homebridge-edomoticz Plugin

[TheRamon]

Yeah, might be a little weird at first. You can enable logging by starting homebridge in debug mode.

DEBUG=* homebridge -D

We have found that logging is pretty harsh on memory usage. Therefore it only logs if you explicitly tell it to do so.

[deejc]

Cool, I thought I broke it. Earlier in the week it was logging a ton of messages and i setup log rotate to stop the logs getting too big

I don't know if you kwon but you can use homekit from outside with apple TV 3 or 4

But also with ipad on ios 10 !!!

And it's ok with edomoticz

Marci,

I have a new raspberry pi 3 setup using the latest Domoticz SD Card image to replace my aging pi model B and I can't get over how much quicker it is. Well impressed. Anyways everything is setup now other than homebridge. Don't know if I should install edomitcz the usual way then following your instructions to update it to the MQTT branch. Or whether your about ready to push it out as the main version. What would you suggest?

Cheers mate.

@simon:
I think Marci's going to test some things this weekend, and if everything is well he'll get ready for a release. Never a bad thing to get it up and running now though.
You first update homebridge (since the one on the Domoticz SD Card is ancient!) and in it's node_modules folder you pull the git repo of the plugin.

Whenever stuff's released you could remove the directory and go to the homebridge folder and do a `npm install homebridge-edomoticz`!

TheRamon

Ok mate, I might just do that

Thanks

[simon_rb]

Got as far as pulling the git origin and now I get this
pi@raspberrypi:/usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge-edomoticz$ sudo git pull origin
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

Thats not right is it? Ran npm install and it did. How do I confirm I'm using MQTT?

[TheRamon]

Nice, but I think your plugin is installed through npm. That's the "release" version which is not in git. If you want to run MQTT, remove that folder (sudo rm -r /usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge-edomoticz/), and go to the node_modules (cd /usr/lib/node_modules/) and clone the git repo:

Code: Select all

sudo git clone -b mqtt-integration https://github.com/PatchworkBoy/homebridge-edomoticz.git

You now have that same folder, but now from git! With MQTT.

After that you can issue your command to get the latest version. (Whenever we update something, y'know)

[simon_rb]

Thanks mate! Says successfully connected to Broker.. Time to get testing!

Thanks again

[simon_rb]

I can't get over the speed of it. It's instant now! Brilliant.

I have noticed that my squeezebox players now show up as not compatible in the native home app on iOS 10 where with the non MQTT version they show up as normal switches.

Also, I have one Pi attached to my garage door that just operates one switch to open/close the door. It runs its own homebridge that makes the switch show up as a garage door. I'm thinking its not really worth setting MQTT up for just the one switch? Or am I wrong?

Thanks for the hard work getting this to work and then for helping people like myself!

What do the values represent in svalue1 and svalue2? They appear to bear no relation to CounterToday variable delivered by html json...

Not YET...

I've been pondering... and y'know what? I think you were right when you initially suggested doing sets back to Domoticz by MQTT as well as gets. The speed difference really is ridiculous... but we'd need to keep the infrastructure to do both so that users can choose whether to use MQTT or not via mqttenable. THEN it'd really be worth it for folks to migrate slaves over to MQTT also.

But we'll save that for the NEXT release...!

Yep, but I’m trying to work out which values correlate to what.

Code: Select all

	"Counter" : "103216.711",
         "CounterDeliv" : "0.000",
         "CounterDelivToday" : "0.000 kWh",
         "CounterToday" : "18.067 kWh",
         "CustomImage" : 0,
         "Data" : "51044841;52171871;0;0;830;0"
         

MQTT only sends the “Data” string. The only value in that data string that relates to the homebridge characteristics is the 5th part, so in the “Data” string above we can see in position 5 is the value 830. This is your current usage in Watts.

However, as we can see your CounterToday value is 18.067kWh.

None of the values in the other positions in the “Data” string - 51044841 & 52171871 - provide this value, nor do they match up to “Counter” value, so I’m puzzled as to what those numbers represent.

Essentially, this means that only the current consumption can be updated by MQTT.

Hello

I don't know why but my edomoticz plugin is not seen anymore since few days by my insteon app

I've started it manually see the output here :

but my insteon+ app doas not see devices.

Same with EVE and Home+

I'm on same network off course

Any idea ?
Thanks

[simon_rb]

Have you tried deleting your HomeKit data on your iOS device and then the persist and accessories folders from the ./homebridge folder? If not try that and restart homebridge..

[multinet]

I do it, and now I can only add a "homebridge" device in the apps ?

[simon_rb]

That's it. Just add homebridge and all your devices should add with that. Homebridge is the bridge between HomeKit and your devices.
