auth, AuthUser, login_required, logout
ImportError: No module named auth

As you can see i already did the python2.7 trick - also tried to install auth via easy-install but that did not solve the error.

Using the following in my config doesn't work:

Code: Select all

	[[domoticz_counter_charts]]
		Druk = 440, month, pressure

[jjnj]

here is an screenshot with the pushon button with D-Gong for example.

I was wondering what kind off domoboards everbody are creating. Just some samples

okay here are some pics from my test situation

Can you tell me how you made the code for your 'Woonkamer' switches that you have two rows of switches? Or is it one row switches, one row scenes?

[felix63]

It appears that you're idx 9 is an group so if you changed you're pushoff to group it should work fine. And yes the pushoff method uses the switch command in the api but only with the parameter on or off depending on you're choice.
But for scenes or groups you must use

Code: Select all

 Spelen = 9, group

or

Code: Select all

Spelen = 9, scene

I have changed my config to

Code: Select all

  [[switches]]
	[[[Scenes]]]
		TV kijken = 3, group
		Slapen = 4, scene
		Alles uit = 5, scene
		Concert = 11, group

Now I have no switches anymore... so that does not seem to work!

Aah ok that's the counter chart, the config for this specific example was:

Code: Select all

[[display_components]]
components = domoticz_counter_charts
[[domoticz_counter_charts]]
CV Pressure = 73, month, Pressure

Sure no problem i have used the following config:

Code: Select all

[woonkamer]
[[display_components]]
components = top_tiles, switches[Schakelaars], switches[Keuken Scenes]
[[switches]]
  [[[Schakelaars]]]
    Woonkamer dimmer = 126, dimmer
    Keuken Spot 1 = 182, rgb
    Keuken Spot 2 = 183, rgb
    Keuken Spot 3 = 184, rgb
    Hall Light = 185, switch
  [[[Keuken Scenes]]]
    Set Hue Arctic aurora = 193, pushon
    Set Hue Bright = 191, pushon
    Set Hue Concentrate = 189, pushon
    Start Scene Home = 5, scene
    Group Living Appliances = 6, group

that should work.

[squandor]

		TV kijken = 3, group
		Slapen = 4, scene
		Alles uit = 5, scene
		Concert = 11, group

Now I have no switches anymore... so that does not seem to work!

that's because you don't have any switches configured at the moment.
If you edit your config and for example add an switch for Light 1 you will get:

Code: Select all

  
  [[switches]]
	[[[Scenes]]]
		TV kijken = 3, group
		Slapen = 4, scene
		Alles uit = 5, scene
		Concert = 11, group
		Light 1 = 133, switch

[blackdog65]

hmmm...
I still get scenes interpreted as devices

Code: Select all

[heating]
  [[display_components]]
     components = top_tiles, switches[Setpoints],switches[Controls], bar_charts
  [[top_tiles]]
    Sitting Room = 361, fire
    Kitchen = 372, fire
    Z-Bedroom = 374, fire
    V-Bedroom = 363, fire 
    S-Bedroom = 369, fire
    Outside = 77, fire
  [[switches]]
    [[[Setpoints]]]
     Sitting Room = 362, setpoint
     Kitchen = 373, setpoint
     Z-Bedroom = 375, setpoint
     V-Bedroom = 364, setpoint
     S-Bedroom = 370, setpoint
    [[[Controls]]]
     Off = 18, scene
     HotWater = 19, scene	
     Heating = 20, scene
     Holiday = 21, scene

  [[bar_charts]]
     SittingRoom-Rad = 365
     Kitchen-Rad = 368
     Z-Bedroom-Rad = 366
     V-Bedroom-Rad = 367
     S-Bedroom-Rad = 371

Code: Select all

Device with 19 is not available in Domoticz

In the device tab I have "device idx" 18, 20 & 21 and "scene idx" 18, 19, 20 & 21 so it appears that devices are seen and not scenes
