I have checked this and you have to disable the iCloud Keychain (Sleutelhanger) and afterwards enable it again. So not the iCloud sync.
If the Keychange is being used then I think that information will be gone after disabling. I am not sure as I am not using the Keychain other than for Eve.

Hi

So I got this running after some issues with installing npm.
I added some devices and scenes, they are see and I can control them.
Added a new scene which was became available in Eve as I had to restart npm.
I added a pnother scene, but it doesn't show up in Eve now.
Should I restart homebridge or should it become available by itself?

Looking great for the rest, now if only speech recognition would be a bit better in Siri

Do other stuff than simple switches work for you?
Or is this a restriction of the HomeBridge Domoticz shim so far?

For example I can't see temperature or motion sensors.
They also don't appear in the log of homebridge when I start it in the terminal.

Switching Lights and power plugs works without a problem.

Here's my config:

Code: Select all

{
    "bridge": {
        "name": "Homebridge",
        "username": "CC:22:3D:E3:CE:30",
        "port": 51826,
        "pin": "031-45-154"
    },

    "platforms": [
        {
            "platform": "Domoticz",
            "name": "Domoticz",
            "server": "192.168.2.108",
            "port": "8080",
            "roomid": "2",
            "loadscenes": 1
        }
    ],

    "accessories": [
    ]
}

Room ID 2 is a room called "HomeKit" where I added some switches and sensors for testing.
But HomeBridge will only recognize the switches on startup.
I removed anything beside a switch and a temperature sensor for this log for you:

Is there anything that can be configured to support more accessories?

My Setup is an Raspberry Pi with Z-Wave Module (Razpberry).
The OfficeLight is a Fibaro PowerPlug with a light bulb attached.
The temperature sensor is a Fibaro multi sensor, which works fine in Domoticz, but not in Homebridge.

Hi guys,

I'm now using a freshly installed Jessie image with a manual install of Domoticz, which runs fine, however when I follow the wiki the step "npm install" gives the following errors:

Code: Select all

pi@RPIDomo2 ~/homebridge $ npm install
npm WARN engine [email protected]: wanted: {"node":"~0.10.0"} (current: {"node":"4.0.0","npm":"2.14.2"})
npm WARN optional dep failed, continuing [email protected]

This is possibly related with the fact that sudo dpkg -i node_latest_armhf.deb installed node 4.0.
After this warning, the process continues until it really hits errors:

Code: Select all

After this lots more errors.

Can anybody give me some pointers how to resolve this?

* EDIT * Did some Googling and found this solution to remove the second warning and the errors: sudo apt-get install libkrb5-dev
Hope it now goes well...

Ok, to my earlier question: The Domoticzs platform shim only supports switches so far, no sensors.
Let's see if we get this hacked into the domoticz.js.

Ok, I've got the basics running. Only start-up at boot is not working.
First I tried forever as instructed on the WiKi but that didn't seem to do anything. So I uninstalled Forever, and tried pm2.
Looks like everything works fine if I test it interactively and check with "pm2 list", however at boot nothing happens.

This is what syslog looks like:

Code: Select all

Oct 10 15:53:22 RPIDomo2 pm2-init.sh[435]: [PM2] PM2 Successfully daemonized

So Homebridge is not started. I did do "pm2 save" and also checked etc/init.d/pm2-init.sh

Any other logs I can check to find clues?

Another thing, Homebridge is always loading all my scenes, while in de config file I specified no scenes.
This is my son-config.js

Code: Select all

{
    "description": "Configuration file for Domoticz platform.",
    "platforms": [
        {
            "platform": "Domoticz",
            "name": "RPIDomo",
            "server": "127.0.0.1",
            "port": "8080",
            "roomid": 2,
            "usescenes": 0
        }
    ],
    "accessories": []
}

It makes no difference if I use quotes, like: "usescenes": "0"
Without quotes is like it is done in the example config-file.

Ater no successful boot try.
pm2 list
pm2 resurrect
pm2 list

If output will be the same, then the problem is in PM2 start. Another way you have not correct do "pm2 save"

Thanks for your reply. I have tested it, and this are the results:

Code: Select all

So it it is not resurrected. But if I start the process with the following action manually, it looks like it is running, but it does not work; the app can not connect:

Code: Select all

pi@RPIDomo2 ~ $ pm2 start /home/pi/homebridge/app.js --name Siri

└──────────┴────┴──────┴─────┴────────┴─────────┴────────┴─────────────┴──────────┘

Strange thing is, that when looking which process are running I get this result:

Code: Select all

pi@RPIDomo2 ~ $ ps -aux | grep app.js
pi         887  6.0  3.8 134036 38376 ?        Ssl  17:46   0:05 node /home/pi/homebridge/app.js

If I stop the process from PM2 with "PM2 stop all" and then start the Homebridge with "npm start app.js" it all works fine, but there are 2 process running:

Code: Select all

pi@RPIDomo2 ~/homebridge $ ps -aux | grep app.js
pi        1079  0.0  0.0   1900   424 pts/1    S+   17:50   0:00 sh -c DEBUG=* node app.js || true "app.js"

Summary:
- "pm2 start /home/pi/homebridge/app.js --name Siri" is not working when it is started manually. The App can't connect.
- This is not persistent after a reboot, even if I do "pm2 save"
- "npm start app.js" is working fine, so configuration is Ok

Try
pm list

pm2 start /home/pi/homebridge/app.js --name Siri

It`s look strange to me to see "uptime 0s"
I alway see 1-2s

Hi,

If I try pm2 list after a short while it show an uptime > 0 seconds.
See how it looks like just after a reboot:

Only strange thing is, that if I look at the output log in /home/pi/.pm2/logs everything looks normal, but the last lines are:

However if I start the home bridge interactively with: npm start app.js the last lines, are (unit the iOS app connects and more http traffic is logged):

By the way, I solved the issue why the scenes where always loaded!

In the configuration file you should not use "usescenes": 0 as indicated in this forum, but it should be "loadscenes": 0
I have updated the Wiki with this info.

I have now added some RFX-com enabled lights to the Room that Homebridge/Siri is controlling, that works except I can only set a maximum of 15% for all dimmable lamps.
Why is that? I did not configure anything for these lamps in Homebridge. Does anybody knows how to change that?

I control my Hue Lamps, via a direct connection between homebridge and the hue bridge. Dimming and color-setting for these lamps works perfect.
Only lamps that I control via the Domoticz-Homebridge connection can only be dimmed to a maximum of 15%. So it looks like there is a bug in the Domoticz-platform shim. Or in the Domoticz API?
Does anybody experience the same?

Yep, I've got the same issue with LWRF dimmers, it only dims up to 32%.

I think there is a bug with the MadDimLevel variables in domoticz.js, I've overwritten it to 100% and it works fine for me, but I'm not a javascript guy so I've not worked out the implications.

There's also something weird in that Siri doesn't recognise any dimmer commands, but they work from within the app. Strange!

Let's see if we get this hacked into the domoticz.js.

Siri does not support sensors.

That's not true.
Here's a screenshot using Elgato Eve Room and Siri on the Apple Watch:

And after looking at the FHEM shim of Homebridge I think they already support more than switches...

I did some research: if I use the JSON command (as is used by Homebridge platformshim) to retrieve all devices from Domoticz with:
http://ip-address-of-domoticz:8080/json ... order=Name

This is the output for one of the lamps:

Code: Select all

      {
         "AddjMulti" : 1.0,
         "AddjMulti2" : 1.0,
         "AddjValue" : 0.0,
         "AddjValue2" : 0.0,
         "BatteryLevel" : 255,
         "CustomImage" : 0,
         "Data" : "Set Level: 93 %, Level: 93 %",
         "Description" : "",
         "Favorite" : 1,

         "HardwareName" : "RFXCOM",
         "HardwareType" : "RFXCOM - RFXtrx433 USB 433.92MHz Transceiver",
         "HardwareTypeVal" : 1,
         "HaveDimmer" : true,
         "HaveGroupCmd" : true,
         "HaveTimeout" : false,
         "ID" : "0907196",
         "Image" : "Light",
         "IsSubDevice" : false,
         "LastUpdate" : "2015-10-18 22:26:29",
         "Level" : 93,
         "LevelInt" : 14,
         "MaxDimLevel" : 15,
         "Name" : "DimmableLamp",
         "Notifications" : "false",
         "PlanID" : "2",
         "PlanIDs" : [ 2, 16 ],
         "Protected" : false,
         "ShowNotifications" : true,
         "SignalLevel" : 7,
         "Status" : "Set Level: 93 %",
         "StrParam1" : "",
         "StrParam2" : "",
         "SubType" : "AC",
         "SwitchType" : "Dimmer",
         "SwitchTypeVal" : 7,
         "Timers" : "false",
         "Type" : "Lighting 2",
         "TypeImg" : "dimmer",
         "Unit" : 4,
         "Used" : 1,
         "UsedByCamera" : false,
         "XOffset" : "66",
         "YOffset" : "54",
         "idx" : "25"
      },

As you can see it has a "MaxDimLevel" : 15, so that explains perhaps why in Homebridge/Siri this translates (at least to the Eve App) as a maximum of 15%.
However this MaxDimLevel should have been calculated to 100%.

Also you can see that this lamp currently has a "Level" : 93 which corresponds to the actual setting of 93% which scales to the indicated "LevelInt" : 14 (on the scale of 0-15).

This is what should be done in the Domoticz.js code as well. I can see some code doing this, but I'm not a programmer so I can't figure out where the bug is. I hope someone else can?

Mmm, for me it does recognize dimmer commands; eg. I can say "set the diner table lamp at 20%" With my Philps Hue lights that works perfectly.
