Hello Jos,
It would be GREAT if i could switch on a "per device" basis, but I THINK it is only possible to switch groups and scenes.
If I could switch groups it already would be a very good start. I don't need to do a lot of different things, just to keep the wife happy
As per the threat i found the "Groups and Network" portion.
There I go to the "+" on "group 2" of my remote (group 1 is the "lifeline" and 2 is the first button) and then I add the node-number of the Fibaro switch i would like to switch. It is node-number "010 (0x0a)" from my node-list.
But it "just does not "stick".
I tried "waking up" the remote before, during and after i made the change. tried a gazillion reboots of the Raspberry, tried to "wait it out".I also tried add the node-number as 10, 010, 0x0a, all with the same and consisten result......... nada.
I actually started using different browsers because by now i really don't know anymore.
As stated, all i can find is that this "thing" is capable of switching groups and scenes (again, i would be happy if it did) but that contradicts a bit with adding "nodes" in the "Groups and Network" menu.
ALSO, when i try to change the default behaviour of a button from the default "switch on/off and dim" to "switch on/off only" it just does not stick.
I tried this in the Domoticz properties screen, but also in "node management / control panel". Just nothing sticks.
What i ALSO tried was going to a "group" (in the scenes tab) then "edit" a group and try to add an "activation device". just getting "timeout" there.
So some of the fundamental questions:
- In the latest version of Domoticz, should it "just work" or do i need to alter .xml files like in the very beginning of this post?
- In "groups and Network" do i use the "+" off the remote and then add the node(s) I want to switch?
- If "yes", then what notation do i use? (10, 010 or 0x0a)
- Is it then required to add "and activation device" under the scene tab in Domoticz for the group i want to switch.
- Would it be possible to "debug" this contraption to actually see if "something" or "anything" is actually "happening" (irrespective of the result or success)
- are ANY of my assumptions mentioned above accurate or am i completely barking up the wrong tree here?
