Xenomes,

Thanks (that I didn't find that myself ).

Hopefully you can help me explaining my numbers.

This month I made 62.657 API Call.scalls (Feb was around 55.000)
These are split up into: IoT Core 34,442; Smart Home Basic Service 26,949; Applet/H5 version for Hotel 284; Standard Version for Hotel 284 and Premium Version for Hotel 284. And Authorization Token Management 284 times.
IoT Core and Smart Home Basic Service are the huge numbers (I think).

When is an API call issued? I have 14 devices and a polling interval of 15 minutes. How can I get into those high numbers (or are they more or less normal with 14 devices) and what do I need to do to get the numbers down.

TIA!

Not exactly, a small calculation makes, 25 days × 24 Hours × 4 times a hour × 14 devices = 33600 status calls,then all the control api calls. So the 34442 possible.

Hello everyone,

I have multiple devices running under TinyTUYA (cloud) without any problems.

Recently, however, I successfully installed the Avatto ZWT198 thermostat, all devices are present and working, see screenshot.

But in the Domoticz log I get the following message every 5 minutes (my set polling time):
"Error: TinyTUYA: Device read failed: bffeb0ae05ba8f90c8taso"

What could be causing this and how do I solve it?

Thanks in advance!

It's possible that the Mode device is causing the error. Is the mode same as in the tuya based app? Also, did you put the device in DP Instruction mode? In that mode, the JSON is more complete, which is useful when using TinyTuya.

Thanks, that was the solution!

The mode (selector) button actually didn't work at all (should be "manual", "auto" and "temporary".

After I removed this selector device in Domoticz and put the device in DP instruction mode on the Tuya Developer Platform, a new working mode (selector) device was created in Domoticz. Now as it should be with "manual", "auto" and "temporary".

By the way: do you recommend transferring all devices to DP instruction mode anyway?

Thanks again!

TinyTuya recommends using the 'DP instruction' some devices benefit from it, while others don’t.

Hi there,

After updating domoticz to build 16703 I'm getting the following error:

Any thoughts?

Do you use Domoticz in a docker environment? As docker for beta is now based on bookworm with a new Python version and Python Virtual environments.
Did you update the plugin too?

Hi reinestein,
Thanks for reporting the issue, I have replicated the problem. I am searching for a solution. Indeed the issue start with update to bookworm. Stable version is running fine.

[reinestein]

Ok check! I can't roll back to a previous version 'coz my Tado plugin doesn't work
