Grayed-out UI item in Utility Sensors

Just noticed something I've never seen before, a dark/grayish UI entry for one of my sensors:
Any idea what causes it?

Is this on the default theme?

It is working; didn't see it before. What could this be?
Br,

I have the same "issue" also with the water meter.

if fixed it by recreating the item via the GUI and not using a url.
it seems that this way the hardware type is not unknown anymore.

Doesnt that screw up the history?

Go into Hardware -> select relevant item and check off Enabled tick box ☑ then click update

In domoticz terms a device object is connected to a hardware object.
If the hardware object is disabled (look at the hardware tab of your GU) and the hardware is one of the Python plugins, the device object tiles connected to that hardware object are greyed out in the switches-, weather, utility or temperature tab.

Hmm... Strange... I recall it's always been the same, just not greyed out:

I dont think i ever had any hardware attached... And it is working as it should...
Very weird...

It should not be possible to create a device without a 'parent' hardware without entering it directly in the database using an external program.
Also: devices are removed from the system when the 'parent' hardware is deleted in domoticz.
I can only guess what's happened but assume that some time in the past the hardware that this device was connected to was removed with an external program or something else in the database happened causing the connection between your device and the 'parent' to got lost.
I don't see any direct issue for the state of the system other then the greyed out tile but to be sure I would reconnect it to one of your hardware objects.
To identify all devices without a 'parent' hardware and to show all hardware objects can you please do
Code: Select all
dzDir=/home/pi/domoticz # change to your domoticz dir
sudo sqlite3 --header $dzDir/domoticz.db "SELECT Name, Id , HardwareID FROM DeviceStatus WHERE HardwareID NOT IN (SELECT ID FROM Hardware)"
sudo sqlite3 --header $dzDir/domoticz.db "SELECT Id, Enabled, Type, Name FROM Hardware"

Followed this guide:
https://ehoco.nl/watermeter-uitlezen-in ... on-script/
Dont see any hardware created here if i'm correct. So maybe the guide is not good

The guide is not complete.
in the line
http: //192.168.2.152:8080/json.htm?type=createvirtualsensor&idx=29&sensorname=Water&sensortype=113 ,
29 is the hardware ID. You should change that number to the ID of one of your hardware objects and preferable your "Dummy (Does nothing, use for virtual switches)" hardware as it shown on the hardware tab.

Can i run that now still? Or will that mess up the history?

No don't do that. Can you execute the sqlite3 commands I posted earlier? With that information I can advise you how to solve it.

Sure!
Code: Select all
sudo sqlite3 --header $dzDir/domoticz.db "SELECT Name, Id , HardwareID FROM DeviceStatus WHERE HardwareID NOT IN (SELECT ID FROM Hardware)"
Name|ID|HardwareID
Water|43|29
Code: Select all
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo sqlite3 --header $dzDir/domoticz.db "SELECT Id, Enabled, Type, Name FROM Hardware"
ID|Enabled|Type|Name
1|1|67|Domoticz Internal
2|1|4|Slimme Meter
3|1|75|Evohome
5|1|64|Zonnepanelen
6|1|15|Somfy Alarm
9|1|78|Weer
10|1|15|Graaddagen
11|1|15|Tempsensoren

OK. You can do
Code: Select all
sudo service domoticz stop
dzDir=/home/pi/domoticz # change to your domoticz dir
sudo cp $dzDir/domoticz.db domoticz.db_keep # just to be sure
sudo sqlite3 $dzDir/domoticz.db "UPDATE DeviceStatus SET HardwareID = 1 WHERE ID = 43"
sudo service domoticz start
Check if OK.

Is that a reserved hardware ID? The internal one?
Thanks
