Python plugin: Sony Bravia TV

[lmet]

Remains the same
It's an android tv
This is what I'v done :
I enter Andoid in the PSK field --> KO
I'v removed the device from Hardware list, reboot system and add it again --> KO
I'v modify the PSK Key from sony to Android on tv --> KO
I'v modify the localtest.py and change psk = 'sony' to psk = 'Android' --> KO
May be not compatible with my KDL-50W755C model of 2015 ?
Clear browser cache and appcache done

@imet
I think Gerard meant to say, enter Android in the MAC address field on the Domoticz hardware entry for Sony TV. Leave the psk as sony in both Domoticz and the actual television (or anything that you want provided the television and Domoticz and the scripts all have the same)

[G3rard]

You're right, I meant the MAC field in the Domoticz Hardware page. The plugin checks for that value and then sends another command to switch the TV on.

The localtest.py is just for testing on the command line, changes there have no influence on the plugin.

PSK should be the same value in Domoticz and on the TV (I use sony as PSK).

[lmet]

It works great thanks to you both
So plugin is compatible with Sony KDL-50W755C

[G3rard]

That's good to hear! Will add your model to the supported TV list on the Github page.

KD-55XD8005 works fine also with version 1.2

The previous version caused Domoticz to crash with a python fragmentation error after about 2 hours, although the plugin 'devices' worked perfectly within that time. (I was able to reproduce this each time I enabled the plugin.)

Now with version 1.2 the plugin has been enabled for a day and is running perfectly.

Thank you for your hard work on this.

Same TV as mine and all working except volume feedback. Does your Domoticz update the volume to reflect the volume on the TV? As in if the domoticz is 30 and you change the TV to 20 using the TV remote, does your Domoticz change the volume slider in domoticz to 20?

Cheers

@simon_rb

Yes it does, change the volume with the television remote and it's reflected in Domoticz (after the update delay).

Turn the television off and the slider stays at the last setting and the switch shows 'Off' (as it should)

[simon_rb]

Its hit and miss whether the Domoticz gets updates from the TV.. Don't know why. Its not just the volume, none of the info gets updated from the TV. Then suddenly it will work for a bit then stop again. Strange

This is in the log, repeated a lot of times:-
Error: (Living Room TV) HTTPError: HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error

UPDATE:- Works fine when watching normal TV, its when I'm using apps like Amazon on the Android TV that there is no feedback to Domoticz. Soon as I got to watching TV via HDMI I start getting updates

[markcame]

After installation of the lastest stable version of domoticz i'm able to run the plugin without crash, but when i try to reboot or restart the service domoticz.sh it fail and became active(exited) and the web interface goes offline.
if i disable the hardware prior to make a restart and re-enable the hardware after all will be again up and running.
all is 100% reproducible on my system

It seems related with the creation of the object _tv = BraviaRC in onStart(self). but i have no idea how to fix it

I'v also coded the support for the cookie if you want can be integrated in the plugin

[miesjel]

I've installed the plugin and it looks amazing!

Unfortunality not everything works with my tv, a Sony KD-49X8308C Android TV. I'm not able to turn it on and change channels, but it does read the status of the TV. So it shows if its on or off.

Any tricks i might try to get it to work fully?

The test file, localtest.py does not seem to work, when typing ./localtest.py it says permission denied and when i use sudo ./localtest.py it says command not found (logged in via SSH)

edit: The log file:

2017-08-10 20:58:52.999 User: Admin initiated a switch command (50/Sony TV - Status/On)

Second edit: Only power on doesnt work, i can switch channels and turn it off, change volume etc.

Have you put in the plugin configuration the word "Android" instead of the mac address ?
the localtest instead must be run calling "python3 localtest.py" and must be configured proprely editing the file.

[G3rard]

Enter 'Android' (without quotes) in the MAC address field on the Hardware page in Domoticz and press Update.
Then turning the TV on should work.

To make localtest.py work, enter 'chmod +x localtest.py' on the command line via SSH. Then ./localtest.py should work.

@G3rard

At the end the version with the cookie is fully functional with auto renew based on access forbidden issued by tv, the first pairing must be done manually with a shell script then if you put "Cookie" without quote as PSK the plugin switch automotically to Cookie method.
if you want i cann pull on github

i didn't understand why both your and my version instead crash for segmentation only if the plugin is enabled and you restart the service or rebbot .
if you enable the plugin after domoticz starting no more crash for segmentatation.
the function called by plugin init i assume is the same if you restart or enable the hardware, do you agree ?
thanks
Marco

[G3rard]

@markcame,
Indeed strange that your plugin crashes on restart. Here it does not happen (RPi3 and Ubuntu Server).
Does it make a difference if the TV is on or off when restarting?
If you think it is related to _tv = BraviaRC maybe you can try this in the onStart().

Code: Select all

try:
    _tv = BraviaRC(Parameters["Address"], Parameters["Mode1"], Parameters["Mode2"]) #IP, PSK, MAC
except Exception as err:
    Domoticz.Error("Something went wrong (" +  str(err) + ")")

You can make a pull request on Github, please do that on the development branch.

[markcame]

no the status of tv makes no difference
i've tried to catch the exception but was not triggered, the crash happens during the load of the plugin if it is enabled
sometimes gives segmentation fault, somentimes not just crash, and somentimes Fatal python error

do you suggest other trials ?

[G3rard]

Do you have other Python plugins which work properly on restart?

But I am afraid I can't help you with this. Maybe @Dnpwwo can have a look at it?

No at the moment i didn't have other plugin if you can suggest another plugin that i can try to test if it survives at restart

[G3rard]

Well that depends on the hardware you have

But you could try https://github.com/ffes/domoticz-buienradar. That is a Dutch weather information plugin, but you could use that to see if it handles a restart.

Finally i find the root cause because also the buienradar plugin does not survive @ domoticz restart.

I have disabled dzVents from domoticz setting and now all is up running and survive to reboot/restart, i don't know why it happens.
