Zigate and group management in Domoticz

Hi all,

For some Ikea remotes (or other devices) to work properly in Domoticz, you have to add them to groups.

Here it says how: https://github.com/pipiche38/Domoticz-Z ... -Remote.md

In this step by step manual, it states the following:
Phase 1: bring everyone on the Zigate network
Put the Zigate in pairing mode. I suggest that you put 255 for the Permit to Join parameter. Make sure that you have also enabled 'accept New Hardware' in Domoticz settings.
Enable 'group management' :
You must have the following entry in Domoticz-Zigate plugin file Conf/PluginConf.txt 'enablegroupmanagement':'1', The file will looks like that:
{
channel':'11,15,19,20,25,26',
vibrationAqarasensitivity':'medium',
resetMotiondelay':'30',
enablegroupmanagement':'1',
logLQI':'0',
logFORMAT':'0'
}
However, in my install, there is no file called PluginConf.txt Only PluginConf.json, which is well, the json file.

Must I make this file myself, or do I have to re-install the plugin?

Thanks.

Tonka

The documentation is a bit out-dated.

The best is to use the Web Interface, that you can reach on port 9440

https://github.com/pipiche38/Domoticz-Z ... terface.md
https://github.com/pipiche38/Domoticz-Z ... igation.md

On teh Web Interface you have to enable Group via Settings and then you can create your group under Group Management

Is there a request hidden in your post? 😬

I can give it a shot..

How does this work? Is there a text template available that I can translate?
