Domoticz

In order to make your Horizon Box accept connection on the DeviceDescription.xml URL you need to make sure that you've enabled home network on your horizon box and configure that as you wish. Halfway you will get a question about media sharing, enable that and the URL becomes active.

On the one side it's responding with 200 to a variable if it's on, and the variable is empty when its not responding thus making it $null

Makes sense?

Even Ziggo could not answer my question

Next phase is also implemented. I had to change the scripts because i ran into troubles with the output to null where Domoticz would give unexpected behaviour.

Please note that i also have a Harmony Hub and controlling that via commandline with the program HarmonyHubControl https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Harmony_Hub_Control

I have the following two scripts on my domo now:

scripts://horizon/horizon_on.sh

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
HORIZON=$(curl -I  --stderr /dev/null http://<GATEWAYIP+1>:<PORT>/DeviceDescription.xml | head -1 | cut -d' ' -f2)

cd /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/horizon
if [ "$HORIZON" = "$null" ]
    then
        HarmonyHubControl <username> <password> <ip_of_harmony_hub> issue_device_command <device_id> <command>
fi
exit 0

scripts://horizon/horizon_off.sh

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
HORIZON=$(curl -I  --stderr /dev/null http://<GATEWAYIP+1>:<PORT>/DeviceDescription.xml | head -1 | cut -d' ' -f2)

cd /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/horizon
if [ "$HORIZON" = "200" ]
    then
        HarmonyHubControl <username> <password> <ip_of_harmony_hub> issue_device_command <device_id> <command>
fi
exit 0

please note that i have to CD into the scripts directory to make it work as the HarmonyHubControl uses an tokenfile to operate correctly. I could place that in the root or something but i'd like to keep that clean

After that i've created a dummy switch


and it goes like a charm!

next step, implement this script into an activity using the Harmony Remote via the HA-Bridge Philips Hue bridge emulator

Sure, the script is working. But the Horizon is not very cooperative. After a few tests with the status script and switching on/off with the ZiggoGo App a few times, the box is no longer visible on the network, not even for the ZiggoApp. It doesn't show the time on the display, just an orange LED.

A hard power cycle was necessary to get it going again...

for some reason svalue=On does not work

change the script to nvalue=1 works!

 $status = "1&svalue=On";

$status = "0&svalue=Off";

$status = "On&svalue=1";

$status = "Off&svalue=0";
