Domoticz

@bizziebiz,

I can confirm it too, I am running V2.2563 (stable) and I can see update each 10 sec in logs (even if there is no impulse from S0 meter). However my counter's stats does not increase and states all the time 0.000kWh as I mentioned before. Which version of domoticz (stable / beta) should I run and test to get it working?

I went here and did some of the examples.

Mine wouldn't count, now it does, not sure if correct yet.

I was fed up of hearing other had the same problem as me and I searched for ages and came up with this,

http://www.element14.com/community/mess ... face#93804

also put this in my PI2, something to do with RPI Update.

sudo apt-get --reinstall install libraspberrypi-bin libraspberrypi-dev libraspberrypi-doc libraspberrypi0 raspberrypi-bootloader

sudo reboot

Make sure you backup/be safe before any modifications.

I take no responsibility for doing this, however, I did do it and restored faith in my PiFace Digital 2.

Hope it helps.

This one seems to solve my problem. Before i had only 4 inputs visible in devices section of domoticz, now i see all inputs and outputs.. Will test in the evening if they are acting as they should. Thanks NickHead.

sudo apt-get --reinstall install libraspberrypi-bin libraspberrypi-dev libraspberrypi-doc libraspberrypi0 raspberrypi-bootloader

sudo reboot

Yes, it did with mine for a while, then it went wrong.

I am using a different approach now, so not sure on the status of this fix.

Regards

Nick

Oh good to see that there is a solution. It was so frustrating that it was not working correct.
At this moment I don't use the PiFace. I converted everything to MySensors and EasyESP. It's a bit more portable and easier to debug in my opinion. But who knows...

Thanks NickHead for the solution.

last thing which i have done like ten days ago was also disabling device tree:

sudo raspi-config
8 advanced options
A5 Device Tree

and reboot..

Now i'm on
Linux raspberrypi 4.1.7+ #817 PREEMPT Sat Sep 19 15:25:36 BST 2015 armv6l GNU/Linux

and

2015-11-21 10:20:29.822 Domoticz V2.3566 (c)2012-2015 GizMoCuz

and piFace is working all right..

hope that helps...

Hi,
I have been struggling big time with my Piface2 in domoticz.
After doing this fix, I have everything working smoothly.
https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/pull/426
try it and tell me
PS: This is has been already merged in master on github .. just "git pull;make" to get the latest when using source code

Hi,

Still having probems with this - setting the first parameter (enabled) in piface.conf to true sets the device up as Lighting 1 - putting it as false and I get no devices. What is the correct value for the piface.conf for a watermeter?

From my config:

Thanks. Tried that but still don't get the utility come up in the devices. Wonder what the difference is?

Wich kernel are you running? Today i did a rpi-update (new kernel 4.4.?). After that update my piface did not work anymore. After then i installed kernel 4.1.18+ again, everything worked as desired. I hope that history does not repeat (kernel related to driver piface)

Hi,

I'm using 4.4.13+ Maybe that's the problem. I'll try with 4.1.18+. ........

I tried it with 3.10.25+ and it still didn't work! So maybe not the kernel.

Hi,

At the moment my Pi B (2 Pifaces connected) is running 4.4.13+. Setting raspi-config > Advanced options > SPI enable.
Running 4.1.18+ Setting raspi-config > Advanced options > Device tree > disable.

The crux for me was setting the Raspi -config.

Perhaps you 've seen it : WIKI > Piface > General notes and connecting the SO bus.

My Piface is working... Just not the devices showing in Domoticz.

You set domoticz to allow for new devices right?

I don't exactly know how this is handled, but I suspect it needs to see a few pules when it is in "allow new devices mode"

No I didn't! I'll try that next.

Unfortunately no change

try running this on the pi and see if it kickstarts the piface

P.S. It is a python script

I use my piface to register my watermeter. What i noticed is that the RXFmeter only updates when i'am using water. When i'am not using any water for a while the RFXmeter becomes red. I thought the RFXmeter was updated every 10sec (count_update_interval_sec=10 in the piface.conf file).
In the hardware setting i have the data timeout for the piface board disabled, is this normal behavior?

Yes it is normal behavior.
