MMM-Domoticz-ext: interact with 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!

The “problem” with the centerZero value is relative.
I tried the gaugeEnergyMinValue in the config.js and assumed this should do the trick. (So with a min value of 0 or -1 and a max value of 3000).

That didn’t work. So somehow I’m not able to point out what the bug is, but I expected it to work diffrently because of the gaugeEnergyMinValue.

My solution was exactly as @steps39 described in his previous post.

And about the gas flame, I’m also not sure, but maybe a default replacement for default text? So water to a water sybol, gas to a flame, etc. But this is not a big issue, I’m already used to it like this. Looks nice!

Symbols are unicode symbols in the names of the domoticz devices…

eg: Unicode Character “⚇” (U+2687)

Just edit the devicename in Domoticz…

I made some changes to the code:

• When min value for the gauge is < 0 then 0 is centered. Otherwise zero is not centered.

• Made the config for utility gauges much more flexible

It is now possible to set config options for each individual gauge, including width, line width, marker width and marker color. Also a symbol of font awesome can be used.

Please download the latest code from GitHub. You will also have to modify the config file. I updated the readme accordingly. My config for utilities is now:

utilities: {
  utilityLabel: "Gas - Water - Licht",
  showLabel: true,
  devices: [
    {
       idx: "304",
       deviceHeader: "Elektriciteit",
       counterTodayLabel: "Vandaag",
       gaugeMinValue: -3000,
       gaugeMaxValue: 3000,
       gaugeAppendText: "Watt",
       gaugeWidth: 200,
       lineWidth: 16,
       markerWidth: 16,
       markerColor: "#F4D03F"
     },
     {
       idx: "329",
       deviceHeader: "Gas",
       useHeaderSymbol: true,
       headerSymbol: "fire",
       counterTodayLabel: "Vandaag",
       gaugeMaxValue: 25,
       gaugeAppendText: "m³",
     },
     {
       idx: "1614",
       deviceHeader: "Water",
       useHeaderSymbol: false,
       headerSymbol: "water",
       counterTodayLabel: "Vandaag",
       gaugeMaxValue: 1500,
       gaugeAppendText: "liter",
     }
   ],
 },

Which results in:

Great work! Small detail… The Watt vs the kWh? Where did this option go?

See screenshot.

Also a minor detail. The font used for Watt, and Today, isn’t the default font the MMM uses. Is there a reason for not using that default font?

Again, thanks for your great work!

@najtram

You are right. I overlooked that. I added an option ‘counterTodayAppendText’ which defaults to ‘kWh’. So you can set it yourself in the config or leave it a ‘kWh’. Latest code is on GitHub.

[goedh452]

@najtram

Fixed the font. Set to default MM font in GaugeMeter.js.

Thanks for the suggestions!

[najtram]

@goedh452

These are great improvements!

-kWh is working
-Font is working partially. Actual usage is MM-font, but daily totals still looks like Arial…

[goedh452]

@najtram

Right again! All fonts should be the default MM font now.

Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for making this adjustment.

I am currently having problems. I was curious about your update. So I updated the module with the MagicMirror remote module. (there is an update in the menu.)
Somehow I updated my entire mirror.
⮑ Guess what! → MMM-Domoticz-ext no longer works. (Another calendar module is now also “broken”.) But for the MMM-Domoticz-ext I received this error.

So again, I’m asking for your help. But I can imagine this could be a big thing. Thanks in advance if you can manage to fix this!
