Domoticz version 2024.7 released

[gizmocuz]

It's time again for a new stable release!

This could not have happened without the help of everyone who contributed to make this happen!
Forum moderators, users, beta testers and specially all those who contributed with code! Thank you once again!!!

As always, PLEASE make a FULL backup of your Domoticz folder (or in case of an embedded system, your SD card!)
This way you can always return to the previous version you were running before this update!
Thanks to all volunteers who helped with the implementation! I know it was a lot of work with a lot of stress!

A few notes before updating:

• Because some users are still experiencing migration issues to ZWaveJS-UI, OpenZWave is back (No support!).
  The OpenZWave project was stopped 2 years ago.
  We still urge ysers using OpenZWave to migrate to ZWaveJS-UI in combination with the MQTT Autodiscovery method build into Domoticz.
  (See https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Zwave-JS-UI)
• Armv6 device support has been stopped. Sure, you can still build Domoticz yourself, but no binary versions are published anymore.
  This means devices like the Raspberry Pi 1, Pi Zero from ~12 years ago are not supported anymore.
• When using Domoticz with client/server setup (multiple locations), it is important that both server and client run this version or a beta.
• Support for remote updating a RFXCom transceiver has been removed as it was not working 100% with the latest models.
  This was a joined decision between us, and you now need to use the flash application from the RFXCom website.

Thanks Team Domoticz !!

[McMelloW]

Well done, Domoticz team.
Update went like charm and it all works OK.

[sirus]

The Energy board is soooo cool !

Great thanks for this Update -> I just did another well deserved donation for the work

Thanks all for the great work :=)

tx gizmocuz and all other developers for the new release. I just updated without issues.

I do have a question, in the changelog i read:

- Changed: Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) now uses the new v1 API of Google's Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)

how can i use this feature: the IOS app just crashes and hasn't been updated in 3 yrs, so how can i use the GCM/FCM feature? Is this documentated somewhere?

Another great improvement is that Domoticz now uses the (dynamic) energy prices in the database to calculate the energy costs.

Hi, thanks for this release, the update on my RPi 4 using Domoticz’ update option was perfect.
I so love the Energy Dashboard!

One silly question: how can I get a direct link to the Energy Dashboard on the main Domoticz Dashboard? I can’t ‘favorite’ the Energy Dashboard, can I?

Congratulations with the new release!

It does not work on my Raspberry at all.
It is unreachable, nothing works if the GUI comes up sometimes
Am I the only one ? and any ideas about this??

I already cleaned up the browser history

Is there a way to get back to the previous version??

Thanks in advance

Also freezes after a few hours overhere.

I have to do:
sudo service domoticz.sh restart

after a while

"Doesn't work" post aren't going to get you any resolution.
Create a new topic in the correct forum with the appropriate info: https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Troubleshooting

[rick8245]

@jeetje,

I do use that as a workaround too (thanks for that)
I restart it every hour at this moment and that works OK.

Hopefully there will be a structural solution the next weeks.

Thanks

This is not the topic to discuss this and it will not be solved until more is clear what is going on. Please make a more complete issue in the bugs and problems topic https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=6
Also check the troubleshooting wiki https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Troubleshooting

"Doesn't work" post aren't going to get you any resolution.

But it is the most logical place to mention it here!
Here people also report what is so nice about it and that it went well.
But that apparently does not apply to everyone. That can (regarding the release) be a very usefull warning to others. May be to wait until clear what the cause and/or solution is.
(Next to that, you might open a new topic to discuss the details.)

In addition: Maybe it's up to a moderator to give the clues on this and not each individual member with their own thoughts about it.

Hi all,

Thanks for this release. It looks like a very nice update indeed.

One question about the release process though; are github releases supported by the project, or not? Or is something broken in the pipeline?
I noticed the latest release is not there.

(reason is that I install updates automatically on my raspberries, using ansible, from the github page)
