MMM-Domoticz-ext: interact with Domoticz

[steps39]

@goedh452 thank you very much, a couple of examples below.

My Owl device measures watts, but each time I change the batteries it get a new idx, so I use a Lua script in Domoticz to capture the values and post-process before displaying as a Solar below:

{

         "idx" : "298"
      }
   ],
   "status" : "OK",
   "title" : "Devices"
}

The raw Owl device returns 3 power readings, one from each current clamp:

@steps39

Thanks! I’ll look into it. A quick glance indicates that the subtype of the solar device is ‘kWh’ and the module scans for a subtype ‘Energy’. This is easy to modify in the code. The Owl device is a bit more complicated since it has the data-attribute, but does not split this into 3 separate attributes.

I’ll let you know if I’ve something for you to test!

@steps39

Could you please pull the latest code from GitHub and check if the Solar device works now?

[steps39]

@goedh452 thanks, I had a go but it just display “Loading…” under the DOMOTICZ module label.

I have simplified my config.js to just have this in the Domoticz module:

                {
                  module: "MMM-Domoticz-ext",
                  header: "Domoticz",
                  position: "top_center",
                  config: {
                    apiBase: "192.168.89.174",
                    apiPort: "8080",
                    updateInterval: 10,
                    displayType: "all",
                    rooms: [
                      { idx: "3" }
                    ],
                    utilities: {
                      devices: [ "301" ],
                      utilityLabel: "Solar",
                      counterTodayLabel: "Vandaag",
                      gaugeWidth: 200,
                      gaugeEnergyMinValue: -3000,
                      gaugeEnergyMaxValue: 3000,
                      gaugeEnergyAppendText: "Watt",
                      useColors: true,
                    },
                  }
                },

[najtram]

Would it be possible to hide the sub headers?

The Utilities title doesn’t fit my minimal approach. The titles of the gauges tells enough (for me)

[najtram]

@najtram

I tried:

p.title.bright.domoCenterCell {
  display: none;
}

hr.domoDivider {
  display: none;
}

in custom.css… that worked. → Solved!

[goedh452]

@najtram Ow great! I was thinking of making it an option, but if this solves it for you that’s fine of course.

[goedh452]

@steps39

I tested with a dummy device in Domoticz I created based on your setup and think I got it working. New code is available on GitHub. Could you please check if it is working for you too?

[steps39]

@goedh452 brilliant works perfectly now and with the custom.css I can remove the extra title.

So I now have my Household and Heat Pump usages plus Solar generation all displayed, thanks.

[goedh452]

@steps39 That’s great!
