Python plugin: Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Topic is solved

[tonejay]

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!

Hi guys ! got the same problem ! any solution ??

Hi,

Yes I've found the solution. For me anyway, I don't know if your problem is the same.

To cut a long story short, it is to do with the browser. Firefox / Firefox ESR / Chrome don't work. But for reasons IE11 does! IE! In 2017! I didn't try Edge or mobile browsers.

I am unsure why that happens, and it seems like other people don't have the same problem. There's no error in the console. I haven't dug deeper to check the DOM elements or JS code etc.

That just a basic LUA event on a selector switch, nothing hard on this, all is explain on the wiki, and your question isn't Xiaomi Vaccum robot specific

There an easy tool to retrive your token if your an android user :

https://github.com/ultrara1n/MiToolkit/releases

This tool is a windows one, plug your android device on usb debug mode, run mitoolkit.exe and click "verbindung prûfen"

once done choose :

"Token auslesen"

Your phone will ask you to confirm "saving data", say yes and don't use a password. wait a bit, mihome app will open, and backup will start.

Then token list will be show in a separate windows.

This run with a Xiaomi robot fw : 3.3.9_03077

and then of course this run with this plugin !

@DAVIZINHO,

This message appears if the plugin heartbeat is set to greater than about 30 seconds.

Plugin functionality is not affected.

I set the heartbeat to 30 sec and it seems to be crashing Domoticz a lot. Any ideas please?

I have also a strange issue. I get the message: wrong key lenght. I see on the instructions the key lenght should be 32 characters. Mine is 96. I follow all the instructions from an iOS backup through the use of ibackup and SQLLite. I get a key, but it appears te be to long?? Anyone else has this issue? My fw is 3.3.9_003077.

[llheim]

I had the same problem and the python scripts found on other sites didn’t work so I used: http://aes.online-domain-tools.com/

As input paste your key (don’t forget to tick ‘hex’), the key is 32 zeros (00000000 etc, again don’t forget to tick ‘hex’)

Then click decrypt and your 32 character key will show in a box in the bottom right of your screen.

Plugin updated to 0.1.0

Added:
1. Care devices with status (Main Brush, Side Brush, Filter, Sensor)
2. Care reset control
Updated:
New communication way with python-miio. Now Domoticz plugin connects by tcp/ip to local server which communicate with robot, this way allows plugin works without blocking domoticz python system as was before.

Problem with a new version. Installed as described in wiki.

2017-11-06 00:07:23.357 Error: (xiaomi-mi-robot-vacuum) failed to load 'plugin.py', Python Path used was '/home/pi/domoticz/plugins/xiaomi-mirobot/:/usr/lib/python35.zip:/usr/lib/python3.5:/usr/lib/python3.5/plat-arm-linux-gnueabihf:/usr/lib/python3.5/lib-dynload'.

[mrinner]

Seems like I forgot to add one command in wiki.
All required libs need to be installed under virtualenv and then plugin should read .env folder:

Code: Select all

cd xiaomi-mirobot
virtualenv -p python3 .env

source .env/bin/activate # new command

# and after activating virtualenv:
pip3 install gevent msgpack-python python-miio==0.3.1
# after installing:
deactivate

Also you can run test script for check local miio-server. This script runs server and send 'status' command to this server:

Code: Select all

cd xiaomi-mirobot
python3 test.py ROBOT_IP  TOKEN

[llheim]

I tried to install the new plugin but installing python-mio==0.3.1 gives an error:

error in cryptography setup command: Invalid environment marker: platform_python_implementation != 'PyPy'

I managed to install gevent and msgpack-python separately. The error in Domoticz keeps the same:

Module Import failed, exception: 'ImportError'
Module Import failed: ' Name: msgpack'

[mrinner]

I tried to install the new plugin but installing python-mio==0.3.1 gives an error:

Google said what issue possible due outdated setuptools. Try this:

Code: Select all

sudo pip3 install -U setuptools
# also make sure you have installed:
sudo apt-get install libffi-dev libssl-dev

Also make sure you under virtualenv when installing packes:

Code: Select all

cd xiaomi-mirobot
source .env/bin/activate
pip3 install gevent msgpack-python python-miio==0.3.1

At the end of installation you can check installed libs in .env/lib/python[NUMBER]/site-packages. Folder msgpack, miio, cffi etc. should be there.

[llheim]

Yes I found the same answer on Google Unfortunately upgrading didn't work, I already had installed the most recent packages. However when I checked the folder I noticed the msgpack files weren't installed so I tried installing msgpack-python again. That seemed to do the trick because the error in Domoticz changes to:

Error: Expected: myVar = Domoticz.Connection(Name="", Transport="", Protocol="", Address="", Port="", Baud=0)
Error: (Mi-en) 'CConnection_init' failed 'TypeError':'Required argument 'Protocol' (pos 3) not found'.

Progress!

The installation error for python--mio is now:

error in cryptography setup command: Invalid environment marker: python_version < '3'

Strange because I have python3.4.

[llheim]

Ok found the answer. Upgrading the setuptools is the answer but you need to ugrade in the virtualenv.

[llheim]

Last update for today. The installation now went without errors but it does't work (i also have python-miio installed and that does work so it is not a token issue). The error in Domoticz stays the same (see above) and an other error appears:

Error: CConnection_connect:, illegal operation, Plugin has not started yet.
Trying connect to MIIOServer 127.0.0.1:22222

From test.py gives:
trying connect to 127.0.0.1:22222
sent request to server [status]
reading response...

And there it hangs.
