MMM-Domoticz-ext: interact with Domoticz

najtram · Apr 4, 2021, 7:09 PM

Thanks for this plugin. Somehow I don’t get to work…
So here is my [mp2 logs mm] output.
Let me know if you need to know more of my setup. (it’s a recent ~clean install from last januari.)

@najtram npm install xmlhttprequest

this is a side effect of not documenting the requirements, and depending on mm to supply them.

the Domoticz module should add this to their package.json

najtram · Apr 5, 2021, 8:13 AM

@sdetweil

Thanks for this solution. To be clear my MagicMirror is working on a different Pi than the Domoticz Pi. So could you help me out with two hints.
1 should I install the xmlhttprequest in the MagicMirror Pi or the Domoticz?
2 in which directory should i execute this npm install ?

Thanks again, this looks promising!

goedh452 · Apr 5, 2021, 8:52 AM

@najtram

You should install it on the pi which runs Magic Mirror. I’ll add a package.json later. That is the right way to do it indeed.

najtram · Apr 5, 2021, 2:48 PM

@goedh452
@sdetweil

Thanks for both your support. I excecuted it in the MagicMirror directory. And it is working!!! This is really awesome!

Thanks for the great module!

steps39 · Apr 5, 2021, 2:48 PM

@goedh452 nice add-on thank you.

I am able to get simple things to work ok, but can’t get gauges to display. I assume the communication with my Domoticz server is all working, as number of lights on etc. gets displayed and there are no errors in the log for devices not being found. If I use a non-existent device or wrong type of device, then the Domoticz module just displays Loading.

Do I need another dependency for gauges?

Also having done a git pull to install package.json this causes Magic Mirror to error, but all is fine if I remove package.json

I also get a git error, I don’t know if this matters or not:

Thanks, exciting package, a lot of options to make sense of along with the complexities of my Domoticz, having a heat pump there are lots of energies and temperatures that I would like to be able to monitor.

goedh452 · Apr 6, 2021, 11:37 AM

@steps39

Which gauges are you trying to display, utilities or weather? I tested the utilities with energy monitors that are collected to Domoticz with a P1 USB cable. You too?

The module should autodetect the type and disregard types it doesn’t know. Maybe this mechanism isn’t working as it should be for the gauges. I’ll look into this.

Regarding the git-error: I added the package.json for the dependencies. I’m not very experienced with GitHub and more of a hobby programmer. I guess there is something wrong with the package.json. Any input is welcome!

steps39 · Apr 7, 2021, 10:52 AM

@goedh452 thanks, my skill is also amateur, but I now know that there is no gauge dependency missing.

I have a whole range of energy values captured in my Domoticz - Owl current meter, Nibe heat pump, Solaredge PV panels, I guess none of them are the same type as your P1 USB cable (not something I use/have).

I guess I would really want a flexible gauge that I can use with a number of my Domoticz captured values, so your Javascript is a great inspiration/start to create such gauges.

I will fork your git and then if I actually create something it will hopefully add to your package. As a hobby not sure when I will get around it :-(.
