Honeywell RFG100 gateway with Domoticz on Windows

I have installed Domoticz on Windows and it is working. I have added using "Evohome via script" a controller and zone, but I am stuck at home I synchronise these with my system. I have read the wiki page - https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Evohome, which describes adding python and and the evohome client, but all the commands are for Linux. While I might ultimately put it on a Linux server, I'd like to get it going on my Windows laptop first.

What steps (possibly a subset of those on the wiki page) do I need to do in order to link my RFG100 to Domoticz on Windows?

Hi,

It's been a while since I've played with setting up the RFG100 scripting in Windows, but I've still got it all set-up on my machine so hopefully I can help. Here are the steps that I think I followed:

Installed Python 2.7.0 (that's the version that I'm using)

Downloaded the evohome client zip from Github

Unzipped the Evohome Client files to a directory (I put them in c:\Evohome)

Created the scripts shown in the wiki in the same directory, but named them .py rather than .sh so that could run OK in Windows

Ran evoconfig.py to create all the devices in Domoticz.

Created a simple windows batch file that I could set to run every 5min to update the temperature values:

Code: Select all

cd c:\Evohome
c:\Python27\python.exe evo-update.py
I'm sure these steps have some gaps, but hopefully it's a helpful start. I tried to track down the forum messages which I followed, but could locate them.
