Domoticz

I've been working on upgrading from a Pi B+ with Weezy and Domoticz 2.xx to a Pi 3 with Stretch and the latest Domoticz.

It seems everything is working great except for mochad. I can build it just fine, but when I echo any commands to nc 1099 it just hangs forever.

Has anyone else tried mochad with Stretch? I could just go to Jessie instead if I had to. I would just like to upgrade to the latest when possible.

I've tried mochad 0.1.16 and 17.

So I've given up on Mochad, and X10. Time to upgrade to something more modern.

SOLVED!
Had the same problem with Stretch and Mochad. Found a useful workaround. (after hours of searching )

Just add a timeout (-w1) of 1 second to your nc command:
This works great for me. I've updated my domoticz_main script.
Even more secure, now mochad can never cause the proces to hang.

Hello, i have this also, mochad crashing domoticz after a while. I am a linux newbie, so before i go search for hours, could you tell me where or how to put:
echo "st" | nc -w1 localhost 1099
this?

maybe i put it in rc.local or in .bashrc, really i have no clue, please could someone help me or explain to me where i can put this.

I can type it on the cli, but where do i put it so it will start when the pi starts? Thanks in advance.

Ok ill put it in ~/.bashrc

thanks for this.
