Domoticz

Hi all.

I’ve very new to this so please go easy on me. I’ve moved into a new rented house and it’s been very hard to keep warm. So I wanted to log some reading from multiple rooms as proof to the estate agent.

I’ve got Domoticz running in docker on unRAID.

From what I’ve seen you need a base station and the sensors communicate back using 433mhz?

Could any point me in the right direction on what to use?

Thanks

Hi.
Yes, you will need the system you are running domoticz on, and then a device to communicate with 433 signals.
I use the rfxcom https://www.uk-automation.co.uk/rfxcom- ... xoQAvD_BwE

You will then need compatible temperature sensors.
I got a cheap on from eBay - which I’m sorry I can’t fond the link for

You can then track the temp on all these.

If you are going to use domoticz for future ha as well as just this One of use, you could also look at other avenues such as zwave.

Personally, I now use the Philips Hue system for temperature. You would need the domoticz hub ( what ever you choose to run it on) - the Philips Hue hub - and then use their motion sensors, which detect motion, light level, and also temperature.

Better and cheaper is for you esp8266 with espeasy+ ds18b20. Connect this to domoticz is very easy.

Thanks for the reply’s.

I do have Phillips hue but the sensors look a bit expensive.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on the rflink?

ESP2866 + DS18B20 ( with ESPeasy firmware for example ) is good.

But maybe better for you will be something ready for use.

Try cheap Xiaomi.

You will need one gateway and humidity/temperature sensor for each room

ebay

example

Awesome thank you I’ll take a look

Do you already have a router or gateway with WiFi @2,4GHz?
Then application of ESP8266&ESPEasy is most easy, in combination with 1 Domoticz on a Raspberry.
The ESP8266es use the WiFi for communication.
Connect your Raspberry to the Wifi-router (dependent on type, either by cable, or by WiFi as well), and .
Just fit the ESP8266es with a temp/hum-sensor like DHT22 and you are in business: the ESP8266s act as 'satelites' for Domoticz.

Application of 433MHZ is also easy, but it is different kind of network, which could be less DIY than ESP8266es, more ready-made and usually more expensive.
To receive the signals at Domoticz@Raspberry you will need a transceiver/gateway like RFXCom or TFLink, and you need a set of compatible temp/hum-sensors.
In advertisements such as this one and here look for sensors which are 'compatible with T34C' and/or 'compatible with RFXCom/433MHz'.
