Hello.

Do you think about repeat option for command as in Broadlink RM Plugin?
HTTP request in that plugin looks like:

Code: Select all

http://172.16.1.123:7474/send?deviceMac=xxxxxxxxxxxx&codeId=l1467826269529&repeat=10

[zak45]

if you need for some reason to repeat the command, I think that all is already there:

Capture.JPG (67.97 KiB) Viewed 6861 times

in this case this will repeat the code 3 times.

And even more , on LUA script, you can use :

commandArray['IR/RF RM2 Salon TV On'] = 'On REPEAT 2 INTERVAL 1 SECOND'

[sisaenkov]

In some cases this way doesn't allow to repeat 5-10-20 times. For example, when you volume up/down your TV or stereo.
Also it's impossible when On and Off actions are different.

Hello! I have updated the 3 files (plugin.py, plugin_http.py and plugin_http.sh) however when I try to execute a command it shows the following in my Domoticz log:

2017-04-23 20:08:22.580 (Remote Controller) onCommand called for Unit 11: Parameter 'On', Level: 0 , Connected : True
2017-04-23 20:08:22.580 (Remote Controller) Generate on Command for learned code stored on unit :11
2017-04-23 20:08:22.580 Error: (Remote Controller) ini file not found: /home/pi/domoticz/plugins/broadlink/commands/BroadlinkRM2-15-11.ini

the files are definately in the correct location!
Any ideas?

Ta,

Fraser

Hi,
maybe this :
/home/pi/domoticz/plugins/broadlink

The plugin now follow the best practice for implementation, this mean folder name = plugin name
try to rename /home/pi/domoticz/plugins/broadlink by /home/pi/domoticz/plugins/broadlinkRM2
in the same case, a new entry into DEFAULT section of the ini file need to be there : customname.

[zak45]

@sisaenkov
of course, this is only example.
Now with script / command line you can repeat code as many time you want

[maninblack30]

Perhaps easier for me to learn all my commands again?

I did move all the ini files to /home/pi/domoticz/plugins/broadlinkRM2/
and changed the path in the hardware section, but it still gives the same error:

2017-04-23 20:29:03.889 Error: (Remote Controller) ini file not found: /home/pi/domoticz/plugins/broadlinkRM2/BroadlinkRM2-15-11.ini

In some cases this way doesn't allow to repeat 5-10-20 times. For example, when you volume up/down your TV or stereo.
Also it's impossible when On and Off actions are different.

I have found a workaround for this. Learning mode is active until the IR/RF-command is still sending. So I create ini-files with different time of IR/RF-command learning.
But broadlink can send IR command for only 1 second.

I tried to install earlier on a rpi3 but never got any success. Now I have installed domoticz on a separate linux computer but same result.

I have tried all directions I have found both in the forum and in the wiki. I have installed python 3.4 and python 3.5, tried installing using both pip and pip3.

When I get to this step: "sudo pip3 install broadlink"

Code: Select all

burton666@debian:/usr/local/lib$ sudo pip3 install broadlink
Collecting broadlink
  Using cached broadlink-0.4.tar.gz
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

        except ImportError, e:

You are using pip version 7.1.2, however version 9.0.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

Hello Zak45, it turns out the path I had on the old install ended in a \ so all the ink files were named "\BroadlinkRMx-x.ini" so once I renamed them all, and added the customname line, it all worked well!

Thanks,
Fraser
