Is it possible to send message when domoticz started?

[Mixanoid]

Sometimes we have problems on power line. I cannot see when the line is down (domoticz does not work without electricity) but can I receive the message when domoticz turns on?

You could use a cron job for that, or alter the init.d script.

I use this dzVents script to notify when domoticz has been started.

Code: Select all

--[[
    active when function returns true ( domoticz started less then 180 seconds ago )  
    
    The defined tasks will only execute once after domoticz started.
    Please note that in theory this is not a failsafe way of handling this. 
    
    If domoticz crashes / is stopped after the first excution of this script and before 120 seconds after 
    it started, the Executed value is not set back to 0 and the script needs to be reloaded to reset the persistent data.
    
    If domoticz starts extremely slow, in theory it could be that this script will not be evaluated before the 180 seconds 
    after startup has passed. On my test system (PI-3), first execution is well within that window. (somewhere between 13 and 60 seconds)
    
 ]]-- 
 
 
return {
    active = function(domoticz)
              return domoticz.startTime.secondsAgo < 180
            end,
    
    on         = {      timer     = { 'every minute'  } },
    
    data     = {     Executed     = { initial = 0 } },
    
    
            
    execute = function(dz)
        if dz.data.Executed == 0 then
            dz.notify("Domoticz has just been started")                                     
        else
            print ("Älready executed; " .. tostring(dz.data.Executed) .. " seconds after domoticz started.")
            if dz.startTime.secondsAgo > 119 then
                dz.data.Executed = 0
            end    
        end            
    end
}

I use Monit for it with pushover, but I also like very much @waaren solution.

            dz.notify("Domoticz has just been started") 
            dz.data.Executed = dz.startTime.secondsAgo                                    
        else
            print ("Allready executed; " .. tostring(dz.data.Executed) .. " seconds after domoticz started.")
            if dz.startTime.secondsAgo > 119 then
                dz.data.Executed = 0
            end    
        end            
    end
}

I use this script but got up to 3 notifications after a restart of Domoticz. 1 is enough
So I added the line

Code: Select all

dz.data.Executed = dz.startTime.secondsAgo

after dz.notify("Domoticz has just been started") and now I get only 1 notification.

I use this dzVents script to notify when domoticz has been started....

This script was posted a long time ago. dzVents evolved since then ...
You can now do

Code: Select all

-- system triggers available in dzVents >= 3.0.0 (domoticz V4 build 11687) 
return 
{
    on = 
    {
        system = 
        {
            'start',
        },
    },

    logging = 
    {
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
        marker = 'startup tasks' 
    },

    execute = function(dz)
        dz.notify("Domoticz has just been started") 
    end
}
