My doorbel (picture and message) already functions with a LUA and curl using the Telegram Bot. Already happy with that but chatting to Domoticz and receiving info back would be very nice

Brutus, could be easy could be difficult, it depends on whether you have the Lua libraries available for Windows or not. If yes easy, if no then why not move to Linux. So you need to find socket, ssl and json Lua libraries for Windows. Simon

I installed the bot once but could read and switch instantly everything, just by knowing the name of the bot.

At the moment there is no check, so if you know the name then you can use the bot.
See my earlier post in this topic for a solution I made so the bot only reacts to a known user/group. In the meanwhile simonrg is having a look at this as well.

Not sure what's going on here, doesn't seem to like individual non-alphanumeric characters, I have patched the code to ignore them. Installing the new version mentioning in early post using Git should solve this problem.

Looks like its difficult then.

In order for dtgbot to work under Windows somebody needs to have translated the libraries that handle connection with the internet from Linux (which is the basis for OSX, IOS, Android, ....) into the Windows way of working, this is non-trivial particularly for https as Windows has a different protocol/security model.

So in order for Lua to control Domoticz by http you need the Lua socket library, in order to talk to Telegram you need https this is the Lua SSL library and you need to JSON to be able to interpret what is recieved from either Telegram or Domoticz.

Lua for Windows doesn't appear to have the LUA SSL library. You need to Google / ask on a Windows forum. This might be somewhere to start - http://notebook.kulchenko.com/programmi ... and-luasec.

Brutus wrote:I can use https in lua (with CURL) for telegram in domoticz. Isn't this good? because you are refering to a Lua SSL Library?
JSON is also available in Domoticz?
That socket Library isn't but you found it already in the internet.

I'm not good in scripting. So I need some help to get this working. But only when you are willing to!

It won't run and i did not get a new dtb.log or dtb.log.errors.

It wil run in putty with

When I do

Code: Select all

lua5.2 dtgbot.lua

it's working because now the pid file is there.

sudo service dtgbot stop
sudo service dtgbot stop
sudo service dtgbot stop
ps -ef | grep -i dtgbot
sudo kill "followed by process number of any dtgbots still displayed above"
ls /var/run/dtgbot.pid
sudo rm /var/run/dtgbot.pid
sudo service dtgbot start

simonrg wrote: dtgbot.lua checks for the pid file, but the service won't start if the pid file exists, equally if multiple versions of dtgbot are running things won't work, so if something has got out of sequence, then things can seem all wrong.

So my best bet is to try this sequence, basically stop any versions of dtgbot that you are running on the command line, stop the service several time, check to see if dtgbot is still running, kill any versions that are running, then check that the pid file does not exist, delete the pid if it does exist and then try starting the service again. What happens?

Edit: when I start the previous version of dtgbot (renaming the folders first) that works.

Renaming the files means that the dtgbot in /etc/init.d is still the same, which is good, if you move /etc/init.d/dtgbot without removing the service, then Linux will still remember the old version and things could get strange.

How do you access your Raspberry Pi, ssh?

No log file is created. I access the Pi via SSH (Putty) and with WinSCP.

Code: Select all

cd ~/dtgbot

All should be well then.

I need to learn how to set up permissions correctly in github, when transferring files from Linux to Windows to github to Linux.
