Python Plugin: MoonPhases

[assenzuid]

Just updated to the latest beta (3.8890), will try it again.

Same result

[ycahome]

Cannot perform tests on Raspberry because all 3 raspis I own are productive.

I have cloned my Ubuntu based Domoticz (its nice to have VMware Virtualization) and upgraded to Beta V.3.8891.

Seems to work ok

[htilburgs]

After installing MoonPhases Plugin, Domoticz Crashes:

Domoticz v3.8889
Domoticz Log Entry:

Hi there again.

Your installation seems ok. I can't tell what exactly is causing this behavior.

You remind me some months ago that I personally faced the same behavior with another plugin.
Ended up to reinstall Domoticz and recreate database/sensors from scratch.

Don't get me wrong, am not saying that the plugin is correct and your installation is wrong. Just saying that didn't found any solution for "Domoticz received fatal signal 11 !..." error.

Do you have other plugins working?

Domoticz is fresh compiled because of the same Error with the buienradar plugin

Other plugins (pimonitor, batterylevel) work nice.
Think is an Python issue, but not sure

[aleph0]

Umm no... % cloud cover. [...] DarkSkies makes it available in their JSON feed but the current DarkSkies sensors for Domoticz don’t utilise it.

Hi ! I got the same need a few month ago, so I wrote a script for that. I shared it for you here viewtopic.php?f=61&t=22090

Excellent plugin - just what I was looking for - thanks @ycahome

Installed without drama to the current beta, once I'd fixed indentation errors from cutting and pasting the python script.

Now, the only problem is that all of the images are upside down!!

This may come as a surprise for those living in the Northern hemisphere, but here in Australia we see the moon the correct way up - the full moon looks more like a rabbit here - not at all the grinning old man of the Northern hemisphere.

For anyone else living south of the equator, I wrote a quick script to rotate the images and freshen the icons. Enjoy!

To fix the icons, I just had to uninstall the moon phases hardware entry; run the script to freshen the individual icon archives; replace the original zips in the plugins folder; restart domoticz; reinstall the plugin as hardware and reconfigure with my weather underground api key

Nice work.
can we detect the hemisphere somehow safely (I suppose that city and timezone are not a valid indication)? then we can select the iconset to install or even select icon to update device (too many devices will be added).

Yes - below is the wunderground json I get for Sydney and it has hemisphere as a subkey of moon_phase so it should be relatively simple. I'll change the script to create a separate set of icons with S in the name for the southern hemisphere that you can bundle up although one wrinkle is that the amount of rotation needed to make the image look right for the local latitude varies but let's not get carried away!!

. I'll change the script to create a separate set of icons with S in the name for the southern hemisphere that you can bundle up

Just upload or PM with the iconset.

Thanks

[fubar]

I have it working - needed some tweaks to plugin.py and new zips with the SH_ icons. Let me run it for a few days then I could post here or if you have a github repo how about a pull request?

[ycahome]

Pull request will be the most preferable way.

Changed the initial post after our discussion to point new users to GitHub!!

https://github.com/ycahome/MoonPhases

BTW: did you tried "Python plugin manager" plugin??????

Regards

[fubar]

Pull request submitted. Seems to be working for me...

I'll check out and try the python plugin manager - thanks for all your work!

[update] Installed the ppm and used it to setup the NUT device for my ups - worked perfectly. So far so good - nice work!

Been poking around domoticz custom image handling - have a headache from all that C code - but clearly, removing a plugin will involve removing all custom images both from the database and from the .../www/images/ cache too - I had all sorts of fun trying to replace already installed images, fighting brower caches and other ugly layers of complexity. Making new ones was much easier than replacing old ones!

I'm seeing strangeness in the debug log - only the new SH_ icons appear to be being loaded at start - I still haven't figured out why...

I got the widget to show the moon phase instead of a title - don't need to be reminded that it's the moon

moonphases_2.png (16.66 KiB) Viewed 2441 times

It's a brutal hack - change the Name every time but I'm not sure it matters - let me know if there's a better way?

Pull request updated.

[ycahome]

I don't see your modifications, are you sure that you checked all my comments?

[fubar]

For now it's working for me as I don't need any scripting for it. I've added some responses on the pull request.

To make it more generally useful I'll need some advice on how to achieve a decent looking dashboard widget without the current hack of changing the Name parameter - need a generic widget allowing more text to be displayed. I spent some time spelunking the documentation on typenames and their handling but gave up as it's confusing - it seems that the generic text device cannot have an updated icon which seems amazing to me while the custom device doesn't allow much customising of the text fields displayed...

I installed the plugin via Plugin Manager.

Thanks in advance,
Sascha

[fubar]

Works for me.
Debug logs may help - turn debug on in both ppmanager and moonphases hardware entries?
Both of those could be connection issues...but the debug log will give a lot more info including the weather underground url being called - it should show json with the appropriate local data in your browser if moonphases is configured correctly?

Weather underground, like most services, has occasional disturbances

[ycahome]

Seems that you are facing problems with MY plugins

Can you restart Domoticz, enable debug on "MoonPhases" and post your log in a code placeholder?

[brainpaincgn]

Hi ycahome,

Could you please tell me what a code placeholder is?

Thanks,
Sascha
