Domoticz

Posted: **Monday 22 June 2020 9:27**

Hello,

not sure where to post this question, please advise !

I've installed a Pi with raspbian and domoticz. I don't use it for anything else.

Domoticz is supposed to launch at start up, and the status is nice :

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/domoticz.sh status -l
* domoticz.service - LSB: Home Automation System
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/domoticz.sh; generated)
Active: active (exited) since Thu 2020-06-04 15:01:43 CEST; 2 weeks 3 days ago
Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)
Process: 441 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/domoticz.sh start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

juin 04 15:01:43 raspberrypi systemd[1]: Started LSB: Home Automation System.

nevertheless, I can't connect to domoticz web page, unless I do a

sudo /etc/init.d/domoticz.sh restart

Were could this come from ?

BTW, startX also systematically fails to run.
(I tried with a screen pluged in the HDMI port, but I can only get command line)

Thanks in advance for advice !

This seems to be a known error, caused by the raspberry not having the correct time when domoticz starts.
The simple solution is to put a cron job entry like this:

Code: Select all

@reboot sleep 60 ; sudo /etc/init.d/domoticz.sh restart

this restarts domoticz 60 seconds after boot.

Just to make this clear for you. Domoticz is not running.

Active: active (exited)

means it is exited.

If domoticz is running, the status would be:

Active: active (running)

domoticz need restart at pi start-up
