Python Plugin Store

[domovincent]

I’m excited to announce the release of PyPluginStore! This is a fork of the original Python Plugin Manager (pp-manager),
(Python 3.13+ compatible).

The Star of the Show: A Brand New Plugin Store UI
We’ve added a responsive web interface right inside the Domoticz Custom menu.
* 1-Click Management: Install, update, or remove plugins effortlessly—no more SSH or manual folder dropping!
* Search & Filter: Snappy type-ahead search and an "Installed" toggle make finding what you need a breeze.
* Direct Repo Links: Check out a plugin’s source code instantly right from its card.

Other Major Upgrades:
* Bulletproof Dependencies: Safely isolates dependencies in a .shared_deps folder without requiring sudo or global pip. Uses uv for blazing-fast installs (if possible).
* Smarter Security: The built-in AST scanner has been overhauled to better catch malicious code while vastly reducing false positives (like ignoring private IPs).
* Auto-Updating: Let the store automatically update your plugins, or just notify you when updates are ready.
* Decoupled Registry: The plugin list syncs dynamically from GitHub every month, meaning you get new plugins in your store without needing to update the manager itself!

Quick Install (Linux/Raspberry Pi):
Simply clone it into your plugins folder as 00-PyPluginStore. (Note: Existing users using 00-PP-MANAGER don't need to rename their folder, the code is fully backwards compatible!)

1 cd domoticz/plugins
2 git clone https://github.com/adrighem/PyPluginStore.git 00-PyPluginStore
3 sudo systemctl restart domoticz.service

Check out the full details and screenshots on the GitHub Repository (https://github.com/adrighem/PyPluginStore).

I'd love to hear your feedback on the new interface. Happy automating!

Ha yes, the first real plugin store ^^.

I can't make return yet, because I don't work on y test machine.

Code: Select all

2026-05-11 17:51:12.279  Error: Store: Windows Platform NOT YET SUPPORTED!!

And the raspbian host is not yet available.

But the interface is clear, I realy like simple UI.

[Menno]

I installed this, following the instructions.
I don't see a plugin store, nor do I have a "Custom" menu item (only custom icons).
Do I somehow have to enable this menu?
Running 2026.1 on Raspberry Pi.

[madpatrick]

Great initaitive.

I've send a PR with my additions

Maybe remove the word "Domoticz" infornt of every name
Make it easier to read the plugins in the overview
For the install directoory is it also better because it will be a long path

[Thorgal789]

Yes, this tab can be optional, you have it on Settings/User

[Menno]

Yes, I have the option now.
However, the store remains empty and I see errors in my log:

This solved for me the issue
You can download the files manually if it has not merged

Hi DomoVincent

Is it possible to add a button "restart Domoticz"
When you install or update a plugin you need to restart domoticz, but this has to be done from the command line

And how do you update the PluginStore plugin from his own menu ?

When a update is avaialble you will get a message.
Is it possible to change the color of the update button of the plugin which can can be updated ?
Now they are al green

Yeah, this was a kindof dumb one on my side. It's fixed now and should be working as expected.

[domovincent]

Another <insert time unit here>, another release. Initial Windows Support was added. Hope you all like it.

[pfloryann]

It would be nice if the plugin would scan the domoticz plugins folder to check if there are any plugins installed before there are any Python Plugin Store. For example, there are already several plugins installed before, and the Plugin Store does not detect them and offers the possibility of reinstalling them.

[domovincent]

Guess what?

Implemented.

[madpatrick]

due the update now some installed plugins are not visible any more as installed
Even after reinstalling
See git issue

[pfloryann]

I have 2 plugins installed for several years, xiaomi-mi-robot-vacuum and broadlink, and they do not appear installed in the Plugin Store, which is what I sent.

[domovincent]

I have released a new version of the Plugin Store that should detect all of the local installs that are still alive on github.
If yours aren't detected, then please open an issue on github that contains the folder name, if it's a git clone or a zip install, which github repo it is supposed to be, and how old it is.

[eddieb]

does not show as menu on older domoticz 2025.1 (build 16682)

[mvveelen]

Hi great plugin! I just installed it and saw I had an update for the Volvo plugin and updated via the plugin.

But is it just me or does the "restart Domoticz" button not work?

[domovincent]

Thanks!

About the restart: there is a bit (maybe not enough?) about it in the readme. It requires sudo rights to do the restart on Linux, or system right via domoticz on windows. Read the readme, and let's see if that helps.

If not, open an issue on github and we'll investigate. Maybe documentation needs improvement, or maybe we need to change logging, or maybe there's an actual bug to solve.

[mvveelen]

Ah, I see.

In the log I see:

Do you think this is an issue I must raise?

Running Domoticz on a NUC with Linux btw.

[domovincent]

Ah, I see.

In the log I see:
<snip>log

Do you think this is an issue I must raise?

No need to raise an issue. The log is clear and I'll improve the store restart logic to be a bit more explicit. This log is correct behaviour by the plugin. And the system prevents the restart as expected because nothing has been setup to allow this.

The README has been updated and now contains extensive documentation on how to allow the restart to succeed: https://github.com/adrighem/PyPluginSto ... art-button

Either implement the sudo or the polkit variant, depending on personal taste or platform support. This is quite technical, but doable. After that, the restart will function as expected.
