Python Plugin: Broadlink RM2 V2

[DrJS]

@DrJS
hi, maybe you have mixed python version i.e; 2.7.x & 3.x ?? !!
if this is the case, pip command would install on the default one, which is probable 2.7.
you need to use pip3 if i'm not wrong, but first I would uninstall broadlink from 2.7 (pip uninstall broadlink)

Thanks for getting back so soon! I definitely used pip3 to install one version but I think you're right, I did find a version installed in pip.

pi@domoticz:/tmp/pip-l8yisscy-build/broadlink $ sudo pip uninstall broadlink
Uninstalling broadlink:
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/broadlink-0.3.egg-info

Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): pycrypto==2.6.1 in /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages (from broadlink==0.3)
Cleaning up...

However, I still don't have a broadlink folder under the dist-packages folder - I have NO idea where it's going, because the script (setup.py) seems to execute OK when I run the "sudo pip3 install ." command. I really wish the issue with 0.4 could be sorted! I'm having no success getting 0.3 installed. Gutted, was really hoping to have worked with this over the bank holiday.

Scrap all the above - I now see it Domoticz. Convinced more and more I had a corrupt zip file as lots of things seem to be affected.

However... when I add the Broadlink RM2 device under Domoticz, I don't get the same dialogue box tbat's shown here. I don't get any IP address for example, as something I need to complete. I'm upgrading my Python to 3,5 as I write this, so we'll see if that's made a difference but I'm on the latest Beta (3.7 something) for Domotiga and upgrading the overall system now. Anyone point me to why I'm not getting the full dialogue box?

@DrJS
and do you have created the BroadlinkRM2 folder under plugins and stored on it plugin.py ?
and when you restart Domoticz, do yhou have confirmation that all is ok regarding python plugin system:

@shoyboom
An advice: not real good idea to store your ini files under python directory...

for the plugin_http.sh, in fact I need to see what you have put on it!

[zak45]

to all:
please read this if not already done :

[zak45]

@shoyboom
and I think that your .sh file need to be set as executable.
this is what I have found about error 126

Yes to the BroadlinkRM2 folder, I've read the articles about chnmodding the py scripts too, done all that. I assume it's reading that, as I see Broadlink RM2 in the hardware - but I don't get the full set of parameters.
Where would I see this? I've looked at dmesg - there's absolutely nothing in my Domoticz log. When I restart the service from the command line I don't get anything like this...

This is all I get

Don't know if this a plugin or domoticz question. For my TC2 switches, it creates two set of codes ON & OFF. How do I combine that as one toggle?
Meaning not having two separate switches for ON & OFF.

The other thing to know about configuring the TC2, the plugin doesn't do the multiplication of HEX code for you. One will need to re-edit the ini file to see what work best.

If it's not too much to ask. It will be nice to be able to do the multiplication in Domoticz without manually multiplying the HEX in the "ini" file.

I'm having the same problem as well. Anyone can enlighten us on why we're not getting the configuration field?

Running on beta version. Even xiaomi gateway doesn't have the configuration column.

What could be the problem?

Just create a dummy switch and put on the on & off action necessary command. if you keep existing devices, you can use http / json to do that and if you decide to remove devices you can use script/command line to do the same.

for TC2, it looks like it's work.. nice.

I suppose you have imported code from e-control. ?? !!
Do not own this materiel so not able to test; have seen code need to be a multiple of 16, maybe put that in todo list...

[zak45]

try to see/read that :

if this not help, open a new thread as the plugin framework is still in beta. Provide as much information as possible, OS version, Domoticz build version etc ...

YES, I have managed to import the HEX codes using the manual transfer method, web transfer did go so well for me as it wouldn't connect.

So far everything works great except the TC2 I can't seem to fire as combine toggle, however, I can control each ON / OFF without any issues.
It was a field trip for me since I had two versions of TC2 with one batch needed a multiplication of 3 to trigger while others 6.

Coming back to what you said. In Dummy Switch setup can I copy the HEX to the ON & OFF action or there's more to it? I tried it but it won't safe.

And about existing devices setup, is there any documentation on this? I'm not sure where to begin as I don't have experience in this part.

All can be found on Wiki and on forum.

Once you have created your Dummy switch put on it your scripts:

hi,

I'm running latest beta on a raspberrypi.

i manually copied those json files to the ../import folder, since the webserver won't run. but when i pressed the "generate" button, i get this error

Code: Select all

User: Admin initiated a switch command (148/kids_ir - Import/Set Level)
(kids_ir) Calling message handler 'onCommand'.
(kids_ir) onCommand called for Unit 255: Parameter 'Set Level', Level: 20 , Connected : True
Error: (kids_ir) Error with json files to import

what could possibly be the issue?

thanks

tested at home, your Json files are ok, able to create more than 90 devices.
be sure to have put them on the right place:
need to be under ''Folder to store ini files"/import

I´m trying to configure Dummy switch. I copied command from log window, but it doesn't work :

Code: Select all

script://"/home/pi/domoticz/plugins/BroadlinkRM2/plugin_send.py" /home/pi/domoticz/plugins/BroadlinkRM2/broadlink\BroadlinkRM2-16-19.ini

Can somebody correct it please?
Thanks

I would do it in this way:
script:///home/pi/domoticz/plugins/BroadlinkRM2/plugin_send.sh /home/pi/domoticz/plugins/BroadlinkRM2/broadlink\BroadlinkRM2-16-19.ini

plugin_send.sh:
nohup python /home/pi/domoticz/plugins/BroadlinkRM2/plugin_send.py $1 &

make plugin_sh executable

not linux specialist, so correct what is necessary
