Domoticz for YunoHost

Lire ce readme en français.

This package allows you to install domoticz quickly and simply on a YunoHost server.
If you don't have YunoHost, please consult the guide to learn how to install it.

Overview

Domoticz is a Home Automation system design to control various devices and receive input from various sensors. For example this system can be used with:

-Light switches

-Door sensors

-Doorbells

-Security devices

-Weather sensors like: UV/Rain/Wind Meters

-Temperature Sensors

-Pulse Meters

-Voltage / AD Meters

-And more ...

Shipped version: Always the last stable one. The last compiled version is retrieved from this directory Once installed, updates from the uptream app are managed from within the app.. Yunohost upgrade script will only upgrade the Yunohost package.

Configuration

Sensors, language and this kind of stuff

Main configuration of the app take place inside the app itself.

Access and API

By default, access for the JSON API is allowed on following path /yourdomain.tld/api_/domoticzpath. So if you access domoticz via https://mydomainname.tld/domoticz, use the following webpath for the api : /mydomainname.tld/api_/domoticz/json.htm?yourapicommand

By default, only sensor updates and switch toogle are authorized. To authorized a new command, you have (for now) to manually update the nginx config file :

sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/yourdomain.tld.d/domoticz.conf

Then edit the following block by adding the regex of the command you want to allow:

  #set the list of authorized json command here in regex format
  #you may retrieve the command from https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Domoticz_API/JSON_URL's
  #By default, sensors updates and toggle switch are authorized
  if ( $args ~* type=command&param=udevice&idx=[0-9]*&nvalue=[0-9]*&svalue=.*$|type=command&param=switchlight&idx=[0-9]*&switchcmd=Toggle$) {
    set $api "1";
    }

For example, to add the json command to retrieve the status of a device (/json.htm?type=devices&rid=IDX),modify the line as this:

  #set the list of authorized json command here in regex format
  #you may retrieve the command from https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Domoticz_API/JSON_URL's
  #By default, sensors updates and toggle switch are authorized
  if ( $args ~* type=command&param=udevice&idx=[0-9]*&nvalue=[0-9]*&svalue=.*$|type=command&param=switchlight&idx=[0-9]*&switchcmd=Toggle$|type=devices&rid=[0-9]* ) {
    set $api "1";
    }

All IPv4 addresses within the local network (192.168.0.0/24) and all IPv6 addresses are authorized as API. As far as I know, there is no way to filter for IPv6 address on local network : You may remove the authorization by removing or commenting this line in /etc/nginx/conf.d/yourdomain.tld.d/domoticz.conf:

allow ::/1;

This will authorized only IPv4 within local network to access your domoticz API. You may add individual IPv6 address in the same way.

YunoHost specific features

Supported architectures

Both ARM and x86 architectures should be supported. Compiled sources are directly downloaded by the package.

Limitations

• No user management nor LDAP integration This function is not planned to be implemented into the app, hence it's not planned into the package neither.
• Backup cannot be restored on a different machine type (arm, x86...) as compiled sources are different
