Question about notifications in dzVents

[waltervl]

If you replace that by the line below it should do the trick.

Code: Select all

dz.openURL('https://api.telegram.org/botXXX:XXXX/sendMessage?chat_id=XXXXX&text=' .. message)

[Xavier82]

When using the code

Code: Select all

dz.openURL('https://api.telegram.org/botXXXX:XXXX/sendMessage?chat_id=XXXX&text=' .. message)

I get this status:

I changed the XXX by the corresponding botnumber/API and chatID....
Nothing is being sent to Telegram.

[waltervl]

I suppose the variable message is incorrectly formatted so dzVents or the API is ignoring the message.
Try to make a simple testmessage in the script eg

Code: Select all

local testmessage = 'Mijn TEST Energie Overzicht : ' .. os.date("%d-%m-%Y")
dz.openURL('https://api.telegram.org/botXXXX:XXXX/sendMessage?chat_id=XXXX&text=' .. testmessage)

if this works add the .. '\n second line' (for new line) eg

Code: Select all

local testmessage = 'Mijn TEST Energie Overzicht : ' .. os.date("%d-%m-%Y") .. '\n tweede lijn'

Edit: fixed typo's

[Xavier82]

I get this

Code: Select all

2023-01-05 14:12:35.976 Error: dzVents: Error: (3.1.8) error loading module 'Dag verbruik in euros' from file '/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/dzVents/generated_scripts/Dag verbruik in euros.lua':

[waltervl]

I made a type error. I fixed it in my previous post.

[Xavier82]

after changing code to:

Code: Select all

local testmessage = 'Mijn TEST Energie Overzicht : ' .. os.date("%d-%m-%Y")

I get this:

Code: Select all

And I received a message in Telegram!:
"Mijn TEST Energie Overzicht : 05-01-2023"

UPDATE:
when adding

Code: Select all

local testmessage = 'Mijn TEST Energie Overzicht : ' .. os.date("%d-%m-%Y") .. '\n tweede lijn'

Message isn't sent anymore

[waltervl]

OK so it seems the new line (\n) is the source of yor issues. It could also be that Telegram has a maximum message size. you have to check the documentation of the telegram API or find out by experiment....
So remove the '\n ..' from your script and try to buildup the message value by value.

[Xavier82]

So as a test I tested with de default Domoticz setup Telegram:

Code: Select all

dz.notify(subject, message, dz.PRIORITY_MEDIUM, dz.SOUND_PERSISTENT, nil, dz.NSS_TELEGRAM)

When I use this the message is being sent by Domoticz and received in Telegram (in the default chatbot as setup in Domoticz setup) incl. correct format.
I don't have a clue why this goes wrong.

Any other ideas?

[waltervl]

Because the function does something special it seems...

You could try to use urlEncode() the message to see if this works:

Code: Select all

dz.openURL('https://api.telegram.org/botXXXX:XXXX/sendMessage?chat_id=XXXX&text=' .. urlEncode(message))

[Xavier82]

using that code I get:

Code: Select all

2023-01-05 14:50:00.367 Error: dzVents: Error: (3.1.8) Dag verbruik in euros 03/01/2023-/-v1.13: An error occurred when calling event handler Dag verbruik in euros

[waltervl]

try

Code: Select all

dz.openURL('https://api.telegram.org/botXXXX:XXXX/sendMessage?chat_id=XXXX&text=' .. dz.utils.urlEncode(message))

or

Code: Select all

dz.openURL('https://api.telegram.org/botXXXX:XXXX/sendMessage?chat_id=XXXX&text=' .. domoticz.utils.urlEncode(message))

[Xavier82]

EUREKA! You're the master!

It works! Many, many, many thanks!
I really appreciate your time and patience to get this to work for me.

[waltervl]

You are welcome! Have fun with monitoring your Energy Usage on Telegram

Hey @Xavier82

Code: Select all

    local vandaagKwhzon = dz.devices('Teruglevering').counterToday -- Stroommeter p1 -Teruglevering
    local vandaagKwhth = dz.devices('Teruglevering Hoog').counterToday -- Stroommeter p1 -Teruglevering Hoog
    local vandaagKwhtl = dz.devices('Teruglevering Laag').counterToday -- Stroommeter p1 -Teruglevering Laag
    local vandaagKwhvh = dz.devices('Verbruik Hoog').counterToday -- Stroommeter p1 -Verbruik Hoog
    local vandaagKwhvl = dz.devices('Verbruik Laag').counterToday -- Stroommeter p1 -Verbruik Laag

You created dummy devices like Teruglevering, Teruglevering Hoog, Teruglevering Laag et cetera.

In my Domoticz there's just Power.
How did you assign values to these sub devices?

One more thing.
The gas consumption as it has been collected by Domoticz is only updated once an hour.
I guess your values will not reflect the exact Gas consumption of that day. (anyway, who cares)

Hi,

You need to create virtual sensors (Dummy) from the hardware menu fore these items.
I guess you are Dutch also, visit https://www.huizebruin.nl/domoticz/slim ... z-met-lua/ for more information and instructions about this and many more interesting measurement items.
I copied scripts from that website which update the dummy devices.

My gas consumption is automatically updated every minute. I use a P1 cable which is connected to our Smart Energy meter (incl. gas) and directly to my Rpi.
The gas consumption is frighteningly accurate on day and montly level to what Essent counts and charges me.

[Xavier82]

That will work out for me for sure.
This way I hope I can keep the bills a bit tempered.

Great! I'm Dutch, even better I'm Tukker.
Much simpler than the one I have found.
The script from huize Bruin was implemented within 10 minutes.

[waltervl]

You both know there that in the P1 Meter report page (report button on device log page) you have a detailed overview where you can see all this information per year/month even day... https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Dutch_DSM ... th_P1_port

Yup I know but thanks for pointing out

I did not know about the Report functionality Walter.
As always RTFM! I know, but didn't.

BTW
I learned a lot today and had a pleasant afternoon copying, coding and understanding.

Remark:
Instead of Telgram one can use Google Cloud Messaging.

Google Cloud Messaging.jpg (28.96 KiB) Viewed 977 times

Despite that it has been deprecated it still is alive for our purposes.
In your script:

Code: Select all

-- Notificatie voor verschillende aanbieders
	    -- dz.notify(subject, message, dz.PRIORITY_MEDIUM, dz.SOUND_PERSISTENT, nil, dz.NSS_TELEGRAM)
            dz.notify(subject, message, dz.PRIORITY_NORMAL)

Another thing.
In your script you insert costs.
Isn't it possible to use the values added in Domoticz and how can these be extracted?

Last remark:
What's the use of this script when one can retrieve dayly usaage and costs from your energy supplier in a nice app.
