Python plugin: Slide by Innovation in Motion

[Lokonli]

FYI: today I played around a bit more with the plugin for the local API and it seems that the actual status of the curtains is only updated every 30*180 seconds and that's a bit too slow for me. If you use touch and go or dzVents to do something with the curtains, the curtains' status is not reflected correctly in the UI for a long period. So, I changed that 180 to 20. Now the status is updated every 10 minutes.

Code: Select all

 def onHeartbeat(self):
        if self.hb == 20:
            Domoticz.Debug("onHeartbeat called")
            self.getAllSlidesInfo()
            self.hb = 1
        else:
            self.hb = self.hb + 1

Can you try latest version? (0.3.1)

Hi Lokonli,

That works just fine.

Thanks!

Dear Lokonli, all,

My slide system (local) was working fine for some years. However it was on Buster and I just upgrade to Trixie / Docker.
Now my plugin does not work anymore.

I see 2 locations here on the forum and am a little lost.

Code: Select all

/opt/domoticz/config/plugins/slide-domoticz-local 
and
/opt/domoticz/userdata/plugins/slide-domoticz-local  

The plugin in the config/plugin directory seems to be the one picked up in "Hardware".

Also, re-cloned with into the plug-in directory.
No success. Error message below. Anyone a clue / hint?
Thanks a million.
Jeroen

Domoticz docker expects the plugin (internally) in /opt/domoticz/userdata/plugins/slide-domoticz-local
This could be outside the container in for example ./config/pugins/slide-domoticz-local
This depends on your docker-compose.yml configuration of your volumes.

Any requirements/python modules for a plugin need to be installed inside the container, see also https://wiki.domoticz.com/Docker#Python_Plugins

Dear Walter, thanks for pointing me into this direction. It now works
Thanks a lot & I can now close my curtains for the X-mas dinner...
