Domoticz controlling an Global Cache IP2IR using Wire

[boudicca]

My fun with Domoticz / an Global Cache itach and some cheapo IR led lights using a super set of linux tools called Wire

Hello boudicca,

can you tell me more how you managed get it to work with domoticz?
What for script do you exucute?

[Flopp]

I manage to make it working in command line and I will try to make a virtual button to send the command. I will update here

Great find indeed. I created a virtual amplifier using a virtual selector switch (dummy selector switch switch). The different levels are named after the different inputs of my amp. On selecting an input an action is performed and each actions contains a reference to a shell script. E.g:

#!/bin/bash
/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/Wire/wircmd -i 192.168.178.27 -r SonyAmp -b Power
or
/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/Wire/wircmd -i 192.168.178.27 -r SonyAmp -b Tape1

The IR-codes are stored using the wire function in text files. This works well.
Once you have the virtual amp the thing can be used in scenes.

might be useful info:

if you are running domoticz on Raspberry pi and scripts are executed under "root" (not "pi" user), you will have to create config file for "wire" by running "sudo path/wire" and editing after wards wire.conf and remotes in /root/wired/ (/pi/wired/ settings will work from regular shell).

Otherwise you might be getting Error 256 when calling "wire" via bash script.

IR codes can be easily found here https://irdb.globalcache.com/Home/Database
It takes max 5 minutes to convert them via excel to the format of "wire".

P.S.
Try to avoid spaces in button names. Replace them with underscore.

P.S.S.
It is fun to start the TV via Siri, change channels or control volume.

Thanks boudicca & aram for the info!
Saved me a lot of time getting my irtach wifi to work.

Can report that this working on cubietruck platform as well.

I managed to install everything via the link, but now I try to integrate this into domoticz.
I made a file soundbar.sh and put the following in it:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/Wire/wircmd -c 3 -i 192.168.1.54 -p 4998 -r Soundbar -b power 

In the virtual switch I create the link to the soundbar.sh script.
The problem now is that I get the following error in the log of domoticz:

Code: Select all

Error: Error executing script command (/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/soundbar.sh). returned: 32512

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I do not know how I got it, but now I get the following error:

Code: Select all

Error: Error executing script command (/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/script_soundbar.sh). returned: 256

In a previous message here the following is written:

Can someone help me with that because I do not understand much of what I have to do. I have already searched on this forum and google how I can do it but I do not find anything right back.
