For me it's not working. No devices are created.

If i understand the code correctly everything with a level below 255% should result in a device being created, but in my case it thinks all devices, including the battery reported devices report 255. I checked.... This URL gives (http://localhost:80/json.htm?type=comma ... vels&idx=9) gives the same output (all devices, including the battery powered devices give a value of 255)

Let it run for hours or day (the instructions call for your patience... devices need to communicate their battery levels so at the plugin gets these). Please report then

yep that was it... running ok now

I did notice a small security issue:
- The password is logged to the logfile when debug is on
- The password is also stored unencrypted in the database

Not a big thing, cause normally someone will not have access to the database or the log. But still better not to store unencrypted passwords anywhere..

Good points.
I will address the first issue (logging) in a new release.
I think the second one is part of the python plugins framework implementation, so not within the scope of the plugin.
Thanks

Problem solved, need to fill in username and password

I set as IP 127.0.0.1 and put this address in the trusted ip of domoticz settings. In this way it works without password.

Discovered this brilliant plugin yesterday, worked out of the box.

My setup consists of a RPi with Domoticz and the ZwaveController installed doing all the actual zwave commands etc and updates my second Domoticz server which is a Ubuntu VM. This Ubuntu VM is my "main" Domoticz server where all my logic is configured and all switches/actions are defined and used. All new devices from the RPi Domoticz is synced to this one, except a limitation when it comes to Python plugin devices.
What I am looking to do is read the status from all the BatteryMonitor devices createad by the BatteryPlugin and update dummy devices on my main Domoticz server respectively. I get the status from the devices by running curl command from my main Domoticz server command line and get all the expected data.
I am not expecting anyone to jump on an help me out with a finished script, I have been searching the forums and read the WIKI but I would like some help to start out. A lua script (or whatever) that reads all the data from the devices on the one Rpi Domoticz sever and creates/updates a dummy switch which look excatly the same as on the Rpi Domoticz, battery icon (full, low, empty etc), percentage level on battery etc. And I want it to only be updated when theres is a change in battery-level on the source side (the Rpi Domoticz side). I have installed the same custom icons on the main Domoticz server also.
I must admit, I am not able to create such a script from scratch, but able to read an existing one and make changes that suits my need. But it would be great get a place to start..

Thanks

Thanks for your appreciation.
If you are using domoticz version above 4.11253 and therefore plugin version 0.6.0, you can run the plugin on your « main » domoticz (configure IP / Port / password as needed) to get the data from your « remote » domoticz. Then no need for device replication.
Hope this helps.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. I noticed that I had more input on the latest plugin version. That could be a way to go. If I have understood it correctly the version above 4.10717 is considered beta? Do you happen to have some insight in how stable this release is?

Thanks again

Regards

Hello,
I installed the plugin but I don't see it.
I do not understand.





can you help me please ?

Hi, try to restart domoticz and post the initial log, so we can check what's wont load.

@vulbas,

Looks the plugin is loading... give it some time (could be hours) to create the child devices, or run in debug mode to see that it works in details.

Did you try to clear your browser cache (see instructions in many posts on the forum) ? May be this is why the hardware page does not show it...

[Solderbro]

Short question.

Where to get the latest version for Domoticz Stable? My install seems to have some trouble and the archive is lost.

It is on the github repo for the plugin. The file is called ‘ plugin legacy OZW 1.4 version.py ‘ and needs to be renamed to ’ plugin.py ‘ manually

Hi,

After the update to 4.11777 which contains an updated OpenZWave library I get the following error on the Z-wave battery monitor plugin.

2020-03-08 01:07:13.535 Error: (Z-wave battery monitor) Error calling 'http://Localhost:8080/json.htm?type=com ... vels&idx=5'

Is this a Domoticz bug or should the Z-wave battery monitor get an update?

Thanks

[waaren]

2020-03-08 01:07:13.535 Error: (Z-wave battery monitor) Error calling

http://Localhost:8080/json.htm?type=com ... vels&idx=5

Probably not completely comparable because I compile locally and on a Intel NUC(Debian buster) but on the same application versions.

domoticz V4.11777
zWave Version: 1.6-1004-g71220f43
Python Version: 3.7.3

and I don't see this error.

Hello,
Nothing is displayed after two hours in Setup > Devices ...
Log: loop with pushing,processing,calling messages

Questions:
1. Shall we also set the X permission for the 'plugin legacy OZW 1.4 version.py' file ?
2. Shall we change localhost for the real IP address ?
3. The plugin folder owner is root: shall we change for the username ?
