Grouping of sensor-widgets

Hello all,

I am a newby.

First some background-info.

I have 3 monitoring-systems running:
a) 1 Arduino with 433 MHz receiver to monitor 3 Temp/Hum-sensors, DS3233-RealTimeClock and 2 DS18B20-Temp-sensors.
b) 1 arduino with optical-sensor to record Elec-power-consumption and 1 IR-sensor to record gas-consumption; also with DS3233-RTC. (Waterconsumption being started soon.)
c) 1 synology-NAS, which calls every 30 minutes the Buienradar-JSON and extract the data I want (10 parameters from the measuring-station closest to me.).

All the data from above is written to MariaDB (MySQL) on the NAS.

In addition to this, a couple of Elro 400 switches, to control lights, blinds and the wood-stove-blower.

Since recently I have RFXcom433XL and Domoticz, both connected/installed on NAS.

I can write most of the data I collect to several dummy-‘equipment’ on Domotics. (Energy I still have to do.) I really like the graphical part of Domoticz.

Everything is done via PHP and it works all quite well. (Level of satisfaction: around 95%)

Now getting closer to my question(s):
But, If I look at the various widgets of each ‘sensor’, they are scattered over several windows, such as Weather, Temperature, Misc.
a) Is there a possibility to actually group the sensor-widgets into separate groups, so that when I want weather-results that they all together? (Outside Temp and Feeltemp are now some where between Fridge-temp and wood-stove-output.)
b) I have drawn all of the floors of my house in Autocad. Can I import these drawings into domoticz in order to make floor/garden-plans?

Your help will be appreciated.
Regards,
Leo

Hi,

Question a.

Not possible as far as I know. Would love to see it.

Question b.

Domoticz supports the following file formats: jpg, jpeg, png and bmp to use as drawings for floorplans
As far as I know you can export from AutoCad to bmp format, so that should work.
See: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/ ... B-htm.html

Otherwise with different conversion tools you can always convert to a suitable format.

Best regards

I am using the rooms option to place al sensors, switches and setpoints together. Instead of a room i give it the name off the process that they are used for.
It’s a bit of a work around but at this moment there is no other option.
