Aren't you working with loxone? Is there a way to contact you?

Very interesting video, thanks! I was wondering how you add more than 1 device. I understand your device was preset to address #1, what if your other device has the same? I am doing my first Loxone project and are about to start adding 3 modbus meters to my modbus extension and wonder if you have some advice!

how is the loxone server understand communication with this device, is it some kind of standard protocole so we can add this device from config as modbus server ? And can we threat this device worth 20$ equivalent to loxone modbus extention 250$? :O

which was the microphone? Do you have a aaz link?

Forefox has a plugin for wrbserial, but it rarely works as it should. I just use cli esptool.

Nice share! I wonder if any custom PCBs may help? We're open to sponsor free service for a potential collab! (PCBWay zoey)

Super Video! Danke

Mustard on the beat 😂

Great Video Information. Thank You!

Nice work Niko, perfect tutorial.

Really useful content 👍🏼

Thank you for this tutorial! i have been wondering if this could be done with Loxone. Now to try and figure out how to integrate this with the motion sensors so that each tread of stairs will turn on and off in sequence. Would it require multiple ESP32 or could it be done with a single board?

Solid tutorial, good work

In my opinion, it's better to use the WT32 module and connect it via Ethernet. I'm currently in the process of creating a PCB for a TH35 rail enclosure. If the tests are successful, I will gladly share the project. It's also worth adding a logic level converter because the GPIO provides 3.3V, so there might be issues with properly driving the LEDs over longer distances. It's also important to remember that digital LEDs consume a relatively large amount of power in standby mode, so it's worth cutting off the power via a relay, which is an option in WLED.

Congrats! Very good explanation! You tried with addresable rgbw led strip too?

Very nice work!

Thank you very much for the video.

can you use Modbus rs light switch? as they are way cheaper?

I've used Virtual Output a lot in my project. I now wanted to use it for the Nanoleaf Shapes in my home. I need to fill the HTTP Body for ON string. In the documentation it says I can use \1 \2 \3 \4 to get bytes from the values sent. That would be wonderful so I can use that for the RGBW values. But it does not seem to work. Any clues?

Hi Nico, would you be able to help me read data from my Chlorinator controller? It has RS232 communication and I have the serial communication instruction from the producer. I have searched everywhere to find some examples but I am totally lost. Thank you.

Nico, Thank you for the video! If you have several cameras connected to an NVR do you have to separate them into individual function blocks, or can they all be on one function block? Does the processing speed of the PC or raspberry matter for speed of transfer of video?

Thanks for sharing. For long-term accurate readings of total consumption, I would probably use the registers from the "Total energy accumulator" section instead. Active Power becomes less accurate with lower poll frequency because it does not know when, if, or how consumption changed between readings. Also, there is a cheaper option: you can connect a pulse consumption meter to a digital input. It can be two or three times cheaper, and you don't need a Modbus extension. The downside is that you need a digital input for each meter, and you can only read consumption.

How is this helpful tho i don't understand?

Why does this man need a hair dryer, he has no hair

Better value buying the dmx module IMO. Then you can have as many channels as you need for cheap and can have mixed voltages. 12/24VDC

Where’s your back up battery??

Very interesting use of these modules. I have 4 RGBW modules in my install which I am not actually using yet so I amy consider some alternative use cases if some channels are not used.

Great Videos!. Is great, to learn different ways to do things on the Loxone System.

Hi, can you please tell me the brand and model of the dimmable 24v lightbulb? I've been searching for them for a bit but could only find non dimmable ac/dc 24v bulbs... Thank you!

can you show me how to automate watering my house plants? thanks

sir need the part two please

why you choose /dev/sps/io? can be only dev/ for example? thanks

This could be automated in factory

Hello Nico, thank you for this detailed video. For my part, IP cameras only seem to broadcast in H265. Do you think there is a way to retrieve this stream from the mini server without having to use the application developed by Andrew, directly without leaving a PC on permanent standby?Thank you in advance for your help

Hello, nice to learn, unfortunately i have gen1 miniserver, so i can not use https (for reading electricity prices). But i have another task - i have photovoltaic unit conneted over modbus, that works for me fine. But i want to send a command via actuator that sets power overflow to grid from 0-10000W ... i made a virtual analog input a connected to actuator. But problem is i need to send sequence of commands, first to IO adress 0 a password (1234 for example) and after that to adress 66 a value of power lets say 10000W ... i dont know how to do this sequence... can u help me ? thanx

Hi, thanks for the awesome content. Can you please let me know if it is possible that if a miniserver can send the change events of all devices connected to it on a single endpoint on my backend server. If yes, then how can I achieve it?

Hi, thanks for video. I just did everthing as you did and got success. However, I tried to go futher and tried to get an image when ringing. In the description of cam2web application I found the address to capture images: "ip:port/camera/jpeg", but for some reason it is not working. Of course, I wrote my IP and port:). Can you help me with this?

I like videos, there not so many content about loxone in english (mostly german), Can make tutorial how to connect 3rd part devices to loxone? Zigbee, z-waze etc?

great videos! Related to this topic - is it possible to enter a value (dollar amount) while using the Loxone app (let's say the price of diesel per liter for a backup generator) to use in energy management calculations? The price paid varies and the easiest is just to add the price/liter on the spot. Thanks!

Thanks for the nice Video and explantion. Is it possible to integrate Sonos Speaker through this way into the Loxone system?

If i understood it correctly then If I want to control two or more function blocks of the same type I cannot use only one VTI but I have to use two or more of them, because function block identification in command is not unique per function block instance but per function block type, right ?

Hi. Thank for your efforts! Can you explain what is the main advantage of having API? If I understand well, this example could be performed via app or a touch switch. Maybe I am wrong. But please help me!

Hey Nico, Is it possible that it only works for non Gen 1 Miniservers? Because it looks like I can't use https in the url

Thank you Nico! Loved the video! I am quite a Loxone nab and I want to use the API connector for outputting to 3d party devices. So here's a suggestion: API connector for controlling 3d party devices. Keep it up man!

Hey, whatever controller I try to query to for the state responds with value of 2 and nothing else in the json.

Awesome! Thanks to your clear explanation and details I have able to pull weather data into the mini server. You rock!
