dashticz field naming?

Post by willemd »

When developing my dashticz dashboards I often have great difficulty finding the correct identification/naming of the fields to use.

For example I want to add a customHeader to a graph with data from 2 sensors:
1) One is a kWH device and therefore I include "devices[3].Usage" (with capital) in the header definition and this works fine (the domoticz field is "usage" without a capital)
2) The other is a custom sensor and therefore I try "devices[106].SensorValue" (since the domoticz field is sensorValue) but this results in "undefined" to be displayed. I have tried many other variations........ The only solution I have found is to use "devices[106].Data" but this then also includes the unit of measure.

In custom graphs I can use d.v_3 but then this is not working in custom headers.

What is the logic for conversion from domoticz to dashticz naming? Where can I find this in the documentation?

For device field names Dashticz uses the names as obtained via the Domoticz json interface:

Code: Select all

http://domoticz ip:port/json.htm?type=devices&rid=123
(Replace 123 with your Domoticz device is)

The block parameter and config parameter naming is a bit messy.
(Personally I prefer camelCase, so maybe I'll change all parameters to that, someday.)

Thanks, that json hint takes out the guesswork. Very useful and saving lots of time ;-)
