Description:

Hi, I'm trying to set up the following blockly.

blockly2.png (22.05 KiB) Viewed 654 times

What is working: doorbell button is pressed (connected to my fibaro smart implant) both chimes ring.

What is not working:
1. the time is ignored for one of the chimes. I expect it shouldn't ring between 18.55h - 07.05h. (I don't want to wake the kids during the night/evening)
2. there is no snapshot sent via email. The log throws an error:
2024-10-29 20:56:17.884 Error: SMTP Mailer: Error sending Email to: <[email protected]> !
2024-10-29 20:56:17.884 Error: libcurl: (56)
2024-10-29 20:56:17.884 Error: Failure when receiving data from the peer
2024-10-29 20:56:17.884

I've setup email in settings and receive notifications normally. I have checked "Snapshots as attachments (Gmail)."
When "Snapshots as attachments (Gmail)" is unchecked I receive the image in alphabetical-format/base64(?) encoded.
I can see the image clearly in Camera settings, it's a Dahua, image URL: cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi?Channel=1

Is there anything I can do on my side? Has someone else the same problem? I haven't set it up on earlier versions of Domoticz, just now.

Technically sending snapshots is working with a Gmail account. I use it too. But perhaps there is some local storage going wrong?As you seem to have Ubuntu running as a VM?

As a test you can also use a dummy switch and attach it to the camera to have a snapshot sent. You are able to see the camera images in Domoticz?

I have a Domoticz service in /etc/systemd/system/domoticz.service:

Which folder and what permissions should I look after?

I am able to view the snapshot and stream video in Domoticz Camera's.

Can you give more details on your suggestion: "As a test you can also use a dummy switch and attach it to the camera to have a snapshot sent"

As you suggested elsewhere this gives me also status OK:

Code: Select all

Then it seems perhaps an issue with blocky. I don't use that.

But as the Camara wiki states you can link a (dummy) switch to a camera so when that switch is switched a screenshot can be sent. If that works it is a blockly issue.

Thanks for the hint. I just did that, unfortunately the same error pops up in the Log, so it doesn't seem to be a Blockly issue..
