You can see the changes to the code in each commit.

If you would like to test, you should be able to replace the files using the following commands (replace your-path-to-homebridge-edomoticz by the directory where your edomoticz plugin is installed). A backup of your old file will be made, so you can always revert the changes.
Code: Select all
cd <your-path-to-homebridge-edomoticz>
sudo wget --backups=1 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ksacca/homebridge-edomoticz/master/config.schema.json
cd lib
sudo wget --backups=1 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ksacca/homebridge-edomoticz/master/lib/constants.js
sudo wget --backups=1 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ksacca/homebridge-edomoticz/master/lib/domoticz_accessory.js
Don't forget to restart homebridge once the files have been replaced.

Changes now merged into main git repo, and pushed up to npmjs alongside a few other changes (web-root, & a few TV Device fixes to allow for multiples) as v2.1.40
Any issues, log them on the git-repo.

A new version will soon be available. Due to a mistake, some crucial code was reverted. This is now fixed, together with another fix for blinds having subtype RFY and for Venetian blinds (EU and US) where there was still a state mismatch in some cases. Thank you @marci for the quick merge.

I've successfully installed eDomoticz and home bridge, and managed to get some devices into Home. The problem I'm seeing though in either trying to add an AppleTV as a hub to Home before home bridge or after home bridge breaks edomoticz, and the devices are stuck in Updating...

They work fine in the Accessories section of the Homebridge web page, so it must be something to do with the link between Homebridge and Home.

After adding the AppleTV, on playing around with switching home bridge on and off, I managed to get the devices to show up - but they are now extremely slow - maybe 30 seconds to activate.

on removing the accessory - AppleTV - all works fast and OK again.

HAs anyone else seen this - or have a solution?

Today I tried a second update to 2023.1 and have always the problem, that homebride-edomatics slows down homebridge. It seems, that some temperature devices make problems. I went back to 2022.2 and all is ok.

PS: Solved, I had to include 127.0.0.* to the list of secure networks.

Thanks a lot! Your solution of including (192.168.x.* in my case) to the trusted networks did the job. All my accessoiries are visible again in Apple HomeKit.
I also changed the server in the HomeBridge setting page of the homebridge-edomoticz plugin because of the much more strict security of Domoticz since version 2023.1 I had to create an admin user account. If Domoticz is set up to use basic or form login authentication, set Server to 'user:pass@ipadress'.

I'd like to replace my eurotronics-spirit zwave thermostats with homekit (perhaps eve) thermostats. Is there any possibility, to handle homekit devices in domoticz automatically or have I to use dummy thermostats in domoticz / homebridge and handle everything with events in homekit?

Hello since the last beta 15326 of domoticz the api is changed.
Domoticz produces the following in the log when edomotics plugin is started.
No problem yet but the api calls will soon be depricated and edomoticz wont work anymore.
Please refer to https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Domoticz_API/JSON_URL%27s for the correct new api calls and please change edomoticz calls accordingly thank you.

I saw a PR being merged for the homebridge edomoticz plugin: Merge pull request #264 from odelma/master at https://github.com/patchworkboy/homebridge-eDomotic.
Weirdly, the changes do not show in the repo unless I am missing something. These changes were supposed to fix my last error messages abour deprecated calls. As a result, also no updates to the plugin in Homebridge

.
Anyone any clue? Cheers...

I've got Domoticz 2023.2 running, with the eDomoticz homebrigde plugin, but no luck getting it working.

This is what I tried:
In Domoticz I added 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.0.*. It is connected to a remote shared port (Settings -> Security)

Homebridge started all okay, see below. When I try to add it to Apple Home (add accessory) it says allready added.
So the only problem is that my Domoticz scenes, swithched and lights don't show up in Homebridge i think? How do i get this fixed of get more info in logs?

What do you mean? I've done both the reset options in the Homebridge settings (Unpair everything and Reset Accessories) both not succesfull.

Not a single Accessory is loading, also not in the Homebrigde UI, whilst the connection with Domoticz looks good.

EDIT: after I restarted, I changed the config of eDomoticz back and forth again and restarted again, and now it works and shows my Accessories at least in the Homebrigde UI. Still not showing in my Home app...

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough, I meant by changing one letter in the name and username in the config of homebridge + restart of homebridge.

See:

Code: Select all

"bridge": {
   "name": "Homebridge eeff",
   "username": "aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff",
   "port": 5190,
   "pin": "123-45-678"
},

Thanks for your reply TroisSix, but I've tried this a couple of times but no luck. The accessories do show in the homebridge tab, but they won't show after I've added the bridge via 'Add Accessory' in my iOS Home app...

Anybody else any idea why my accessories show up in Homebridge-eDomoticz, but they are unvisible on my Home (or other, i've tried Eve) app on my iPhone, iPad and Macbook? Pairing the Bridge looks succesfull, but none of the accessories appear...

Edit:
Sollution
After strolling down the internetz looking for an answer, somebody suggested to tap Add Accessory again in the iOS Home app, click on "Other options..." and re-init the Bridge. This worked surprisingly!! Hopefully it helps somebody sometime

Glad to know it finally works for you

I often have a problem with homekit-homebridge-domoticz. When I ask a simple task like "Hé Siri, switch light garden on" all lights known in Homebridge switch on.
Any ideas what causes this or ho to troubleshoot?

In domoticz this is the logfile:

This also happens sometimes when I ask to set rollers to a certain percentage. It happens so often that I hardly use it because it takes way to much time to switch everything back off again.

Posted: **Thursday 09 November 2023 17:22**

I've managed to cause this sometimes by requesting to switch on a device but with a little bit incorrect name, still recognizeable though (or maybe similar to a room name). Not sure if this is a plugin or Homekit (/Homebridge) "feature". Luckily it hasn't happened for a long time.

I only have one room to avoid all those confirmations from Siri.
Here it happens so often that you would be afraid asking something.
