Dashticz bash / python script not working

Hi there.

I have a "Broadlink RM3 mini" which controls my mini receiver. In Domoticz I have created buttons for things such as turn on/off, volume up/down, set input to MD, CD, Aux and so on. These button work by triggering a DZVents script. Everything works fine as long as I push the buttons inside domoticz. However if I push the same buttons in dashticz they do now work.

The script I is stored in a folder on the pi in /home/pi/scripts/anlaeg.sh:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/python /home/pi/BlackBeanControl/BlackBeanControl.py -c $1 &
The dzvents script looks like this:

Code: Select all

return {
	on = {
		devices = {
			'Anlæg*'
		}
	},
	execute = function(domoticz, device)
		domoticz.log('Device ' .. device.name .. ' was changed', domoticz.LOG_INFO)
		if device.state == 'On' then
	        if (string.find(device.name,'on')) then
	            os.execute('/usr/bin/python /home/pi/BlackBeanControl/BlackBeanControl.py onoff')
	            print('Switched Anlæg on or off')
	        elseif (string.find(device.name,'CD')) then
	            os.execute('/home/pi/scripts/anlaeg.sh cd')
	            print('Switched Anlæg to CD')
	        elseif (string.find(device.name,'LP')) then
	            os.execute('/home/pi/scripts/anlaeg.sh aux')
	            print('Switched Anlæg to LP')
	        elseif (string.find(device.name,'Stream')) then
	            os.execute('/home/pi/scripts/anlaeg.sh md')
	            print('Switched Anlæg to Stream/radio')
	        elseif (string.find(device.name,'op')) then
	            os.execute('/home/pi/scripts/anlaeg.sh volup2')
	            print('Anlæg volume op')
	        elseif (string.find(device.name,'ned')) then
	            os.execute('/home/pi/scripts/anlaeg.sh voldown2')
	            print('Anlæg volume down')
	        end
	   end
	end
}
All of the buttons are "push on" button with a 1 second delay for turning off again. I also tried putting the script directly inside the on action of the button as "script:///home/pi/scripts/anlaeg.sh on" for example. As you can see in the dzvents script I have tried both using the wrapper function (anlaeg.sh) and the python directly. The wrapper approach works if I push the buttons inside domoticz but not if I push them in dashticz.

Any tips would be appreciated

I solved it! Apparently Dashticz always sends an "Off" command for push on or push off buttons... Changing my script to trigger on the off event and changing the buttons to "Push off" worked

Hi all,
Can someone please help me get back to a normal life by sharing a PI3 image with a pre-installed Domiticz including the Broadlink plugin?

I have tried everything in this forum and beyond during 4 days but I did not manage to make it work :( .

Your help will be much appreciated, very very much.

Thank you
