Discovery, basic questions and thanks

Hizo · June 19, 2021, 4:34pm

Hello,

I’m discovering home automation as well as Gladys, which is very pleasant and super user-friendly, everything works well in a few minutes (Sonoff with Tasmota, Xiaomi Zigbee with a zzh key!).

Really, it’s excellent work, thank you very much!

I have two questions to which I have not found an answer:

Is it possible to execute an external command (like a bash or python script) during an action?
Is it possible to play a sound during an action? (For the purpose of having an audible alarm if the door opens, for example).
The first point could easily manage the second if the latter does not exist.

A very big thank you to the creators and the community around

Hello @Hizo and thank you for your message!

Yes, you can use the MQTT integration to trigger an external script in a scene

I made a video tutorial on YouTube:

Watch the tutorial from 6:39

I create an actuator in the MQTT integration (a lamp), and then in my script I listen to an MQTT topic.

When the device is triggered on Gladys’ side (in a scene or via the dashboard), I receive a value (0 or 1) on the script side, and I can trigger whatever I want.

Of course, I made this tutorial in Node.js, but it’s possible in Python or any other script.

This is not currently possible, but indeed if you create a small MQTT « sound » device that sends a 1 when it’s time to play a sound, you can play the sound in your script as soon as your script receives 1

Don’t hesitate if you have questions, is it clear?

Thank you very much,

my bash tests work well using mosquitto.

However, I don’t understand why, but the link between MQTT and Zeegbee2MQTT is no longer working, Gladys displays a red cross between the two…
Both are indicated as started, however.
I restarted the dockers and the raspberry but it doesn’t change anything…
Any ideas?

J’ai limité aux log depuis ce midi (limite de la taille du post).
En sachant que j’ai fait pas mal de tests

Jean34 · June 22, 2021, 7:30pm

Give me the result of these commands please

docker logs gladys-z2m-zigbee2mqtt

docker logs gladys-z2m-mqtt

Hizo · June 23, 2021, 10:36am

I changed the location of the raspberry and now everything works even though I didn’t change the configuration…

Thanks
