Python Plugin: Broadlink RM2

[davidrq78]

@davidrq78
you need to adapt plugin_http.sh to your env.
in your case, this should be :
nohup python3 /home/pi/domoticz/plugins/BroadlinkRM2/plugin_http.py $1 $2 $3 &

do not forget to give +x

Dude im super newbie i need a step by step instructions. Plz help
ill should go to :
cd /home/pi/domoticz/plugins/BroadlinkRM2
and than type sudo chmod +x plugin_http.py ? Or what?

Domoticz runs on an Ubuntu server 17.10 with python 3.6, and I try to reach the RM mini 3.
I've installed the last version of plugin.py (v3), I've copied all the content of crypto, broadlink & pyaes in /usr/lib/python3.6/

The RM mini 3 is well seen by the e-control app on android, and from my other PC, with advanced IP scanner, I have the line :
"OK 192.168.0.13 192.168.0.13 NBS Payment Solutions Inc. 78:0F:77:00:6F:9F"
which corresponds to the rule I set in my dhcp server settings.

To be sure, I've run the discovery thing, and the IP and the MAC was well the ones above.

I don't understand why I still have this message...

P.S: @davidrq78 : yes, you have to go to /home/pi/domoticz/plugins/BroadlinkRM2, then type sudo chmod +x plugin_http.py

@Estyaah

Hello,

I have the same issue as you. Hope it's not a problem of compatibility with the newer version of Broadlink.
I continue to search and post a message if there's any evolution.

[Estyaah]

I've read the topic viewtopic.php?f=65&t=21645&hilit=broadlink&start=120 and I tried to use python3.4 instead of 3.6, but nothing better.
For information, if someone needs to install python3.4, i've used this : https://github.com/mhbashari/Install-Py ... untu-16.04
Then : https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-change-f ... bian-linux (the part with update-alternatives).

From my side, I've re-set the python version to 3.6.

Then, while I write this post, I thank to the post of the person who talk about changing the plugin for Ubuntu 18.04 :

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

Please see my modified plugin.py and plugin_send.py files below.

plugin.py https://pastebin.com/3xy6Nr4q
plugin_send.py: https://pastebin.com/BQGD2i0Z

After reboot, I've some errors, but I think it works. I've tried to learn an IR command and it seams working !

Edit : It works ! I managed to learn some commands, then to play it from domoticz !

[ian13010]

Hello everybody !

I have the same issue since 1 week. Impossible to connect the Broadlink device with Domoticz.

I tried to install the plugin in a Synology NAS and follow this procedure (thanks to zak45 for the sharing). https://zhougy0717.github.io/2017/07/31 ... on%20Echo/

I'm in 3.5.1 for Python version and I tested the modified plugin.py and plugin_send.py files from Paint but still the same error.

Code: Select all

Thanks in advance for your help !

Edit : It's working ! So, what I did :
- uninstall my old version of broadlink
- git clone https://github.com/mjg59/python-broadlink --> isntall the final version (0.8)
- follow https://zhougy0717.github.io/2017/07/31 ... on%20Echo/
- change the plugin.py and plugin_send.py with the Paint version
- restart domoticz service

I can continue to resolve the other problems (web server,...)
Do you know if RF codes are functionnal with broadlink plugin ? (to pilot 433MHz devices )

Thanks for the BIG work and see you later

[parrotface]

Tried all sort of things found in this forum and just cant get broadlink to work.
Using a Raspberry Pi
Domoticz Version: 3.8153
plugin.py V3
sudo pip3 install broadlink
this also installed -- Successfully installed broadlink pyaes
All pugins copied to domoticz/plugins/BroadLinkRM2
All plugins are executable


Should all the plugins scripts be executable or not?
when I have plugin.py executable (chmod +x) some times I can't connect with web browser even after restart domoticz.
Reboot Pi I can connect but can't get any broadlink devices. Command, - Remote - Import etc
Also it stops producing graphs until I remove the plugin.py and the graphs start working again.
At a loss as what to do
Many Thanks

Python version 3.x required & Domoticz version 3.90xx or greater.

[jdecelis]

Thanks for your reply. I have python 3.5 installed and domoticz 3.9540

I'm getting the distinct feeling that this plugin just doesn't work anymore on recent versions of Domoticz.
I've tried getting it to work on my Synology Domoticz installation and on a Pi domoticz installation. In both cases it is impossible to get the plugin to work.

So.

Either the plugin is broken and we've all wasted hours of our lives getting it to work, or truly detailed instructions on how to get it to work are missing.
Maybe someone can shed some real light on this issue and not just reply with 'You need to install Python 3.x.x.x.x', which, as you can see in all former post, is of no help.
