Twinkly christmas lights python Script

[djdevil]

Hello I need help not knowing how to set up a script for domoticz for my twinkly led lights I found this that is compatible for home assistant and I managed to do it by directly connecting the execution on and off (see photo) I was looking for help on how to update the status of the device when I run this command!
Command of script

https://github.com/joshkay/home-assistant-twinkly

command_on: "python3 /config/python_scripts/twinkly.py TWINKLY_IP_HERE on"
command_off: "python3 /config/python_scripts/twinkly.py TWINKLY_IP_HERE off"
command_state: "python3 /config/python_scripts/twinkly.py TWINKLY_IP_HERE state"

when I run the state command I get 1 or 2 as a print
Then if anyone wants to develop a working plugin, thank you very much

Found your post looking to switch the miss' Twinkly lights in the tree.

To return the favor, is this what you are looking for?

Thank you djdevil, I was looking for switching twinkly from domoticz and got it working with the information you posted.
Hope someone can help with the status update, I guess is an event that runs the twinkly.py script every minute to get the status and updates the virtual switch

[djdevil]

i done it and all work well

Tutorial:

Code: Select all

# Twinkly Update Light
# Get the data
data=$(python3 /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/twinkly.py YOURIPTWINKLY state)
# Sort it
state=$(echo "$data")


# Load it into Domoticz
curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:80/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=YOURIDX&nvalue=${state}"
done

Save this like state.sh where you want and done permissions 775

In domoticz create dzevents script like this:

Code: Select all

 return {
        
    on = { timer = {"every 1 minutes"} },
    
	execute = function(domoticz, _)
		os.execute ("/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/state.sh")
	end		

}

let me know if it works well, so let's write a nice tutorial

I had a problem with the update of my Domoticz device. Every time I set the status of the device twinkly begins from start.
I did a quick and dirty bash script that I pull every minute with crontab:

*/1 * * * * root /home/scott/domoticz/scripts/twinkly.sh status >/dev/null 2>&1

The script twinkly.sh (change your Twinkly IP and Domoticz IDX of your virtual switch)

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash


case $1 in
on )
        /usr/bin/python3 /home/scott/domoticz/scripts/twinkly.py 192.168.178.136 on
;;
off )
        /usr/bin/python3 /home/scott/domoticz/scripts/twinkly.py 192.168.178.136 off
;;
status )

state_twinkly=$(/usr/bin/python3 /home/scott/domoticz/scripts/twinkly.py 192.168.178.136 state)
#echo "Status twinkly:  $state_twinkly"
state_domoticz=$(curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:8080/json.htm?type=devices&rid=35987" | jq .result[0].Status | sed 's/\"//g')
#echo "echo Domoticz $state_domoticz"

if [ "$state_domoticz" == "On" ]; then
        state_domoticz=1
else
        state_domoticz=0
fi
#echo "echo Domoticz new $state_domoticz"


if [ "$state_twinkly" == "$state_domoticz" ]; then
        exit 0;
else
        curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=35987&switchcmd=Toggle"
#       echo "Ändere Status"
fi

;;
esac

In Domoticz self I configure the Switch to trigger the same script:
Action on: "script://twinkly.sh on"
Action off: "script://twinkly.sh off"

If anybody have a question about it let me know or write pm. I hope everyone can use twinkly over Domoticz now
