Domoticz

- specific to Domoticz-Zigate and any other plugin that wants to write into the plugins/foo directory, the systemd unit file needs to include something like this:
https://gitlab.com/dpocock/domoticz-deb ... ervice#L49

ReadWriteDirectories=/usr/lib/domoticz/plugins/Domoticz-Zigate
ReadWriteDirectories=/etc/domoticz/plugins/Domoticz-Zigate

but that is just a hack, it is better if every plugin uses /var/lib/domoticz/plugins automatically

Domoticz-Zigate also wants to write to the config files in etc, those files probably need to live in var as well if they are managed by the process

It would be really nice if we could build the Zigate firmware as a package so that
a) people don't have to download it, they will just have it in /usr/share/zigate-firmware/whatever.bin
b) we have the consistency of building 100% of the stack from sources

The Domoticz-Zigate plugin also includes some firmware for specific devices (Ikea Tradfri):
https://github.com/pipiche38/Domoticz-Z ... TAFirmware

If we don't have source code for those then it may be better to keep them in a separate repository and a separate package that is installed to /usr/share/ikea/tradfri or something like that. Git users can still link it into their tree using Git submodules and package users can have a symlink to it.

If you are happy with this in principle, are there any other firmware modules that need to be distributed? Maybe it is a good idea to discuss them and the best directory locations collectively before doing any work on moving the files.

Has anybody had any personal interaction with NXP about their tools? It looks like they support Eclipse but has anybody asked them if they will support a plugin for Maven or Gradle or some other command line builds? Being able to do continuous integration (e.g. travis-ci or Jenkins builds) is a very popular requirement these days.

They reach a point where everything is lost from a Domoticz standpoint (most-likely not using the same folders)

Back with Domoticz, I just installed Domoticz on an Orange Pi 3 with Debian Buster, but I have a problem installing the Zigate plugin.

I followed the procedure here:
https://danielpocock.com/domoticz-packa ... an-fedora/
But when I run the command: $ sudo apt install domoticz-zigate-plugin
I have this message in return:
domoticz-zigate-plugin: depends: domoticz but it is not installable: unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Do you have any solutions ?

Have a good time.

sudo apt update

dpkg --list | egrep -i 'domoticz|zwave'

Can you suggest any additional logic that the packages should include to avoid this or migrate data?

pocock wrote: ↑Tuesday 20 August 2019 14:35 Can you provide all the output from that command?

Did you try

Code: Select all

sudo apt update

pocock wrote: ↑Tuesday 20 August 2019 14:35 It says something is held, can you try

Code: Select all

dpkg --list | egrep -i 'domoticz|zwave'

and share the output?

N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-arm64/Packages' as repository 'http://apt.debify.org/debify debify-buster-backports InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'arm64'

For me, after installing the Domoticz and Zigate packages, we must have to migrate Databases and Config file. This has to go through a manual steps as it will be hard to detect if there is already a pre-existing installation.

if [ -d /usr/lib/domoticz/plugins/Domoticz-Zigate/.git ];
then
  echo "You already installed the plugin from Git, please manually move the existing plugin directory aside"
  echo "and backup your configuration before installing this package"
  exit 1
fi
