Connection to Domoticz defined devices like Blinds and On/Off switches

hi Martin,

with latest domoticz Server, DZ immediately unlocks my door every time i locked it from ST. so i temporarily removed it from the settings.

hmm, weird i thought i did not change anything in that area, but update from repo should fix it. Could you check if the notification in the DZ lock device is like ā€œIDX 9999 on or offā€? If they are it should work now.

Yes. works great now.
Lock/Unlock from DZ works tooā€¦

thanks

what could possibly the cause of thisā€¦


it happens randomly, but quite often.
DZ is running on a pi3, wired.

Currently looking into that one.

I get that one too, but each time its happened its when ST is having technical issues.

I just assumed your handshake is valid but just doesnā€™t cater for the ST problem. Your messages will probably appear well before you get the ST alert mind.

If you donā€™t know, you can sign up to alerts every time ST has an issue and be notified also when itā€™s resolved. Here is the link to the ST status information https://status.smartthings.com

Might have the wrong idea here but ā€¦

All installed ok and running. I have ā€˜Defined ST Devices in DZā€™ and devices appear in DZ.

When i switch on/off in ST, DZ syncs and updates states. However when i switch on/off in DZ the device does not switch on/off and ST does not sync the change in state.

What am i missing here?

Hi, can be two things.

Did you update Domoticz with the customActionUrl for http (in the wiki) if not feedback cannot reach SmartThings.
Are the notifications being set (should be automatic) for the virtual devices in DZ, (this can take some time to appear).

Hi Martin

Yes have added customActionUrl to http notifications however it appears that no notifications are being sent.

  1. when i click test in notifications for http nothing comes through to the ST app on phone
  2. on ST app in DZ under ā€˜HTTP Custom Action URLā€™ it gives the same https address that i have copied but where it says ā€˜Valid Setting in DZā€™ is says :null. Should it say this??
  3. Revoke/Recreate Access Token does appear to work, not sure if i should have done anything here?

Have followed wiki to the letter :slight_smile:

You will not see anything with the test.
If you have done a revoke, you will get a new access token and acordingly your URL will change, you must copy the new one to DZ.
One final check, did you enable oAuth for the app in the IDE?
Could you PM me a 30 minutes or so log from the App in the IDE?

Ahhh got it.

Didnā€™t have oAuth enabled.

Have now enabled, re-copied over http address and now working and syncing perfectly.

Thank you.

Will see if i can check that when initing.

did you still want a log?

nope :-), not needed, it was thinking that one way or another the custom message did not made it back.

ok thank you

Have fun, and when needing specific new function you can use or issues, please ask, always looking for more usability.

Hello Martin, I canā€™t manage to instantiate it. I have the latest Domoticz (3.8922), your latest Domoticz app, domoticzBlinds, domoticzBlindsSmart device drivers synced from GitHub. I have delete one of my blinds in SmartThings and recreated it but it still instantiate the same way and does not appear in the list of potential composite devices. Iā€™m sure Iā€™m doing something wrongā€¦

What kind of sensor devices do you want to relate to the shades?

None. Do I need one ?

We might mean different things :smiley:. Composite for me means creating a composite sensor in the domoticz server app.

Could you explain one more time what you expect to see where ? As I myself use both windowShade and the switch capability of the device.
