Domoticz

Posted: **Thursday 29 September 2016 11:04**

Hi Madgeni,
I'm still in the same predicament here. I've grabbed the latest version, zipped the folder and 2 files but it still fails on test as it says it can't see the domoticz.js . I'm certain I'm doing the upload procedure correct. If I download the code, I get a zip file containing exactly what I uploaded.

Incidentally, the lamda page I see doesn't have "Add Event Source" but "Add Trigger"

PS Much kudos for all the hard work

I thought the "domoticz" needed the .js suffix, but that just gives
Code: Select all
"errorMessage": "Cannot find module './node_modules/domoticz-api/api/domoticz.js'",
The pages I'm seeing in lamda are also different to those in your docx.... enough head scratching for one day

You need to specify -r (recursive) on your zip command, perhaps?

I've tried this using both N. Virginia and Europe (Ireland) regions and still can't get Alexa to discover my devices, although the lambda test works. I know you said it's the link from the skill to the lambda, Madgeni, but I can't seem to get to the bottom of it. As a last resort I deleted all the skills, lambdas and security profiles I'd created and started from scratch, but no joy.

Has anyone got this working in Europe?

Cheers,

Lard

Hmmm.... I can see the logic of the -r argument but not how to apply it via the web console.
It may be down to how I'm zipping it. I'm using Linux so there may be a difference in how Linux creates .zip files.

I'll try to

Code: Select all

chmod -R 777

it and see if that helps.

Thanks for the tip

Hi, I run Domoticz on a rapberry B+ (latest beta). I am waiting for the release of the Echo Dot next month (already ordered), but I decided to go with the HA Bridge (Hue emulator) for integration.
The bridge is installed on the same Pi and CPU is 10%, memory is 15%.
I've set up all the switches and thermostats I want to voice control and these work through the HA Bridge web page, I used the json calls that I use with Android Tasker.
But I can't find any information on retrieving data from the Pi, like temperature of rooms. Does anyone know how to do this yet?

I am also trying to control my Lifx lamps, the wiki has info for the beta API of Lifx, the API is out of beta and the controls on their test site don't match the wiki. I tried modifying the commands but ended up with the same errors that are experienced with the beta commands in LUA.
I don't want to have to say "alexa, tell lifx, turn on the wall light" or anything like that. I want to say "alexa, turn on the wall light"

Found lifxlan on github, now have dummy switches calling python scripts for on and off working through HA Bridge I'll use the Lifx skill for dimming and colours when I get the Dot.

OK, I've just spotted that even if I create the lambda under N. Virginia, when I link the account it uses the European (layla...) redirect URL (as is evident if I only have the US redirect URL in the allowed return URLs in the security profile).

Could that have anything to do with it? The fact I'm attempting to run my skill in Europe with a US lambda?

Having said that, it doesn't work if I create the lambda in Europe either

Again - has anyone got this working in Europe?

Cheers,

Lard

looks like N. Virginia only at the moment.

I took your advice and chmod -R everything prior to zipping and it worked... Thanks!

Now it looks like it's not getting authorised by my Domoticz server. I get remote access via https;//xxxxx.ddns.net which works fine via BT Homehub but I just can't get domapi.js to see it grrr

Hi all - sorry, in Frankfurt today, so early start!

Right, glad you've made some more progress Blackdog65 - i have the same challenge around Virginia/Ireland.
I ended up defaulting back to the Virginia one also.

Re: Skill link redirecting to the wrong Lambda - I had this also, but in reverse. So when I had the lambda in Ireland, it was redirecting to virginia. I ended up putting both redirects into my security profile - try that if you haven't already.

At last! I get the lamda to run. Latest hassle was all down to remote access. bypassed my current method and used pagekite... yay!

Now to try and get it working with the app

Ok - here's my skill and security settings - hopefully they will be of some use

very odd. my security profile doesn't have a "Web Settings" tab.

I have the skill "Domexa" Installed now, but no devices found. I've been back and forth looking for typos. Console testing finds devices, so the lamda function is running ok. Just a matter of pinpointing the error in connecting the two halves... somehow.

Hi -

can you access it via this:

wow! Same security profile but by a different door... they like to make hard don't they?

Many many thanks

I'll give it another try after taking the kids to cubs.

Hi Madgeni,
I've fired up the latest version of code (had to set the code run time to 20 sec in order for it to complete!)
I've run through the output and I think I've reduced the list to one of each type hopefully.
Some items in the 200 range are devices rather than scenes as I forgot to increase the scene numbering.

Summary
Code SHA-256

As you can see some things have been tagged temp when they are not, I guess temp is the last available label.
Hopefully the output will assist with finessing the code

The EQ3 stuff is an app called maxbuddy pulling from an EQ-3 cube and pushing into Domoticz.
The weather station is a pull from weather underground.

If you want any thing else run / checked etc. just shout.

ok, so the logic *should* be checking the Type in Domoticz, and if it starts with Light, it's a light, if it says Temp - you get the idea

Can you check your Domoticz and in Devices tell me what some of those devices that aren't temp sensors say?
Sorry, because I don't have Temp sensors, and the Node module i use didn't handle device listing that well, i've had to guess and improvise!

Also, 20 seconds is a long time..! Mine's hosted in the virginia instance and takes 1.5

can you get the App skill working yet, or are you still testing in the lambda? Would be nice to know it's at least able to control your lights/scenes for you!

Posted: **Thursday 29 September 2016 22:31**

Hiya,
I think this is the full list of device types

Code: Select all

Unit								Type							Sub Type									Notes

Oragon Temperature / Humidity Unit 			Temp + Humidity				THGN122/123, THGN132, THGR122/228/238/268

WUG Weather Station						Temp + Humidity + Baro			THB1 - BTHR918, BTHGN129

WUG Weather Station						Wind							TFA

WUG Weather Station						UV							UVN128,UV138

WUG Weather Station						Rain							WWW

WUG Weather Station						General 						Visibility

WUG Weather Station						General 						Solar Radiation

EQ-3 Max! Heating Controls				Temp							RUBiCSON									Thermostat

EQ-3 Max! Heating Controls				Temp + Humidity				Rubicson/IW008T/TX95						Radiator
Valve

Blinds								Blinds						RollerTrol, Hasta new								Has Up/Down/Stop

One Wire Sensor (My Sensors)				Temp							LaCrosse TX3

Temp&Humidity Sensor (My Sensors)			Temp + Humidity				WTGR800

Lux Sensor (My Sensors)					Lux							Lux

UV Sensor (My Sensors)					UV							UVN128,UV138

Yeah, regarding the timing I have an IDX list of 271 at the moment. It takes a while to chunk through them.
Same speed from Dublin and N Virginia.

Still no luck connecting from Alexa (Discover Devices)
Fails to find anything and Lambda does not show any connection / compute time, so currently at a bit of a loss with that at the moment.

Hope the above helps

Kevin

Posted: **Thursday 29 September 2016 22:39**

Ok - so to regain some confidence - for all of us! - that this works, i've reverted it to just Lights and Groups for now.

I've triple-checked this is working, and no doubt driven my wife mad with my remote testing alexa discoveries

For avoidance of doubt - running lambda in W.Virginia, and using the workaround oauth settings (so not amazon account linking - which is probably fine, but i've spent enough time on this over the last couple of days

):
auth url:
https://ve0kyj5tp5.execute-api.us-east- ... horization
Client id:
alexa-skill
scope
alexa
Client Secret: (can be anything)

access token URI:
https://ve0kyj5tp5.execute-api.us-east- ... ccessToken
privacy policy url:
https://ve0kyj5tp5.execute-api.us-east- ... vacyPolicy

I'll work on Temp discovery and control over the weekend - offline - and will release it when i'm happy.

Hi,
Bit stuck at the moment -
I am following the word doc instrunctions, and have come to this point -
You will now see several tabs –
Go to Event Source:
Add event source – select Event Source Type – Alexa Smart Home

I can't figure out where the button is for event source, does anyone have any idea where I can find this.

Thanks,
amz

Go to the Triggers tab instead, add a trigger, select Alexa Smart Home

the id is the application id from the skill i.e something like amzn1.ask.skill.1d023177-ce35-4377-8339-dd0fd132xxxx
