Domoticz & Ubuntu I need help

[Marque1968]

THIS TOPIC IS SNOWED UNDER BY THE AMOUNT OF MY TRIES TO GET ANY DOMOTICZ WORKING. I AM THEREFOR STARTING A NEW TOPIC. PLEASE DELETE THIS TOPIC.


I have uses Domoticz on Pi, but as the SD memory card kept crashing over the years. I now got myself a Intel NUC, running on Ubuntu 22.04.2.
(do not read the line below: )
I have taken this opportunity to try Home Assistant, as I keep on ready how much more progress it has made over the years. However as even the simpelest script, did not physically switched all the lights as set, but did show the in the program the lights as being switched. I therefore came running back to Domoticz

However, it is not going as planned. I'm getting to the state I am contemplating of throwing the towel in the ring.

First I installed Domoticz via Docker. It took quite some time before I got the USB channels shared, but I got my Z-Wave working perfectly. But it went wrong when installing the dzConz zigbee stick.
The docker had the plugin directory in /opt/domoticz/config/plugins.
But the dzConz pluging looked at /opt/domoticz/userdata/plugins
I then tried to get a tuya plugin installed, and the same happened. Duplicating the files to a userdata dir did not work.

I gave up on docker. Deinstelled the domoticz container and installed the normal Domoticz version.
This was not working either. Domoticz failed to start. With my limited Linux knowledge I found that SystemCTL showed that DOmoticz stayed in "Activating" state. This was due to an error 127. I went to domoticz.sh and altered the file to have the correct settings (username). Running sh domoticz start gave an

Code: Select all

/home/marque1968/domoticz/domoticz: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I disabled the wwwssl setting, I tried installing libssl, I even tried rebuilding domoticz with a suggested parameter.

Code: Select all

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release CMakeLists.txt -DUSE_OPENSSL_STATIC="NO"

However, errors prevent it from building

Code: Select all

  extern/mosquitto/CMakeLists.txt:36 (find_package)

I have nearly given up. I hope somebody has an way to get things going quickly. (I need to recover the WAF before being forced to dismantle...)

PS. As I read enough people not being able to run Domoticz on Ubuntu, and more people run Domoticz succesfully in Docker, I will already start to deinstall the normal Domoticz and reinstall the docker version. Hoping somebody can tell me a single file to alter to get things running. (and it gives me something to do in the meanwhile )

[Marque1968]

As expected. Back in Docker, the issue is the same:

In the config subdir there is a plugins dir, but nothing happened with the userdata directory I made before calling docker compose up -d

My docker-compose.yml file reads as:

This morning I tried to install Tuya once more. It gives the error notification that shows the issue.

The plugin directory Domoticz is looking at in it's plugin list (and where I had to install the plugin) is /opt/domoticz/config/plugins. But the plugin itself looks for /opt/domoticz/userdata/plugins, just as configured in the Domoticz Docker file.

If I am correct that Tuya is Zigbee, I would recommend switching to Zigbee2MQTT (also via docker-compose)

[Marque1968]

My appologies for being unclear on that @gizmocuz.

My infrastructure is set to consist out of:
- The Z-Wave protocol
Consisting out of an Aeontec ZWave 500 stick and loads of
Fibaro switches and Coolcam sensors and powerplugs
- The Zigbee protocol
Consisting out of a Dresden Technology Conbee stick with dzConz software
and loads of zigbee enabled spotlights
- The Wifi lights using the Tuya protocol
With a lot of spotlights and led strips
- Google assistant integration
With 1 or 2 nest mini's and/or nest hubs per room and
google Chromecast conected to each television screen and some monitors
- potential other (wifi) smart devices
Currently my dish washer and freezer have such connections available
- Domoticz (preferably, otherwise HA) on an Intel Nuc running Ubuntu


Tuya is therefore an other connection type than Zigbee. Zigbee ought to connect via the dzConz on port :80.

I removed the docker version again, and am back to the normal version.

This gets stuck with:
# sudo service domoticz.sh status

domoticz.service - domoticz_service
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/domoticz.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

Main PID: 4711 (code=exited, status=127)

Just a thing is that I never configured to have SSL, but I assume that this is not the issue...

The module tuyaha is missing from your installation.

The module tuyaha is missing from your installation.

Thank you for trying to help me. However, as stated
- the plugin was installed in ./setup/plugins and domoticz finds these plugins but running the various plugins, they look towards ./userdata/plugins
- I gave up on docker, and am trying to fight the SSL problem in the normal installation now. (or give up on domoticz and move to HA)
