Open/closed instead of on/off, Payload

HMmmm...

I have presented the Switch as s_door.

  present(PRIMARY_CHILD_ID, S_DOOR);

My Message looks like this:

MyMessage msg(PRIMARY_CHILD_ID, V_TRIPPED);

I sould have written this in my first post but it was a quick post, sorry about that.

However, in Domotics i don't get Door Contact as Switch type, only Contact.
When I chose Contact, it says Open/Close but then I dont get to choose Icon, it only shows to arrows.
So to chose Contact kind of solved my problem but I like my Door Icon. =)

I see that @Boots33 uses V3.6765. I guess thats a Beta. I only uses Stable versions so the latest is v 3.5877

I Guess that it could be a new switch type but I would guess not. The strange thing is that I see that the switchtype Contact is not avalible on @Boots33 screen shot.

Thanks anyway for both answers.

You can define your own icons in Domoticz.

Could be because I am on the Beta I suppose. although the project I linked to is nearly 12 months old and I am pretty sure I had the door icon from the start. Is there any other Domoticz users that can confirm if they have the same menu as me. I could have selected some custom icons I guess but I can't remember doing that.

When I select Door Contact I do not get to choose the icon either. it just uses the door icon

There is a Contact type 2 positions up from door contact on my menu.

This may be best chased down on the Domoticz forum

@kimot
Im using custom icon for my door, however, you can't use custom icon for the switchtype contact. At least not on v3.5877

@Boots33
Sorry didn't see the Contact type 2 positions up.
I see that the Door Contact has a lock on its icon. How does it look when your pysical door is open? Just gray?

One more question: The closed door with a lock symbol. Is that door just closed or closed AND locked?

I will probably wait with this main question since it seems to be related to an beta update.

[Boots33]

@popunonkok The closed door with lock is what it shows for a closed door. As far as i know there is no way to indicate just closed without the lock. Just the two icons for open and closed. Why they chose to put a lock on it I am not sure

@popunonkok
You can choose "Door Lock" switch type and change icons for this switch.
I think, it is possible change any icons in domoticz.
Simply go to "www/images" folder, load your own icons and rename it to door48open.png and door48.png.
Or do the same for contact48.png etc.
I will try it when I come at home.

@kimot can you confirm that you have Door contact and Door Lock types available from your drop down menu? Are you on a stable release or a Beta of Domoticz

[kimot]

@Boots33
"Door Lock" only. I am using stable releases.
