homebridge-edomoticz Plugin

[simon_rb]

I am up to my 100 devices exposed to HomeKit using eDomoticz, I assume I can run a new bridge and run two eDomoticz on the same raspberry pi. Do I just add another instance within the config file? Didn't want to chance it without asking just in case I break it..

After reboot my iphone does not find homebridge (homebridge is running without error. When reinstalling homebridge-edomotics I am getting:

[frizby66]

Anyone having issues with Domoticz / eDomotics / Homebridge use with Nest?

If I make changes within Domoticz to the temp then there are no issues. If I make the change within Homekit I get multiple inputs showing in the log and Domoticz becomes very slow for a period of time. Have other devices on Homekit via eDomoticz and no issues with them (light switches).

From what I see it looks like a simple warning to see some of the npm stuff has been updated.... might be time to backup you data and then update your system.

Since I could not find anything on this forum about this new announcement from Apple I decided to share this with you.

During the “What’s new in HomeKit” session developers were told that HomeKit smart devices—that had previously had to go through extensive testing and include a special cryptographic chip for authentication — can now use software based authentication, and be self-certified. You can in fact now even build your HomeKit devices out of an Arduino, or a Raspberry Pi.

Of course you could sort of do that before using something called HomeBridge—a lightweight NodeJS server you can run on your home network that emulates the iOS HomeKit API—as it’s pretty easy to get HomeBridge running on the Raspberry Pi.

What’s different now is that, amongst other things, you don’t have to fear a DMCA take down notice from Apple.
But also that your microcontroller-based HomeKit device can talk directly to your phone, without going through a bridge.

I'm abroad without my Pi for a while but please let me know your findings in case you are planning to try this out!

Hi all,
I am having trouble with scenes in the Home and Eve apps.

If I run a scene for example "Good Night" which in turn throws a switch in Domoticz, that is fine but if I try and run it again it does not respond. The only way to make it respond is to go into the Home app and toggle the scene to "Off".

Has anyone seen this behaviour?

TIA

Hi,
I've added a few Mi-Lights to my domoticz. These are rgb+cct bulbs. I also have a few rgb strip controllers.

These appear as the same type of switch in domoticz, but when I add them to homebridge, I can't change the colour/temperature of the rgb+cct bulb but it's available for the rgb strips (through HomeKit).

Any idea why HomeKit/homebridge isn't giving me that option with the rgb+cct bulbs?

Thanks.

I've the same problem with mi-light rgbww bulbs and no idea..

I had the same problem.
Basically homebride doesn't recognised Domoticz Scenes. So obviously the workaround is to create a dummy switch that triggers the scene. So because these are switches, they either stay on or off. Homekit doesn't work with push on switches either. The way to get it to function, is to set an off delay on the switch. That way, afer you use it to trigger the scene, it will turn itself off shortly afterwards. Allowing you to reuse it later.

Thanks for the reply, my problem is slightly different.

I do indeed have dummy switches so that homebridge can switch those and then Domoticz will run the scene. Let me clarify:

I have a door lock in Domoticz for example. I have a dummy switch called 'Door' that when turned on will unlock the door and then the switch turns off.
I create a scene in the Home app called 'Unlock the front door' which turns the Door switch on and yes, the door unlocks correctly. But when I issue the Unlock command to Siri for a second time nothing happens because in the Home app (or Elgato Eve app) the scene is already on. I think it happened with an iOS update as it used to be fine. i just can't remember when exactly it stopped working.
The problem appears to be in the Home app as if you look at the scenes section in there you can click a scene and it switches on and you can click it again and it switches off.

Hope that makes sense.

My switches stopped working with homebridge,
The sensors and other stuff are ok
The switches are working in domoticz
How to solve this?

Thanks
Edwin

[friso]

Just another big thank you for all the work: following your clear instructions (made extra easy by providing all the commands) I managed to get HomeKit connected to my Homebridge. Almost magic when all my Domoticz devices are showing up in the Home app!

Using a 2b booting from a 16Gb usb stick.

Thanks!

Dear all:

I'm trying to add homebridge-edomoticz to my domoticz server following the wiki tutorial. But when I finished it and launch the homebridge, it got an error as the following and the homebridge cannot work.

Hello there,
I just finished the installation of Homebridge and eDomoticz plugin. Everything works fine so far. The only thing is that all of my Somfy blinds are shown up as switches. Not a big deal, but still annoying.
I just followed the official tutorial and installed node.js 8
Also, the actual "blind switches" are inverted. I need to ask "Open..." to actually close the blinds...
Thanks a lot

After installing the 2.0.0 version of Homebridge-eDomoticz I get this error message. I've cleaned the persist and accessories folder.

I have also tried to load an empty room in config.json without any Domoticz accessories configured, but still get the same message.

Note: I downgraded to version 1.0.15, which is working fine.

[mcmikev]

I updated totday to latest version but after a reboot there are no accessoires loaded. Went back to old version and works. Was version 2.0 I think

[martijnm]

Have tested 2.0.3 as well. Now Homebridge is running as usual, but devices are not working in Home.app.

Have (again) cleaned the persist and accessories folder and removed my house in Home.app. After re-adding Homebridge, all devices are unresponsive.

[mcmikev]

Just upgraded to 2.0.4 and still no domoticz accesoires are loaded.

Just upgraded to version 2.0.6, all things are back to normal. I did have to remove the persist and accessories folder contents. Also I have removed my house and added it as a new house in Home.app.



Thanks guys!
