Iobroker with loxone

[Kornilios Plouti]

Hi all,

Hope you are well.

I am trying to use iobroker fro the first time. Is anywhere any guidance as to how to implement iobroker in loxone config?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance.

Kind Regards,

Install ioBroker. Install the Loxone adapter. Job done.

ioBroker requires login credentials for a Loxone user (I have a separate Loxone user for this purpose and recommend the same). Any blocks that are visible in the Loxone web UI by this user automatically appear as objects to be read or written to in ioBroker. You don't have to do anything else in Loxone config - it really is that easy.

Maybe we could help more if you told us exactly what you are trying to achieve though.

Also playing with this - I have got iobroker running on a pi4 with loxone, Lg tv and Samsung TV. Via the iobroker web interface I can get each app to work ie TV channel change and loxone lights. 

What I can't work out how to do is (I use loxone switches but only ones by external doors or bed side use tripple tap all off/night mode), I want the lounge switches to double tap just lights this works but add a tripple tap switch off lights and tv, how do I create the link in iobroker ?

You need to create something in Loxone that is visible to your ioBroker user (shows up in the web interface) and connect the multiclick's triple click output to it. You can use a memory flag, virtual output or state for this, whichever you prefer. After doing this, make sure that output appears as a new object ioBroker.

Then in ioBroker create a tiny script (use blocky, rules or the text interface) that watches that object for a change and when it's value goes high (ie. a multi-click has been registered) performs the action you want by updating a target object (ie. set TV power to 'off').

HTH,
