Plugin configuration

There is no global configuration options for this plugin.

Create the domogik devices

Domogik device type : diabox.diabox_name

There is one device declared per diabox station, but the configuration is exactly the same for each device.

Here is the example with the device diabox.minou (Phare du Minou (29))

2 parameters are needed for a domogik device creation :

Key Type Description
device string The identifier of the diabox station. This identifier must be unique. If you want to have only one device for this diabox station, you can leave the default value (Example : dbx_Minou).
interval number The time in seconds between each time the diabox station is monitored. It could not be less than 60 seconds (prevent server overloading). 600 seconds (10 min) sounds great.

Start the plugin

You can now start the plugin (start button) and use the created domogik devices. If you created a new device after you started the plugin, you need to stop & start the plugin again.

Set up your widgets on the user interface

You can now place the widgets of your devices features on the user interface. Enjoy.
