Could you please explain how to connect this to Domoticz?
Is there a plugin for this?

You simply connect to zigbee2mqtt or other zigbee hub.
I use it to send mqtt messages via a lua script to control devices. So created dummy switches and when they switch on or off it sends the required it code to mqtt.

I gave up this plugin and now I use this
https://github.com/eschava/broadlink-mqtt
Now I can control (Heat Pump / Tv / Soundbar / candles(LED) like this
from Dzvents script with executeShellCommand:
Code: Select all
topic= 'Broadlink/x/'..string.lower(folder)..'/'..string.lower(name)
-- Broadlink/x/tv/volminus --to reduce volume of my tv, so name above is the name of a push button
local CmdStr ='mosquitto_pub -t '..topic..' -m replay'
dz.executeShellCommand({
command = CmdStr,
callback = 'Retour_Mosquitto',
timeout = 2,
})
In Mqtt explorer:
- MQTTexplorer.png (12.45 KiB) Viewed 111 times
In fact the topic above correspond to the folder/file where the IR command is stored
- Folder where located the IR command.png (7.89 KiB) Viewed 111 times
The best : I copy the old IR commands from the python broadlink plugin (the .ini files) into the folder of the broadlink-mqtt (I renamed them and keep in, only the IR code) and it's working WELL!
There is also an automatic learning functionality of new IR code but I did not use it yet
I hope that would help someone...
