Python Plugin: Broadlink RM2

[shoyboom]

hi everyone and thank you for the plugin.
i installed it on my raspberry and i works grate.
have a question.
how can i combine several battens to one switch. ex " power on/off, hdmi1, hdmi2....."?

thank you
yaron

Hi,

After you have created the individual buttons, create a Selector Switch from the Dummy Hardware, then you can use the jason interface to define the sub-switches:-





You can find a comprehensive explanation of the Jason Interface in the Domoticz Wiki.

All,

plugin updated to be compatible with version < 3.5.
wiki updated http://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Plugins/BroadlinkRM2.html

@shoyboom
see wiki

thanks

hmmm interesting...ive upgraded to 3.7x beta...but i dont have a plugins folder....
ive manually created
ive run setup from admin cmd
interestingly it says setup complete, but it only takes like 2 seconds and domoticz doesnt restart....
possible conflict with server 2016?

[kniazio]

Does the plugin recognize 433MHz RF codes?
Because he sees no.

I just tried this plugin on my rpi, but I can't get it to work. It looks like I have pyhon 2.7 installed, I tried the instructions and replaced the path python3.4 with python2.7 and downloaded and copied the files to the right location. But It still does not work.

I also wonder about the plugin directory, is it domoticz/plugins? And you are supposed to create the broadlink -folder yourself and put the .py files there?

I also tried upgrading the python version to a newer like it said in the beginning of this thread, but that does not work either. I still only have the python2.7 in the specified location and pip3 does not work.

Try this
sudo curl -L install.domoticz.com | sudo bash
apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install python3.4.2
sudo apt-get install python3-dev
sudo apt-get install libpython3.4
sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
sudo pip3 install broadlink
sudo pip3 install Crypto
sudo cp -r /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/Crypto/ /usr/lib/python3.4/
sudo cp -r /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/broadlink /usr/lib/python3.4/
sudo service domoticz restart
copy plugins plugin.py and plugin_send.py (version for python3.4) to ..../domoticz/plugins/Broadlink/
config broadlink plugin in domoticz and set path for BroadlinkRM2-3-2.ini file to /home/domoticz/plugins/Broadlink/

[burton666]

Ok, just tried it. the two first commands worked but then when it got to the python-command only this happened:

Code: Select all

Hi, thanks for this great plugin. Unfortunately, I'm unable to get it to work on RPI3. the issue I'm having is similar to @kniazio

Are we suppose to create a folder then copy the files into or something else. The other thing is, does the plugin supports 433mhz radio?


I tried installing Python 3.5 by running the following script. It does it thing and I get this
Raspberry Pi pi @: ~ $ -version python
Python 2.7.9
ft @ Raspberry Pi: ~ $ python3 -version
Python 3.5.1
ft @ Raspberry Pi: ~ $ -version python
Python 2.7.9
ft @ Raspberry Pi: $ ~


Installing Python 3.5.1
cd ~
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.5.1 ... -3.5.1.tgz
tar -zxvf Python-3.5.1.tgz
cd Python-3.5.1
. / Configure && make && sudo make install

[zak45]

yep,
433 is supported by broadlink module and work for me.
I do not have experience on linux but others already has been able to install it.
wiki has been updated for that.

[kniazio]

I want to inform you that the plugin recognizes 433MHz RF codes.

[jlites00]

how are you guys getting the plugin to work on RPi 3? I've tried so many times with no luck. I've followed all the steps and even got Python 3.4 & 3.5 installed. I see it has created a Broadlink & Crypto folder but no plugin folder. Am I suppose to create one?

what am I doing wrong in my steps? any help will be very much appreciated.

[zak45]

if you do not have it, just create it.
you need also to be on domoticz v 3.7xx or >

[jlites00]

Thanks, ZAK45.

I realize I was running 3.5 and I've upgraded to 3.7. In Domoticz folder I see a folder plugins and there are some examples plugins in it. So I created a new folder labeled Broadlink with plugin.py in the folder. So.... /home/pi/domoticz/plugins/Broadlink

I finished off with a sudo reboot, I now see Broadlink RM2 show up in Hardware but there no Param field. I've included a screenshot for your view. My guess is the plugin not launching or it could be something else due to Phyton 3?

[andi216]

Thanks for integration Broadlink RM. It works really well (raspberry pi v3).
I tested only the infrared.
I have a question. I connected Broadlink A1 and displays only the temperature.
It is possible to display the rest function (Noise, illumination, humidity and air quality)?
I do not know anything about programming.
Thanks in advance for answers.

[jlites00]

I did a fresh install of Domoticz 3.7, Python 3.5 & Broadlink modules on Raspberry Pi V3. It seems to be working now.

Any idea what the error message below is? I get it every time SAFE is hit despite the int file saved in the Broadlink folder.

Is the LEARN process same as IR & RF 433?

Is there a way to auto-discover the Broadlink hub existing connected devices on Domoticz?

Last but not least, is the plugin compatible with Broadlink TC2 Switches?

Overall great learning curve as I've learned quite a bit. Thanks, ZAK45...

[zak45]

@andi216
do not own A1 device, so not able to test, sorry.

@jlites00

this look like
gaierror: [Errno -2] Name or service not known...

Are you sure of the IP address/mac address of your Broadlink RM2 / RM Pro device ??

the learn process is the same for RF/IR

on param "Folder to store ini files" just replace \ by / everywhere

if you read the wiki, there is a way to auto discover Broadlink RM2 device and display IP address & mac in Domoticz log

if you own other Broadlink device, I will suggest also to let only the Broadlink RM2 connected to network during initial settings.

[jlites00]

I did double check the IP & MAC, its the same as the logs

Found the problem to "ini" the ID labeling has to be right on the switches or it will get confused.

As for INT

... still can't get RF to Learn though but IR, Learns fine.

Just an update. Following @andi216 & @zak45 tip on "Folder to store ini files" directory, they both worked as copied below with no Errors.
