Problem with selector with buttons

[bregelius]

Hi everybody,

i have a problem when trying to add a switch which has a button set or a selection menu with buttons. When i place a dimmer there is no problem, but if i change the switch to a "selector" i obtain at dashticz a text string instead of the buttons. For example, in the attached image , that switch is a selector with buttons (OFF, Low, Medium, High) and what i`m obtaining at dashticz is a text string, only one... I have been searching a lot in the forum, but i didn`t find a similar problem. Can anybody can help me? I have attached two pictures (one with dashticz's problem and one with original switch as shown and fully working with domoticz)

Thnx in advance

Can you clean your browser cache and try latest Dashticz beta?
Problem should then be solved.

Thank you for your answer... i have tried that solution, with different browsers even a different computer (i’m using domoticz for windows) and still no solution.....

I have the same problem occurring. But I don't think the problem is specific to Dashticz. The same thing happens when looking at the switches in Domotix or Pilot on my iPhone . Only the Domoticz app shows the selector switches correct. Also see viewtopic.php?f=6&t=24181

So probably something is changed in how the values are passed on and the Dashticz/Domotix/Pilot need to be updated.

I think you are right.... after reading your comment, i downgraded to a previous version of domoticz (in other computer which is not running the domo server) and BINGO, buttons appeared in Dashticz where before i had a text string.... so it seems to be a "problem" of Domoticz as you said.

I have the exact same problem. Been searching for hours on the forum! Will try to change to an other version of Domoticz...

This is due to a change in the domoticz api. See my previous post about it:

I just changed js/version.js

from

Code: Select all

var levelNamesEncodeVersion = '3.9476'; /* Domoticz version above this, level names are encoded *

To:

Code: Select all

var levelNamesEncodeVersion = '3.7476'; /* Domoticz version above this, level names are encoded *

and it worked. 3.7.476 is arbitrary. It only has to be lower as your current version of Domoticz.

I was running Domoticz version 3.9464 so it seems that the versioning was a little off.

Hi Ierlandfan,
i was searching for the named fiel in the dashticz folder and couldn´t find the line to change.
Were is the file located? and where should be normally the line be?

thank You

ok,
i´ve found the Solution.
As the api sends base64 encoded string this must be decoded in dashticz.

Are you using the beta version of Dashticz? It should be solved from beta 2.3.11 onwards.
The master version doesn't contain the fix yet.

I am using Domoticz Version: 4.10362
and I think the latest Dashticz (on load I see v2 and i did a git pull in my dashticz directory which updated 3 files)

I still have this problem with a selector that I see and base64 hash instead of the selectors. Is there any fix?

You can check whether you are indeed using the beta branch of Dashticz, and not the master branch, in two ways:
* look in [dashticz folder]/version.txt
* Click on the settings icon in the Dashticz top bar, then on the info tab. It shows the Dashticz version.

I am using version V2.3.3
Should things work with this version or do I need the beta? And if so, how do I upgrade to the beta

You need the beta.
For upgrading it's best to install the beta version in a new folder and then copy your custom/CONFIG.js from your current Dashticz to the new one.

Most things are explained in the wiki:

Probably you have to make some additional changes to your CONFIG.js. For instance the fontawesome icon names have changed: you have to put far or fas in front of the icon names.
