ZigBeeForDomoticZ plugin Wiki
Plugin statistics
To understand how the plugin is used, the plugin sends anonymous usage statistics to the project’s own Matomo server (https://z4d.pipiche.net). This page describes exactly what is sent, when, and how to stop it.
How to opt out
The statistics are controlled by the MatomoOptIn setting (“Enable the plugin to collect informations for analytics purposes…”), in the WebUI Settings page, Available services section. It is enabled by default.
At any time, uncheck MatomoOptIn and save: the plugin stops sending statistics immediately, no restart needed. Check it again to opt back in.
At each start, the plugin log reminds you that the statistics are on:
Z4D sends analytics information. (if you need to disable, disable the MatomoOptIn parameter via the WebUI - Settings)
Note that the Allow Internet access (internetAccess) setting doesn’t control the statistics: use MatomoOptIn.
What is sent
The statistics are sent by the plugin itself, from your Domoticz host. The WebUI doesn’t track you: it has no tracking code and sets no cookie.
How your installation is identified
Each plugin instance is identified by a SHA-256 hash of the IEEE address of its coordinator. The hash lets us count installations without knowing the address itself: the coordinator IEEE address never leaves your host.
There is one exception: on RoneLabs hardware (detected with the /etc/modelinfo file), the raw coordinator IEEE address is sent too, for hardware-specific support.
As with any request over the Internet, the request reaches the Matomo server from the public IP address of your connection. Matomo anonymizes this IP address: the full address is not stored.
Installation information
Every 6 hours, and when the plugin starts and stops, the plugin sends:
Information
Example
Domoticz version
2026.3
Coordinator model (radio type)
Coordinator firmware version
Plugin version
9.1.007
Version of the certified devices database (z4d-certified-devices)
Network size, as a category
see below
Operating system distribution and version
Debian GNU/Linux 12
Python version and CPU architecture
python 3.13.5 arch 64bit machine aarch64
Time since the plugin started, as a category
1 day, 2 weeks, …, Beyond 6 months
Raspberry Pi model, if any
Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.4
RoneLabs model and raw coordinator IEEE address, only on RoneLabs hardware
The network size is the total number of devices (routers and end devices), sent as one of these categories only:
Category
Devices
unknown
0
Micro
1 to 4
Small
5 to 9
Medium
10 to 24
Large
25 to 49
Very Large
50 to 74
Xtra Large
75 or more
The plugin sends nothing about your devices themselves: no device model, name, address, or value.
Events
The plugin also reports these events:
- plugin started, restarted, stopped;
- the coordinator formed a new Zigbee network;
- plugin upgrade from the WebUI, successful or with errors;
- you enabled or disabled MatomoOptIn (the opt-out itself is the last thing sent).
Why?
We are a small team of volunteers who share our time to develop this plugin.
With this little feedback, you tell us which coordinators, firmware, Domoticz and Python versions and platforms are really in use, so we can test on them and concentrate our efforts where they are most needed. From time to time, we may publish aggregated trends (for example the share of each coordinator type or plugin version).
Thank you.
