I’m just back to tinkering and wants to install a program but before I make my NS possibly unstable, I wanted to ask you if eevtl someone who has already installed and set up the program.
And I want to operate domoticz on the server, all instructions I have found for installation refer to DEBIAN.
Maybe not directly helpfull to get domoticz running on NS, but did you consider to use another home automation platform?
AFAIK https://www.openhab.org/ is very well supported by numerous IoT devices and there are RPM’s available for openhab.
Thanks for pointing out, yes I’ve tested different platforms in the last few months. (OpenHab, IOBroker, FHEM and Domoticz)
After a long test, Domoticz is left over, it fulfills fully and completely that I expect. (GUI, operation, functionality, design)
One of the most important points is the WAF (woman acceptance factor) - top!
Thus, I will bite the bullet and test it on the NS server, until then it keeps running on my “old Orange Pi”.
Has anybody recently been able to run Domoticz on Nethserver?
I’m running ClearOS7 and able to compile a Domoticz package with the recent version.
But since ClearOS is becoming EOL, Nethserver looks like a perfect alternative.
The only important missing package is Domoticz at the moment
Domoticz is a bit more flexible especially with scripts.
A saw that there a docker image
Only i have no experience with docker at all.
Installation worked, but how to start?
I really think your Information is grossly outdated.
Home Assistant has moved light years in the past 2-3 years!
And not only supports almost any form of scripting, but you can create templates of your scripts to use elsewhere - or post on the Forum.
I’ve used Indigodomo, FHEM, OpenHAB, Domoticz and Home Assistant, and HA is my present choice.
HA is also Docker based, but easily iinstalls on Raspberry or on Proxmox.
It also includes stuff like Unify Network, Matrix, Kuma-Uptime, and many more.
What I really do not like about Domoticz is there is absolutely NO information who are behind this group. No About, no Impressum, no history.
I also prefer my HomeAssistant completly independant from Nethserver, as I need control while Nethserver may be backing up, updating or rebooting - and I don’t want to have to wait for lights to go on…
Still, have fun with Domoticz…
PS: It’s generally more advisable to create a new Post, than to revive a 3+ years old Post and make a Zombie of it!
I don’t know anything about domotica etc, but I was reading an article the other day about the Matter protocol that could be a holy grail and common ground for the zillion vendors?
It is in Dutch, but even ChatGPT nows how to translate pretty accurately
