Domoticz

For me dimming of a regular lamp (RFXCOM) works fine, however if I try to dim a Philips Hue lamp this does not work.
I can move the slider but after releasing the button it always returns to a value < 10%
If I change the dimming from the Domoticz web interface everything works fine and the status in Pilot is updated after a "pull to refresh".

You should display that one before the 0 (at the end), so 1390 in this case, which is the current usage of power.

Same with SBFSPOT (Smaspot) solar power, please also show current usage instead of numbers like: 5335.64 8Kwh.

In both cases, domoticz calls this Actual:

Indeed, the interface needs to be revamped.
I am working on it, it is taking some time, but the next version will bring lots of new stuff, hope you guys will like it.

Hello, there was another update last week but still this is not fixed, any idea on this? thx

I installed the app and unlocked the location service. Created a dummy switch and set everything in the app.
I can acces the domoticz server from outside with the app (switch light on and off).
But the geo don't work. When i'm at home nothing happens, the dummy switch doesn't turn on?
I turned the location service off and on in iphone but that doesn't help. In location service the app is allowed to use location service.
I must tell that a have a jailbreak.

Edit;
It is working. Just had to leave the house and come back.

Hi all,

I've been using Pilot with Domoticz on a Pi for a while now. It's working allright, but I have a problem I can't seem to find a solution for. I use the Pilot app mainly for geofencing. The thing is, when I move around the house or into the garden, the app constantly sends messages that I either leave the house or have returned. It even does this when I move from the kitchen to the living room, and although I have to say that I live quite nicely, the house is not THAT big

I tried moving the slider in the location tab to get a bigger circle around the house, so maybe that'll solve it, but that doesn't help. Anyone experiencing the same problems or maybe there is someone with a solution? Thanks in advance.

Create a virtual switch that defines if you're home.
Than use a lua-script that changes the virtual switch 1 or 2 minutes after the geofence switch changed.
do nothing it it changes back within that time

I have this (maybe not the best, but it works)
It would be nicer to make it more flexible and do a check on the state, but I was too lazy for that..
I have >120 and <180 because somehow my lua-scripts only seem to be fired each minute


t1 = os.time()
s = otherdevices_lastupdate['Geofence']

year = string.sub(s, 1, 4)
month = string.sub(s, 6, 7)
day = string.sub(s, 9, 10)
hour = string.sub(s, 12, 13)
minutes = string.sub(s, 15, 16)
seconds = string.sub(s, 18, 19)

commandArray = {}

t2 = os.time{year=year, month=month, day=day, hour=hour, min=minutes, sec=seconds}
difference = (os.difftime (t1, t2))

if ((difference > 120) and (difference < 180)) then
if (otherdevices['Geofence'] == 'On') then
commandArray['Virtual Switch']='On'
else
commandArray['Virtual Switch']='Off'
end
end
return commandArray

Thanks Immo!

Your post made me build my first lua script, which is nice

It's in use now, so I'll let you know if it works.

Unfortunately, whilst I get less notifications with running Immo's script, Pilot still thinks I'm leaving the house when I move from kitchen to living room...

Somehow I need to broaden (?) the range in which Pilot thinks I'm home. I don't know how to do that.

Have you tried using the geofancy app instead? A bit off topic but it looks like you are able to define a much larger radius with that which could rule out or confirm the cause being distance from the house..

Any chance of adding iBeacon? Would solve the location service issue being 3 miles wide if wifi is off. Can pick up an iBeacon for £12 these days..
Cheers

Do you have an example of how the url should look like?

Geofancy supports iBeacon.

Have been busy with replacing the bathroom in our new home. I installed geofency, but the problem persists. I don't know how to solve this. Isn't there anyone that is experiencing the same problems?

just downloaded this app, looks sweet so far!

is there any plans to make the security panel work good in this app?. I dont like to burn battery with geo fence. and also use the Armed Home option a lot but it really sucks to use this on the phone currently

I'm also wondering when we can expect to have a new release, it has been quite some time now.

I would also really like to see more functionality in the geo-locate code. ability to change if the switch is set on or off when away or home. I would also like to set the server polling to set the switch in a on or off state.

Somehow I think there's something wrong with the geofencing function in my Iphone. Both geofancy, Pilot and my Hue geofencing functions don't seem to work properly. At the moment I'm not using geofencing. Maybe another Phone will solve the issue.

I have exactly the same issue. Before the last iOS update Geofancy worked flawlessly. Today, it sometimes works and sometimes not, which is very annoying.
I have an iPhone 6 running on iOS8.3. Tried removing Geofancy, removing and recreating the geofence itself but nothing works. It seemsthere is an issue with Geofancy and iOS8.3

Oh no, I hope not. I just got an iPhone 6 plus today running IOS 8.3. I'll be gutted if Geofancy doesn't work properly anymore

Since yesterday it seems that it is working again. However, there has not been an update to either iOS or Geofancy (last update: 23rd of May).
I'll keep an eye on it for the coming days to see whether it continues to work every time I leave / enter a geozone.

I think I have a bug too with Pilot.

Most of the time the geofancing works fine, but for some strange reason he thinks that I'm nearby my house while entering the city-center. That is roughly 3 kilometers away!
