Domoticz

Hi,

running Domoticz beta version Version 4.10532 on an Rpi3b+

I want to create a blockly script for a virtual switch (lighting 1, X10 On/Off) I have created in domoticz, but it is not listed in blockly devices/switches.
This is strange because I have several of these virtual switches which are all listed in blockly devices/switches.

Somebody any idea why it is not listed?

I had the same issue and if I remember right I switched to another browser or cleared browser cache, or maybe restarted Domoticz...

Clearing the browser cache did the trick! thx

One more thumbs up for Richard1! It was an old question and solution but helped me a lot!

with some browsers it is also sufficient to press the Shift key and F5 (reload). Then the switches are displayed.

I had this issue too and found that going into the settings page and clicking Apply Settings even though you've changed nothing also made newly created devices appear.

Hey folks, i ran into the same issue, but things might be a bit different and possibly this is a bug:

Steps: went into Setup->Hardware and created a Dummy switch, gave it a name, pressed OK and the notification tells me it has been created.
(nb it says i should be looking for it in the devices, not switches) <-probably legacy code
At that moment the switch shows up in the Devices list (used, for some reason, maybe that's new) and like expected with a "used" switch it shows up at the bottom of the "Switches" page.
I went there, clicked Edit on the new switch and set the following:
Switch Type: Selector
Selector Style: Button set
gave it three level names: Off, Low, High and kept the default level values.
Pressed Save.

After that, whichever browser or device i use it doesn't show up at the bottom of the Switches page any longer.
Curious thing is i can still see it in Setup->Devices and if i exploit the "edit-url" like "https://mydomain.tld:9191/#/Devices/IDX/LightEdit", i can still edit it. Also the device DOES show up in the app on my phone in the switches section. There, if i set it as a favorite, it DOES show up in the browsers on the Dashboard, but still nothing in the Switches page.

None of the mentioned tricks work;

- restarting domoticz
- clearing browser caches
- trying different browsers
- changed the theme to default

As i was writing these steps down i figured the "trick" of making it a favorite via the app might work around this(and it did partially), so there is no immediate need to resolve this at this moment because i can work with that for now.
Going further, i noticed in the app on my phone it mentioned something (to late now to remember now) like it's state was undefined. Once (via the dashboard) i set the selector switch to "Off" it DOES appear in the switches page!

TLDR: i think the switches page does not show any (newly) created selector switches for which no initial state is defined. This might be a bug in the code that modifies the switch from a normal on/off into a selector switch. I guess that helps the devs

So actually i was able to resolve this myself, but who knows somebody else might run into this issue, the obvious trick is to set it as a fav in the app on your phone, select a state through the dashboard and your switch now appears like expected. I verified that you can remove it as a favorite after that and things behave as expected.

A small addition to the solution of clearing the browser cache with ctrl+F5; there was an update pending for Firefox due to which the cache couldn't be cleared. After updating Firefox the switch was visible!
