Hello all,

I am trying to create a plugin, based on the Basetemplate.py
I am able to create some devices (or are they called units now?

Code: Select all

BurnerSwitch = Domoticz.Unit(Name="BurnerSwitch", DeviceID="AduroHx", Unit=1, Type=244, Subtype=73, Switchtype=0).Create()

But I am not able to use the devices that are created.
It shows up under switches. But when I click the lightbulb it doesn't switch on.
It does call the onCommand callback and I can e.g. print something to the log, but I can not figure out how to change the state of the switch.
I'm pretty sure I'm missing something obvious. But most examples are still based on the old Domoticz framework, instead of DomoticzEx.

Can anyone give me a pointer?

Regards,

Bert

Zigbee2mqtt plugin is DomoticzEx so that could give some inspiration (I am not a programmer)

Hi Waltervl,

Thanks. Indeed it is one of the few I could find. But the onCommand doesn't seem to have an update function. Or at least not that I could find/recognise.

I now got it working with the following code. But is this indeed the expected way? It looks quite convoluted. so any suggestion/advice is welcome.

Code: Select all

def onCommand(self, DeviceID, Unit, Command, Level, Color):
        Domoticz.Log("onCommand called for Device " + str(DeviceID) + " Unit " + str(Unit) + ": Parameter '" + str(Command) + "', Level: " + str(Level))
        if Devices[DeviceID].Units[Unit].nValue == 1:
            Domoticz.Log("Switching off: ")
            Devices[DeviceID].Units[Unit].nValue= 0
            Devices[DeviceID].Units[Unit].sValue= "Off"
            Devices[DeviceID].Units[Unit].Update()
        else:
            Domoticz.Log("Switching on")
            Devices[DeviceID].Units[Unit].nValue= 1
            Devices[DeviceID].Units[Unit].sValue= "On"
            Devices[DeviceID].Units[Unit].Update()
