Python Plugin: Broadlink RM2 V3

[satanasinc]

Finaly it works in domoticz, or a part at least. The main problem like clement99 says is stable version.
But now i get in the log "2018-03-17 17:26:00.816 Error: (TeleDormitorio) Get Energy error" So i cant see the power consumption.
Someone has solved this problem?.

There is a problem in the version available in pypi. Download the one provided in dropbox : python-broadlink-master-0.6.zip
unzip it, go to the folder and do 'pip install .'

yep.. you need to first unzip it.
go to the folder where you have unziped it and where setup.py is located.
type this command:
pip3 install .
--> do not forget the '.' (dot) at the end.

Hi!

First of all run this 4 commands to uninstall old files
Pip uninstall Broadlink
Pip3 uninstall Broadlink
Sudo pip uninstall Broadlink
Sudo pip3 uninstall Broadlink

Now copy to your /home/pi folder and unzip the Python-broadlink-master.0.6.zip file from the shared Dropbox

Then cd to unzipped folder an type ..
pip install . (Don’t forget the final dot .)
And
sudo pip install . (Don’t forget the final dot .) to install the unzipped files.

And finally copy the 4 files from the wiki to the /plugins/Broadlink folder like describes the wiki.

Spoiler: show

download plugin.py [2]

download plugin_send.py [3]

download plugin_http.py [4]

download plugin_http.sh [5]

See technical area on what is necessary.

Once all is ok, restart Domoticz

Good luck

Regaras

Hello,

‌I'm not sure if my problem is like other from thist topic. I have installed python, copied files to BroadlinkRM2 folder (like mentioned in wiki). I added new hardware and then Domoticz crashed. Domoticz service was running but page was not responsive. I managed to restore domoticz by doing upgrade to stable version (I use normally beta). After this domoticz started working normally. I removed Broadlink from hardware list and upgraded domoticz to beta version and everything is ok now. What I should do to use Broadlink in beta version of domoticz.

[csula]

I think I've tried almost everything to make it alive, but no success.
I can add the Broadlink as a HW but, the switch element dooes not appear, and no device on the device list.

Thanks for quick reply. I've updated to 3.9 with ./updatebeta
If it's possible it's even worst
Now, I cant delete the BR hrdware, because the browser tab is stops responding, and the domoticz is unreachable until I restart it.
If I update to intactive happens the same. Any other params are possible to update.
Tried with "old" crosshacked system, and with fresh install too.

But I've found something:
When I tried to run: sudo cp -r /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/broadlink-0.5-py3.4.egg/broadlink /usr/lib/python3.4/
I've realised there is broadlink-0.8-py3.4.egg only, but no broadlink folder inside. Should I copy the /broadlink-0.8-py3.4.egg to the python3.4?

This is just an example and for broadlink v0.5, of course need to be adapted to your OS/environnement and also version used.
Actual plugin version is 4.1.0 and broadlink version 0.8 ( I see even 0.9 )
For linux, what I had read on the forum, python version 3.4 have less problem. Lots of people have been able to have it running, so no reason that this not work for you, just search on the forum if you have some error. I'm running on Win 10 without any trouble since many months.

I have a doubt, my rasp has two network interfaces:
eth0 where it is connected to the internet and a wlan0 where it is connected to the iOT network that has no internet.
The RM3 broadlink is in the iOT network (of course),
from raspberry I correctly ping the broadlink RM3 and it works from the app if I connect my iphone into the iOT wlan.
Is it possible that the plugin can not reach the broadlink for this reason?
Where can I possibly impose to use the wlan0 interface?

Do I have to do something from the Broadlink app to enable the HTTP server?


Thank you very much and congratulations for the excellent work!

Hello to everyone,
I've problem with this python plugin.. for example LGTV plugin works.

Since I installed the stable version of domoticz (V3.8153) I have to use version 3.0 of this plugin.
I've a Broadlink RM Mini3, there are logs of domoticz starting:

if you want / need to use V3, you need also broadlink v0.5, this one can be found on the DropBox.

Thanks for the quick response!
Right observation, now I've uninstall broadlink 0.9 and I install 0.5:

Code: Select all

sudo pip3 show broadlink
Name: broadlink
Version: 0.5
Summary: Python API for controlling Broadlink IR controllers
Home-page: http://github.com/mjg59/python-broadlink
Author: Matthew Garrett
Author-email: [email protected]
License: UNKNOWN
Location: /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages
Requires: pyaes

But on domoticz log I've the same error:
Error Connecting to Broadlink device....
I tried nmap to make a portscan of my broadlink but I do not see any tcp port listening, is it possible?

Thanks again!

Previously I had Broadlink 0.8 but I've changed it to 0.5 upon your suggestion - still the same error and Domoticz can not connect to Broadlink.

Modules versions are as follows:

Code: Select all

Name: pyaes
Version: 1.6.0
Location: /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages
Requires: 
---
Name: broadlink
Version: 0.5
Location: /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages
Requires: pyaes
---
Name: crypto
Version: 1.4.1
Location: /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages
Requires: Naked, shellescape

After reinstallation of Broadlink module (0.8=>0.5) I've copied its directory 'broadlink' from /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages to /usr/lib/python3.4/

Code: Select all

/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages:

drwxr-sr-x  3 root staff 4096 cze 11 14:39 broadlink
drwxr-sr-x  2 root staff 4096 cze 11 14:39 broadlink-0.5.egg-info

Contents of /usr/lib/python3.4/broadlink:

Code: Select all

-rwxrwxrwx  1 root staff 16621 cze 14  2017 __init__.py
drwxrwsrwx  2 root staff  4096 cze 11 14:39 __pycache__

After Domoticz restart there's only this line in the log:

Code: Select all

RM3) Initialized version 3.0.0, author 'zak45'

(previously there were plenty of lines with info about plugin's initialization) - and of course it's still non functional (no reaction when I click Learn, but also no error entry in the log - weird behavior). And both devices (discover and remote) are gone and I can't add them by adding another instance of plugin.

On the other hand discovery test performed using the script returns expected values, so 'broadlink' module seems to work correctly:

Code: Select all

Any ideas?

Hi!

My situation is nearly the same - Domoticz Stable (on Jessie with Python 3.4) + V3 plugin and RM3 Pro

Any ideas?

Hummm.. not really easy to debug old version, do not use it anymore.. but looks like problem with crypto.. try to remove pycrypto to see if it's better.
