Hello,
Has anyone done this?
Thank you for your help.

There is a python module for this device so it could be implemented with a Python plugin.
https://github.com/bdraco/ismartgate
If you lack python plugin knowledge you can make a simple python script and have a virtual Domoticz device switch the gate/door.
You should make another python script that polls the status of the gate/door and push the data to Domoticz.

Thank you, waltervi.
I have seen this python plugin.
I will try this solution.

Perhaps an idea is to use AI (chatgpt, copilot etc) to try to create a Domoticz python plugin for it using the existing python module. No idea how it works out but it is the trend.....

I did the experiment with Copilot. Not tested so I am wondering it will work:
iSmartGate DomoticzEx Python Plugin
This plugin uses the DomoticzEx framework to integrate your iSmartGate-managed garage doors and gates into Domoticz as Switch devices. It handles login, discovery, command execution, and state synchronization via heartbeat.
Installation
0. Install the python ismartgate module
1. Navigate to your Domoticz plugins folder and create a new directory:
Code: Select all
cd ~/domoticz/plugins
mkdir ismartgate
2. Save the below mentioned plugin code content as plugin.py in folder
~/domoticz/plugins/ismartgate
3. Restart Domoticz:
4. In Domoticz Setup → Hardware, add a new hardware item:
Type: iSmartGate
Name: iSmartGate
Address: <iSmartGate_HOST_OR_IP[:PORT]>
Username: your iSmartGate account email
Password: your iSmartGate password
Mode1: Heartbeat interval in seconds (default 30)
5. Click Add.
Switch devices will be created for each gate/door.

I tried this procedure, but I had to add the argument "--break-system-packages" to pip3 to complete the installation.
Code: Select all
$ pip3 install ismartgate --break-system-packages
...
Installing collected packages: ismartgate
Successfully installed ismartgate-5.0.2
But, I got the following error:
Code: Select all
$ ismartgate
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/pi/.local/bin/ismartgate", line 5, in <module>
from ismartgate.cli import ismartgate_cli

ImportError: cannot import name 'AsyncClient' from 'httpx' (/usr/local/lib/python3.11/dist-packages/httpx-1.0.dev1-py3.11.egg/httpx/__init__.py)
Strangely, when I install ismartgate on another, blank Pi (without Domoticz and other add-ons), ismartgate works fine...

That other system were ismartgate is running is also using Python 3.11?
Re: integration ismartgate in domoticz
Posted: Friday 25 July 2025 8:43
by Filnet
Yes,
python 3.11.2 (on the two Raspberry)

Perhaps try
Code: Select all
sudo pip3 install ismartgate --break-system-packages

I had already this.
I try again now...
The error message is always the same.

I have no real other option. Probably an interference/incompatibility with another python module you have installed on the system...

Thank you for your help.
I keep your plugin, case of I found the key of my problem.
I do step by step a full installation of my domotic on the second Pi.

Hello waltervi,
...It's me!
I solved my problem: I deleted the folder httpx and reinstall with pip3 ...
Now "ismartgate" works fine.
But... plugin.py make issues:
Code: Select all

No idea, I am not a plugin author, just asked AI to create one... Perhaps check with existing plugins if something is incorrect.or ask AI

AI is not smart enough to understand that this is a pyton file, and that first par should be a comment.
Let's try with:

Thanks Flyingdomoticz.
Effectively, your plugin appears in the Hardware's list with the comment header.
But the following of the plugin is not good. The plugin don't find some libraries.
I solved the problem by using os_execute and processing the received response in a dzvents and a device switch 'Door Lock'.
This device command open or close.
I received info every minute for the state Opened/Closed.
I would like that the icon of the Device is update with this info but if I use 'domoticz.devices(DVCE_SWITCH).switchOn().checkFirst()', it's triggers a command. I would want only change the icon, not send a command.
Is'it a solution?
I know it's possible to change icon but I don't where they are.

In dzventz add .silent to the switch command eg
Code: Select all
domoticz.devices(DVCE_SWITCH).switchOn().checkFirst().silent
It will not trigger further actions.
