Enable hardware with script or API

[rolandbreedveld]

Hi all

I sometimes have an issue with my P1 interface, I have to disable and enable the "P1 Smart Meter USB" hardware to make it work again.
I want to do this automatic from my (=self-made) monitor-script, if possible with a api-call, but can't find how to do this, only to create/delete hardware.
Does anybody know how?

regards, Roland

@rolandbreedveld, [Me being political correct ] I think it would be much more preferable if you can find the root cause of this problem and get that out of the way.

Unfortunately there seem to be no generic api-call to enable /disable hardware. The call varies per hardware type and other settings.
e.g. the call to disable my RFXcom is:

Code: Select all

http://DOMOTICZ_IP:DOMOTICZ_PORT/json.htm?type=command&param=updatehardware&htype=1&port=%2Fdev%2FttyUSB-RFtrx433&extra=&name=RFtrx433&enabled=false&idx=3&datatimeout=0&Mode1=0&Mode2=11&Mode3=0&Mode4=44&Mode5=46&Mode6=64

and the call to diable my P1 link is:

Code: Select all

http://DOMOTICZ_IP:DOMOTICZ_PORT/json.htm?type=command&param=updatehardware&htype=4&port=%2Fdev%2FttyUSB-P1&extra=&name=P1&enabled=false&idx=6&datatimeout=0&Mode1=1&Mode2=0&Mode3=0&Mode4=0&Mode5=0&Mode6=0

only sending

Code: Select all

http://DOMOTICZ_IP:DOMOTICZ_PORT/json.htm?type=command&param=updatehardware&enabled=false&idx=3

does result in an {"status": "ERR"} return

you can find the api-call for your domoticz system by entering developer mode ( [CTRL][SHIFT]I in chrome) and there choose network when accessing the hardware tab in domoticz and disable / enable the hardware you are looking for. In the developer window you will see the json domoticz uses to perform the requested action.

@rolandbreedveld I have the same problem. Once in a while the P1 stops working and disabling/ enabling the hardware solves the problem.
Can you share your script you are using to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

@HansieNL

solution is simple, set in the P1 hardware, the timeout at 15 minutes, this will restart the P1 service if dead.

@rolandbreedveld Thanks. Didn't think about that solution. Sometimes things can be that simple

How to enable device ?
I'm able to disable but not enable:

Code: Select all

wget -q -O - "http://192.168.1.11:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=updatehardware&htype=41&name=MySensorsKinowaNano&enabled=false&
idx=2"
{
   "status" : "OK",
   "title" : "UpdateHardware"
}

wget -q -O - "http://192.168.1.11:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=updatehardware&htype=41&name=MySensorsKinowaNano&enabled=true&i
dx=2"
{
   "status" : "ERR"
}

On my system I to add &port=%2Fdev%2FttyUSB-RFtrx433 to the http to get it working for my RFtrx433 device.

It works. Thanks a lot:

Code: Select all

wget -q -O - "http://192.168.1.11:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=updatehardware&htype=41&name=MySensorsKinowaNano&enabled=true&i
dx=2&port=/dev/ttyUSB0"
{
   "status" : "OK",
   "title" : "UpdateHardware"
}

I've got the same problem. During disable/enable the hardware is not available. I noticed that just "update" the hardware (with no changes, just press the update button) also fixes the problem, the hardware is still available. In my case Aeon Labs Aeotec Gen 5, one of the nodes seems lost the connection (Heal Node does not work). During the update all other nodes are still available.
So i prefer an update.
Is it possible to call update from commandline (script) ?
It would be perfect to test the nodes first, and only call the update if one of the devices are not ok

thanks
