Lightwave http commands from virtual device

[waveuk 0]

I am having some issues to install fibaro relays on the some wall box as they are a bit small (UK) and I am not looking forward to expand them and having to redecorate.

As an alternative I have seen Lightwaverf has the standard UK switches dimensions so they will fit in the wall boxes.

Is there any way to manage Lightwaverf via http commands?

If this is possible I could use my HCL to manage all the devices I need.

rasp pi + domoticz + rfxtrx433 then yes you can

cool!!

This would be a great solution so I can manage all Fibaro sensors / relays / TRVs and sirens from Fibaro and also linked to the Lightwaverf switches.

is this something you also have implemented? I have and HCL so cannot run LUA code but I guess just for switching lights on and off it would work with http commands.

i use it here... i also use oregon sensors and owl energy meters with it to feed the data to fibaro hc2... the developer of domoticz implemented "fibaro link" which connects to the fibaro unit as a virtual device, variable, scene works very well

Hi,

Got the Rasp Pi B+ and Domoticz setup and working with the LightwaveRF light bulbs no problem. But where do I go to configure/install Fibaro Link on Domoticz? Can't find it anywhere on my Domoticz install, using the latest version. Do I need to install it as an extra module or something?

Thanks for any help.

You must install the last beta version.

Hi,

got the link all set-up. But how do I go about controlling the LightwaveRF device from HC2? Does anyone have a config they could let me look at so I can set-up my LightwaveRF stuff to control it from HC2 via Domoticz

Thanks

Geoff

this is the virtual device that I use for control an AC plug but if you use lightwaveRF device is the same.

In HC2 create a global variable and assign it value "On" and Off"

After, you must create a virtual device with a label and two button:

Label Name: Status

ID: Label1

Button On

Please login or register to see this code.

Button Off

Please login or register to see this code.

Main loop

Please login or register to see this code.

In Domoticz, by FibaroLink, create two device:

The first as a global variable; in device name choose your device; value to send select status and target variable the name of your new HC2 variable.

The second as a virtual device; in device name choose your device; value to send select status; in the target the ID of your HC2 virtual device and in the target property write "ui.Label1.value"

Remeber to change in Domoticz setting, website protection, the authentication method with Basic-Auth.

For find the ID or your virtual device in HC2:

hc2ip/api/virtualDevices

For find the ID or your custom icon for virtual device HC2:

hc2ip/api/icons?type=virtualDevice

Thanks for you reply and all the really useful information. As I am new to creating Virtual Devices I have attached some screen shots. Have I entered all the information in the correct places?

lmlscooterboy,

Domoticz is ok, but you must add the global variable device for the same light.

The variable that you have created is not correct. You must create a GLOBAL VARIABLE, the second in the HC2 variable panel.

In the virtual device about the buttons on and off, you must select LUA CODE not string.

In the main loop change the ID of the icon with your custom icon. This code updates the icon state of the light.

Hi rusconidesigner,

I am trying your tutorial.

I am getting the status when I turn on or off my lights in domoticz but my on/off buttons in HC2 do not work.

As far as I can see my device idx is also 6 so I did not have to change that one.

I have some screenshots. I am new to this so maybe I made a stupid mistake.

Could you have a look at it?

Thanks in advance.

Greetings,

Aaron

An alternative method (Without domoticz or raspberry pi) is detailed here:

Thanks for the post on the WiFi link... going to try that solution looks good. Is there any status feedback to confirm status of lightwave device?

[rusconidesigner 4]

Sorry for the late but I was on holiday.

For me works fine without problems.

Do you try the the http command from the browser?

(

Does it works or not?

If it doesn't work there is an error in the command line.

Otherwise we find the error in the script.

Let me know.

Hi,

thought I would let people know that I have LightwaveRF bulbs all being controlled from HC2 via Domoticz using the http commands and Lua script. Works great.

Thanks

for all help.
