Python Plugin: Broadlink RM2 V3

[Andree]

I can not believe it.I installed the x64 versions of Python.
The wiki was also specified to use x86.
Shame for me!
Now with Python 3.5.3 x86 I installed everything and the devices appeared.
Tonight I try to configure the various actions, I hope I have no problems anymore.
Thank you Zak and sorry for the trouble

Many thanks Zak, it works perfectly with both of my Broadlink RM Mini 3.
Thx for your work!

Hi, after some quick diagnostic assistance.

I've got the Broadlink configured (successfully I assume) within my Domoticz. I can use it through the Android bridge, so I know the IP address, MAC address etc. are all correct.

However, within Domoticz, it doesn't appear to work. So I went to the Linux shell and executed the plugin_send.py against some INI files that I know have correct codes, but nothing happens. It doesn't even make the Broadlink orange light come on, yet the IP and MAC are correct.

Anyone know how else I can diagnose this? I've put various print commands within the .py and confirm that the python script is working and with all the right variables. I've downloaded the plugin_send.py again in case it has been updated, but a diff shows no changes. Obviously it's never going to work within Domoticz if I can't run it from the command line, but I'm at a loss why it's not working.

I've tried:

python3 plugin_send.py ini/BroadlinkRM2-7-34.ini
sudo python3 plugin_send.py ini/BroadlinkRM2-7-34.ini

Neither has any effect. This is the last part in getting this plugin to work so I'm really frustrated I'm probably missing something obvious!

Anyone have any thoughts how I can fix/diagnose this?
Thanks so much.

Here are the log lines when I invoke a button press: from the logs, you'd think it was working, but the RM2 never receives it (it doesn't light up, for example...)

Hi Guys,
I made new installation of domoticz on Rpi after instant crashing last weeks. For few days I was testing with all my hardware and its now stable. Now Im trying to install the most important thing and Im desperate.
I installed Python 3.4.2. and everything was running as should. Than I installed Broadlink

Code: Select all

sudo pip3 install Crypto
sudo pip3 install broadlink
sudo pip3 install pyaes
sudo cp -r /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/Crypto/ /usr/lib/python3.4/
sudo cp -r /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/broadlink /usr/lib/python3.4/

and copied files into domoticz/plugins/BroadlinkRM2

Code: Select all

plugin_send.py
plugin_send.cmd
plugin_http.py
plugin_http.cmd

after reboot i cant connect to domoticz via browser at all
When Im runnig domoticz via ssh ./domoticz, it starts to load everything till it comes to Broadlink version 3.0.0 and its over.

I tried everything what I could find on forum but no effect

Code: Select all

cd /home/pi
sudo rm -r /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/broadlink*
git clone https://github.com/mjg59/python-broadlink
sudo pip3 install python-broadlink/
sudo cp -r /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/broadlink /usr/lib/python3.4/
sudo systemctl restart domoticz.service

As soon I rename plugin.py in domoticz/plugins folder domoticz is running wit error message

Code: Select all

2017-07-22 22:26:00.252 Error: (BroadlinkRM2) failed to load 'plugin.py', Python Path used was ':/usr/lib/python3.4/:/usr/lib/python3.4/plat-arm-linux-gnueabihf:/usr/lib/python3.4/lib-dynload'.

2017-07-22 22:27:00.501 Error: Broadlink hardware (13) thread seems to have ended unexpectedly

Can someone help me please?

[zak45]

@michaldobrotka
you have installed pyaes
do you have also copy it ???
sudo cp -r /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/pyaes/ /usr/lib/python3.4/

FYI: you need only Crypto or pyaes, both are not necessary on v3

[michaldobrotka]

HI @zak45
Thanks for your respond,
I just copied it but no change, after that i uninstalled Crypto but still same error.

[michaldobrotka]

Hi @zak45,
Yesterday after I updated to latest beta I tried It again. I was able to run the plugin, even to configure Broadlink device, and I added one remote command for test. I restarted device and no error occurred. I went to bed. This morning I checked Domoticz and it was down again. It lasted not even one hour running.

I couldn't get this to work on my rpi - i am currently trying to see if python 3.6.2 compiled from source will help.

While waiting forever for it to compile, I moved my Domoticz installation to a different machine (24c xeon running Ubuntu 16.04 lts) and it is working perfectly. Thank you so much, @zak45

I basically used your import functionality and learn mode to map my AC remote in excel and then wrote a quick vba script to create the ini files. I tested them in the CLI and it worked.

Last step is to write the lua to combine the AC Setpoint value with a selector switch (e.g. Off, ac fan low, ac fan high, fan only med) to trigger the right IR command.

Is there anyway to so multiple IR commands in one INI file?

Yesterday I uninstalled broadlink and pyaes and installed all new.
Added Broadlink in hardware an recorded some commands. Everything was working just fine, no errors, no delays, no cpu increase until I restarted domoticz. Then again no connection to system via browser.
Is someone who installed broadlink recently on raspi got it working on python 3.4.2?
Thanks

try using it on V3.5 or greater of Python. For RPI, you will need to manually compile it.

You can also try making the following change to the plugin.py, as per the wiki:

developer info
this code : learnedCommand=str(ir_packet.hex()) is pecific to python 3.5 or >, not work on 3.4

replaced by : learnedCommand=str(codecs.encode(ir_packet, 'hex_codec')) ( & import codecs ) to have it running in 3.x

[jackslayter]

Hi,
it's possible to learn code in standalone, like send ?
thx

[Paint]

At the moment, all learning has to be done via the broadlink import process or via the widget the plugin creates

My domoticz is crashing and going to offline several times a day after ensbling this plugin. This is the last message in the log before it happens:

Disable the temp sensor on the hardware page in domoticz.

Actually the temp sensor was the main reason I added the plugin, to get the indoor temp.

From my experience, the rm pro temp sensor is the only one that is accurate...and it's not that accurate.
