homebridge-edomoticz Plugin

[michel30]

Hello,

I have the same question.

Everything works in domoticz elec , gas etc but how do I get it in the homekit.

It is the samenhing with temperature it is working in domoticz but it does not show in homekit.

The only thing that works is the light switch buttons.

thanks.

Have had it all running, but noticed a lot of restarts through PM2. My error log is filled with these entries:

Any ideas on where it is going wrong?

Nobody else having this issue? I have tried on both a RPi3 and Linux installation and the problem is the same on both. Node 8.9.3 (on Linux), Node 7.10.1 (on RPi3). MQTT.js is version 2.14.0 and Mosquitto is version 1.4.10

If I change MQTT to 0, problem stops. Given all the constant restarts, the Homekit functionality becomes unusable.

Hi All,

I have Milight Controllers and using them in Domoticz. Run homebridge so i can control the lamps in Homekit.
Also installed MQTT.

I find out that when i change things in homekit *swith, change color, dim) sometimes he MiLight controllers give a error.
Applamp Bridge error invalid Command or something like that. Then the controller is broken in Domoticz.

I have to restart domoticz to let everything work again. When i disable the use of MQTT then everything work great.
Except the fast change visibility in Homekit because of disabled MQTT

Does someone have a solution for this or help me how to find a solutions? It seems that MQTT send commands that gives problems to the MiLight controllers...

I map the security panel via homebridge to my iphone home / eve. In the security panel of domoticz, I see Disarm, Arm Home and Arm away. In the home-eve- security panel I see a 4. status (night). It would help me very much, if I could have the 4 status in Domoticz too. Is it possible to change the security panel in domoticz. Thanks.

[harrykausl]

Next question. Does anybody know, how to manage the home-Security-Panel via Siri. I did not succeed. Thanks.

Hello,

I'm playing with eDomotiz, trying to find out what I will be able to do with it. Seems very impressive!

I do have some questions:
- first, regarding switches. For instance, I have set up a virtual "Push On Button" and added it to my Homekit room (SwitchTypeVal: 9 in Domoticz). It does appear on my iPhone in Home application, but only as a standard switch, and I can turn it on or off like any other switch. I would really need to use it as a push button, which is off by default, and is turned on temporarily when I click on it. Is it possible?
- I have also set up virtual temp+humidity sensors, whose values are refreshed by a LUA script computing mean temperatures and humidity in my house. Everything seems OK in Domoticz, while I only have access to the temperature on my iPhone, humidity is missing. Is it normal?

Thanks for your help!

Hi did you solve this problem? Having the same issue. Also looking for double click etc.

Thanks

[theo69]

How do I change a generic Button to Push Switches - Domoticz SwitchTypeVal: 9 just dont get it...

[colaco]

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?

I also suggest you us a room ID!! Put all your wanted Devices in one room and use the roomid Number in config.

[islandman]

Would it be possible to add push button (selector Button) to the plug-in. Its supported by HomeKit. One example how they could behave are the Logitech Pop Button. I have the Aqara Button with click and double click, they behave basically the same.

Just a Idee.

[islandman]

witch device I have to choose in domoticz If I want to show the electric socket icon in Homeapp?

This would be great, having the same problem!

[Marci]

Domoticz’ JSON output for sockets and switches is identical - ie: SwitchTypeVal is always 0. The types and subtypes also do not change to reflect a difference between a switch and a socket. That is why homebridge-edomoticz cannot distinguish between a switch and a socket. So, at this time, other than using EVE app and reassigning the switches to a socket in there instead of using Home app, this is not going to change.

It’s not a matter of whether it’s supported by HomeKit, it’s a matter of whether Domoticz’ JSON output differentiates / is specific enough to uniquely identify the device type and it’s characteristics to match with the Apple HomeKit spec. See the first post of this thread for how to get the JSON output for a device. Only once that has been looked at can anyone say whether support for your pushbutton device can be added or not.

You have something already using port 51826 - this usually means you have two copies of homebridge running simultaneously iirc.

[GCB2016]

Hi everyone (marci?), is it possible to have a switch in Domoticz that tells you if Homebridge is running or not?

[poudenes]

Hi everyone (marci?), is it possible to have a switch in Domoticz that tells you if Homebridge is running or not?

You can create a bash script that check status of Homebridge and then update a TEXT Device
Or use Monit service
