"Connection" issue between Dashticz and Domoticz

I've got this...

You are using a recent beta. Good

Where are you in the debug process? (see one of my previous posts)
Step 1,2 3 or 4?

Same problem on my side.

You are using the master version of Dashticz. The beta version is more robust, but probably requires you to make some changes in your CONFIG.js and/or custom.js. Especially with the font-awesome fonts.

Ok, thanks. I'm migrating to the Beta version now. How can I check which version I'm on?

If you have enabled the top bar then in the upper right you see the settings icon. If you press that one there is a tab 'info'. On that tab you see the dashticz version.

or:
you go to your dashticz folder. The file './version.txt' contains the version info.
but this only exists in beta, not yet in master

Great, thanks, useful information, this is what I'm getting from the version.txt file:

Code: Select all

{
"version": "2.4.6",
"branch": "beta",
"last_changes": "Small change in garbage name mapping rules to support Dordrecht",
"changelog" : {
            "2.4.5": "Fix for cross origin issues with php",
            "2.4.4": "Fix HVC garbage data",
            "2.4.3": "Use local garbage.php module",
            "2.4.2": "Merge PHP OV Module into Dashticz",
            "2.4.1": "Merge PHP TV Module into Dashticz",
            "2.4.0": "Upgrade to fontawesome 5.0.13"
            }
}

So I'm on the beta version!

What is strange is that on the Mac Chrome browser I cannot reproduce that error anymore, but on the tablet using Fully Kiosk Browser I still have the same problem: "Domoticz error! Check your patch to .........."

I believe I found the problem, I get the error message on both the Mac Chrome browser as on the tablet.

I get the error when I change the light dimmer value, the slide bar, see screenshot

I believe this is the bug we are discussing.

Good!
The dimmer indeed creates a lot of network requests to Domoticz which may result in this error.
Probably it already is solved with the PR on github. See:
https://github.com/Dashticz/dashticz_v2/pull/405

We have to wait for Rob Geerts to releases a new beta version.

Hi, first of all: when working it looks like a great project. But right now I am halted and need some help.

After a short while (plm 1 day) I keep getting the dreaded red line to check my config.

I installed last tuesday (on an rpi) so I am on the latest and greatest: 2.5.10 beta and PHP 7.0.33-0+deb9u3

My CONFIG.js:
var config = {}
config['domoticz_ip'] = 'http://192.168.1.42:8084';
config['app_title'] = 'Dashticz';
config['domoticz_refresh'] = '5';
config['dashticz_refresh'] = '60';

this config worked for a bit. Tried the connection to a test domoticz (latest version), als worked for a bit.

When I run a tcpdump I see NO traffic to the domoticz_ip configured.
If I configure stuff like buienradar in this CONFIG.js, that part works, not the domoticz.

This really stumps me... no communication whatsoever.

Ok, for prosperity:

Dashticz does NOT retrieve this data server side but tells the browser where to get it. I was trying to show dashticz from a remote tunneled connection with no path to the actual domoticz.
Coming home and testing it there it was ok. My bad but this could be useful to others; if you wish to open dashticz from the outside you also need to expose domoticz AND you have to make sure internal and extenal names and ports are useable.
