2025.2, bookworm on pi and plugins failing (no working work around found)

[Musky]

Version: 2025.2
Platform: Raspberry pi4 Bookworm
Plugin/Hardware: Any python plugin
Description:
All my python plugins fail to work. I have created a workaround found on
https://zigbeefordomoticz.github.io/wik ... alEnv.html
to set up a virtual environment (seems ok intalled).
then i try to use option 2 of updating the service but
vi /etc/systemd/system/domoticz.service yields an empty file.
Option 1 does not render a solution ...
Still my test python fails ...

any help VERY VERY welcome, if nothing works i will have to look for a different Home Automation system ... and i like Domoticz WITH plugins ....

this is the Option 1 domoticz.sh file (top part that was changed):

Try the file /etc/init.d/domoticz.sh to modify the PYTHONPATH. Stop the domoticz service first.
After modification and restarting the service you should be able to see the PYTHONPATH shown in the domoticz log.

Edit: And you have to reinstall all the python modules for all plugins with for example:

Code: Select all

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt --upgrade -t /home/marc/Domoticz_Python_Environment

Thanks, that will be some work ... will report when done , the python version upgrade also causes some fall out from current plugins (pymodbus for instance) ... but anyhow many thanks!
