Thanks
Why it is not supported native in Dz? It is a must in a programming language!

[ebretteville]

Yes, true, especially if you wan't to build a software thermostat and you need to make average and mathematical operations.

[StasDemydiuk]

Math operators should became available by default in this PR (https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/pull/2857)

[dziadzi]

I still don't see Math operations in Blockly after update. My current version is Beta version: 4.10317 Build Hash: 2ccf9db7 Compile Date: 2019-01-05 15:54:06

[domoticzag1]

Bump! would also love to see this functionality in blockly!

[salopette]

not with me either

[microchip1974]

please add math operations in blockly by default!

[Pegozz]

Please add math operations in block programming.
additions, subtractions and hysteresis with the result insertion in a variable or counter cell, would be a good starting point.

[salopette]

Please! Please! Please!

Maybe it is not cool to use Blockly...

I'm a new to Domoticz and I just want to quit because the standard function of Domoticz was not great and I haven't got the time to learn a scripting language.
Then I found out there was Blockly , easy and fast to use.
So I sticked with Domoticz

I think if blocky was more power, more users will come.

[salopette]

bei Iobroker people mainly use Blockly!
And that's really cool!

@ Gizmocuz

I'm also eager getting natively within domoticz for people who are not friendly with lua coding ! What about adding this ?

[Patricen]

hello @ebretteville,

I tried adding toolbox.xml and eventsframe.xml in www folder but it looks like I've missed something. Can you please guide me through the setup procedure?

Thanks a lot!

[Alain]

I've added toolbox.xml and eventsframe.html to the www folder, restarted Domoticz and cleared browser cache, but not seeing anything show up. I would love to see Math functions too. I'm wanting to control devices by temperature setpoints. Even the big name building automation systems like Johnson Controls, Trend, Sauter, etc use function blocks to write software. They don't program in scripts.

[mjray]

I was looking for the math blocks to do some simple maths with temperatures too, so I found this discussion.

It looks from the end of https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/issues/3724 that this is stuck because Domoticz needs code added to support the maths blocks. I think it might be to translate the math blocks into some scripting language. I'm not sure why that's needed because I thought Blockly already had translations for the core blocks like Math into Lua and Python which Domoticz can be scripted in, so I wonder if Domoticz is using Blockly to generate dzVents, but that seems like a lot of hard work and I'm not sure what benefit it would give.

Anyway, a naïve attempt to replace the blockly folder with a copy of the latest version of blockly fails messily, so I think we have to wait for the core devs to upgrade it.

i want to do this
i do not have math on blocky.
if i gone change that xml file, i gone lose device TAB, etc
any ideea ?

[waltervl]

Math in blocky is not supported. Is too difficult to implement. If you need math switch over to dzvents scripting.

[ssk17051980]

i do not know dzvents
