restart domoticz possible by esp32?

[BartSr]

Due to current problem that domoticz requires a restart few times each week I wonder if it's possible to sent kind of HTTP command from esp.
Is that doable. I am looking for command something like:
http:// domoticzIP, 'sudo service domoticz.sh restart'
or do I suggest something complete idiot?

You could easily make a crontab job, e.g., restarting Domoticz every day, including the command sudo systemctl restart domoticz.service

The underlying problem, though, in my opinion is something in your Domoticz setup. As far as I know there is no ‘current problem’ with Domoticz requiring a restart. At least, I am not experiencing anything wrong with the newest Domoticz version, 2024.7.

A number of members als suffer from same problem. Also a github issue is there. Gizmocus has a look at it too.
I don't want a crontab solution for I want to restart once domoticz don't response.

Use the developer tools of your browser...

Code: Select all

http://192.168.2.2:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=system_reboot

This is a script I run on the domoticz server itself:

Code: Select all

DOMOTICZ=`curl -s --connect-timeout 2 --max-time 5 "http://127.0.0.1:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=getdevices&rid=1"`
STATUS=`echo $DOMOTICZ | jq -r '.status'`
if [ $STATUS = "OK" ] ; then
	exit
else
	sleep 20
	DOMOTICZ=`curl -s --connect-timeout 2 --max-time 5 "http://127.0.0.1:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=getdevices&rid=1"`
	STATUS2=`echo $DOMOTICZ | jq -r '.status'`
	if [ $STATUS2 = "OK" ] ; then
		exit
	else
		sleep 20
		DOMOTICZ=`curl -s --connect-timeout 2 --max-time 5 "http://127.0.0.1:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=getdevices&rid=1"`
		STATUS3=`echo $DOMOTICZ | jq -r '.status'`
		if [ $STATUS3 = "OK" ] ; then
			exit
		else
			/usr/sbin/service domoticz stop
			/usr/sbin/service domoticz start
		fi
	fi
fi

Yeah, I just saw the other messages. I agree that for your problem a crontab job is no solution. I hope the cause of your problem (some plug-in issue?) is soon found.

As long as your crashing issue is not fixed use the monit application to monitor Domoticz and have it restarted when Domoticz becomes unresponsive. See wiki for more information https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Monitoring_domoticz
