'Dromotica' app for controlling Domoticz from Android

[RoadXY]

I see.
Open the drawer on the left by swiping from the left side of the screen.
Select preferences by swiping the drawer up.

Thanks It is not very intuitive, and this menu button is very small.

But after few minutes and some togle switch, domoticz stopped response (or crashed). I will look for why.

indeed, it can use some improvements, but its a nice start!

I'd like to use an existing apache install to frontend (reverse proxy) my raspberry pi Domoticz install. As such, I've added the following apache config:

<Location /domoticz/>
ProxyPass http://192.168.1.109:8080/
</Location>

And configured the app as follows:
Domotics URL: fqdn.com/domoticz
Domoticz port: 443
Secure? Secure

When try to use the app, it appends the port after the /domoticz URI...

[26/Apr/2015:20:27:58 -0400] "GET /domoticz:443/json.htm?type=scenes HTTP/1.1" 404 4265 "-" "-"

Would it be possible to logic to add the port before the first / OR to give an optional URI?

For anybody else trying to do this, I realized I could do it with mod_rewrite:

Code: Select all

<Directory /var/www/html/domoticz>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteBase "/domoticz/"
    RewriteRule "^:443/(.*)$" "http://192.168.1.109:8080/$1" [P]
</Directory>

Is this app still under development? I really would like to arrange to sequence of the devices.

Every now and then there is a update.
Not weekly or something like that.

Hi!

Great app - Love it!
Some questions:

1) How do i set securitystatus to disarm/arm home/arm away with geofence? I only see on/off.
2) Using the securitypanel works great in the Switches tap, but remains hidden (Data below does not move down) in the dashboard tab.

Im using a Sony Xperia and latest stable Domoticz.

[sundberg84]

Im having a hard time getting geofence to work

-I have sucessfully added a geofence with 150m radius.
-Google Location Service activated.

Sometimes, IF i unlock screen and open dromotica it works, but sometimes i have to also open maps or another app to "reload" right location lat/long.
If the screen is locked, nothing happens for atleast several minutes.

Either its location lat/long that isnt updated fast enough or dromotica doesnt update fast enough.
When i come home i enter my wifi which should reload/set my location within 20m but its hard to doublecheck since when i open an app to check my location, it also updates the location.

Any ideas?
For a future request i would like to have dromotica check for a wifi connection, If [wifi] = present then sendaction end if

Thank you for a great app.

Hi,

I've tried NFC with Dromotica and I get some trouble with scene. Indeed I can turn off switches using NFC tag, but when I want to do the same with groups or scenes it doesn't work...whereas I have the confirmation message that tag has been written.

Any idea ?

great app by the way !

PS : is there any chance to see Dromotica in IFTTT, it would be awesome !!:D

Regards

[RoadXY]

For integration with IFTTT (now called IF) Domoticz should support it, not the Android app.

[lucalg]

Thanks a lot! the dimmers are working now.

What can you do with the NFC tag function and how to use it?

With NFC you can use NFC tags to control switches or scenes. I've put a nfc sticker tag on my staircase that will switch off all the lights and equipment in my living room and a sticker in my garden shed that will toggle the lights in my house. So instead of starting the app and then selecting the correct scene I just tap my phone to the tag. Without a rooted phone you will need to unlock your phone before it works so it works best with a rooted phone.

I'll write a more detailed post about it soon.

Ciao, i am loosing my health trying to configure nfc tag reader in domoticz. Some hardware issue in the start, now solved. I can see tags using nfc-poll but no idea to make the reader in domoticz. Please can you tell me how do you have placed nfc on?
Tnx
Luca

G'day, thanks for the great app. I am trying to add a switch widget, however when I add it and the popup comes up to configure, there are no switches available for me to choose. When I open the app I see my switch on the dashboard and under the switches menu. Any idea why I can't add it as a widget?

Hello good afternoon,

Is the app still under development?

There are some issues:
- When you start the app you don't receive always data. You have to restart the app again.
- The energy consumption is not correct using solar panels. It must be possible to receive figures below zero.
- When using the option to select a camera the app crashed (onePlus one phone). Send the crash reports several times to Google.

Suggestions:
- Please implement in the devices tab a fast option to select a room, with many devices the list is to long.



Regards,
Jan.

Did you get your issue(s) resolved? I have the same problems. Don't like waiting for loading screen when I come home and want to disarm the alarms. Thanks!

I sort of resolved it by adding a virtual Switch and use that instead of the security panel for widget and switch screen. I set the switch to turn back off if its turned off after 3 mins.

I also AND all my security statements with that virtual switch, so when I turn that switch off, it turns off my alarms. This is great for when I come home and want to enter from the garage, it'll turn off the alarm for 3 mins, enough time to get inside and I dont have to waste time to input the code.

The virtual switch is called MasterGarageAlarmSW in my example. I have a door sensor called GarageDoorTested.

Does anybody know if it is possible to add two "Local Wifi SSID"'s or if I can use a wildcard in the SSID name? I have both a 2,4 and a 5GHZ Wifi with a different SSID (the last SSID is only different from the first in that it is ending on -5G). So Dromotica only works if I am connected to the one I have marked in the settings and I would really like have it working with both SSID's.

[RoadXY]

Not possible. The new Domoticz app will support unlimited SSID selection however

How can I add my remote settings? what do I need to set up?
