@deejc, @Nautilus, @Jem101 - your devices should now be supported...
Thanks, I can now see all my temprature sensor and humidity sensort as well However, for some reason the power / consumption meters are not coming up anymore (they were available before I did the update). Also, this is probably because of my noobness in the Homekit area, but I wasn't able to come up with a method to update the iOS Eve-app without resetting the Homekit configuration. Eve couldn't connect to the accessories anymore after the update and I was not able to add any accessories. After the reset I was again able to add Homebridge as a new accessory, but in the process I lost of course rooms, Siri names etc... Is this expected in updates like this or could I have prevented it somehow?Marci wrote:@deejc, @Nautilus, @Jem101 - your devices should now be supported...
Ok, thanks for the info. Then it is better not to invest too much time on those just yetMarci wrote:No way to preserve at the moment. The Homebridge developers are working on this at the moment.
Post the json output for your power / consumption sensors as a new issue over on GitHub pls.
Had a quick glance over this - nothing I can immediately spot that would be stopping it from working (plus I use exactly the same setup for my own electricity meter, and it's all coming through without issue). Will have a ponder tonight...!I posted a new issue with the energy meter json output. It's a virtual meter that gets data from PVoutput service (where I load it from a CurrentCost EnviR meter). Not that important for my personal use to have it in Homekit, but something I noted that was different from the previous version.
Ok, interesting. And as mentioned it was showing up fine before the latest update so I also thought there probably should not be any specific reason for it not to work after the update. Maybe I'll just need to restart the Homebridge if e.g. for some reason the PVoutput devices were "unreachable" or something like that when I started it the last time? I'll check it again later in the evening...Marci wrote: Had a quick glance over this - nothing I can immediately spot that would be stopping it from working (plus I use exactly the same setup for my own electricity meter, and it's all coming through without issue).

Code: Select all
"description": "Configuration file for (e)xtended Domoticz platform.",
"platforms": [
{
"platform": "eDomoticz",
"name": "eDomoticz",
"server": "127.0.0.1",
"port": "85"
}
],
"accessories": []
}
For reference - this issue was resolved - the Sensor Types for the updated Power Service in Eve.app were set to hidden... always worth checking that if a new sensor type doesn’t appear.Ok, interesting.

A lot means 196 devices. I used the latest Domoticz image so there is no legacy plugin. I have followed the instructions and have used the config.json file from the frontpage. I have adjusted that file so it did not load the platfrom section. When i do that Eve will connect to Homebridge but obviously there are no accessories.Marci wrote:That’s the config for the legacy platform plugin. (Not even sure where you got that from - I removed it from the other post and deleted it’s repo from github a week ago!)
You need to delete eDomoticz.js from homebridge-legacy-plugins/ if it exists and install the fully fledged homebridge plugin via the instructions in the original post of this thread. A valid config.json example can be found on the frontpage of the github repo
And define ‘a lot of devices’ - that issue references specifically 100+. You can get your total device count from the Devices page of the Domoticz web interface.

Thanks.deejc wrote:do you need to see 196 devices in homekit ?
make a roomplan, add in the devices you do need and then you wont have that problem..
Yes, forgot to re-activate those after resetting the Homekit configurationMarci wrote:For reference - this issue was resolved - the Sensor Types for the updated Power Service in Eve.app were set to hidden... always worth checking that if a new sensor type doesn’t appear.
