what is the problem ?

Hi everyone !

I have just installed the Domoticz. I have copied the two perl scripts and saved them in the scripts directory of domoticz. But there are nothing to see on the webpage. I have surely missed something, but I dont know what. Maybe some kind people can guide me further

[steppi]

Hello guys! I successfully installed the script on my raspberry - domoticz. Unfortunately I have a problem (as always happens), this is my situation:
On / Off Switch OK
Temperature of each Melcloud OK
Set Temp Melcloud NO!
(If I set a temperature, then I'm going to check on Melocoud app for iPhone or from https://app.melcloud.com site - unfortunately not recorded)
How can I fix? thank you!

Hi !

When i try the report, i have a litle.... problem !

Code: Select all

pi@Domorasp:~/domoticz/scripts$ ./melcloud.pl /report
'"' expected, at character offset 4 (before "Success: false, Erro...") at ./melcloud.pl line 271.

The configuration seems ok..

Code: Select all

pi@Domorasp:~/domoticz/scripts$ ./melcloud.pl /check
############################
# Check configuration:     #

the line 271 from melcloud.pl : my $decoded = JSON->new->utf8(0)->decode($_);

I try to change the room on melcloud without floor , but still the same.

I don t know where is the problem, if someone can help me..

Thanks !

I also, can't get it to work, it's seems to be something wrong with the structure when parsing data from Melcloud

According to http://mgeek.fr/blog/un-peu-de-reverse- ... r-melcloud it should be
[x].Structure.Floors[y].Areas[z].Devices[a].ID
So I added some debug code to line 273 (Version 0.6)

foreach my $building (@$decoded) {
@devices = @{$building->{'Structure'}{'Floors'}};
debug("1: ".$building->{'Structure'});
debug("2: ".$building->{'Structure'}{'Floors'});
debug("3: ".$building->{'Structure'}{'Floors'}[0]{'Areas'});
debug("4: ".$building->{'Structure'}{'Floors'}[0]{'Areas'}[0]{'Devices'}[0]);
debug("5: ".$building->{'Structure'}{'Floors'}[0]{'Areas'}[0]{'Devices'}[0]{'DeviceID'});
debug("6: ".$building->{'Structure'}{'Floors'}[0]{'Areas'}[0]{'Devices'}[0]{'DeviceName'});

This is the output
C:\Melcloud>perl C:/Melcloud/melcloud.pl mode warm TV
1: HASH(0x3d97978)
2: ARRAY(0x40c97c0)
3: ARRAY(0x40c94d8)
4: HASH(0x44bd2a8)
5: 41902
6: TV

As you can see I get the ID and a correct name

When I change it to the other heat pump, which in my case is on another area in the same building
debug("5: ".$building->{'Structure'}{'Floors'}[0]{'Areas'}[1]{'Devices'}[0]{'DeviceID'});
debug("6: ".$building->{'Structure'}{'Floors'}[0]{'Areas'}[1]{'Devices'}[0]{'DeviceName'});

C:\Melcloud>perl C:/Melcloud/melcloud.pl mode warm TV
1: HASH(0x3efac90)
2: ARRAY(0x3efcb00)
3: ARRAY(0x3efb110)
4: HASH(0x3cf7408)
5: 52503
6: Trappa

A diffrent ID and the expected name

So I change the structure in Melcloud to this

Skärmklipp.JPG (36.49 KiB) Viewed 6561 times

and then runned the script
C:\Melcloud>perl C:/Melcloud/melcloud.pl mode warm TV
Update setMELDeviceMode : OK
Update setMELDevicePower : OK

[miljume]

Relly interesting plugin!

I am trying to adapt it to fit my heater but is unsure what to edit in the .pl script for controlling the device

I guess you need to edit both config.pl and the script?

For the fan control I added

Code: Select all

setMELDeviceFan($devicesInfos{$name}{'idx_fan'},$infosAirCon);

under "Arguments" and

Code: Select all

$devicesInfos{"Heater"}{"idx_fan"} = "109";

in config.pl for Device 1

The idx is mapped to the selector switch in Domoticz

Correct?

And I am also lacking information on how to control the fan vanes.
Is it the same principal that for the mode selector?

One more question, What's the difference between

Code: Select all

setDomDeviceStatus

and

Code: Select all

setMELDevicePower

Which one of them will I use to control On/Off for my heater?

Anyone that can point me in the right direction?

[miljume]

Some more problems I stubled upon

The script runs fine but doesnt update the temp sensor, I receive the following error

Code: Select all

Use of uninitialized value $result in concatenation (.) or string at ./melcloud.pl line 541.

At row 541 is the following

Code: Select all

debug("receive from domoticz: ".$result);

and above that row

Code: Select all

my $result = domSendJSON("type=command&param=udevice&idx=$idDomDevice&nvalue=0&svalue=$deviceInfos->{'RoomTemperature'}") if /(?:status\"\ :)+(.*?),/s;

Code: Select all

receive from domoticz: 

is also blank

Could it be this that makes the temp sensor not to update and how can I solve it?

It also seems that I can't update values from Domoticz and make them update MELCloud
For example when I change the mode from Warm to Cool it says "Update setMELDeviceMode : OK" but nothing changes

When I use the script with arguments everything updates OK

Any tips on why?

EDIT: I start to realize that there is no "automatic" connection Domoticz -> MELCloud through idx and that you need to use script commands for updating MELCloud. Is my assumption correct? In that case, how do I implement control from Domoticz to MELCloud (for selector and switch you could add script commands but what about setpoint for temperature?)

Hi

Same issue with "mail.adresse\@mail.adresse" in dometicz MEL_login variables.
With "[email protected]" it work fine but I get new errors

Code: Select all

Hello !

I made a script to control the device on domoticz, you just have to create a selector to call the script :

If the parameter is identical (warm...) the command is not send to accelerate the process.

Sorry for my poor english

Hello,

Sorry for the delay.

I create a python plugin for manage MELCloud devices.

It is easier to use. You can find it on the Wiki: http://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Plugins/MELCloud.html

This is the first version. You can control Power, Mode, Fan, Temp from Domoticz.

If you change unit from remote, for now it only sync the power and mode state.

An update should come quickly to sync all states.

I hope you will enjoy it. You need to use beta version of Domoticz because python plugin is not yet in official release

Update: The version 0.2 is avaible on the wii page

[MrOlivier]

Hello,

I have a little problem with MELCloud plugin in my Raspberry.
0 device is find.
The debug says :

MELCloud Login success. Key ID:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Find 0 devices in MELCloud
Calling message handler 'onHeartbeat'.

Normally I have one building and 2 devices.

Have you an idea ?
Thanks a lot for your help !

[gysmo38]

Hello,

I know what is the problem.

I devide the building in areas and put devices in area. My script only search in areas.

I will change my script to search in floors, areas and directly device.

I will send you an update when it is done.

Fred

[gysmo38]

Hello,

I update the version on the Wiki page (http://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Plugins/ME ... stallation), I hope it will work for you now

Fred

[MrOlivier]

Thank you very much, it works much better !

But Domoticz detects just one device.
I have PARENTS and ENFANTS and just PARENTS is detected.

And when I send a command with Domoticz, the other instructions have changed to default in the MELCloud application.
I don't know why.

Log :
(Climatisation) 'onHeartbeat' failed 'KeyError'.
(Climatisation) ----> Line 408 in /home/pi/domoticz/plugins/Melcloud/plugin.py, function onHeartbeat

Olivier

EDIT: Vertical fins of my devices can only be changed manually. I'm trying to test without these lines of code

[MrOlivier]

Ok now, all my devices are detected after isolating the code from the vertical and horizontal fins.
But I have an error on ligne 406 now.

Hi,

Mitsubishi in Australia seem to use a variation of this controller (MAC-559IF-E) and a different site (http://app.melview.net). Any chance someone smarter than me can work out if this can be modified to work?

Thanks,
Wob76

[gysmo38]

@MrOlivier : I made new test, it work for me. Maybe try to delete in hardware melcloud plugin and create it again. It should work.

@Wob76 : I can try if you want but I need an access to the website to made test. Let me known in PM.

[Wob76]

@gysmo38 : Seems I am not yet active enough to send a PM, so I'll wait to see if I can unlock that.

The site does have a "demonstration" login, not sure if that will give you the required access to test. Once I can PM I am happy to supply you with my details for testing.

Hi! Any chance that someone would convert this script to support Vera?

[italoc]

i'm using the perl script and work great, but i have a problem with SETTEMP virtual sensor, it's impossibile with this sensor to set a custom temperture

have some idea?

thanks
