Wow your are quick, thanks

try a new update

[Bikey]

Wow, you are really fast, this time it works! Thanks, no more repeating devices!

Only issues I still have are:

1. Most important: the push-on and pus-off buttons work the wrong way around. Like explained earlier: a "push-on" button should be "Off" in the interface. If you push it, it should send an "On" signal and show an "On" state in the interface temporarily and then turn back to the "Off" state in the interface. Currently it is just the other way around: it is "On" in the interface and send an "Off" command if you push it.
2. My PIR-sensors are presented just like smoke detectors with the status "OK", "Alert!". They have a button wich suggests that they can be "Armed" and "Disarmed" but that is not possible with my motion detectors.
3. I have 2 empty tab pages in the App: "Utility" and "Volume" (?). Probably not something you can do anything about?
4. In the App (top right) you can select "show hidden devices". That does not do anything, I was expecting that it would show the devices that are hidden in Domoticz by using a name that starts with "$"

Anyway you are doing a great job, keep up the good work!

this is not what I have seen yesterday for I tested in both interface and this was ok for push on and push off buttons. In domoticz the push on is always on, there is no off anywhere. In imperihome, since they doon't have the push button it is a switch, so if you push the on button, it goes off in imperihome but sends an on to domoticz. Then imperihome refreshes and see it is On in domoticz so goes back to On.

I have the same, it is not a button but a status you cannot change.

[*]I have 2 empty tab pages in the App: "Utility" and "Volume" (?). Probably not something you can do anything about?.

I could, but I would need a tracker for this. This means I need to parse the devices before giving the rooms, this can be done as an enhancement

[*]In the App (top right) you can select "show hidden devices". That does not do anything, I was expecting that it would show the devices that are hidden in Domoticz by using a name that starts with "$" [/list].

this is imperihome specific, you can hide devices in imperihome going in their configuraton

I just tested it: you are wright, in Domoticz the push on is always on. If you push it, Domoticz sends an "On" command (that's why it is called a push-ON button I guess...).
However, if I push it in Imperihome it sends an "Off" command, which causes it to go Off in Domoticz interface as well.
Also in Imperihome the buttons returns to "On", while in Domoticz it is still "Off" (both in the interface and looking at a the last state in the log). So the gateway does not actually seem to look at the status of Domoticz (or the API gives a wrong state)?

What do you mean by "tracker". Is that something I can do, I don't have a Github account.

Ok, so you mean that the Imerihome API does not support hidden devices? I don't see any options in the settings for the Imperihome App to hide devices.

yes and no.... I take all devices whenever they are hidden or not in domoticz, but I cannon set a hidden flag in the API

to change this in the ui, press long on the device name, then check "hide this device"

Hello,

is that a push-on or push-off button in domoticz ? then this is normal, I restested this yesterday

No, it's a regular On/Off switch. I tried changing to another type and changing it back but that didn't help. When changed to a push-on I see indeed the same behaviour except when it's an On/Off switch it shows this behaviour only when On. Other switches behave normal, so I've only one weird switch.

ok so it is something different, if I have your database, what is the device in question so I can have a look ?

thanks,

I have to disagree. I have created a dummy "push-on" switch in Domoticz. If I push it in ImperiHome the status gets "Off". The API also shows that the status is "Off". Look:

Oh, didn't know that, that's what I needed, thanks for the tip!

I take all devices whenever they are hidden or not in domoticz

Nope: all devices with a "$" in the name do not appear in Imperihome. They are also not available in http://gatewayIP:port/devices

[Doler]

Did sent it a couple of minutes ago.

"Data" : "Off",
"InternalState" : "Off",
"Status" : "",
"SwitchType" : "Push On Button",

this indicates something internal, we only use the Status which is empty here for it is always On. I guess this is something alwas answered but not used, I'm not sure the value changes one day... it has also dimmer function but is not dimmable, too much useless information

this has to be investigated, I see no reason

Well I see "Data" : "On" or changing to "Off" and "Internal State" (which is probably the presentation) also changing from "On" to "Off".
Perhaps you can use those states?

See below for the "On" condition of the push-on button (previous post was the "Off" state):

Another request/question: I have a door contact (type "contact" in Domoticz) wich can be "Open" or "Closed".
In Imperihome however this contact is presented as a switch, suggesting that you can activate it. Can you change this to a "DevDoor" (not Armable)?

I see in the ImperiHome API-documentation that a smoke detector = DevSmoke and that it has a param key "Armable" as well. If you set this at "0", perhaps this is also removed in the App interface? That would be nice!

Well I'm a bit puzzled because:
1- I don't think domoticz would handle any off value on such buttons (push on button)
2- many people already use it this way without reporting an issue.

if this is a push on button, why would you have an off command which is sent ? I don't understand the behavior...

[Bikey]

From Domoticz it is not possible to send an "Off" command. So the only way for me now to get it to change to "Off" is by using the ImperiHome App. If i push it in the App, it changes to "Off" in Domoticz, but changes to "On" again in Imperihome! So to me, this proves that Imperihome is sending an "off" message if you press a "Push-on" button....

if there is a parameter presented by domoticz I can show that difference, what is your device so I can see ?

I already send a DevDoor for a DooLock device in DZ.

I see in the ImperiHome API-documentation that a smoke detector = DevSmoke and that it has a param key "Armable" as well. If you set this at "0", perhaps this is also removed in the App interface? That would be nice!

Same here, I already send a DevSmoke for a Smoke Detector device in DZ.

have you some device that are not mapped these way ? if so, please tell me your names on your DZ,

[epierre]

I don't know if this is the same issue as Doler, but a push on is always on in domoticz. If it is not, then this is not a push-on button.

what is the device in your database so I can have a look ?

ok the unk value is not normal, I'll see why it is here.
