more "devices" in EMS-ESP than in Domoticz

[FWES70]

Hi Kees,

I updated the EMS-ESP to v2.1.1b6. There are a lot more devices now, most of them I would like to see and monitor in Domoticz as well, but they do not show up (e.g. energy, boiler ext temperature) I ulpoaded the last plugin, hoping it would change.

any plans to update? Can I help in any way?

[bbqkees]

Can you make a list of which additional parameters you need and which you would also like to see?

A Domoticz python plugin is limited to only 256 devices. I'm already using a lot of them so additional space is limited. But it's a bit of 'first come first served' so the first persons to drop useful parameters here will have their wishes (mostly) granted.

devices to be added to Domoticz.xlsx

this is the list of parameters I would like to see in Domoticz. would it be an idea to make a separate plugin for heatpumps? I guess the owners of a gas boiler are not so interested in the heatpump parameters. But I have no clue how much work it is, so I leave it to you...

[bbqkees]

Can you post a complete payload of the topics in your system? I would like to acquire some examples as i don't have a heat pump myself. You can use f.i. https://mqtt-explorer.com/

Ok thats quite some new ones indeed. I'll add a number of them in the next update.

[bbqkees]

I added lots of parameters in the dev branch. Can you try them out?

[FWES70]

I gave it a try. looks like the devices do not load anymore. after pressing a few times on "all devices" (alle apparaten), it loads randomly a few more (14 out of the >100 that I had before). I only see 1 of my sonoffs in the list for example. after I press the refresh button all devices disapear.

[bbqkees]

Ok. I believe this is the same problem as we experienced with the old plugin for 1.9.5. As soons as you reach a certain number of devices (even below the allowed 256), it all falls apart.

I'll create another plugin branch with a selector or something. Then you can create two instances of the same plugin but with only half of the parameters each. Let's see if that solves it.

[FWES70]

it might be a problem with Domoticz: I changed back to the old plugin, but the problem persisted. re-insalled Domoticz, but it is still the same now.

[bbqkees]

Yes it's an annoying problem. You have to disable the plugin and remove all its devices otherwise the empty device list will persist.

[FWES70]

OK, I'll try that first, otherwise a complete re-install of Domoticz, without putting back the DB (result will probably be the same)

[Bartekn86]

could you add function to start circulation pump in rc310 please ?

[bbqkees]

@Bartekn86 I've added it the the dev branch. Make a database backup before updating, if could be the plugin creates too many devices and that will mess up the device list in Domoticz.

[Bartekn86]

thank you, could you tell what is the name of parameter/button etc. to start running pump ? or how should be configured rc310 to run pump "from the finger" - manual b.

[bbqkees]

The empte device list problem should be solved. See #33
