Domoticz full integration
-
I have exchanged with Gizmocuz who's in charge of Domoticz code. He is very eager to integrate mysensors into Domoticz.
He needs some help so and asks for volunteers.But we haven't talked about integration policy. I would understand that he would not consider refactoring to integrate mysensors, a simple integration with a gateway engine (some kind of RFXCOM integration + gateway) is the key.
-
The Arduino is needed for it has all the libraries to interface the rf24 and the mysensors protocols... it hides it to the controller, but there are plenty of stuff hidden below... consider mysensors library as the protocol stack, the gateway as the layer 4 to 6, and application as layer 7 in OSI model ;-)
-
To move forward, I may have misunderstood things but can't we use one arduino as the gateway that reads/writes from serial ?
Isn't it the principle of the raspberry pi gateway ?QQ.
@qqlapraline Yes, arduino can work as a gateway. But i think it should communicate with Domoticz not by json, but in better way.
-
OK, so basically, nobody wants to do anything...Good way for the integration process !

@qqlapraline I want but unfortunately i do not have abilities:( I can only suggest that if someone have contact with domoticz creators he can ask them if they can write better api...

Hey QQ it is always easier to ask than to do...
So far there is no will on one side to do something, on the other same issue... (one developper on each side alone...)some people have ported the mysensors integration to openahab (which has a working z-wave integration and RFXtrx), but for your case it is a bit different...
First ask yourself if you are building a mysensors and for what use (needs some soldering, DIY, purchase, enery solving issue, boxing... that is not things bought uppon a shelf), and then you'll need to find people or make it yourself.

@epierre Yeah..right..:| thank you for the life lesson.
Actually, how surprising it might look, I don't have the need: I have Arduino, communicating together in a simple protocol and integrating very well with my domoticz installation (by the way, it supports lots of devices...). But, I have good will....And integration between mysensors and Domoticz seems quite logical to me. If this is a fight between number of code lines (which is probably not to the advantage of mysensors), then, fine by me: I'm out the game.

@qqlapraline I don't really understand what you are trying to ask or say but I do know that the mySensors project is a project supported by only a handful of people.
I for myself wanted integration with Indigo Domotica and, because I soon understood that I am the first (and at this point only) person asking for it I started developing a plugin for it.
It is not my first priority (I have to make a living and my partner needs some attention as well) but I will get there.
What you are asking (as far as I understand) is others to step up to the plate for something that you want or think makes sense in some future.
That, as you probably understand by now, will only happen when more people start asking for it and/or someone takes the lead.
When you are not that person I don't think it is correct to 'blame' anybody or get cynical because, just maybe, the time is not on your side. -
Nevertheless i am not a good programmer i will try tomorrow to make mysensors work with domoticz with at least temp sensors by the ethernet and json. Will see what i can acomplish with 90% desire, and 10% of knowledge:) Maybe it would be first step for others:)

Hi all,
A hint of what is going on... with the vera gateway !
-
Someone who knows Domoticz need to step up and help creating a plugin for the controller. Either by using the serial protocol or by utilizing MQTT.
We can help someone get started but the actual work has to be done by someone actually using the controller.
-
I would add someone developping in domoticz for there are (too) few and some new features should be added too...
externally is possible and ongoing...
