v3.14.1: Change in Domoticz blocks

This version contains quite some changes in the handling of Domoticz blocks. This version may contain breaking changes.

• getExtendBlockTypes

• block parameters

getExtendedBlockTypes

If you make use of getExtendBlockTypes in your CONFIG.js then you have to change your blocktypes definitions.

Creating custom blocktypes derived from the block name is not supported anymore. It’s suggested to use a regular block definition in CONFIG.js.

In this release additinal block parameters have been defined, which include the parameters that were configurable via the blocktypes.

The configurability of other blocktypes is enhanced. If you want to define custom blocktypes via the getExtendedBlockTypes function it’s suggested to analyze the code in ./js/blocktypes.js. No additional documentation is available at the moment.

Subblock of P1 Smart Meter

One subblock of a P1 Smart Meter displayed both the P1 and P2 values (high and low tariff). This specific subblock is not available anymore. You can use the (new) block parameter showvalues in combination with multi_line to get a similar block as follows:

blocks['p1withbothvalues'] = {
  idx: 43,
  showvalues: [6,7],
  multi_line: true,
}

You can replace multi_line with single_line or combine it with showsubtitles as needed.
