I just noticed this tread, does this mean that ikea trådfri gateway works directly in Domoticz without decontz?

You need the official IKEA Tradfri gateway. This plugin then enables domoticz to communicate with the IKEA gateway...

M

[tjabas]

ok, nice, so there is no use for a zigbee stick and deconz , can ikea gateway also communicate with phillips hue?

You can use a Hue Bridge to control IKEA Tradfri bulbs, and I've seen some reports that it's possible to control HUE bulbs from the IKEA Gateway, but I haven't tried it myself, and I have no idea if it would work with this plugin, even though it might... Perhaps I should by a HUE bulb sometime and try...

The underlying problem is that connection to the gateway times out. If you could try to stop domoticz, pull the latest development branch, run configure.py with the IP and master key. Then try a dry-run of the adapter:

Code: Select all

$ python3 tradfri.tac --dryrun

The adapter will then try to connect to the gateway and register all the devices. Please post the output of the dryrun!

M

It looks like you have a device with a blank modelNumber, that's the reason for the [] in the device.ini file... I would guess it also is the reason the adapter fails, I've never seen a blank modelNumber before, and thus haven't implemented handling such a case...

Hopefully somebody can help me here
For serveral days im struggeling with making tradfri working on my pi with domoticz. I followed the steps on https://github.com/moroen/IKEA-Tradfri-plugin. Nowhere i got an error

Code: Select all

pi@Domoticz:~/domoticz/plugins/IKEA-Tradfri $ ./configure.py 192.168.1.108 xxx --debug
Config created!

In the logging of the web GUI in domoticz i see nothing related to the plugin but the tradfri adapter is not showing in the hardware list.

On thing i doubt about is the user in the ikea-tradfri.service file. what should this be?

Code: Select all

After strugling around to get things working...

Finally managed to reproduce a working coppy
It seems that installing several programs (twisted, pytradfri etc.) are sensitive to the sudo command.
some do require it, while others don't seem to like it.

Have used a blank SD card with a fresh installation of Raspbian Lite, installation doen on a RPI2B and a RPI3B+

Please find the steps I have followed below:

Raspian Lite (Nov. 2018)

SD Card preparation:
1. Flash SD with Raspbian Lite
2. create a file ssh.txt (no contents needed) to enable ssh

Startup RPI - Putty for SSH connection:
1. sudo apt-get update
2. sudo apt-get upgrade
3. sudo apt-get install python3-pip autoconf libtool
4. curl –L install.domoticz.com | sudo bash
5. cd /home/pi/domoticz/plugins

Hopefully somebody can help me here
For serveral days im struggeling with making tradfri working on my pi with domoticz. I followed the steps on https://github.com/moroen/IKEA-Tradfri-plugin. Nowhere i got an error

Code: Select all

pi@Domoticz:~/domoticz/plugins/IKEA-Tradfri $ ./configure.py 192.168.1.108 xxx --debug
Config created!

In the logging of the web GUI in domoticz i see nothing related to the plugin but the tradfri adapter is not showing in the hardware list.

If the plugin is located in the correct folder (../domoticz/plugins/IKEA-Tradfri) but doesn't show up in the hardware list, the most common reason is that the python plugin framework is disabled. When starting domoticz, one of the first lines in the log should be:

Code: Select all

2018-11-25 22:12:53.695  Status: PluginSystem: Started, Python version '3.x.x'.

If not, domoticz can't find the python library...

On thing i doubt about is the user in the ikea-tradfri.service file. what should this be?

Code: Select all

[Unit]
Description=IKEA Tradfri COAP-adapter

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/twistd --nodaemon \
      --rundir=/home/pi/domoticz/plugins/IKEA-Tradfri \
      --pidfile=/home/pi/domoticz/plugins/IKEA-Tradfri/twistd.pid \
      --python=/home/pi/domoticz/plugins/IKEA-Tradfri/tradfri.tac

User=domoticz
Group=domoticz

Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

hopefully somebody can help me, thanks a lot!

That service file looks mostly fine, but are you running domoticz as a user called domoticz? It looks like you have domoticz installed as the pi user. The User and Group must match the user running domoticz.

Thanks!


Got it working indeed , missed an update of Domoticz, but as this is handled as a package, had to pick a beta from Jadahl.
Great!
All I now have to figure out is to have the "python3 tradfri.tac" as a daemon / service on Synology.
Not as easy as it sounds..

Great stuff this plugin!!

How did you managed to get it running on your Synology?
Are you using Docker?

My NAS is unable to run Docker so i need to compile it on the NAS itself but that doesn't seem to be that straight forward as described in plugin readme.

I have installed the bunch which is needed, coap client, twisted and all. Then make sure you are on the later beta versions and follow the updated read.me from the beta release of the tradfri addin from moroen. At first I also was not running the python enabled version of Domoticz from jadahl.com.

After last message i start focussing on python part.
When i run

Code: Select all

pi@Domoticz:/ $ python3 -V
Python 3.5.2

But when I try to install the tradfri

Code: Select all

sudo pip3 install pytradfri
Looking in indexes: https://pypi.org/simple, https://www.piwheels.org/simple
Collecting pytradfri
  Using cached https://www.piwheels.org/simple/pytradfri/pytradfri-6.0.1-py3-none-any.whl
pytradfri requires Python '>=3.5' but the running Python is 3.4.2

I tried to uninstall 3.4.2 version. but then Pip is not working anymore. and by installing this one again i got 3.4.2 for free

What do i do wrong???

[kteeven]

Today i started with a fresh install of domoticz and OS. I wish i did this before. it is now working.

Thanks anyhow!

[MichaelvK]

Ahh, I was thinking of explaining my workaround, but thanks for your quick update.

I had experimented with docker, bootstrapping synology and all kind of other things, but at the end all got fixed in the current release.
(Otherwise you have symbolic linking to everywhere in order to get the correct version of python working, missing GCC compilers and all that crap..)

Good to know you succeeded as well!

Hi,

I'm a newbe here on Domoticz. I had some experience with Pimatic before, but more and more interested in Domoticz for my new setup. I managed, after some trial and error, to install the Python script and the Tradfri lights are now up and running in my Domoticz. Works pretty well! (Thanks Moroen! )

There is one thing I don't like in the result: all my lights show up in the Domoticz devices list as two devices. All the lights have 1 dimmer switch and 1 selector switch for the color temperature. Even the type spot without color temperature has a selector for it. There is no combined switch for each light.

For instance: I have 12 spotlights (GU10) connected in the ceiling. They show up as 24 devices in my list. If i want to use a dimmer and set the color temperature, i end up with 24 switches in the interface .

Is there anyway two 'connect' these two switches (and devices) to one? I mean something like how the Philips Hue bulbs show up in the interface: 1 device with multiple settings.

Thanks for the advice!

Pieter

I quite agree, the solution with two devices per light is far from ideal. The reason is that the plugin-framework doesn't provide a combined dimmer AND selector device-type, at least as far as I can tell. I haven't gotten around to dig into the code for defining device-types in order to implement a combined device.

As for the 12 spotlights, you could combine them into one or more groups using the Ikea Tradfri app, and enable "Add groups as devices". You'll still end up with all the devices in the device-list, but you would also get ONE device that controls all the lights as if they were one. Then you'll able to add this single device to your switches-page..

Hello All,

First a big thanks to all contributers to make the Tradfri plugin possible! I have been running the plugin for a few months now without too much issues (occasionally my gateway seems unresponsive to some of the dimmers). I've noticed that the plugin has been updated and I would like to update mine as well, but before I break anything; can someone please give a quick explanation on how to update from github? Can i just copy the new files (mainly the tradfri.tac and plugin.py).. much appreciated!

regards,

David

If you've installed the plugin using git, updating is quite simple. Stop domoticz, pull the changes and restart domotitcz:

Code: Select all

$ sudo systemctl stop domoticz.service
$ cd domoticz/plugins/IKEA-Tradfri
$ git checkout master
$ git pull
$ sudo systemctl start domoticz.service

If you haven't updated in a while, it might be a good idea to upgrade pytradfri as well:

Code: Select all

$ pip3 install --upgrade pytradfri

M
