Doorbell default status in floorplan is “on” Topic is solved

[APDK66]

Hi,

I’m working with domoticz beta V3.9546 on a raspberry pi.
In a floorplan I have a kaku ac doorbell. The status in rest is “on” (in the settings I enabled the display values for switches”.)
When I push the doorbell icon I get an error message:”Error sending switch command. Check device/hardware !”
The log shows that the “off” command was send.
Under the tab switches the doorbell works correct.

Can I somehow correct this or is this a bug?

Hi,

A doorbell does not stop ringing as a response to an Off signal. When it receives an On signal it will ring once. To get it to ring again, you send another On signal. From the Switches tab you are not able to send an Off signal to a doorbell. But clicking the icon on the floorplan wants Domoticz to send an Off signal (the log is showing that) and that is not correct. In my opinion this is indeed a bug.

mrf68 thanks for your answer. Guess that I have to wait for a fix.
