Domoticz

Because of range issues I have decided to install a second Z-Wave stick on a Linux laptop also running a Domoticz server.
That way I will have a main Linux server running Domotiz with a Z-Wave stick controlling most of the devices.
And an extra server (laptop) running a Z-Wave stick controlling a single Z-Wave device.

Is there an easy way to 'connect' these two Domoticz servers so that I can run all logic from the main server?
I know I can do it with bash scripts etc., but if there's an easier option....

And no, Z-Wave repeaters is not an option.


* EDIT
After some more reading in the Wiki, I can see that there is something called 'Device sharing'.
I'm going to try that in the weekend

Add a remote Domoticz server under setup --> hardware --> type: Domoticz remote server .

No success so far.
I get these messages in the logs:

Master:
2015-03-01 10:49:32.486 Domoticz: TCP connected to: 10.0.0.45:6144
2015-03-01 10:49:32.491 Error: Domoticz: TCP/IP connection closed! 10.0.0.45
2015-03-01 10:49:32.491 Domoticz: retrying in 30 seconds...

Slave:
2015-03-01 10:49:30.615 Incoming Domoticz connection from: 10.0.0.44
And then nothing more in the log before the same message repeats 30 seconds later.

Any ideas?

Firewall?

It's working well now.

I deleted and then added the user again (on the slave), and added the wanted device for that user.
Not sure what was the error, but now it's all good

Hi There

I have the same issue with a need for multiple servers to cover an old house with very think walls. could you help with these questions?

-Did the system work with adding additional domoticz servers?
-can you control and receive information from the devices on the remote server?
-can you add the remote devices into the logic the same as local ones?
-Do you know if several remote servers can be added?

I appreciate any help here as the topic is very poorly documented.

I will be using RFXcom trancievers on the remote servers.

Many thanks.

Yes to all...

I'm running domoticz on 3 pi zero slaves (with stuff attached) and an osx version as master. Works like a charm.

And your right:

Contains not that much

Does this also work if you're running both Domoticz instances within a virtual machine? I have a Windows 10 PC with a virtual machine with Ubuntu to run Domoticz on. We have two houses and I want to control devices in the other house through the same Domoticz system. Because RF signals won't reach the other house, I am thinking of putting another PC with Windows over there and also running a VM with Ubuntu on it.

Both houses have the same LAN. I ran a CAT-7 cable underground from one house to the other, so the network is shared.
