Hi guys,

First off, love the app!

Quick thinks I noticed during a week of usage:

1. Geo-fencing would be nice if there was a difference in 'entering' and 'exiting' your geo-fence (and switch to a specific server, or flip a switch, preferably both, but I really like the thought, you can see there's put in a lot of smart thinking here!).

2. Great that it supports the Youless-meters. 1 thingie: Youless can be used to measure Power and Gas (depends on the firmware you flash into it). It's probably hard to differentiate between the two, because both of them are reporting Watts and KWh's at the moment and calculates the EURO's accordingly.)

And a question, what would Home-kit support mean? That I can ask Siri to turn on my lights etc? (that would be an awesome next step).

And a request: If you logic / app-skills could be used to create a full blown ipad app as well, I'd gladly pay another EUR 20,00 for that

(I use an iPad on the wall, but now it's to show the web-interface, an app in your style would be loads more awesome

Keep up the good work, I'm a fan!

Hi,

Thanks for the compliments of course, glad you like it. Considering your feature requests, a few questions:
- What would be a use case for different entering and exiting action for a geofence, I thought about it, but considered a clean UI above complex features, what is there you can not do right now?
- How would I know that you've flashed your Youless for gas? Can you see that in the JSON? If so send me a PM and I will create support for it.
- Homekit support is still under consideration, right now I am using 'Homebridge' with domoticz, so I can talk thru Siri to my devices and scenes (just google for it)
- iPad is something I might consider, but probably not in the near future, Apple Watch first

Oooo, like the sound of Apple Watch... is there any chance of this app working with evohome? I've got evohome temperatures displaying in Domoticz already, but Homebridge doesnt pick them up as temperature devices, so I can't ask Siri temperatures... yet.

Evohome and homebridge is not an App thing or even a Domoticz thing. It's the current limited implementation of the (domoticz) platform support in Homebridge. The good news is that I am having the same wish and I might just implement that in homebridge. For now no need for support via the App.

Sorry for the late response on my side as well

(I forgot to subscribe to this thread lol)

- Well, exiting a geo-fence could start my 'away'-scene (kill switch), entering my 'home'-scene (switching on the lights, turning on the thermostat) AND (I really love that in the app) switch to a server I prefer (keep that keep that!) for internal (wifi) / external (3g) usage .. that rox!

You'll probably know it, but I really like the ifttt geofence implementation.

- JSON for the GAS-thing:

Code: Select all

{
         "AddjMulti" : 1.0,
         "AddjMulti2" : 1.0,
         "AddjValue" : 0.0,
         "AddjValue2" : 0.0,
         "BatteryLevel" : 255,
         "Counter" : "46112.301",
         "CounterToday" : "3.54 m3",
         "CustomImage" : 0,
         "Data" : "46112.30 m3",
         "Description" : "",
         "Favorite" : 1,
         "HardwareID" : 9,
         "HardwareName" : "YouLess GAS",
         "HardwareType" : "YouLess Meter with LAN interface",
         "HardwareTypeVal" : 6,
         "HaveTimeout" : false,
         "ID" : "80",
         "LastUpdate" : "2015-11-01 21:45:44",
         "Name" : "Gas",
         "Notifications" : "true",
         "PlanID" : "11",
         "PlanIDs" : [ 11 ],
         "Protected" : false,
         "ShowNotifications" : true,
         "SignalLevel" : "-",
         "SubType" : "YouLess counter",
         "SwitchTypeVal" : 1,
         "Timers" : "false",
         "Type" : "YouLess Meter",
         "TypeImg" : "counter",
         "Unit" : 1,
         "Usage" : "0 m",
         "Used" : 1,
         "XOffset" : "155",
         "YOffset" : "486",
         "idx" : "336"
      }

I think you specify what subtype it is (gas or power) during the addition from devices -> domoticz counter (IIRC). So that get's lost. This needs a very easy but very dirty hack

Type="Youless Meter" & Usage contains 'm' = gas
Type="Youless Meter" & Usage contains 'Watt' = power

- I fiddled with Homebridge today, it's awesome!

- iWatch first? do you want me to put an iWatch on my wall then?

And, you can't charge more for iWatch support. You could for the 'Domotix for iPad HD deluxe pro (c)' version.

On a serious note: I bet there are more people in the Domoticz community with an iPad (on the wall) in need for a good interface then people with an iWatch = $$$.

But since today, with the new version, the webinterface got a whole lot snappier so I can wait for a little bit

Maybe some other stuff / thoughts:

- the sliding from the tabbed interface back to the homescreen is fairly 'hard to do' (maybe a cute little home button left top is better)

- The representation of the statusses (motion-detection for instance) is now translated as 'on' or 'off'. an icon would bump the awesomeness factor by 2.0

- Weather stuff (and people should use the forecast.io, because that's awesome):
forecast.io also gives you a prediction, would be awesome to have that as well, maybe on the homescreen even

There's a really big space left on the bottom of the homescreen. Maybe you can put (some of)the favorite devices or scenes there for speedy access?

The integration on the todayscreen is nice, but when switching a server from 3g to wifi (automatically or not) the refreshing takes quite long rendering it useless (it's built for speedy access, but the waiting time is annyoing (not your fault, I know .. )

I know there's a lot of people criticising the price versus the functionality, but I really like the clean and simple setup of it. And you don't want to setup or configure your domoticz box, you just want to control or view it.

I'm using this app from a few months and I like it very much!
I updated to Domoticz V2.4312 because I need the "selector" option in sensor but this kind of functionality isn't working in Domotix.
¿Are you going to include it?
Kind regards

Hi, I am looking into it, and started some experimenting in domoticz. I am not sure, you're the 1st asking for it.

is there an wiki about how to instal the app? I can't connect it to my server

Posted: **Saturday 05 March 2016 20:54**

After upgrade to Domotix version 1.0.13 my Youless meter isn't available anymore, any suggestions how I can solve this?

Posted: **Saturday 05 March 2016 21:00**

Same here!

Hi,

This issue will be fixed, thanks for reporting!

Other bug as well: after update, cannot connect to server anymore:

Should work fine in the homebridge-edomoticz plugin... if there’s an issue with it being incorrectly detected as not within temp category then you need to raise an issue either in it’s thread or it’s github repo.

Did you update Domoticz as well? I think the issue is with the latest version of the server, as I experienced the same issue, and switched to basic auth for now.

I was on 'latest beta'. Now on V3.4911, same problem. I'll try deleting / reinstalling in a bit.

-edit-

Nope, it just does not connect. Didn't change anything (yet

)

-edit

I overlooked your Basic-Auth setting. Weird because I didn't change that. Works now!

Posted: **Monday 07 March 2016 21:35**

Oh and I love the new camera view in the 'lost space'

*thumbs up*!

Any ideas on the youless's disappearing? And a 'fix' for the youless with gas-firmware?

Keep up the great work, love it!

Just bought this app.
I could not connect by remote address. So I tried it later at home with local ip-address and after Some trial and error it worked.
So far so good, I do like the interface.

But... Without the possibility to connect from the Internet it makes it useless when not at home.

What could be the problem, is there a workaround or solution under way? The update this morning (08-march-2016) didn't solve this problem. Please help. Thanks in advance.

It connects fine. Just put the correct portforwarding in place and connect to your public ip. (requires some basic networking knowledge, I agree, but this is not App-related

)

Sander

It connects fine.

Ok, it works fine for you, but not (yet) for me. I have basic networking knowledge

I use Pilot (over the Internet with port forwarding

without any problems, just like it works ok by using Safari/Chrome (iPhone/iPad) etc. (also with port forwarding (8084) of course).

What could be (done) wrong?
