Push button to toggle lights etc



  • Can someone help with how to make a toggling switch in Domoticz? I've only used blockly for automation, but I think I might have to do something else to make this work.

    Push button sketch:

    /**
     * Single button sending transmitter
     * Battery powered by 3V Li-bat
     */
    
    #define MY_DEBUG
    #define MY_RADIO_RF24
    #define MY_NODE_ID 7
    
    #include <MySensors.h>
    
    int BATTERY_SENSE_PIN = A0;  // select the input pin for the battery sense point
    int oldBatteryPcnt = 0;
    #define BUTTON_PIN 2   //pin for button
    
    MyMessage msgButton(BUTTON_PIN, V_STATUS);
    
    int sentCounter = 2;
    int reading;           // the current reading from the input pin
    int previous = HIGH;    // the previous reading from the input pin 
    
    void setup()
    {
    	pinMode(BUTTON_PIN, INPUT);
    	digitalWrite(BUTTON_PIN, HIGH);
      analogReference(INTERNAL);
    }
    
    void presentation()
    {
      sendSketchInfo("WCNappiBAT", "v08032019");
    	present(BUTTON_PIN, S_BINARY, "WC Nappi");
    }
    
    void loop()
    {
    delay(10);
    reading = digitalRead(BUTTON_PIN);
      if (reading == LOW && previous == HIGH) {
        previous = reading;
        send(msgButton.set(1));
        sentCounter++;
        delay(50);
        }
      else {
        previous = reading;
        }
    
    if (sentCounter % 5 == 0) {    
      int sensorValue = analogRead(BATTERY_SENSE_PIN);
      // 3.44/1023 = Volts per bit = 0.003363075
      int batteryPcnt = sensorValue / 10;
      float batteryV  = sensorValue * 0.003363075;
      Serial.print("Battery Voltage: ");
      Serial.print(batteryV);
      Serial.print(" V, ");
      Serial.print("Battery percent: ");
      Serial.print(batteryPcnt);
      Serial.println(" %");
    
      sendBatteryLevel(batteryPcnt);
      }
     
      sleep(0, CHANGE, 0);
    }
    

    So the idea is it sends a "1" for every press. That should toggle the lights (controlled by another nodes relay). I had direct communication before but it keeps failing.

    Any ideas? Or should I change the sketch? I thought about sending alternate 0 & 1 but then it will not "know" if the light is on or not...



  • @masmat
    Just an idea...
    As I recall, Domoticz only responds to changes. So if you send '1' to a switch that are already have '1' status, nothing happens. So I suggest that you first send '1' when the button is pressed. Then after for example 500ms you send '0'. That way the button switch will toggle.
    Now - in the switch settings, you can send a ‘Toggle’ command to the node that controls the relay:
    http://127.0.0.1:8080/json.htm?type=command&dparam=switchlight&idx=42&switchcmd=Toggle
    In your case the ‘idx=42’ should correspond to your relay node.
    With this setup, you should be able to toggle your relay with single presses on your button.

  • @lemme Great, I'll try that. Is that working for you?
    Thanks for that json-code bit!



  • Hi
    Yes, it works for me.
    You can read more about the json part here:
