@patoo77, can you add an option that rooms can be hidden in the Pilot app?

And please remove the option that a roomplan can be deleted in the app. I did that because I was thinking it was only removed in the app, but then the roomplans are also removed from Domoticz.
I have (had to be precise ) quite some roomplans and deleted these by accident from the app.

Other items can't be deleted from the app, so then it's better that deleting a roomplan is also not possible.

P.S.
Also when you put a $ in front of the roomplan name, the roomplan is not shown in Domoticz, but it still is visible in the Pilot app. So that's not an option.

Sorry you ran into this kind of trouble! You found out the hard way that everything is synced both ways between Pilot and Domoticz. And that's actually a feature!
However not many people use room plans so I don't get that much feedback for it.

Adding those to the feature request list:
* warning before deleting a room plan
* add a "hide room plan" switch

Maybe future idea: store notifications in app..??
Then I don't need any other notification app any more.

You can already send notifications from your Domoticz server to Pilot actually.

Check Pilot's website, there's a tutorial about it

Unless you mean something else?

Yes I know. I meant notifications stored in the app. Sometimes I have multiple notifications that I know only can see in Notification Center of iOS. Maybe in app read back option? You understand??

@patoo77, I have some more requests

1) Is it possible that for the Switchtype Contact the Status is shown in stead of Data? It's now showing Open, Level:100% when the door is Open. If you show the status then the more logic value is shown.

Code: Select all

"Data" : "Open, Level: 100 %",
"Status" : "Open",
"SwitchType" : "Contact",

2) The same applies for Switchtype On/Off. In some cases the field Data also shows the level, which is not necessary for an on/off switch. The field Status shows the correct value.

Code: Select all

"Data" : "On, Level: 100 %",
"Status" : "On",
"SwitchType" : "On/Off",

Code: Select all

"Data" : "Off, Level: 93 %",
"Status" : "Off",
"SwitchType" : "On/Off",

3) Can you check if the new Selector switch http://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic ... r&start=20 can be implemented including the button options?

4) Can you use the field Rain for a Rainmeter? Now the field Data is shown which has no relevant info.

Code: Select all

"Data" : "0;826.7",
"Rain" : "0.0",
"Type" : "Rain",

Thanks and let me know if I have to give some more information.

I see. What you need is a way to check for older notifications. Can't you store those in the Domoticz logs instead?

@G3rard: thanks a lot, it really helps. I will take a look at these data.

Just Looking for a way to get rid of pushover app

This is a big thank you for Patrick.
I had some trouble connecting to my Domoticz with the app, and after some mail exchange between Patrick and me it is working.
A big plus and KUDOS

I have connection problems also every now and then, what was the solution for your problems?

[peerkersezuuker]

Unfortunaly no solution.
I created a guest user and esay password for Patrick to use on my domotciz for trouble shooting.
It worked fine for him, so in domoticz i reset the user to myself with difficult password, restart domoticz and vola, it worked.

Hi Peer,

Glad we figured it out, even though it’s pretty weird.
There has to be an issue somewhere. You’re not the first one reporting this kind of weird login issues.

Let me know if you have any other problems/suggestions/feedback.
Cheers,

P

So no real sollution yet, but for the quick responses KUDOS.

I just added sound on notifications. Doesn't require an app update, it should just "work".

You mentioned you switched on the sound for notifications. For me it seems the sound only works on my Apple Watch. When I leave the watch at home and use just my phone, I don't get any sound, just the pop-up. Is there something I need to change or is this also something you should switch on the server-side?

That's weird. It should work for both.
Make sure you checked the "sound" setting in your iPhone settings, in the Pilot section?

Here is the screen i am talking about (French but you should figure it out).

I checked the settings, they are all OK. Could be just an issue with my phone (or my ears ). Maybe I'll try to reinstall the app and see if that solves it...

I tried, but now I also only get sound on my watch.
When I do the same with Prowl (disconnect watch) I do get sound on my iPhone.

[patoo77]

Well that's odd...
I guess you're punished for having a watch

I will take a look

@Patoo,

Did you made any progress on solving the errors will be logged by Domoticz at each startup (or reconnect) of the Pilot App, like discussed earlier in this topic?

In short, I constantly get this error:
2016-02-03 10:45:45.878 Error: Failed login attempt from 127.0.0.1 for 'PilotUsername' !

After this error the App works fine, until I restart Pilot or if the connection is lost.

I have NGINX as a reverse proxy (as described in the Wiki) between the internet and Domoticz, both running on an RPI. Unlike my first setup authentication is now still done by Domoticz (so 127.0.0.1 should not be in the "local networks" list in Domoticz).

It makes no difference if I change Domoticz authentication from Login Page or "Basic Auth".

So it looks like something is not implemented right during the first handshakes after startup, or because NGINX does some translation back and forth?

Can you replicate this behaviour? (you can also set up NGINX as described in the Wiki. I'm not yet using X.509). Domoticz version is 2.3530 stable.
