Solar Energy¶
The home of DomotiGa got a bit greener.
MetDeZon installed a 1.750kW solar system last week.
Unfortunately the maximum which can be physically installed on our roof.
New version 1.0.004¶
New version 1.0.004, you must upgrade your database.
Please make a backup of your database and DomotiGa directory tree first!
Some device module code enhancements.
Added support to publish data to PVoutput site, thanks Pieter!
Fixed uptime date layout.
Remove unused database fields.
Added X10Sec protocol to Mochad interface.
Added Omniksol database changes. (code follows)
Code cleanups.
Switching development to Gambas3 versions only.¶
Due to a chronical free time shortage I decided to only continue development on DomotiGa3 and DomotiGaServer3 from now on.
So please all install the Trunk version of Gambas3 (can be done next to Gambas2) and report any bugs.
I'm preparing to develop for Gambas3 only soon, so no updates or new versions for Gambas2 come out anymore.
If you have issues getting Gambas3 to run on your servers, please let us know.
You can find the code in the DomotiGa3 and DomotiGaServer3 directories.
Make sure you use/install latest Gambas3 trunk revisions if you encounter any problems.
Chromebook Pixel¶
OK call me nuts but I got myself a Chromebook Pixel from the States. (not an Apple fan here)
Played with ChromeOS for two days, wiped it and installed Ubuntu 'Raring Ringtail' 13.04 on it ;P
It runs Gambas3 and DomotiGa already!
So I finally found a nice, compact laptop with a good screen resolution to develop on. I'm very happy!
This will surely boost development of DomotiGa on Gambas3.
I will post some howto's and tips and tricks soon.
Working; keyboard, camera, sound, wifi, bluetooth, touchpad and touchscreen
Not working yet; acpi powerdown when lit closed, Fx key mappings, other things not discovered yet.
Here the modified driver for Raring Ringtail.

DomotiGa and Gambas 3 development.¶
In the svn repository you can now find a directory called 'DomotiGa3'. It's the first attempt to port the DomotiGa GUI to Gambas 3.
We want to speed up development since the newer Linux distro's cannot run Gambas 2 any more.
Please try it, and report any related bugs in the forum thread called
Started a blog.¶
I just started a small blog about mostly non-DomotiGa related issues and fixes.
Maybe they can help you too.
You can find it here http://domotiga.nl/projects/domotiga/wiki/Blog
Gambas repository location changed.¶
Sourceforge repository has been upgraded.
Sourceforge has upgraded the Gambas project from its old management software to the new one.
Consequently the subversion repository have been migrated to a new place, and all the checkouts you have done on your local computer are now invalid, you must do a new full checkout again.
The new command for Gambas 2.24.0 is:svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/gambas/code/gambas/branches/2.0
orsvn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/gambas/code/gambas/trunk
for Gambas 3.x
DomotiGa and NFC tags.¶
David Bruno created and shared a nice youtube video on how to control your DomotiGa setup just by scanning tags with an NFC capable phone.
It involves installing NFC Task Launcher, and defining some actions.
Look here: http://youtu.be/n8XMgk9sjag
Thanks David!
DomotiGa on Raspberry Pi¶
I started a wiki page with info on how to run DomotiGa on your Raspberry Pi board.
You can find it here RaspberryPi
Home¶
DomotiGa is Open Source Home Automation Software from the Netherlands. It is written in Gambas Basic and runs on Linux.
You can read all kinds of sensor values with it, let it detect motion and schedule lights at certain times by the use of several hardware, for example an RFXCom receiver, Xanura CTX35 A10/X10 controller and Midon TEMP08 1-wire interface and more … It is released under the [source:/trunk/COPYING GPL v3 License].
The latest version can be downloaded by using [source:/trunk svn].
svn co http://svn.domotiga.nl/domotiga/trunk/ domotiga
This will download the complete tree in the directory called domotiga. Use the menu on the right to learn more about this project.
You can follow me on Twitter @domotiga
