FAQ
TL;DR: One-device setup, ~1 s refresh, and "banally simple" [Elektroda, xury, #19622441; #19623134]. Domoticz scans I/O only at plugin startup [Elektroda, xury, #19623134; szczukot, #21063330]. Create a dedicated user/password [Elektroda, xury, post #19622969]
Why it matters: This helps Domoticz users reliably read Integra 128 Plus states and control outputs without guesswork.
Quick Facts
- Discovery happens only when the Satel plugin starts; disable/enable to rescan [Elektroda, xury, #19623134; szczukot, #21063330].
- Typical status refresh delay is about 1 second (sometimes less) after discovery [Elektroda, xury, post #19623134]
- Configure Domoticz with ETHM IP and Integration port; it auto-adds inputs/outputs [Elektroda, xury, post #19622441]
- Use a separate Integra user with a password for control-level access [Elektroda, xury, post #19622969]
- ETHM protocol change: command 0x7F may return 13 or 15 bytes (was 5–6), causing log surprises [Elektroda, szczukot, post #21063383]
How do I set up Satel Integra 128 Plus with Domoticz from scratch?
Add one Satel device in Domoticz. Enter ETHM IP and the Integration protocol port. Provide a dedicated user and password for control. Domoticz will discover inputs and outputs automatically [Elektroda, xury, #19622441; #19622969]. How-To: 1. Add hardware in Domoticz. 2. Fill IP/port and credentials. 3. Save, then wait for auto-scan [Elektroda, xury, post #19622441]
Do I add just one device in Domoticz and everything appears?
Yes. Configure one Satel entry with ETHM IP and integration port. Domoticz connects and adds discovered inputs and outputs for you [Elektroda, xury, post #19622441] Use a dedicated user/password if you need control actions, not only monitoring [Elektroda, xury, post #19622969]
How often does Domoticz scan Integra inputs/outputs? Can I force a rescan?
Discovery runs only at plugin startup. To rescan after panel changes, disable the Satel plugin (do not delete) and enable it again [Elektroda, xury, #19623134; szczukot, #21063330]. Expert tip: "It only scans when you start the plugin" [Elektroda, xury, post #19623134]
What update latency should I expect between Integra and Domoticz?
After discovery, state updates arrive with a slight delay around one second. Sometimes it is even less [Elektroda, xury, post #19623134] This is normal behavior for the integration protocol and Domoticz polling cadence [Elektroda, xury, post #19623134]
Domoticz shows an 'Unknown' item (e.g., 105). Why and how do I fix names?
Names can import as 'Unknown' when characters don’t parse, such as non-ASCII letters. Rename the item to ASCII in the panel or rename it directly in Domoticz, then rescan if needed [Elektroda, Daro1003, #19633083; xury, #19633893; #19623134].
Domoticz doesn’t show my macro output (e.g., 'Shed Button'). What should I check?
Check the device list for an 'Unknown' item that matches its index. The name may not have imported. Then rename, and if you recently edited the panel, restart the plugin to rescan [Elektroda, Daro1003, #19633083; xury, #19623134].
Can I open a door from Domoticz using an Integra output or macro?
Yes. Ensure the output used by your macro appears in Domoticz after a scan. Then use the created device in Domoticz to trigger it. The user confirmed door status via a reed on INT-SCR and sought the mapped output for control [Elektroda, Daro1003, #19633083; xury, #19622441].
How do I rescan devices after I add more inputs to the panel?
Rescanning requires restarting the plugin. How-To: 1. Open Domoticz Hardware. 2. Disable the Satel entry. 3. Enable it to trigger discovery [Elektroda, xury, #19623134; szczukot, #21063330].
I see 0x7F command errors or unusually long frames in logs. What do they mean?
The plugin shows raw frames for clarity. ETHM documentation changed: 0x7F may now return 13 or 15 bytes, not 5–6. That can surprise existing parsers. Scanning only on startup reduces repeated error spam [Elektroda, szczukot, #21063383; #21063330].
Will updating Integra or ETHM firmware fix protocol-related errors?
Staying current is sensible, but it may not change this behavior. The user noted updates likely wouldn’t help this specific issue, which stems from protocol responses [Elektroda, Daro1003, #21063472; szczukot, #21063383].
Which objects does the Domoticz Satel integration import?
Inputs and outputs are imported automatically after connection. Other object types depend on the plugin build and configuration, but the thread confirms I/O discovery [Elektroda, xury, #19622441; #19623134].
Can I monitor a reed switch wired via INT-SCR in Domoticz?
Yes. A user synchronized a reed on INT-SCR and saw door status in Domoticz after discovery. Ensure the input is defined on the panel and then rescan if needed [Elektroda, Daro1003, #19633083; xury, #19623134].
What’s the best practice for credentials when integrating ETHM with Domoticz?
Create a separate Integra user with its own password for Domoticz. Assign only the needed control rights to that user for safety [Elektroda, xury, post #19622969]
Changing a device name in the panel didn’t fix 'Unknown' in Domoticz. Why?
Name updates are pulled only during discovery. If you renamed an output, restart the plugin to refresh names. Encoding issues can still force a manual rename in Domoticz [Elektroda, Daro1003, #19633915; xury, #19623134; Daro1003, #19633083].
I don't even understand if these are bytes sent or received.
