Python Plugin: Broadlink RM2 V3

[NomenNescio]

Using Rafal's method I manage to get the Broadlink RM2 with Kodi remote in Domoticz.
I can see the temp of the Broadlink RM2 but however I can switch the learning mode on nothing happens after putting the receiver on (with remote).
The according folder is created in Windows (C:\BroadlinkRM2 with the two subfolders, but it stays empty.

I'm on windows home server 2011.
Domoticz version: 3.8025
Build Hash: 37b51336
Compile Date: 2017-06-28 06:32:47

Broadlink is working fine with e-Control on android
Domoticz works fine with milights.

i don't know why it keeps failing for me, i uninstalled all 3 plugins (crypto, broadlink and pyaes) and also deleted the directory's.
Then installed all 3 again:

Try by removing pyaes. Looks like problem with it, just keep Crypto.

I couldn't see in the wiki. Is it possible to have several remotes? MAybe adding several hardwares with the same broadlink.

And the most important, I've tried everything I read in the wiki for the remote, I have added the ini and everything. And still in Off. I have a raspi and the broadlink is workin. Any hint?

Thanks i will go trough it tomorrow and try some things out.

[Phantom]

i was just to curious to see.
I have manged to get it to work, i really want thank you a lot for your assistance. This plugin is awesome.

So this is what i did.
when i installed broadlink again and also crypo and copied both to the /usr/lib/python3.5 i noticed that the one in the 3.5 has no capitol C for Crypto
i tried to rename it but that did not work.
Then i looked in the folder /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ and there is saw Crypto with a lot more files then in the 3.5 one.
So i copied that one "sudo cp -r /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/Crypto/ /usr/lib/python3.5/" restarted Domoticz and everything works.

Off option is not possible. I have added a .ini file with the number (idx) of the remote control created by broadlink. Probably I made something worng, but I can't find what is it.
The ini file is plugin_remote_38.ini
( 38 Broadlink 000800FE 254 Broadlink - Remote)
The code inside is :

Code: Select all

[Custom]

command = 37,36

37 and 36 are the idx of broadlink switches.

[zak45]

@ToneStrife
if I have understand well, you have give the wrong idx.
this should be the Hardware Id provided by Domoticz for the RM2 plugin e.g
