Great plugin. Installed and works :-). Do get a bunch of error messages which I posed as a bug on Github.

ok, thanks.

To be clear:
The plugin is working correctly, you only see some unexpected messages in the Domoticz log?

Do you see any problem with the functionality?

Thanks! Just needed this. I followed the instructions, however I cant see " Slide" . in the hardware list. What name should I look for (Slide I suppose)?

The hardware name is 'Slide by Innovation in Motion'.
Did you restart Domoticz?

Is Python installed? Domoticz reports the Python version in the ''Settings'->about' window.

You might have to set the right access permissions for the folder and for plugin.py

What kind of system are you using?

Fixed the Python issue, and my Slides are showing! Great!

Would be great if you could integrate the Zones as well. I am using my Slides in one zone, which would be great to control as well.

Good!

You can create groups in Domoticz.

I could create dummy devices for each slide zone.
Or create the group in Domoticz automatically.
I'll add it to the feature request list.

Thanks, I am trying hard to setup a switch to control my slides. I do have made a Dummy switch, and by Blocky events this switch controls the Slides in the zone.

However, I don't know how to setup this dummy switch to be controlled by my Zwave wall switch,

With a group I cant get it to work either. The slides are controlled by percentages, so a group will only switch to 0 or 100, I cant get it to work to open and close it by a group. And thus, with 1 switch I can only Open or Close my curtains. Still thinking about a way to use 1 button to Open and Close the curtains....

So far only the messages in the log. I did run into another issue that I need to investigate: I added all the devices in a group in order to switch them all at once. That crashed Domoticz... Anyways, I'll investigate and get back on that.

Great to have the plugin though!

I think I experienced that crash too ;)

By now I have a working setup, a bit complicated, but working.

Zwave switch -> Zwave plug -> Event triggered by plug -> Individual slides.

Happy as can be, with my built in wall switch I can control my curtains :D

There seems to be a bug in Domoticz in handling the disconnect of the https connections.

As a partial patch(?) I've increased the polling rate to once per 40 seconds in the latest version. Hopefully this keeps the connection alive.

In one of the Domoticz commits I see a report of the error in combination with zwave. There might be a relation.

I have 4 slides in one Domoticz group without issues.

Thanks Lokonli, works great!

For others: I had to do

Code: Select all

sudo apt install libpython3-dev
and then restart domoticz.
Some day, in Domoticz, an other icon for curtains instead of blinds would be nice.

And using an API key instead of login/password would be nice. Not sure if Slide supports this.

Thanks for the feedback!
I'll add this to the installation instructions.

Hello packetloss can you explain which problem was solved by installing libpython3-dev? I`m trying to use the Python plugin on my Synology NAS but I can`t get it to work. My Synology NAS doesn`t have this pyhton module installed.

@Lokonli: Would you be so kind to explain why this dev python module is needed and would it be possible to create a python version of Slide which wouldn`t need this dev python module?

It's not needed for my plugin, but for the Domoticz plugin system in general.

Is python detected by Domoticz? Domoticz reports the python version in Settings->About.
If not: did you install the correct Domoticz version on your Synology?
See http://www.jadahl.com/
Install a version including Python

Yes Domotics recognize Python:

Code: Select all

PluginSystem: Started, Python version '3.5.1'.
Which is the version I have activited in the package manager and from Jadahl I have donloaded the Pyhton version.

As soon as I instruct Domoticz to enable new sensors for 5 minutes the following erro message appears in the log file:

Code: Select all

PluginList: Parsing '/usr/local/domoticz/var/plugins/slide-domoticz/', 'Error document empty.' at line 0 column 0 in XML ''.
plugin.py file in this folder has all the required rights...

I have no experience with Synology...

Maybe try the following:
On the hardware configurarion page set the debug info to all.
Then enable the hardware, without allowing new devices.
In the log file filter 'slide'. Do you see any result?

(I assume you filled in your email and password on the slide hardware configuration page)
