[MyDomoAtHome] Support thread

[Evelen]

Tok a recovery to backup for before i installed MyDomoAtHome and try'd again, like this:

cd domoticz
git clone https://github.com/empierre/MyDomoAtHome MyDomoAtHome
cd MyDomoAtHome
cp config.yml.def config.yml

changed this files:

Config.yml:
domo_path: "http://192.168.1.123:8080"
external_url_camera : "http://ip:port/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=snapPicture2&usr=&pwd="
volumio_path: ""
(no need to change anythinh with IP-camera? Edited domo_path IP)

start2.sh:
export PERL5LIB='/home/flemmingss/domoticz/MyDomoAtHome/lib/'
(edited username)

MyDomoAtHome.sh:
APP_DIR="/home/flemmingss/domoticz/"
(edited username)

config.yml.def:
domo_path: "http://192.168.1.123:8080"
external_url_camera : "http://ip:port/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=snapPicture2&usr=&pwd="
volumio_path: ""
(edited ip at domo_path)

sh ./run-once.sh <-and yes to all

Still have same problems to start the service..

(the server is a VMWare esxi server, with 64bit Ubuntu server as OS)

[Doler]

looks we had this issue on another VM try... no clue why...

Hmm...
If I do "dpkg -l | grep cpan" I get " libcpan-meta-perl (Perl module to access CPAN distributions meta data)" as a result. So there is something available? Could it be that the path is not correct? "echo $PATH" gives "/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games", maybe there is something missing?
Thanks, Mark

SOLVED.
Problem appeared to be a missing cpanminus. After some internet searching I installed that using:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install curl gcc-4.7
sudo curl -L http://cpanmin.us | perl - --sudo App::cpanminus

Then I removed/re-installed MDAH where run-once.sh gave the following result:

That seemed to be much better, at least there was no error. The only thing was that the service still didn't run. The solution proved to be running update:

@Doler the issue is that you're on a repository that does not seems to have all modules... this one is not cpanm it is just the minimum basic...

tyry this:
curl -L https://cpanmin.us | perl - --sudo App::cpanminus

else

perl -MCPAN -e shell
then input:
install Time::Moment
install App::cpanminus

we'll if it can work

[epierre]

@Doler oops funny you found out, great !

@Evelen same punition as above to make it work, then end is near

[Evelen]

Did this:

curl -L https://cpanmin.us | perl - --sudo App::cpanminus



perl -MCPAN -e shell
yes
sudo
yes
install Time::Moment
install App::cpanminus
exit


It works

Also found the MyDomoAtHome on http://192.168.1.123:3001/


rebooted, still works

EDIT: Well, not 100%
http://192.168.1.123:8080/json.htm?type=devices <-can see devices
http://192.168.1.123:3001/ <-works
http://192.168.1.123:3001/devices <- hmm, this changes every refresh

Code: Select all

{"devices":[{"id":"S00","type":"DevGenericSensor","name":"Unable to connect to Domoticz","params":[{"key":"Value","graphable":"false","unit":"","value":"http://192.168.1.123:8080"}]},{"id":"S01","type":"DevGenericSensor","name":"Please add this gateway in Setup/settings/Local Networks","params":[{"value":"","unit":"","graphable":"false","key":"Value"}]}]}

Also ImperiHome say "Unable to connect to Domoticz", but it looks like it find "MyDomoAtHome"

[epierre]

@Evelen now this is a configuration problem, have you set a login/pass in domoticz ?

also you must rename config.yml.def to config.yml (as said in tutorial)

[PappleD]

Hello,

I got this error when trying to start service (./start2.sh)

Code: Select all

Hope someone have an idea on how to solve this?

[epierre]

@PappleD Dancer2 should have been an evolution, this is where I dropped dancer and I am rewriting it in nodeJS, so no issue there.

I don't understand why it has disappeared, but this line should fix it (is in run-once also...):

sudo apt-get -y install libdancer-perl

[Evelen]

@Evelen now this is a configuration problem, have you set a login/pass in domoticz ?

also you must rename config.yml.def to config.yml (as said in tutorial)

yepp, so one step further

anyway, I have both files, and i have edited them so them are the same: (do i need to delete the .def file?
Also, YES, i have a username and password for domoticz.



Anyway, looks like this worked: (localhost or 127.0.0.1 did not work, idk why..)

[epierre]

so as said in the tutorial add 127.0.0.1 or the ip to the local networks in domoticz

I have exactly the same issue. Running the above doesn't help. I get this error:

What am I doing wrong? I followed your brilliant guide to install and configure everyhting. This is the only error I have seen until now.

[nicolai]

And this is if I try to do ./start2-2.sh manually:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi ~/domoticz/MyDomoAtHome $ ./start2-2.sh

[epierre]

@nicolai do not use start2-2.sh just Start2.sh. I will remove the other for it creates confusion. The message is not an error in the end.

following what the start2.sh says, you may need:

sudo apt-get -y install libdancer-perl

and/or

sudo curl -L https://cpanmin.us | perl - --sudo App::cpanminus

and relaunch the run-once.sh

for the 2nd, do a git pull first, I have added it in the run-once.sh

[epierre]

Anyway, looks like this worked: (localhost or 127.0.0.1 did not work, idk why..)

it really depends on which network "card" your system will use...

[epierre]

@all sorry for those moving dependencies issues... used to work, not working for some... the definitive solution is comming with the nodeJS version, all is there except graphes and testers are already welcome

I am setting a slack channel for this on https://mydomoathome.slack.com to make support quicker and miss no message so please send me your email so I can invite you !

[nicolai]

Epierre, really appriciate your support and all the work you are putting into this. Please add me to your slack channel -

[epierre]

thanks nicolas, for people interrested and if you don't want to see your email on a forum please mail me on [email protected]

[PappleD]

Thank you Epierre for your help.
It did not work unfortonaly, but someore i else i found something i tried. and that succeed!

i did: sudo cpanm Task::Plack
and after that my errors were fixed and i was able to start MyDomoAtHome.
And now i can you switch my light with my app! "dancing"

now i'm going for outside network support... fingers crossed

[Evelen]

I must say I am not very impressed with imperihome. No "Push on button" and "Push off button", you can not change the text size, there are only two themes, very few icons, and those are reasonably low, and only a few are dynamic.
generally very little opportunity to do things cosmetic fine.
In addition, one must have this Imperihome menu bar at the top.

Well, there's no better alternatives to Domoticz, so get well live with Imperihome.

Anyway, MyDomoAtHome has worked fine until now.
Some things I would have liked:
- RGBW lights control

[epierre]

hello,

go to rhe custom mode, yoy can do all that even your own tbeme or home picture.

rgb is an issue in fomoticz I've not yet sorted out...
