HomeHabit Dashboard - Updates

[boe666]

Can U send the defice type working witch thermostat module in HomeHabit ?

There is no one-to-one matching list of supported devices with Domoticz. Because many type/subtype values are brand specific, HomeHabit works by finding common values and determining type from that.
For thermostat mode specifically, HomeHabit internal structure is a selector with auto/heat/cool/off values. Since Domoticz does not have a common type for that, it is not possible to match.
I'm not sure why Domoticz does not use specific thermostat mode/state types, since it would be easy to support it then.

So if Homehabit cannot find the appropriate devices it should list all devices and let us users decide what the correct device is for eg Fan speed and heat/cool/dry mode etc
But Igor has problems in getting the correct devices from Domoticz and the value format for each device. I also already suggested to help by updating the wiki. But if no reaction from Igor I cannot help

In general, the app is very flexible in how devices can be mapped when data is processed - as long as there is something that uniquely identifies the type. Unless I'm missing something, there is nothing that identifies thermostat mode device specifically in API.

How do you communicate with Domoticz? With the http Json API? Which API functions do you use to get data?
I would be glad to help extending the API documentation.

It is not only issue of documentation, but also the API format itself. Type/Subtype/SwitchType are used in many different ways (and other boolean flags), that are not always match the real device. There are many devices that are not a dimmer, but return "HaveDimmer" as true, or SwitchType having contact sensor value or similar.

JSON API is used to get the data (not using websocket):
load data from "json.htm?type=devices&filter=all&used=true"
update data from "json.htm?type=devices&filter=all&used=true&lastupdate="

What specific thermostat types are ? I created switch selector as you mentioned, but it's not working (HH doesn't see that). If there exist in different systems specific type of thermostat state device - please put here this type.

In new version was a changes with dimmers ?
I use this for a blinds - and now it's work strange - i have no status o blinds - always is open - but working fine. Domoticz show percent fine, same as on-off reaction.

Hmm, there was no recent changes for Domoticz dimmers. Can you describe behavior in more details?

I have a mysensors node for blinds (my own sketch), it work as inverted blinds in domoticz. There is 2 buttons (close/open) and slider 0-100%. In domoticz it's work fine. In HomeHabit i have 2 widget for one blind. 1 - as button On/Off and 2 - as a slider (blind position). Since last update HH it worked fine, but now, when I push the button - the button turn to off, the slider go to 0% and after 2 seonds - button is on and slider is 100% and my blind closed - so HH report open blind , and the blind are close - so I cant open blind because HH heve information - blind are open. In domoticz buttons and sliders works fine.

Blinds:
In Beta Domoticz there are recent changes in blinds behavior due to MQTT Autodiscover function!

Thermostat devices.
@Igor, I send you my list of devices some time ago. In Domoticz they are stored as a selector switch: Type 244 subtype 62. Couldn't you find those?

I create device:
222|36|0001412E|1|Thermostat mode|1|244|62|18|0|12|255|0|0|2021-11-06 07:58:45|222|0.0|1.0|0.0|1.0|||0|0|0||LevelNames:T2ZmfExldmVsMXxMZXZlbDJ8TGV2ZWwz;SelectorStyle:MA==|

Type244, SType62, auto/cool/heat/off - selector. HH donesn't see this in Thermostat. HH see tis as scene only.
But i think not Type and Stype is mandatory for HH, the sValue is more important - I don;t know why...

Can you copy API response for that device using:

Code: Select all

/json.htm?type=devices&rid=[device_id]

In General,
widget Thermostat w HH, should be more flexible then simple multiselector auto/heat/cool/off, and in my opinion - is!.
Widget allows independent choice :
- FAN: it's like performance of Fan/pump/boiler - should accept slider (0-100%) or on/off button or selector like off/slow/fast
-HEAT/COOL : it's like mode but should accept selector switch OFF/HEAT/COOL/AUTO.

Every devices like airconditioning or boilers or heat pump have:
1. Working status (yes or no).
2. MODE (auto/cool/heat)
3. Performance (0-100% or binary selector like slow/normal/fast).

In my opinion this schema can handle every devices on the market.

[boe666]

There was a nice discussion for a moment.... is it possible for something to appear?

[waltervl]

For my selector switch for my Airco mode the Json is mentioned below.
Seems that I was wrong in device type.

See issue https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/issues/5017
There are also 2 new Blind types in Beta: Blind Percentage with Stop and inverted.

i can't connect to domoticz whit homehabit after update to 2023.1

[waltervl]

If you use accounts over http (not https) set switch "Allow Basic Authentication over plain HTTP" in menu Setup - Settings , tab Security.
Also wiki page security is a nice read. https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Security

Perfect !
working !
Now, 100% working

thx !!

Hello,
Since 2023.2, there are warning in the domoticz log each time I use the HomeHabit app:

Code: Select all

 2024-01-21 09:31:45.458 Status: [web:8080] Incoming connection from: 2a01:e0a:3fc:9820:ac12:4dbb:62b4:a8a
2024-01-21 09:31:53.179 [WebServer] Deprecated RType (devices) for API request. Handled via fallback (getdevices), please use correct API Command! (::1) 

I assume this is linked to the update of the JSON api which now requires a command argument (from Domoticz Wiki ):

For users using API calls from outside Domoticz there has been some changes in API calls. They now always should be of the form /json.htm?type=command&param=**command**

For example

Code: Select all

/json.htm?type=graph will be /json.htm?type=command&param=graph

/json.htm?type=devices will be /json.htm?type=command&param=getdevices

More info in Forum topic viewtopic.php?p=303581#p303581

The following old RType commands will keep working but will give a deprecation warning eg

Code: Select all

[WebServer] Deprecated RType (devices) for API request. Handled via fallback (getdevices), please use correct API Command! (IP nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn) 

Is there any update on the way to solve this?
For now it's still working so no big deal, but I assume in some time from now it won't be usable anymore?
