Hello,

Could someone explain how I play a sound based on a program or an event? Ideally through a client but failing that through the server?

I would like to play a warning sound should a condition not be met when the user is changing a mode.

Thanks

Hi,

For now I control my harmony hub via comfortclick with a workaround.

I do a http command to a raspberry pi running a http server with node.js and it calls harmonyHubControl which can access the harmony hub using activtiy and command ids.

This is great because you can teach the hub new IR commands.

So I can not only start activities but also control IR relais and sockets (cheap stuff).

I just read that harmony has released (don't know when) and API for the hub. Any plans to integrate this as a device in comfortclick?

This would make things much easier and I add a lot of value to your product.

Hi Support team,

I have a project that uses many Modbus Devices (Reference #1)
My protocol settings
Driver\Enable: True
Error Handling: Reconnect
Will work normally initially
Values\Connected: Trues (Reference #2)
After a period of operation
For some unknown reason, the Modbus protocol causes Values\Connected\Value: True to change to False.
Causes Modbus Device to fail to operate
Check that the physical network device and Modbus device are not faulty
The important finding is that bOS also has no error messages
I think because there is no fault abnormal signal in bOS, the parameter setting of Reconnect has no effect.

Disposal method:
Log in to bOS Configurator
Manually
set Driver\Enable: True
change into
Driver\Enable: False
Cultivation again
Driver\Enable: True
Such operation can restore normal function operation
But when something goes wrong, the customer's on-site environment shuts down immediately.
Exclusion actions require our assistance in running the program

Need help
what is the solution
It allows me to use a program to detect Driver\Enable: True
and driver\enabled: False
Automatically re-execute
Driver\Enable: True->False->True

This problem has happened many times
And every time it happens, not all Modbus devices will have the same situation happen simultaneously.
We cannot monitor the running status of the client bOS system all the time
Whenever the customer's equipment shuts down abnormally, the customer will notify us to handle it.
Several incidents gradually raised questions among customers about the stability of our systems.
Therefore requesting assistance in providing a solution Thanks

Looking forward your reply
Best regards

I thought I'd create a new feature request thread that consolidates known feature requests into one topic. Please feel free to add your own requests here.

Here are some updates I've been waiting for:

1. Improved search options - for user logs and general devices. Some logs have filter/search options, but most of them don't. If we need to debug user logs, it can be challenging to find specific entries, especially in a large apartment building with 180+ apartments.
2. The ability to disable/enable drivers from themes/programs.
3. The option to insert links into the bOS web browser/camera jpeg links directly from a program.
4. The option to disable the bOS internal chat or limit chat access to admins only.
5. The ability to export data to Excel, particularly metering values and other relevant information for building managers
   
6. Better graphs for analog logs - zooming and pinpointing values. 
   
   Forum feature - make it so the user/topic creator is able to edit its posts - it lets you edit for only a short time period after posting.

Hello everyone,

There a bunch of times, where I'm sitting at the office in my workstation, and I need to turn on the office table light.

I could:

1. Move my ass and reach to the office entrance, and push the KNX button
2. Pick up the phone, open the bOS app and navigate into the office room to turn on the light
3. Open the bOS Windows app and do exactly the same

But honestly I was looking for a quicker way to turn on/off the office light while I'm at the computer.

So I opened Microsoft Power Automate, and created two flows to work with bOS RPC API:

• One flow to turn ON the light; And a shortcut to fire it up (CTRL+SHIFT+L)
• One flow to turn OFF the light; And a shortcut to fire it up (CTRL+SHIFT+D)

And that's it! Now I can quickly turn on/off the office table light while I'm working, without having to open the bOS apps, by using the bOS RPC API and Microsoft Power Automate.

Lazy asses, you can thank me later :D

Best regards

Hi I'm using the weather control to display today's temperature and the weeks forecast on the main dashboard.

I use the text to voice to provide some basic information about current temperature outside and the temperature inside when the morning mode is initiated.

I'd like to also provide today's forecast maximum, but the values aren't available to be referenced, although the graphic control displays them.

Does anyone know if I can get the forecast temperature value for the current day?

Thanks  

Hello,

I have one proposition to improve the color picker addon/function. Now bOS allows us to use four separate values for RGBW channels. Additionally we have no enough possibilities to convert it to different kind of values, required by the other devices/systems. For example - KNX uses only RGB, Yeelight RGB in consolidated decimal format...

I believe that for Comfortclick Team is it very easy and simple to add additional values, to use it alternatively to separate channels. My proposition:

What we have now:

R - decimal 0-255 or 0-100

G - decimal 0-255 or 0-100

B - decimal 0-255 or 0-100

W - decimal 0-255 or 0-100

What is needed:

R - HEX 00-FF

G - HEX 00-FF

B - HEX 00-FF

W - HEX 00-FF

RGB - decimal (R*65536+G*256+B) 0-16777215

RGB - hex 0x00-0xFFFFFF

Do anybody need something else? What do you think about this?

Best Regards,

Artur

Hello everyone,

First of all, hope you all had a very nice Christmas, with all the beloved ones.

I'm using some Philips HUE sensors, and I was actually using some of them to turn KNX lights on.

The problem, is that we need to constantly pool the API, which is time and resource consuming for the HUE hub and Comfortclick.

Philips HUE updated the API to the v2, and they have some interesting features, like the events, which allows to keep a constant connection to a data stream, and get realtime updates without the need to constantly pool the HUB.

https://developers.meethue.com/develop/hue-api-v2/migration-guide-to-the-new-hue-api/#Event%20Stream (Login needed to see the API docs)

Side note:

I have to trick the HUB about the sensor. The sensor needs to be active, and for that at least one HUE light has to be linked. But on my case I don't want to turn on any HUE light, but rather a KNX light. For that, I link the sensor to a random HUE light, and set the actions to do nothing when detecting movement (so I can just extract the true motion from the json).

Back to the topic:

So I've tested the curl command, and I really get the realtime updates, and it looks awesome.

Problem: I can see this realtime updates on the Windows console, by using the curl command, as stated on their documentation:

curl --insecure -N -H 'hue-application-key: ' -H 'Accept: text/event-stream' https:///eventstream/clip/v2

But, I would like to do this on ComfortClick. I've tested several options, but none of them worked.

Anyone can eventually enlighten me, if it's doable?

Hello,

I used a pin code to lock access to a theme panel, but when I press the X at the upper right corner I still have access to the panel.

All version are the latest, I tried it with Android and Windows Client. I also tried it in a different server. The result is the same

I have a Jigsaw server. The weather data is no longer being provided - all data is zero. This server has been operating correctly for a number of years and the weather data was displayed yesterday. No config changes have been made. The Jigsaw has been restarted. The DNS is correctly resolved by 8.8.8.8 and nslookup from the SSH shell returns the correct IP addresses for www.comfortclick.com and the weather data source, The location code is correct and I have re-checked this. It would appear that the Comfort Click bridge server / api is returning all zeroes. The behaviour is the same on my Windows one user test server.

Can you please investigate and resolve?

Thanks

Andy
