Issues witch Domoticz 2021.1.x and newer on Windows 10 and HomeWizard plug-in 2.0.31

[TineUser]

Hi all,

I want to update Domoticz from 2020.2.11995 to 2021.1.x on Windows 10 but then Domoticz is crashing shortly after the start of the application. See also my post in the Domoticz forum:

https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=36532

I tried the update to version 2021.1.13332 today once again but the application still crashes. The answer to the last post was to install the new version with the external log folder. But there's no log file with possible causes of the crash. I only have a windows event log entry:

Windows is running with release 21H1 and as you can see in the verbose logs I installed Python 3.8.10 and 3.9.5. Any ideas? Thank you and kind regards.

Hi all,

can anyone help, please?

Thank You.

When you disable all python plugins, does Domoticz still crash?

[TineUser]

How can I disable these plugins and how can I find python based plugins?

What about this issue?

[TineUser]

Today I tried to update Domoticz to 2022.1.14126. The update worked fine but Domoticz is stopping after a short time. I then deleted the plugin folder of the HomeWizard plugin. After starting Domoticz once again, it is running without issues but also without the connection to the HomeWizard.

So I gone back to Domoticz 2020.2 which is the last version where the HomeWizard plugin 2.0.31 is working. It looks like there are modifications needed to get the plugin running with newer versions of Domoticz.

Hello TineUser,

Since I don't use Windows for my Domoticz setup I have installed it today for the first time. I installed Python 32bit version 3.10.4 with Domoticz version 2022.1 (build 14294).

I have added my plugin, configured it and all is working. For me this means there is nothing wrong with the plugin but with your setup. Maybe you have to update your python?

Hello rvdvoorde,

thank you for your quick reply and test. Yesterday I also installed Python 3.10.4 but didn't do more tests. I also had Python 3.9.5 installed and updated it to 3.9.12 yesterday because 2021 there was a prerequisite for having Python 3.9.x installed.

Domoticz 2022.1 did stop again shortly after the start. So I uninstalled Python 3.9.12. Now Domoticz is running but with Python 3.8.10 which I still have installed for going back to Domoticz 2020.2 in case of a failure.

Version: 2022.1 Build Hash: d83f32a94 Compile Date: 2022-01-31 07:22:38 dzVents Version: 3.1.8 Python Version: 3.8.10 (tags/v3.8.10:3d8993a, May 3 2021, 11:34:34) [MSC v.1928 32 bit (Intel)]

How can I force Domoticz to use Python 3.10.4 instead of 3.8.10? Should I uninstall Python 3.8.10 or is there another option to do this?

[TineUser]

OK, I'm now a step further.

After uninstalling Python 3.8.10 Domoticz says that no Python version is used. I un- and reinstalled Python 3.10.4 a lot of times but without any success. My last idea was to update Domoticz to the Beta build 2022.1.14294 and then Python 3.10.4 was found by Domoticz and the HomeWizard plugin is running, too :-).

Version: 2022.1 (build 14294) Build Hash: faa28908b Compile Date: 2022-03-24 08:21:49 dzVents Version: 3.1.8 Python Version: 3.10.4 (tags/v3.10.4:9d38120, Mar 23 2022, 22:57:10) [MSC v.1929 32 bit (Intel)]

So I think this is a very important infomation when using Python based plugins:

1. Stop Domoticz
2. Make a backup of the Domoticz installation
3. Uninstall all older Python versions
4. Install Python 3.10.4 with the settings found here: https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Using_Python_plugins#Installing_Python_for_Windows
5. Update Domoticz
6. Start Domoticz
