Python plugin: Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Topic is solved

[DAVIZINHO]

As far as I know there is no sensor in the dustbin of the vacuum cleaner so it s not possible to get the information of how full the dustbin is.

i thing so.
the mihome app send notificacion with a "timer" no more

As far as I know there is no sensor in the dustbin of the vacuum cleaner so it s not possible to get the information of how full the dustbin is.

So how does Mi Home notify about cleaning the dust bin?

I get notifications that say "you have to empty the dust bin".

Thank you for your reply. So I think I will implement notifications through a timer in domoticz to remember to clean the dust bin after some hours of use. I see in the python script that there is an option to get all time cleaned, do you know if we are able to read it from domoticz?

Thanks.

How can it be used with iRoomba robocouum?

[wouterlet]

Is there someone who has this plugin working in domoticz on Synology Nas?
I have tried but am missing to many things, maybe someone could help?

I'm looking for this also. I found the manuals but there is no "apt-get" available on my synology. It seemed Debian Chroot did this in the past, but isn't available anymore. Who knows a solution?

[misko903]

I got closer with your posts, but I have ended here:

Code: Select all

(.env) pi@raspberrypi:~/domoticz/plugins/xiaomi-mi-robot-vacuum $ pip3 install -r pip_req.txt

after few installs come this message:

Code: Select all

then i was trying

Code: Select all

and saw that the files your shell listed is much smaller than yours:

Code: Select all

pip              pkg_resources       setuptools   wheel

what i am doing wrong?

Thanks for replies!

I already found out.
See this post: http://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic ... ck#p163889.

Note: insert:
sys.path.append('/usr/local/lib/python3.5/site-packages')

after "import domoticz" in the plugin.py file.

so WITHOUT the and /b codes mentioned in the post, if you insert them too it does nog work I found out!

Hi, I have a similar problem, but the solution didn't work for me.
When I try to add the line, domoticz won't boot (ie. the browser keeps indicating domoticz is offline or not available)

The error in the domoticz log (without the line)

Code: Select all

Error: (xiaomi-mi-robot-vacuum) failed to load 'plugin.py', Python Path used was '/home/jeroen/domoticz/plugins/xiaomi-robot/:/usr/lib/python3.4/:/usr/lib/python3.4/plat-arm-linux-gnueabihf:/usr/lib/python3.4/lib-dynload'.

Error: (Robottest) Module Import failed, exception: 'ImportError'

Error: (Robottest) Module Import failed: ' Name: msgpack'

I've added this:

Code: Select all

sys.path.append('/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages')

FYI:
I get this response for searching for msgpack:

Code: Select all

jeroen@Domoticz:~ $ sudo find / -name msgpack*

[sudo] password for jeroen:

/home/jeroen/domoticz/plugins/xiaomi-robot/.env/lib/python3.4/site-packages/pip/_vendor/msgpack

/home/jeroen/.cache/pip/wheels/62/f3/0d/f77f20fce259496b053d6c0dc0eea7114527cf0a7da115a980/msgpack_python-0.4.8-cp34-cp34m-linux_armv6l.whl

/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/msgpack_python-0.4.8-py3.4.egg-info

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

I've no idea how to debug this at this point. When I run the test script:

jeroen@Domoticz:~/domoticz/plugins/xiaomi-robot $ sudo ./test.py
test: python modules path: ././.env/lib/python3.4/site-packages
test: trying connect to 127.0.0.1:22222
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./test.py", line 22, in <module>
client = socket.create_connection((args.host, args.port))
File "/usr/lib/python3.4/socket.py", line 509, in create_connection
raise err
File "/usr/lib/python3.4/socket.py", line 500, in create_connection
sock.connect(sa)
ConnectionRefusedError: [Errno 111] Connection refused
jeroen@Domoticz:~/domoticz/plugins/xiaomi-robot $

But if I start the server from the command line and run the test.py from another console, I can get valid output.

sudo python3 miio_server.py 192.168.1.43 token
server: Starting server on 127.0.0.1 22222
server: connected ('127.0.0.1', 42656)
server: got socket msg: ['status']
server: vac result {'clean_area': 62.4725, 'error': None, 'battery': 100, 'cmd': 'status', 'state_code': 8, 'clean_seconds': 4418, 'fan_level': 60}
server: send reply ('127.0.0.1', 42656)
server: closed connection ('127.0.0.1', 42656)

So, I fixed my earlier problem. I noticed I was using sudo a lot. And you have to be carefull with that while in the virtualenv. As you can see in the logs posted before, the msgpack was installed, but outside the virtual env. /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/msgpack

You can test it like this:

Code: Select all

> which python
/usr/bin/python
> which pip3
/usr/bin/pip3

>source .env/bin/activate

>which python3
/home/jeroen/domoticz/plugins/xiaomi-mirobot/.env/bin/python3
>which pip3
/home/jeroen/domoticz/plugins/xiaomi-mirobot/.env/bin/pip3
>sudo which pip3
/usr/bin/pip3                <= sudo points outside the virtualenv

You might also upgrade setuptools in the virtualenv.

then just run the pip3 install -r pip_req.txt command
All should be fine. Close the virtualenv with

Code: Select all

>deactivate

Now you can actualy see the packages in the virtualenv:

Code: Select all

>~/domoticz/plugins/xiaomi-mirobot/.env/lib/python3.5/site-packages $ ls

sudo pip uninstall virtualenv

and installed it back

Code: Select all

virtualenv -p python3 .env

but result is the same.

Code: Select all

should I and if yes, how I can uninstall pip3 from usr/bin?

EDIT:
i have made something:

Code: Select all

nothing else is changed, still the same virtualenv errors.

I already found it, just execute

sudo pip3 install python-miio

It updates the python miio part if you already installed it earlier. I was missing a few commands in the older version.

Hello,
I have installed the plugin with the last stable version of Domoticz on a Rpi3.
test.py works well and i can add the hardware in domoticz interface.
The logs shows that domoticz can communicate with the server.
My problem is that no new devices are available into domoticz.
does someone have any idea ?

Same case here. I've updated to latest stable version and I can't see any device, even if I remove and add hardware again.

[droop]

I have solved my problem by activating "Accept new Hardware Devices" in Domoticz "Settings" before creating the Hardware.

I have solved my problem by activating "Accept new Hardware Devices" in Domoticz "Settings" before creating the Hardware.

Thanks for the suggestion droop!

Now devices appear correctly.

By the way, after the upgrade I also have a problem when I add device control, it shows a string of numbers and letters over its name instead of the device name.

Do you know what the problem could be?

I tried doing a apt-get upgrade and then a reboot but it didn't help.

[axel2906]

Is there anyway to use the "spot" function? There is a button in Domoticz, but when I push it, the vacuum says that I have to place the vacuum in the target area. Usually you draw the target area in the map with the app and start the zoned cleanup.
The protocol had the command for it: https://github.com/marcelrv/XiaomiRobot ... d_clean.md

Would be nice to incorperate that in the plugin, also the "mop" option would be nice to have.

Did you find a way to do this ? i know that Home Assistant can do it. I try it and it works so it must be possible to do the same in domoticz. I hope so

you need
python 3.5 or above (i've followed this https://gist.github.com/dschep/24aa6167 ... 824400d37f)
set python 3.x as default (update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3.5 2)
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
pip3 install python-miio
try in command line : sudo -H -u pi mirobo --ip MYIP --token MYTOKEN status

chmod +x sh file
then make in domoticz a dummy selector switch, set your room adn set for each room the link to each script

That's a great implementation to do zoned clean in domoticz.

By the way, how do you determine limits to input the numbers in each room?

i make sh file for each room. I take the coordinates from FloleVac (android app). this app do the same as the offical app but when you do clean zone, select the zone that you clean and then long press on cleanup he make a copy of the coordinates into the clipboard. I do it for each room.
