DOMOTICZ: Review and setup. • Open Source Home Automation System. • Domoticz is a home automation system designed to control various devices and receive input from various sensors like lamps, weather stations, energy loggers, doorbels, carkeys, TV remotes, etc. • Keywords: • DOMOTICZ, home automation, raspberry pi, arduino mega 2560, RFLink, 433 MHz, KAKU, klik aan klik uit, click on click off, philips hue, philips hue starter kit, home weather station, Cresta, Ziggo, Ziggo modem, Ziggo router, port forwarding, dhdcp.conf, putty, review, setup, SSH, youtube, P1 smart meter cable, slimme meter, • • Hardware: • The hardware in this review tested is a Raspberry Pi 3 • Arduino Mega 2560 board with a module for • RFLink 433.9 MHz board with dipool antenna. • KAKU, klik aan klik uit, power swithes. • Phlips Hue starter kit (bridge, remote/dimmer and lights). • Wheather station, Cresta for use in garden. • Wheather station, Weather Underground by develloper API. • Ziggo modem/router for access to the internet. • Software: • The software in this review tested is • Raspberry Pi 3. • http://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Raspberr... • The easiest way to get started is to download the SD Card image from sourceforge. • http://sourceforge.net/projects/domot... • The standard way is to install NOOBS / Raspbian on a SD Card. • In the raspbian terminal type the commands: • sudo apt-get update • sudo apt-get upgrade • sudo raspi-config • sudo reboot • ifconfig # to detect your local IP 192.168.x.y • curl -L install.domoticz.com | sudo bash • This might do the job. Additional steps are terminal commands: • cd domoticz • sudo cp domoticz.sh /etc/init.d • sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/domoticz.sh • sudo update-rc.d domoticz.sh defaults • ./updatebeta • or • ldd /home/domoticz/domoticz • ./updatebeta # the stable version of domoticz is only stable on specific (older) raspbian versions. • sudo service domoticz.sh start # stop • sudo service domoticz.sh status • This should do the job. • Domoticz: • Now open a webbrowser like Midori on the Pi or Edge on a PC. • type the URL • http://192.168.1.10:8080 where you adress local internet 192.168.1 for device 10 at port 8080 for internet data. • This should open de Domoticz webpage (UI). • Additional setup / info. • Operational: • Domoticz tested versions: latest v4.9753 • v3.8944 (feb 2018); v4.9753 (july 2018) • In this period of 5 months the system was down twice. • The pi uSD card is sensitive to power failures. • Static IP to access the pi from the internet. • 1. Pi: • sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf • add the lines: • interface wlan0 • #wifi connection • static ip_address=192.168.178.100/24 • static routers=192.168.178.1 • static domain_name_servers=192.168.178.1 • #pi gets static address 100 by reboot. • 2. Ziggo modem/router: • http://192.168.178.1 # the address to access your modem/router. • Advanced setup, security, port forwaring. • local ip 192.168.178.100 port range 8080:8080 extern port range 8080:8080 protocol TCP • DHCP setup • local address 192.168.178.10 • 100 devices up to 192.168.178.109 • Turn off the Pi from remote access SSH • Do not turn off the pi by removing the power cable. • This results in uSD card fails. • So turn off the Pi by software commands. • Putty (For secure FTP = SSH) • Use putty session • 192.168.1.10 (pi local adress) port 22. • un: pi • pw: raspberry • open terminal program and enter the command • sudo shutdown • Clear Browser Cache • The web frontend is set to be cached. This will speed up the application launch time, • and is perfect if you create a shortcut on the home screen of an iPhone/iPad/…. • If for some reason, the page does not load correctly in Firefox / Chrome / Edge, clear this cache. • Information sources: • https://www.domoticz.com/DomoticzManu... • https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Raspber... • https://www.domotica-blog.nl/post/rev... • Henkus 2018
