Domoticz

A lightweight home automation system with a web-based dashboard for monitoring and controlling smart devices. Supports an extensive range of hardware and protocols out of the box.

What You Can Do After Deployment

1. Visit your domain — the Domoticz dashboard loads with the setup wizard
2. Add hardware — go to Setup > Hardware to add your smart home controllers (Z-Wave, Zigbee, MQTT broker, HTTP devices, etc.)
3. Create devices — once hardware is added, configure individual sensors, switches, thermostats, and meters
4. Build automations — use the Events system (Blockly visual editor or Lua/dzVents scripting) to create rules and schedules
5. Set up notifications — configure email, Pushover, Telegram, or other notification services for alerts
