Added "Fan Level" subdevice.

Thx, didn't tried it yet, because i have the lua scripts.

Great work!
Working flawlessy and is replacing my current bash + cronjob solution.

"Battery level" moved in new device. Before was an issue with status log change when just battery level updated, was floods in history log for "Status device".

As i see here, more devices using the same protocol are suppported:

i have two power strips but i have been not able to make it work

I don't have 6-port strips, but seems all should be ok. Did you get token and implement code for it in python script? (I see what python-mirobo doesn't have CLI mode for strip) Errors?

[martijnm]

As I read it, the script does not support the other "supported" devices:

Although this library (and tool) currently only supports the vacuum cleaner, some other Xiaomi products use the same underlying communication protocol (another source for vacuum-specific documentation), so patches for supporting other Xiaomi devices using the same protocol are welcome!

[mrinner]

Seems it should work, because I see strip.py in lib which is extended from basic "Device", so it should work, but not as CLI tool, just need some code to write.

Nice work !

Maybe as you have seen mi-robo can now drive xiaomi philips ball bulb (i put some element on the issue, was isn't working), it use miceil command, does it will be hard to add for you ?

[Martins80]

I'm sure it is hard to do. Im trying to write some code for the strip as i have the hardware, but i need some time to figure out how it works. Without the hardware is almost impossible to make it.

[cattoo]

Ive done as the page said, but when ill try to add the hardware, the type dont show only the Xaiomi gateway and no Vacuum
Running beta 3.8369

It works on stable release currently. Since beta 3.8367 python plugin system disabled for some period of time by developers of Domoticz. (ref. to issue viewtopic.php?f=6&t=19122)

Looking how this plugin is made.

Looks like it use a wrapper file to speak to the vaccum.

Wrapper is a good idea for all device supported by mirobo lib.

Also pip3 install mirobo is installing an old version for me, i have to gitclone and manual instt pyrhon-murobo to retieve miceil and other files missing

Yes, it's due some limitation of python plugin system (no asynchronous, callbacks etc..). I tried to use mirobo lib directly, but it doesn't work as expected, so for now it's through wrapper.

Well im back on stable och the Hardware is added, but now it shows me, what do ill need to change?

Code: Select all

[mrinner]

Hmm.. for testing purpose open the plugin folder and file plugin.py, then try comment lines and restart domoticz.

Code: Select all

import Domoticz
#import subprocess
#import os
#import json

Possible one of the system lib cannot be import, but it should work as it is python system libs... As I remember I got some error like you, but restart solved this issue.

yesterday i installed miio libraries and now i have the tokens for the power strips.

I think that we should group the wifi xiaomi devices in one develop thread as they share communications protocol...

Hi guys. I've run into a problem that I hope you guys can help with please.

So I've git cloned this and installed mirobo in the .vendor directory with all the requisites, and restarted Domoticz multiple times.

But, when I go to the Setup > Hardware screen, I'm not seeing the parameters for this plugin. Clicking on the Add button also does nothing.

It is as if Domoticz can't read the plugin.py correctly. This is no errors in the log, even with -verbose 2.

The PluginSystem is definitely started - "PluginSystem: Started, Python version '3.5.2'."

Any ideas please?



This is the latest stable Domoticz v3.8153, on an Orange Pi Zero, with Ubuntu Server 16 LTS.

Apt update and upgrade were performed prior to installing this.

Many thanks!
