MMM-Domoticz-ext: interact with Domoticz
-
You could send me the json result of you sensors and I’ll see what I can do. The result is obtained via this URL:

@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:
{ "ActTime" : 1617792992, "AstrTwilightEnd" : "22:07", "AstrTwilightStart" : "04:07", "CivTwilightEnd" : "20:30", "CivTwilightStart" : "05:44", "DayLength" : "13:31", "NautTwilightEnd" : "21:16", "NautTwilightStart" : "04:59", "ServerTime" : "2021-04-07 11:56:32", "SunAtSouth" : "13:07", "Sunrise" : "06:21", "Sunset" : "19:53", "app_version" : "4.10717", "result" : [ { "AddjMulti" : 1.0, "AddjMulti2" : 1.0, "AddjValue" : 0.0, "AddjValue2" : 0.0, "BatteryLevel" : 255, "CounterToday" : "6.210 kWh", "CustomImage" : 0, "Data" : "39023.996 kWh", "Description" : "", "EnergyMeterMode" : "", "Favorite" : 1, "HardwareID" : 3, "HardwareName" : "DUMMY", "HardwareType" : "Dummy (Does nothing, use for virtual switches only)", "HardwareTypeVal" : 15, "HaveTimeout" : false, "ID" : "00014179", "LastUpdate" : "2021-04-07 11:56:30", "Name" : "Solar", "Notifications" : "false", "PlanID" : "0", "PlanIDs" : [ 0 ], "Protected" : false, "ShowNotifications" : true, "SignalLevel" : "-", "SubType" : "kWh", "SwitchTypeVal" : 0, "Timers" : "false", "Type" : "General", "TypeImg" : "current", "Unit" : 1, "Usage" : "1409.4 Watt", "Used" : 1, "XOffset" : "0", "YOffset" : "0", "idx" : "298" } ], "status" : "OK", "title" : "Devices" }The raw Owl device returns 3 power readings, one from each current clamp:
{ "ActTime" : 1617793340, "AstrTwilightEnd" : "22:07", "AstrTwilightStart" : "04:07", "CivTwilightEnd" : "20:30", "CivTwilightStart" : "05:44", "DayLength" : "13:31", "NautTwilightEnd" : "21:16", "NautTwilightStart" : "04:59", "ServerTime" : "2021-04-07 12:02:20", "SunAtSouth" : "13:07", "Sunrise" : "06:21", "Sunset" : "19:53", "app_version" : "4.10717", "result" : [ { "AddjMulti" : 1.0, "AddjMulti2" : 1.0, "AddjValue" : 0.0, "AddjValue2" : 0.0, "BatteryLevel" : 100, "CustomImage" : 0, "Data" : "506 Watt, 138 Watt, 1863 Watt", "Description" : "", "Favorite" : 0, "HardwareID" : 1, "HardwareName" : "RFXCOM", "HardwareType" : "RFXCOM - RFXtrx433 USB 433.92MHz Transceiver", "HardwareTypeVal" : 1, "HaveTimeout" : false, "ID" : "6700", "LastUpdate" : "2021-04-07 12:02:12", "Name" : "Owl", "Notifications" : "true", "PlanID" : "0", "PlanIDs" : [ 0 ], "Protected" : false, "ShowNotifications" : true, "SignalLevel" : 7, "SubType" : "CM113, Electrisave", "Timers" : "false", "Type" : "Current", "TypeImg" : "current", "Unit" : 0, "Used" : 1, "XOffset" : "0", "YOffset" : "0", "displaytype" : 1, "idx" : "1286" } ], "status" : "OK", "title" : "Devices" } -
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!
-
Could you please pull the latest code from GitHub and check if the Solar device works now?
-
@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, }, } }, -
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)

-
I tried:
p.title.bright.domoCenterCell { display: none; } hr.domoDivider { display: none; }in custom.css… that worked. → Solved!
-
@najtram Ow great! I was thinking of making it an option, but if this solves it for you that’s fine of course.
-
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?
-
@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.
-
@steps39 That’s great!
-
Tweaking ;-)
Mind the m³ instead of the m3.
And the sum symbol for today: ∑
And the poweroutlet symbol in domoticz name: ⚇
And the ↯ for electicity.
And the ☀ for the sun.Kind of bug? → Edited the Zero state for electricity. The Gauge minimum value didn’t work when set to 0.
Enjoy if this fits your taste…

-
@najtram Looks nice!
I’ll look into the zero-bug.
-
Do you have an idea for a flame symbol instead of the text Gas. Maybe with Fontawesome?
-
The name of the device in Domoticz is used. Would you like me to built an option to use a custom header with FontAwesome?
-
@najtram great fix, how did you fix the Zero state and change the symbols, could you upload as an issue on github?
-
@najtram I hacked it by changing line 933 of MMM-Domoticz-ext centreZero from true to false, so I guess more of a fork or feature request to have the option to change the gauge style rather than a bug.
-
I’ll have a look at the requests and zero state bug later this week or this weekend. Can you describe them zero state bug in more detail? Is it that when the value is zero the gauge is not displayed (correctly)?
-
@goedh452 I think that for both me and possibly @najtram we really want to have options which you haven’t built into your code.
So, just speaking for me, the zero bug isn’t really a bug, but I want the gauge to start with zero as the bottom anti-clockwise, as I don’t want to display negative values only positive values, as @najtram shows in his figure

I have got the same display of the gauge by change line 933:MMM-Domoticz-ext.js:933: centerZero: true,to:
MMM-Domoticz-ext.js:933: centerZero: false,It would nice to have an option to choose where zero would be, and possibly a number of other options around size. But would this just make it too complex and should I be using a different tool rather than MagicMirror?
So having discovered Dashticz I am wondering whether I wouldn’t be better off using Dashticz as a lot of the information I want to display comes directly from Domoticz.
-
Thanks for the explanation. I’ll make some modifications and let you now.
There are several options for the gauge, but they I didn’t implement it in such a way that they can be set in the config. For instance line thicknesses, etc.
Dashticz is also a good option. In some ways it is more flexible, but in other ways not. But I would definitely give it a try!
