[REQUEST] Ikea Trådfri Gateway (smart lights hub controller) plugin?

[moroen]

After one of those "why haven't I thought about that before"-moments, the latest commit to github now introduces the following rather major changes:

1. The version of plugin.py and tradfri.tac now are the same for both stable and beta versions of domoticz. No more matching master branch with stable domoticz and development branch for beta domoticz, the master branch is where it's at (At least until, if ever, the python framework changes it's API again in such a manner that a unified plugin.py is not maintainable).
2. As a result of this, the default branch for the plugin has changed back to master, which should be suitable for most users.
3. The handling of ident/psk has changed for stable domoticz. The adapter need to be configured from the command-line

   Code: Select all

   $ ./configure.py GATEWAY_IP GATEWAY_MASTER_KEY 

   and the settings for the IKEA-plugin on the hardware-page needs to be updated, as described in the readme
4. Stable domoticz now have support for the IKEA-sockets.

As always, I have only tested this on my own system, both for stable and beta, so no guarantees, please report any errors etc, and I'll do my best to fix them...

Hi there,

is it worth installing on Windnows Domoticz? Is it stable?

Hi there,

is it worth installing on Windnows Domoticz? Is it stable?

I haven't used Windows for years, so I really don't know. I would guess it should work, at least if you create a docker image with the adapter.

Probably stupid question but here it goes.
For the IKEA trådfri lamps.. do I really need to buy an additional remote / dimmer for each lamp? I know it makes sense when you use it as intended =) But when controlling them from domoticz I couldn't care less about the remote.. and the cost..

So I guess the question is:
Is there any way of getting multiple light bulbs in domoticz with just one remote?

Yes, there is, you can pair more than one bulb to a remote...

Actually you can use a remote to pair a bulb with the gateway and then forget about the remote until you use it again for pairing another bulb to the gateway, forget it and use it again for another bulb and repeat... Just use "Add device" in the IKEA app, and use whatever remote you have handy to complete the pairing. You can then use the IKEA app to create new groups and move bulbs between them, the groups will be displayed as a device in domoticz if enabled in the plugin.

The only reason (as far as I can see anyway) to actually care about which remote you use, is if you intend to use the remote as an actual remote and control the bulbs as a group. I think there is a limit to how many bulbs that can be paired to one remote, but if you just use a remote to pair a bulb to the gateway, it shouldn't matter...

There is support for initiating pairing without the app using pytradfri, but I haven't figured out how to enable such a function in domoticz, the things that can be done on the hardware setup-page is quite limited... Perhaps I'll try to make a command line utility for it one day I'm bored...

I tried to install this plugin according this link:
https://github.com/moroen/IKEA-Tradfri-plugin


Everything goes fine till i enter this command:

Which version of python are you using? The typing module is part of the standard library from python3.5 and upwards, and you need to use python3.5 or newer...

pi@Domoticz:~ $ python -V
Python 2.7.9

After i did a install in this link:
http://www.ramoonus.nl/2018/06/30/insta ... pberry-pi/

It reports:
pi@Domoticz:~/domoticz/plugins/IKEA-Tradfri $ python -V

pi@Domoticz:~/domoticz/plugins/IKEA-Tradfri $ sudo ./configure.py 10.60.x.x code

So i did a restart of the system, and again:
pi@Domoticz:~ $ python -V
Python 2.7.9

I Think i will start again with a fresh install of Raspbian/Domoticz...

[jakkes72]

Did a fresh install, installen python 3.5, but get this error..
./configure.py IP CODE
Traceback (most recent call last):

pyttradfi is installed:
sudo pip3 install pytradfri

Requirement already satisfied: pytradfri in /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages (6.0.1)

Sounds like a familiar problem using python on pi3. At some point I had multiple subfolders (python3, python 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6) with libraries spread over most of then. Domoticz only had a few in it's path do no dice. 3 options: 1) fix and revert to one release but no idea how, 2) add path using PYTHONPATH in domoticz startup script or 3) append the path in the python file itself but then everyone would need to do that for themselves...

The configure.py and tradfri.tac files both use the default python3 interpreter. The version of python used by domoticz (as long as it's 3.5 or higher) really don't matter, it's only tradfri.tac (and configure.py) that needs pytradfri. To make sure that pip installs the library for the default interpreter (which usually, but not always, is the one found first in the path):

First make sure that the default python3 is version 3.5 or higher:

Code: Select all

$ python3 --version

Then force pip to install libraries for the default interpreter:

Code: Select all

python3 -m pip install pytradfri

so how di I force python stuff to be reinstalled on the newer python releases if it e.g. was installed on 3.4 before where python was upgraded later? I have all of these python 3.4/3.5 remnants and can't possibly believe that you need to reinstall all these packages again just to be found in the latest path so domoticz can use them...

This is strange. Can you import pytradfri from interactive python?

Code: Select all

$ python3
Python 3.7.0 (default, Oct  2 2018, 09:18:58)
[Clang 10.0.0 (clang-1000.11.45.2)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pytradfri

That last line should give no error or any messages of any kind...

M

[jakkes72]

Correct:
pi@Domoticz:~ $ python3
Python 3.5.2 (default, Oct 29 2018, 18:04:21)

But running the same command in the domoticz/plugins/IKEA folder fails:

Do you by any chance have a directory named pytradfri in the plugin-folder?

[jakkes72]

I did not have a folder name pytradfri in /home/pi/domoticz/plugins. I copied a folder with the files from pytradfri in that directory, but no luck..
I have folders with that name in:
pi@Domoticz:/ $ sudo find -name pytradfri
./usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/pytradfri
./usr/lib/python3.5/pytradfri
./home/pi/pytradfri/pytradfri
./home/pi/domoticz/plugins/pytrafri/pytradfri (I copied the contents of /home/pi/pytradfri/pytradfri to this directory)

This is somewhat baffling, I really don't understand why the same python interpreter finds a module when started in one directory and fails to find the same module when started in another... I've been unable to reproduce this in any form... One more thing I would try, make sure to completely remove pytradfri before trying to reinstall it only once.

To remove all versions of the module first run:

Code: Select all

$ pip uninstall pytradfri

repetedly until pip reports that the module can't be found, then do the same using sudo:

Code: Select all

$ sudo pip uninstall pytradfri

Then remove ALL directories containing pytradfri (i.e find -name pytradfri), and then installing pytradfri using sudo. Just to make sure, find -name pytradfri again, and make sure that it's only found in ONE location...

And as a shoot in the dark, make sure that it's really the same interpreter (why it wouldn't be is beyond me, but just to make sure):

Code: Select all

mak@zwave:~$ which python3
/usr/bin/python3
mak@zwave:~$ cd /opt/domoticz/plugins/IKEA-Tradfri
mak@zwave:/opt/domoticz/plugins/IKEA-Tradfri$ which python3

I did an uninstall of pytradfri, and removed all the directies.
