Installing Domoticz on PI4 b Use Putty, usb, or SD?

[JimDome]

I am designing a home load management system using PI4 b, Zooz zwave plus, and Aeotec smart switch.

Watched videos on installation and:
1. Installed Rasbian via SD card
2. Connected PI to linksys ethernet router and it assigned an IP address
3. Downloaded Putty 64 bit .073 to my win 10 64bit computer
4. Started Putty and in Session window, host name (IP address) used the PI ip address, then tried the router IP address. Error for PI IP: remote side unexpectedly closed this connection, network error con timed out. In both cases there appeared a blank command line window. The Putty docs talked about linking to a server. My Pi is not a server correct?
5. Copied domoticz_linux.... to a usb stick and saw the files from the stick. Tried to extract them and got lost over and over again.

Please Help

You forgot the SSH file.
Without it, SSH is disabled by default.

Have a look at this:

Thanks for the feedback.

I did use a SSH file with no extension. I have made some progress. Configured the wifi 5g connection (internet connected) and downloaded and started Domoticz from the command in the "terminal" using: curl -L https://install.domoticz.com. I have a RPi monitor and ist showed the progress of the installation. No problems that I can see.

My router said that it was at 192.186.0.16. I sent >tracert 192.168.0.16 and it confirmed:

Tracing route to raspberrypi.mediacom.info [192.168.0.16]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 2 ms 1 ms 2 ms raspberrypi.mediacom.info [192.168.0.16]

Trace complete.

I confirmed the ip address with the Pi terminal. The inet matched the ip address but the router mac was 76:da:88:6f:94:23 and the RPi was "ether dc:a6:32:6f:94:23" which I expected to match.

charging on, I set my laptop browser to http://192.168.0.16:8080 and it replied:
This site can’t be reached 192.168.0.16 refused to connect.
I understand that i need this connection before I start my "Getting Started" process.

I am new and struggling but dedicated to my Home Load Management prototype.

Thanks
Jim

Is that

Http://192.168.0.16:8080
Or
Https://192.168.0.16

Wait, is Domoticz even running?
Could you check the Domoticz service status?

[JimDome]

Thanks

You want me to see if Domoticz is running but i am unclear on how to do that. The best I can figure out is that you want me to install Domoticz plug in manager correct?

I expected to enter a command on the Terminal screen.

Thanks
Jim

went a little further and tried to change directories to domonicz; domoticz/plugins pp-manager. and all failed.
will try to load domoticz again.

I entered the following in the terminal window:
curl -L https://install.domoticz.com

Response:
bash: curl: command not found

is this a syntax issue?

Thanks
Jim

Hi Jim,

Try to follow the guide I sent you earlier.
It will show you step by step how to get Domoticz up and running, including the proper commands and screenshots.

Another way is to read up on the official Domoticz wiki, there is a lot of information about this topic on that wiki.

I have rasbian and putty working and onto the configuration. I understand the location options but need help on setting a fixed IP address.

I searched raspberry .org and could not get a definitive answer. On network options (config tool), i think i should choose HTTP proxy and secure a free ip proxy address.

Is this correct?

Thanks for your patience.

Stay safe

on setting a static ip address on the pi

https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/q ... p-using-wi

my preference is to leave the pi alone and tell your router to assign the same IP address to the pi. all routers have an option like that, google it or your router.

on installing Domoticz

the command is 'curl -sSL install.domoticz.com | sudo bash' found here https://www.domoticz.com/downloads/

if curl comes backas invalid command, try the full path /usr/bin/curl

Thanks Rob

I got domoticz window up on my browser and was very excited. One fo the install windows indicated that it has a fixed ip address and so I assumed that the staic ip was satisfied. I was trying to find the Zooz Ztstick S2 plus and it did not show up.

I read the documentation and it said that the device will show up in the linux kernal as "/dev/ttyACMxx". Checked the domo wiki and utube but Not sure what to do with that so I thought I might try cycling power on Ras.

recycled power and again went to my browser and set ip :8080 and it said that it was connecting but displayed /#/Offline in the url after the address.

Then i entered the address into putty and signed on to raspi. it signed on properly but I did not get my domoticz.

I am reaching out to the Zooz for help on how to recognize this zwave bridge in domoticz.

Recommendations?

Thanks
