libreelec come with python 2.7, and no way to modify the OS (in easy way), so should not work !

hi,
last one in libreelec addon come with newer:

Hello,

Wondering if anyone here also have the Temperature sensor of the RM2 report 38 degrees celcius one or two time in a row from time to time?

After lookiong at the logs, it seems that this is reported most of the time after triggering an IR command. Not sure if it the broadlink device itself which is in fault or the plugin misreading an info sending back value of "38" but not actually being temperature report?

Otherwise the sensor seems to be pretty accurate, I have a simple and "not connected" sensor next to it which is always within same 0.5 degrees range.

I am running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and using the latest python 3.6 broadlink module (v0.8). I believe the script needs to be slightly updated to comply with the updated connection string. We now have to pass a devtype ID as well with the host and MAC address. Here is a sample line:

Code: Select all

def broadlinkConnect():
    global device, brohost, bromac, devtype

    try:
        devtype = 0x279d
        device = broadlink.rm(host=(brohost,80), mac=bytearray.fromhex(bromac), devtype=devtype)
        device.auth()
        device.host
        print( "Connected to Broadlink device.")
    except:
        print( "Error Connecting to Broadlink device....")
        sys.exit(2)

    return True

Hi,
I still have the same problem than maximus with this log error :

2018-03-22 23:08:12.573 Error: (BroadlinkRM2) failed to load 'plugin.py', Python Path used was '/home/pi/domoticz/plugins/Broadlink/:/usr/lib/python35.zip:/usr/lib/python3.5:/usr/lib/python3.5/plat-arm-linux-gnueabihf:/usr/lib/python3.5/lib-dynload'.
2018-03-22 23:08:12.573 Error: (TV Controller) Module Import failed, exception: 'ImportError'

I can create the Broadlink Device but no switch device.
I currently use the beta version 3.9052.
Are we alone with this prob ?
Thanks to all ! =)

Hi Jeremy,


How do you have installed the beta of Domoticz.
On my Raspberry Pi 3 rasbian stretch i get the Message after updating from stable to beta "domoticz offline".

Which of the four files of broadlink we have to edit and paste in plugins/BroadlinkRM2/?
How is the install Workflow with python 3.5. and broadlink ?

Hi Maximus, as written on the wiki page, do you use putty soft ? :

cd domoticz
./updatebeta

Maybe try to /ping your pi, juste to be sure it's running or maybe /sudo reboot

Regarding the python 3.5 some people told me to go back to 3.4.4, but always the same log error

If you want to install python :

sudo apt-get install -y python3

[maximus]

Mmmh with ./updatebeta

I get the same problem can't start domoticz.

Ok i think it have to work with the stable domoticz. But how i have to cgange the plugin_http.py to get the Broadlink work with domoticz

Hi
I am having trouble with Broadlink and when it either stops me connecting with web browser or it stops displaying temperature data as graphs.

What is the link to download the correct files from dropbox or git hub.

There are loads of answers on this forum of what to install and what versions.
Would someone be kind as to list what should be removed and reinstalled with latest versions would be great

bit like and idiots guide or cheat sheet.

version Version: 3.8153 on Raspberry Pi
Many Thanks in advance

[parrotface]

Not talking to web browser problem solved. Problem was plugin.py was an executable but chmod 644 seems to solved the problem.

I now have a broadlink Hardware called test rm pro and 4 devices
test rm pro - Command
test rm pro - Remote
test rm pro - Import
These 3 devices are selector switches which don't seem to do anything

The broadlink RM pro is connected to the WiFi and using the Andriod app "e-Control" I can operate some 433 roller blind devices.
I am now stuck as how do I get Domoticz to learn commands from the Broadlink.

Any pointers to instructions or getting started document would be appreciated
many thanks

[moo2089]

HI,

Just a simple question:);
I operate plugin under windows since few months without any problem.
Now i am trying to transfer domoticz system onto small pc running ubuntu 16.04 LTS server on it.
Everything is fine except Broadlink plugin.
Seems, no error on boot, i can select "Broadlink with Kodi remote" as a hardware, but that is it.
No device/switch connects to Broadlink.
Under windows i have 2 switches; "Broadlink - command", that allows me to learn/test/save/reset ir commands with simple buttons and "Broadlink - remote", probably for Kodi.
After learn and save an Ir command, i have a new *.ini file in specific folder and i have a new device with the new ini file under device menu.
If i just simply add this device to a system as for example a dummy push button, it is ready to use.
Shouild i have same things above under linux as well? Or woking different way? Sould i have to define learn/test/save/reset as scripts for dummy switch/button?
Thanks in advance.

I had the message "Error Connecting to Broadlink device..." before, but now, after the modifications you done on the two files, it works, thanks !
For information, I have an Ubuntu server 17.10, python 3.6 and a rm mini 3.

I think it's a trick with Chinese caracter but not sure...

Is there anybody with this kind of error ?

Thanks again for your help

[ian13010]

Found a palliative with the suppression of special character (é, à, ',...) in json files.

Works great !
