First-install notes

  • Match the MQTT topic and item Use a tool like MqttExplorer to copy the exact MQTT topic (the message channel name) and item field into the plugin JSON; if either is wrong, Domoticz won't receive or show that device's data. source
  • Choose the right Domoticz device type Set type/subtype/switchtype to match the kind of device you're adding, such as a switch, lock, or temperature sensor; wrong values can make the device look incorrect or stop updating. source
  • Back up your plugin JSON config Save a copy of the plugin's JSON configuration file somewhere safe; if it is deleted or corrupted, Domoticz loses the instructions for turning MQTT messages into your devices. source

Common questions

What are the default credentials after first installing Domoticz?

The default username is admin and the default password is domoticz.

How do I access Domoticz from a phone?

The user interface is an HTML5 web frontend that automatically adapts to desktop and mobile devices.

Which Z-Wave stack does Domoticz use?

Domoticz uses openZwave to communicate with Z-Wave devices, and some devices may not be supported.

Why isn’t an MQTT-mapped device updating in Domoticz?

Copy the exact MQTT topic and item field into the plugin JSON and set the type, subtype, and switchtype to match the device. Wrong values can make the device look incorrect or stop updating.

What should I do if added hardware prevents Domoticz from starting?

Disable all hardware rather than deleting it. If Domoticz cannot start, open its database with a SQLite editor and inspect the hardware entries.
