I've got all the typevals from 0 thru 17... are there more?? Will post source for emulator this evening - effectively, it just allows you to copy in a User's JSON output to build up/replicate a static set of sensors to diagnose user issues.

S'nothing major - single file functional PHP, but you will need a locally installed web server on your development machine able to parse .htm files as PHP. (e.g.: SetHandler statement in httpd.conf or .htaccess)

Nah thats what I have aswell, no need to post them then.

Cool ty. I have been developing in php for 16 years the UWP app is my first c# expierence so I should be able to figure it out.

Sure you don’t need the destructions, but... spool up a vhost in apache listening on port 8080 (or whatever you fancy, just remember to point config.json at whatever port)... edit your virtualhost.conf file (or just stick it in .htaccess) and add:

Code: Select all

<FilesMatch ".+\.htm$">
        SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>

...into the relevant <VirtualHost *:8080></VirtualHost> container. Restart apache.

Then - json.htm in the web root...

Code: Select all

<?php
if (isset($_GET['type'])){ $types=true; }
if (isset($_GET['rid'])){ $idx=$_GET['rid']; } else { $idx=false; }

function transjson($json){
	if (!isset($_GET['callback'])){

	} else {

In the above, I’ve taken each of deejc & jem101’s JSON output as submitted to the GitRepo, stripped line breaks altho not really necessary, one per if(idx=={int}) statement... and also concatenated them all and put the lot into $output in if (($types==true) && ($idx==false)) {}

Voila. Done. Domesticz accessory emulator. Point your config.json at your web server IP and port, and fire up Homebridge.

So, I have my ‘main’ homebridge which runs from RaspPi. I also have homebridge and homebridge-edomoticz installed on my MacbookPro, which is hosting the above at localhost:8080.

In my home kit apps, I have two homes... my actual home, paired to the rasppi homebridge, and my dev-home, paired to my Macbook homebridge install. I can mess around with user’s setups to my heart’s content without messing up my own home’s setup. I can replicate the output of their sensors precisely with a quick copy & paste.

Or, create a room in your real Domoticz... manually add switches, one of every type... hit up json.htm?type=devices&plan={room idx} to get an output of just those sensors. Copy and paste into $output above, and into the if / else if statements for the individual sensors in if (($types==true)&&($idx)){}

[Sneezydevil]

Nice thank you will try it.

[deejc]

im not sure if this will help anyone but for future ref (mainly for my self) im making a note of it here as its relevant

Setting up Monit on Raspberry pi to restart homebridge if it fails

i followed this guide upto and including Step 3
https://www.the-hawkes.de/monitor-your- ... monit.html

I then created /etc/monit/conf.d/homebridge

Code: Select all

check process homebridge with pidfile /var/run/homebridge.pid
    start program = "/etc/init.d/homebridge start" with timeout 60 seconds
    stop program  = "/etc/init.d/homebridge stop"
    if cpu > 60% for 2 cycles then alert
    if cpu > 80% for 5 cycles then restart
    if totalmem > 200.0 MB for 5 cycles then restart
    if loadavg(5min) greater than 10 for 8 cycles then stop
    if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 51826 protocol http
       and request "/accessories"
    then restart
    if 3 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout

My homebridge is running with out forever and using the init.d script.
also i dont know if the memory and cpu loads are right as i copied this from the apache conf

[Marci]

Stick it as a new issue on main homeBridge repo and Nik or Khaos should be able to tell you correct-ish number of cycles to watch for...

Ps: remembered why I went with havedimmer in the plugin in the first place... S'cos that's what they use in the official domoticz legacy shim supplied on the domoticz sd card Raspi image to assign dimmer characteristic

[deejc]

They should ditch that shim and make your plugin the official as it rocks

Love your plugin, I too think they should update the image and include yours instead of the old deprecated one (whats the point in shipping deprecated software?!).

I'm having troubles getting HomeKit to properly show my switches, which might also affect Siris ability to switch them for me.

By looking at the Domotics json output for my switches, I see that they are properly reporting their status as on or off, but when looking at the same Switch in MyTouch Home, it does not seem to pick up its current status correctly.

Earlier, I had the same problem when using the Z-way HomeBridge plugin, but I worked around it by making the switches appear as lights (which is why I reported this feature request ).

I'll experiment a little with resetting HomeKit and get rid of the persisted data in HomeBridge... But I think the first step to enlightenment would be to verify the HomeBridge output.

After that I guess I will find a way to debug the HomeBridge output. Hopefully there is a debug switch that might help. If that does not help the next step is probably to set up the HomeKit environment on my OS X to see if I can see the data from that end instead.

Has anyone else experienced this behavior with Fibaro switches?

Edit: no sooner had I posted this than my devices started to properly show their current status in MyTouch Home. My Apple TV is currently turned on and I'll test to shut it off to see if remote access is part of the issue

[Marci]

There’s a bit of ugliness in how everything works to do what we’re doing here, especially bearing in mind the ideal hardware most are using (rPi).

That ugliness being, to get status of a single accessory involves a single http request. The way we’re handling things at the moment means to update your app will trigger [num of accessories] http requests, and have to wait for that many responses.

• The more accessories, the longer it takes for all the responses (especially if you’re using a Micro Wifi dongle on your Pi - all my kit is wired on gigabit however).
• The more your CPU is strained on your RaspPi, the longer those responses take.
• The more requests you make, the more strained the CPU is.

Spot the flaw. That’s without taking into account any manual scripts y’all are running to get your sensor values into Domotics (i’ve got a pile of python scripts running handling various fudged sensors on GPIOs, over OSC etc, which are all in turn updating Domoticz virtual sensors with yet more http requests).

When things don’t show up, we close and reopen apps and swipe about, triggering a constant pile of even more http requests all needing responses or to timeout.

Need to find a way to just get the _entire_ devices list once per update, and extrapolate the accessories from that, but that’s not how HomeKit nor HAP-NodeJS (the part of homebridge doing the actual work) are currently designed to work. Am pondering.

BUT all that said, glad your devices are responding correctly now m0rph!!

Upcoming: made a Gas Pulse Sensor today (2-wire magnetic reed switch under the dials, attached to RPi GPIO, & python crunching the counters) - it’s strapped to my iTron U6 and is giving me pulses as we speak, which has provided me with a P1 Gas Smart Meter in Domoticz, so support for that’ll be added to the plugin shortly too as a custom accessory/characteristic type... then I’ve just gotta choose me a 433Mhz Thermostat Relay Receiver. Once that shows up I’ll be working on adding some heating control (in addition to the request opened for EvoHome zone support over on the repo) which will hopefully be a spec-compliant HomeKit type.

[arcidodo]

Hello! your plugin works great! but i have the OpenTherm Gateway to control my thermostat is it possible to manage it using your plugin? it is now listed as switch in Eve.

thanks!

[Eduard]

Just wondering:
Why are the temperatures rounded to half?

[Marci]

Cos when they weren't, HomeKit complained they were non-compliant and refused to add them.

Cos when they weren't, HomeKit complained they were non-compliant and refused to add them.

Ok. Thanks. Good to know

[steppi]

Hi guys!
I want to connect to my Homebridge of Domoticz security system, but I saw that with eDomoticz there is no work "security system" .. You could add?
One more question: I would like to install one "Selector Switch" of Domoticz and can choose directly from Home.app (Homekit)

[Marci]

See instructions on first post for requesting additional device support.

HomeKit has no option for providing selector switches - it's not in the specification. Until Apple supports the control type there's nothing I can do.

This implies your nodejs installation is out of date. Issues with installation of npm / node need raising via npm support / nodejs support. The only thing I can suggest is to run...

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

...again.

If you’ve got a Gas Pulse Counter or Elec Pulse Counter being registered as a P1 Smart Meter sensor, or an OpenThermGateway, or EvoHome Thermostat running in Domoticz, it MIGHT be worth updating homebridge-eDomoticz to latest version (0.1.19). The following assumes that the EvoHome has been added via this script method.

OpenTherm & EvoHome support VERY experimental...

• OpenTherm should be able to change / read the SetPoint (range: 5 - 38 deg C)
• EvoHome should be able to read & change the setPoint (range as above), as well as set Temporary Override time in minutes up to 8 hours in the future, or set minutes to 0 for auto mode, minutes to 481 for permanent override.
• Changing the SetPoint (only) in BOTH cases should be doable via Siri as this support is using the native HomeKit Thermostat accessory type

Am waiting for confirmation on the OpenTherm/EvoHome front that it works, however, have tested to ensure that existing sensor functionality is unaffected by these additions, so nothing should be broken by the update if you don’t have these sensors.

Also, if you have a script that’s monitoring & converting a gas pulse count over time to get kWh for a “realtime” gas consumption and you’ve got this mapped to a General > kWh elec meter, make sure the word “Gas” is in it’s name in Domoticz and it should pull thru the reading from the Usage field. (The P1 Smart Meter Gas Sensor just gives you today’s total unit count so far (in m3))

Just wondering:
Why are the temperatures rounded to half?

AND, after investigating further as a result of @Eduard’s post, Temp sensors now no longer round to nearest 0.5 deg. They round to nearest 0.1 deg.

Code: Select all

sudo npm update -g homebridge-edomoticz
forever restart /usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge/bin/homebridge
tail -f `ls -t ~/.forever/*.log | grep -v '^d' | head -n1`

I've noticed that the dim-level is correctly shown in my Eve-app using HomeBridge, but the Power-states of all devices (both lights & switches) show 'OFF'. Is there any change on showing the correct power state?
