@GreenSmart01
You did not install all requirements. Make sure to run the following command:
sudo easy_install flask flask-auth configobj gitpython simplejson bleach requests

@Lars65
Yes, it is no problem to run domoboard on a seperate RPi. Just config the domoticz server address and it should work (see general_settings) example.conf

@felix63
A cam can be added like this (example is a foscam):
[[camera]]
Camera = http://x.x.x.x:88/cgi-bin/CGIStream.cgi ... xx&pwd=xxx

Thanks, that works! I do have some additional questions.
- I am now trying to add motion sensors and door contacts, any suggestion how I could do this
- having two blocks of switches can I change the title? see example below
- how can I add Buienradar and Traffic-info?

Code: Select all

[woonkamer]
  [[display_components]]
    components = switches[1],switches[2]
  [[switches]]
	[[[1]]]
    staande lamp  = 10, dimmer
	strip = 325, dimmer
	[[[2]]]
    iris  = 11, rgb
	kubus = 79, dimmer	
	schotel = 335, dimmer
	spotjes = 506, dimmer

Hi felix63,
- The door contacts and motion sensors are a bit tricky to answer because can't test with them but if they work just as switches it should work
- At the moment it is not possible to change the title but that's a small fix which i will implement later today
- To add Buienradar and traffic-info you can do the following to you config:

Code: Select all

[woonkamer]
  [[display_components]]
    components = switches[1],switches[2], buienradar, anwb
  [[switches]]
	[[[1]]]
    staande lamp  = 10, dimmer
	strip = 325, dimmer
	[[[2]]]
    iris  = 11, rgb
	kubus = 79, dimmer	
	schotel = 335, dimmer
	spotjes = 506, dimmer
   [[buienradar]]
   [[anwb]]

But first you must install the "verkeer" plugin from the settings menu.

Nice Dashboard.

Question,
When I install the ANWB plugin I get the below messesaage when I try to start domoboard:

Error occured during loading imports for the plugin anwb. Please check whether all dependecies are installed

I installed it both via the setting menu and via the manual method both eith the same result.

What am I missing?

Just pushed the solution for you're title problem to the develop branch.

If you use the following config in the future it will change the switch title when the new code has been pushed to master:

Code: Select all

[[display_components]]
    components = switches[Title 2],switches[Title 1]
 [[switches]]
   [[[Title 1]]]
    staande lamp  = 10, dimmer
   strip = 325, dimmer
   [[[Title 2]]]
    iris  = 11, rgb
   kubus = 79, dimmer   
   schotel = 335, dimmer
   spotjes = 506, dimmer

In my test situation it worked even with spaces so it should work with you to.

hmm i think that we can work on the error messages. The ANWB plugin does use modules which are not default installed and i think that you don't have some of them.

Code: Select all

pip install geocoder natsort

Installed and running. Tested some things, Will try to suit the dashboard according to my situation. Only one important question (at the moment

)
When I closed the terminal session after starting up Domoboard, Domoboard turned out to have shutdown. Can someone tell me how I can prevent that so it keeps running in the background?

Yup that did the trick except that I had to use "easy_install" instead of pip.

This should do the trick:
sudo apt-get install screen
screen -S flask
Start domoboard in the screen

You can attach back to the screen with screen -d -r <number of screen>

I'm not a Linux expert, but is this screen thing the right thing to do? Won't you loose your connection after a reboot of the Pi? For another program that needs to run all the time, I was advised (and now use) Supervisor to always start a certain program after reboot.

Thanks for your prompt reply!

Regarding Motion Sensors and Contacts. For Motion Sensors using regular switches seems to work as the report 'On' or 'Off'. Contacts however report 'Open' or 'Closed'. The result is that when you use a switch the status is always reported as 'On' regardless off the true state of the switch (Open or Closes).

@Jake

Just run Domoboard within PM2, then Domoboard runs on the background even without a SSH console

jump to the Domoboard directory, and issue;

Code: Select all

pm2 start python server.py -- -c settings.conf

Where settings.conf is the same file as example.conf, but with a different name

To make sure that the above is restarted at reboot;

1.

Code: Select all

pm2 startup

2.

Code: Select all

pm2 save

@Greensmart01 does the console still have the same modules missing or has the error message changed after the last command?

this is because you put the parameters in the wrong order, what do you get when you run the code:

Hello,

I have an other question about the ANWB plugin.

I was able to install it and added teh startPoint en endPoint values to the general tab in config file and also added a [anwb] section.

But when I start domoboard I get the below messages:

Code: Select all

I think my entries in the config file are not correct but I can not find more deteail information on how it should be exactly.
Can you please give some more detailed information on how to add the right config file entries for this plugin.

It seems like you're config settings aren't correct indeed. An format for the address could be:
[[anwb]]
startPoint = "Korte minrebroederstraat 1, Utrecht"
endPoint = "Korte Nieuwstraat 6, Nijmegen"

These points are working on my test situation, so hopefully it will work at your's to.
