I have a wireless camera that sometimes loses connection to my network. I then want a dzVents script which turns off the camera via a Philips Smart Plug after 5 minutes without response and turns it on again after 1 minute. I use "System Alive Checker (ping)" to see if the camera is alive.
Can anyone help with a dzVents script?

Sure; what are the deviceNames, types and subtypes of the smart plug and camera (pinger device)?meyland wrote: ↑Thursday 23 July 2020 10:17 I have a wireless camera that sometimes loses connection to my network.

Re: Router or camera restart
Script could look like
Code: Select all
scriptVar = 'cameraReset'
return
{
on =
{
devices =
{
365,
},
customEvents =
{
scriptVar,
}
},
data =
{
cameraState =
{
history = true,
maxItems = 1,
},
},
logging =
{
level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG, -- change to domoticz.LOG_ERROR when all ok
marker = scriptVar,
},
execute = function(dz, item)
local noResponseTimeout = 300
local cameraPower = dz.devices(367)
if item.isDevice then
dz.data.cameraState.add(item.state)
if item.state == 'Off' then
dz.emitEvent(scriptVar).afterSec(noResponseTimeout)
end
elseif item.isCustomEvent and ( dz.data.cameraState.getLatest().time.secondsAgo >= noResponseTimeout ) then
dz.log('Camera did not respond within ' .. noResponseTimeout .. ' seconds to pinger. I will restart it now', dz.LOG_DEBUG )
cameraPower.switchOff()
cameraPower.switchOn().afterSec(60)
end
end
}

Re: Router or camera restart
I have now tried the script. When the camera goes offline, then the script is triggered and after 5 minutes the script are triggered again (as expected), but the plug are not turned off. I've checked the device indexes and they are right. I've also updated my domoticz intallation to version 2020.2 (build12230) with dzVents version 3.0.11)

Re: Router or camera restart
Indeed no errors but I expected another log line. I added some extra debug code. Can you please check and revert with all loglines ?
Code: Select all
scriptVar = 'cameraReset'
return
{
on =
{
devices =
{
365,
},
customEvents =
{
scriptVar,
}
},
data =
{
cameraState =
{
history = true,
maxItems = 1,
},
},
logging =
{
level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG, -- change to domoticz.LOG_ERROR when all ok
marker = scriptVar,
},
execute = function(dz, item)
local noResponseTimeout = 300
local cameraPower = dz.devices(367)
dz.log('isDevice: ' .. tostring(item.isDevice),dz.LOG_DEBUG)
dz.log('isCustomEvent: ' .. tostring(item.isCustomEvent),dz.LOG_DEBUG)
dz.log('secondsAgo >= ' .. noResponseTimeout .. ': ' .. tostring(dz.data.cameraState.getLatest().time.secondsAgo >= noResponseTimeout ),dz.LOG_DEBUG)
dz.utils.dumpTable(dz.data.cameraState)
if item.isDevice then
dz.data.cameraState.add(item.state)
if item.state == 'Off' then
dz.emitEvent(scriptVar).afterSec(noResponseTimeout)
end
elseif item.isCustomEvent and ( dz.data.cameraState.getLatest().time.secondsAgo >= noResponseTimeout ) then
dz.log('Camera did not respond within ' .. noResponseTimeout .. ' seconds to pinger. I will restart it now', dz.LOG_DEBUG )
cameraPower.switchOff()
cameraPower.switchOn().afterSec(60)
end
end

Re: Router or camera restart
I have checked and double checked the script and it is just as you wrote it, the only change I have made is the idx. The camera has idx 370 and the plug has idx 369
Code: Select all
scriptVar = 'cameraReset'
return
{
on =
{
devices =
{
370,
},
customEvents =
{
scriptVar,
}
},
data =
{
cameraState =
{
history = true,
maxItems = 1,
},
},
logging =
{
level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG, -- change to domoticz.LOG_ERROR when all ok
marker = scriptVar,
},
execute = function(dz, item)
local noResponseTimeout = 120
local cameraPower = dz.devices(369)
if item.isDevice then
dz.data.cameraState.add(item.state)
if item.state == 'Off' then
dz.emitEvent(scriptVar).afterSec(noResponseTimeout)
end
elseif item.isCustomEvent and ( dz.data.cameraState.getLatest().time.secondsAgo >= noResponseTimeout ) then
dz.log('Camera did not respond within ' .. noResponseTimeout .. ' seconds to pinger. I will restart it now', dz.LOG_DEBUG )
cameraPower.switchOff()
cameraPower.switchOn().afterSec(60)
end
end
}

Re: Router or camera restart
Maybe you misunderstood. In my last post I added a script with some extra debug code in. Can you try that one and show all resulting loglines?
That will help me to identify the issue.

Yes, you are right, I misunderstood you, sorry. I have now tried the new script, but it only gave this in the log filen:
Could it be a permissionproblem in the filesystem?

Re: Router or camera restart
I guess not because you should then see error messages in the log.
I cannot tell what your issue is based on these loglines but the added debuglines must produce many more lines in the log. I tested it on my system and you should see something like below.
Are you logging to an OS file ?
If not please do so to be able to debug this
The domoticz logfile location and other settings are defined in /etc/init.d/domoticz.sh
the relevant settings are in set to the DAEMON_ARGS var.
with an editor of choice
Code: Select all
DAEMON_ARGS="$DAEMON_ARGS -log /var/log/domoticz.log" # or any other OS file
#DAEMON_ARGS="$DAEMON_ARGS -loglevel normal,status,error, debug" # debug disabled for now
DAEMON_ARGS="$DAEMON_ARGS -loglevel normal,status,error" # these loglevels will make it to the logfile
#DAEMON_ARGS="$DAEMON_ARGS -debuglevel normal,hardware,received,webserver,eventsystem,python,thread_id"Code: Select all
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo service domoticz stop
sudo service domoticz start
sudo tail -f /var/log/domoticz.log

Re: Router or camera restart
I'm logging to a OS file in /var/log and the logfile does not contain any errors. I think there are som errors in my installation of Domoticz, but I can't find id.
I think the reset script dies at the line where "secondsAgo >= 20: true" should be printed without any error messages.

The first try it passed this and emitted the event.
What happens if you do

Re: Router or camera restart
I dont have a updatebeta in my domoticz folder. I have compiled domoticz today from github, so I think I'm on the latest build
Could it be something with dz.data or maybe cameraState? Are those datatypes saved ind the database or in th filesystem? I remember that I have some problems with the file scripts/dzVents/domoticzData.lua, because it not was owned by domoticz

Just copy it to your domoticz folder, copy your current domoticz binary to domoticz.local, execute sudo ./updatebeta and copy domoticz.local back to domoticz.
This will ensure you have all the supporting files and directories versions aligned with your domoticz binary version.

Re: Router or camera restart
I have the same problem with a Foscam camera, so this is a solution, thanks for that.
But on the website https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/System_Al ... ker_(Ping) at the bottom is the following text
"When running Domoticz without root (recommended), you need to add the correct socket capabilities for this to function properly (otherwise it will fail silently!): "
I don't understand, who can explain this to me ??
Or what is the correct rule for this?
$ sudo setcap cap_net_raw = + eip path_to_domoticz_executable
Thanks for the help.
