Domoticz

gb160 wrote:Hi there, hoping someone can help a noob with what I'm hoping is a really stupid question.
I'm running Domoticz on a raspberry pi, I've got my lights and central heating all working and can operate my harmony hub with no issues.
i have an air conditioner operated via the harmony hub, however it only has one power button, the same o button turns it on and off.
I've got the switch setup so that it operates ok, on turns it on, off turns it off.
However I've set up a scene called bedtime that switches all my lights off in the lounge, turns the air conditioner off, and turns on the bedroom lights.
The issue is, when i go to bed, the air con gets turned on if it is currently off....if the air con is running when i hit the bedtime scene, it turns off correctly.
Im banging my head against the wall as i can't see a solution....anyone ???

You need discrete on & off infrared codes.
You can contact logitech and ask them for it or contact the manufactury of the airconditioning.
You also might look here:

Or make a bash/lua bedtime_script that will send IR signal only if status is on.

Many thanks for replying....and I thought that was the case,I don't think there's any chance to get the discreet codes for the device so I have been 'attempting' to use the bash method with a php script to check the current switch status, but with my limited programming skills this is proving a bit tricky !!
I didn't think it would be so difficult to do something as simple as "if device is on, do not send on command"....is this explained in more detail anywhere?

mkdir /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/bash
touch /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/bash/AC_Off.sh
chmod +x /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/bash/AC_Off.sh
nano /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/bash/AC_Off.sh

You need Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 on you windows PC.
Don't know how to install this and how to use it with domoticz, sorry

I'm stuck

Did everything in the wiki, but the last step gives me following error:

make: cc: Command not found
make: *** [HarmonyHubControl.o] Error 127

This happens when I execute: make HarmonyHubControl

Any ideas how I can work around this?


Thanks!

Thanks guys! I tried installing the GCC first but my head started spinning and I don't really know which procedure to folluw with all the different builds and versions...

Do I need it for something else?

Thanks!

Is this on the pi mate?...glad to hear it works for you.im having no luck with native support though seems to work ok for about two or three switches
Which beta version are you using ?
I've had to revert to the old method, it's very reliable, only drawback is that domoticz doesn't update if I switch the harmony from the remote, I can live with it though...I'd really like to get this native support working though.
