Searched through the posts here, but it looks like this can't be installed on Synology D413j (armv5).

Searched through the posts here, but it looks like this can't be installed on Synology D413j (armv5).

are you on DSM5 ? then use(not my latest but should work):

https://e-nef.com/domoticz/mdah/node-my ... 0.1.56.spk

If you have only node in v1.0 this will not work till synology does a node version for you.

Hello

I've tried to install Mdah for a DS212.
Due to request to install nodejs-V4( not available for DS212), I install Mdah on a PI 2 as a gateway for Dz installed on the DS212.
Does a DS212 version of Mdah exist ?


A DZ (test version) with several devices is installed on the PI, besides Mdah.
With Mdah i've only access to the PI's devices and not to the DS212's devices managed by DZ on the DS212.

in the log I found this

Code: Select all

{"level":"warn","message":"basic configuration not found in /etc/mydomoathome/config.json, defaulting","timestamp":"2017-10-05T20:47:26.371Z"}
{"level":"warn","message":"domoticz access configuration not found in /etc/mydomoathome/config.json, defaulting","timestamp":"2017-10-05T20:47:26.431Z"}
{"level":"info","message":"Domoticz server: http://127.0.0.1:8080/json.htm","timestamp":"2017-10-05T20:47:26.589Z"}

in config.json the configuration is that one

Code: Select all

"app_name": "MyDomoAtHome",
   "auth": null,
   "domoticz": {
        "ssl": false,
        "host": "192.168.1.xx",
        "port": "8084",
        "path": "/",
        "auth": null,
   },
  "port": 3002,
  "passcode": " "
}

I understand that Mdah for whatever reason is unable to read the config.json file and uses default parameter (localhost = Pi) and therefore the Pi's devices.

How to solve this issue ?
for me it's not a login isssue, Mdah simply do not use my config.json file located in /etc/mydomoathome
Where to start to solve this?

Thanks for your help.
Regards

I can make one, but I can't verify the node version you have, and only a version >=0.12 works...

check that /etc/mydomoathome is readable by the user is is launched as ( do a 'ps aux|grep node' ), same for config.json

Hello

Thanks for your answer
for DS212, unfortunatly I use V0.10, so it won't work.

The result of 'ps aux | grep node'

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi:~$ ps aux|grep node

[epierre]

I would say do a :
chmod a+rx /etc/mydomoathome
chmod a+rx /etc/mydomoathome/config.json

[Ady92100]

I did it. I still have the same problem.

yes, no comma before a closing parenthesis

"auth": null, => "auth": null

[epierre]

Hi All,

In the latest version you have support for Farenheight temperature ( imperial mesure, not international).

[febalci]

Version 0.2.27 gives referenceerror: tempmode not defined; and exits in synology package. Couldnt started it.

[Ady92100]

Hello epierre

Thanks for the explanation, it works now
My config.json was a copy of the "easydomoticz" https://easydomoticz.com/imperihome-no ... on-nodejs/ post. I will send a request for improvement to patrice.
Thanks

[epierre]

@febalci strange, latest is 0.2.29 and without the tag it work here.

try adding
"tempmode": "C",

just after app_name in /etc/mydomoathome/config.json

[febalci]

Hmm, where can i find config.json in a synology package install? /etc/mydomoathome folder doesn't exist.

[jumbotroll]

Hmm, where can i find config.json in a synology package install? /etc/mydomoathome folder doesn't exist.

Maybe /var/packages/MyDomoAtHome/etc

[epierre]

Hello,

just manually installed 0.2.29 opn my DS216j without any issue.

in case you have an issue, access your synology as admin, create /etc/mydomoathome and in it a config.json just as in the config.json section in:

https://github.com/empierre/MyDomoAtHome

or try as @jumbotroll said

[epierre]

tried this one unsuccessfully: /var/packages/MyDomoAtHome/etc

this one works:
access your synology as admin, sudo to create /etc/mydomoathome and in it a config.json

[febalci]

Thanks epierre, that solved the problem.

[epierre]

@febalci which synology version are you running on ? on my DSM6 on DS216j I did not had the issue.

looking back

Version 0.2.27 gives referenceerror: tempmode not defined; and exits in synology package. Couldnt started it.

looks more a 0.2.27 version issue, you should move to 0.2.29

[febalci]

I was already moved to 0.2.29. Had same problem again. Then uninstalled mydomoathome.spk and reinstalled it. Same problem. Didnot had any problem with 0.2.26. creating the folder and config.json solved it. Synology DS916+ with latest 6.2 dsm.
