homebridge-edomoticz Plugin

[jaha]

Hi

Running the latest beta and have installed a door lock it shows up as device typeval 19 instead av the old type 11. Can I change this in the config.json or somewhere else? Thanks!

Hi!

Would it be possible to add Domoticz built-in Security Panel to Homebridge. Currently I have my Paradox EVO192 linked to Security Panel and in Domoticz everyting is working fine. Is there any point in opening issue about this topic?

Regards,
Ergo

Hi

how did you linked Paradox alarm to the security panel?

Thanks

Hi!

With Tertiush Paradox IP150-MQTT script

e.

Can you share some scripts?

I'm in contact with Tertius in the OpenHab forum to understand how to get the status of the alarm from MQTT topic.
If I am OT on this topic we can open another one or via PM, if possible.

Thanks

As I don't know much about programming, I'm just using Node-Red and replacing every zones payload with suitable json.

[woody4165]

Very interesting, I don't know much about Node-red, but a little bit of programming...
How do you test if the alarm is Armed or Disarmed?

treid config.json in jsonlint and its a valid one,
can someone help me please?
thanks

EDIT: I noticed that if i do sudo homebridge it works!!!!!
why cant it not read the config.json when i type homebridge???????

[boudicca]

because sudo set's home folder as /root whereas normal login its /home/username, make sure your json file is located /home/username with 775 permissions... I think....

[mhogendoorn]

Edwin1234, your are missing coma behind server "server",

[edwin1234]

Thanks For your reply
But moving json to home/pi
Doesnt help.

[marcotini]

Is it possible that this plugin make my sensor fake-on when they are off? Maybe it's the timout?
Because now that I deactivate Homebridge everythigs work fine.

I don't know fronte what can be caused, because it's happen sometimes with no reason (and at night turn on all the lights lol).

[DewGew]

I have a homebridge working perfectly. Is there a way to have several users thrue homebridge?
Next if I change server user do I only get the devices for that specific user if have several users in domoticz?

"platform": "eDomoticz",
"name": "eDomoticz",
"server": "dewgew:[email protected]",
"port": "8080",

Check the first page of the thread, the bottom of the first post, you will see a section called Run in background. There you have two options depending on the version of raspbian you are using.

Hi guys, I am still experiencing problems with dimmer switches and Siri.

Few months ago I had problem with my LED controllers, now I have same problem with virtual dummy dimmer which opens an URL.

script_device_VU.lua:

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}
 if devicechanged['VU'] then
	print('Level : '..tonumber(otherdevices_svalues['VU']))
commandArray['OpenURL']="http://192.168.1.99/web/vol?set=set" .. otherdevices_svalues['VU']
end
return commandArray

If I manually change (with my fingers) the levels in the Home app, no problem it works.

Code: Select all

2017-03-23 23:12:12.423 User: Admin initiated a switch command (37/VU/Set Level)
2017-03-23 23:12:12.498 LUA: Level : 26

2017-03-23 23:12:12.498 EventSystem: Script event triggered: /home/xy/domoticz/scripts/lua/script_device_VU.lua

If I ask Siri to Set dimmer level example to 50%:

Code: Select all

2017-03-23 23:12:33.466 User: Admin initiated a switch command (37/VU/Set Level)

FIrst it is set the correct level 49, then immediately without any reasen it is switches to 0.

Same problem was with my LED controller. Very interesting.

[morilm]

Hi

I have the same wired issue happening. I update a switch with

commandArray['UpdateDevice']= persiana_idx..'|50|' ..value

I get value (dest) as fixed number to control the blinds (20, 50 or 80) so when I select a value in behind, I update it to the next value

persiana_idx = otherdevices_idx[tostring(next(devicechanged))]
dest = tonumber(otherdevices_svalues[next(devicechanged)]

if (dest >= 41 and dest < 71) then dest = 50 endif
commandArray['UpdateDevice']= persiana_idx..'|50|' ..dest

Change is ok and applied... but a few minutes, the value change to the real value...

We should have a ghost somewhere!!!!!

I'm having trouble to get the plugin active on boot. I have updated the systemd domoticz.service to boot homebridge after domoticz, but domoticz does not have enough time to get up and running.

I can manually restart homebridge and all works great, but I would love it if no manual intervention was needed.

Anybody have thoughts on this?
