Heartbeat working or not?



  • Hello!

    Anyone here using sendHeartbeat() and can confirm it works with Domoticz?
    I have just build my first motion and door sensor, and I can not get Domoticz to update the "last seen" for them.

    If I read on Domoticz forum @sundberg84 asked for this feature in january 2016, and as I understand it it was implemented in february.
    But in another thread someone else is asking again for it. And this is in september 2017.

    I am running version 3.8153 dated 2017-07-30.

    If someone can confirm that it is working in latest stable 4.9700 I will update my server, otherwise not. I have always had allot of troubles on my previous updates. And now it has been working perfect for a year.

    Last thing I know is that it didn't work.



  • @denis-renaud may have solved your problem.

    Not sure whether this is related. I don't use Domoticz



  • @sglue Thanks for replying but that does not work in Domoticz. Just as mentioned in the thread. Domoticz only acknowledge that a sensor is alive if it sends new data. Not by sending a status that it has received earlier.

    For now I have solved it by a dummy switch in my sketch that alternates on and off at every heartbeat, but I don't think that is a very nice solution. And I have to have two different script checking my sensors in Domoticz. One for the ones that heart beats is working in (ie X10) and one for my MySensors nodes.



  • Answering my self for info to others that finds this thread.

    I finally did the upgrade anyway and:
    It is NOT working in v4.970.



  • Update: It seems as heartbeat works in 4.9701 for S_DOOR, but not for S_MOTION or S_BINARY.



  • Take a look at: https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/blob/a668baf917333e93f92dd9bb7c77eef8e0bc4ce4/hardware/MySensorsBase.cpp#L486

    //V_TRIPPED
    //V_ARMED
    //V_LOCK_STATUS
    //V_STATUS
    //V_PERCENTAGE
    //V_SCENE_ON
    //V_SCENE_OFF
    //V_UP
    //V_DOWN
    //V_STOP
    //V_RGB
    //V_RGBW
    


  • @pjr I am still a noob when it comes to C. And I have not had the time to examine the Domoticz source code. But at first glance those lines seems as V_PERCENTAGE, V_SCENE_OFF, V_STOP and V_RGBW that updates the last seen on heartbeat.

    I have had my node running now for 2 days just checking this heartbeat. And I can for shore sasy that is only working for the door sensor. Which presents it self as S_DOOR and sends V_TRIPPED messages.
    It is not working for the motion sensor presenting it self as S_MOTION and also sends V_TRIPPED messages.

    And one more really strange thing is that it is only working on the door sensor when the door is open. Not closed!
