SIMULATOR
No hardware? try a Modbus simulator: https://sourceforge.net/projects/modrssim/
-----------------------------
So i am using Domoticz (again) now for 3 days (before that trying OpenHab) and see it's maturity has grown since the last years!, very nice! so i installed it all again....and still no Modbus, M-bus, KNX, KAKU TCP-200/300 support!

I also use pymodbus to readout and switch some Modbus stuff you can read here on this page: http://domoticx.com/io-interface/

So.....after many many hours of learning and experimenting...trial and error (since python 3 is pretty new for me) about how to build a Domoticz Python plugin, i have almost finished the first Modbus plugin for Domoticz !!

DomoticX - ConX domotica platform (in developement Q1/Q2 2020)
So...because we are releasing our new hardware domotica line-up for Q3-Q4 2020 called ConX....we also want to support Domoticz!
ConX uses USB to RS485 conversion and 12VDC or 24VDC PoE support for all your devices, it uses RJ45 jack and is RTU based! it's a all-in-one wired and robust domotica system suitable to be placed on a DIN rail.

It will be for sale in Q3-Q4 2020, so..stay tuned!

About modbus thingies...

Last week we have made a practical board to test all modbus stuff out for or new platform ConX, in wich you can create and add you own modbus devices easily!, stay tuned!

Ps. There will be 2 universal plugins, one to READ and one to WRITE

Really great work!

Any chance you will include Modbus TCP support as well?

[Domoticx]

Really great work!

Any chance you will include Modbus TCP support as well?

Well that should be possible i have to merge/abuse some settings then

Also i don't have any Modbus TCP laying around, so i can write psuedo code so people can test it out!

[Domoticx]

So i had to crank some (serial) settings into eachother (stopbit, bytesize, parity) to make some room for more settings, because domoticz officially supports ONLY 6 extra fields....

Alright....the Modbus WRITE v1.0.0 has been released! Enjoy!

Now i will write the Universal READ plugin...

Stay tuned!

Great and what about 3 phase metter? any cheap supported device?

[Ricard1]

Hi @Domoticx

Big thanks for initiating Modbus support to Domotiz!

I am soon going to replace my home Ventilation unit and new one will have Modbus...

Best Regards,
Ricard

Hi devros,

It's a universal modbus plugin, so it wil work with all modbus appliances!

No problem let me know if it works as it is intended or if you need any help.

[EdddieN]

Is there a Like? This is fantastic! Great work

[winnie]

Hi @Domoticx,

Thanks for sharing the plugin. It looks great !
But i have a problem. I can't fill in any parameter.

Any idea?
Thanks Erwin.

[Domoticx]

Hello Erwin,

That is really strange, i use the same domoticz version, and i got all the options , i assume you restarted domoticz like:

Code: Select all

sudo service domoticz.sh restart

Or rebooted it?

It seems the XLM layout (plugin) isn't loaded somehow.... i cannot recreate your situation on my pi...

Can you test:
Open a browser to the domoticz log window, and a putty session and use

Code: Select all

sudo service domoticz.sh restart

What does the log say?

[winnie]

Hello Domoticx,

Thanks for your suggestions.
I have restart domoticz several times wihout results.

Here a copy of the log file, baybe you see something wrong...
Greetz and thanks in advance,
Erwin;

What could this be?

Code: Select all

Python EventSystem: Module not found - Trying to initialize.

[winnie]

I also noticed this error, find out if there is something to find about this.

[Domoticx]

Indeed wierd..... i have a higher python version (stretch image)

This is my log:

Also the same error (can be common though)

2018-01-14 18:22:50.494 Python EventSystem: Initalizing event module.

But it loads the plugins nicely!

Have you installed pymodbus:

Code: Select all

sudo pip3 install -U pymodbus

Aslo a thing noticed is that the log should say Modbus - Universal READ loaded. because it's stated in the python file:

Code: Select all

    def onStart(self):
        # Domoticz.Log("onStart called")
        if (len(Devices) == 0): Domoticz.Device(Name="ModbusDEV-READ", Unit=1, TypeName="Custom", Image=0, Used=1).Create() # Used=1 to add a switch immediatly!
        DumpConfigToLog()
        Domoticz.Log("Modbus - Universal READ loaded.")
        return

on plugin load and the message is also gone on my side (plugin loaded correctly though), really wierd, hopefully someone can shed a light on this
