PlayBlub (Bluetooth Bulb) Python Plugin - Beta tester Wanted

[deennoo]

If you have some Time and knowledge you can search which Handle are use to drive color and effect

I can give you à Small how to, that easy to do but long.

[poudenes]

I have some knowledge to do some tests, my biggest issue i can't program . So if you tell me how to do it, then i will test it.

[deennoo]

ok i think that we just need to have some value, i send you mp for this

[Mediacj]

Hi Mediacj,

have you this issue on every heartbeat ? or just one time ?

i think it's just an init error in my code, i will see that ASAP

I managed to get them working without your great software with the gatttool, but I had to change the address for handle color from 0x0016(in your plugin.py) to 00x0019 in gattool to let it work. So there seems a shift of 3.

Domoticz: 3.7243
Python: Python 2.7.9 (python -V)
but also Python 3.4.2 (python3 -V)
Bulb: Playbulb Candle
Firmware: BTL300_v6

Thanks! I also changed the address in plugin.py but that didn't help for the connection errors, this is what I get now with your new version:

UPDATE: I have it working now on my Raspberry Zero W, but not under Ubuntu 16 server which is my main system. I thought they both had the same problems. But your last version works fine on my Raspberry Zero W.

the plugin can't connect to your candle when you see this message, so you should :
- check hci you have configure, (hci0, hci1 or hci2) you can check device available when running hcitool dev
- check mac address
- check if your candle is on
- check nothing other is connect (don't know if some playbulb can have multiple connection at the same time)

Thx for your respond but I have done that already

It is hci0 I have the correct mac address and it is on, under gatttool it works with these parameters. And I switch it off and on and disconnect the bluetooth connection before I go back to Domoticz.

But it works under Rasp Zero W now, only thing is when I switch the playbulb effect to off the candle is switched off, so I can't set it to no effect.

[zaraki673]

downoad it again, you will have btle error code in log now, then we will see where error is

[Mediacj]

Done that! And now it works just recompiled bluez etc. because I got a exception error on it. To be more specific, this was the solution, it seems that there is a problem under Ubuntu with the compiling of Bluez:

Code: Select all

cd "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/bluepy-1.0.5-py3.5.egg/bluepy/"    
sudo make

One thing I had to remove a extra ':' in your source on line 572 (::) because it gave a error in the Domoticz log when starting.

Many thanks for your help!

Thank's I remove it

Using the latest plugin.py with my Sphere - Spot (fw:BTL203M_V1.6) work so nice!!!

Hope the development will go on so we get less switched and a color picker multi color switch like Philips Hue
