Raspberry Pi 1 B installation

Hello!

I know, I know, support has been dropped for the RP1! :) I only want to run a lite Domotics for reading out the P1 sensor on my energy meter and I have a RP1 lying around. I found Domoticz 2024.1 on github, which I think is the last version working on armv6. When I download and unpack I get an error after: "sudo service domoticz.sh start": "Failed to start domoticz.service: Unit domoticz.service not found".

- I also tried the easy install method and got to the blue screen (The sudo bash -c "$(curl -sSfL https://install.domoticz.com)"), but I can't hit Ok.
- SjoerdNLD's version (github.com/SjoerdNLD/Domoticz-Armv6) results in the same Failed to start domoticz.service error.

Any thoughts?

Linux Version:
Linux raspberry 6.6.51+rpt-rpi-v6 #1 Raspbian 1:6.6.51-1+rpt3 (2024-10-08) armv6

As far as I know is Domoticz 2024.1 already for armv7... domoticz_linux_2024.1_armv7l.tgz
Maybe you can try the version 2023.2 https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/re ... _armhf.tgz

You can also use the old Pi to read out the P1meter and send it directly to your main Domoticz (if you have one) with ser2net.

Hi,

On my test system, which is a Raspberry Pi 1B+ (v1.2), I run successfully Domoticz 2024.7, which is, at the time of writing, the latest stable.
See: https://github.com/SjoerdNLD/Domoticz-Armv6

As I look to your Linux version, I think you are using Debian (Raspberry Pi OS) Bookworm
I run: Linux 6.6.62+rpt-rpi-v6 #1 Raspbian 1:6.6.62-1+rpt1 (2024-11-25) armv6l GNU/Linux and I had to install libssl1.1 separately myself.

On this forum various topics exist on "What to do", if you want to run Domoticz on Bookworm

But at the end, it is running fine and no issues at all.

Regards
