Read British Gas Hive Heating temperature

[MikeF]

I've recently installed the Hive plugin, which has detected my heating and lights OK, and is regularly updating these (I've set multiplier to 6, so I get updates once a minute). However, I getting the following error several times a day:

Code: Select all

2018-10-16 17:22:08.206 Error: (Hive) 'onHeartbeat' failed 'HTTPError'.

with the strange effect that it seems to be 'blocking' the Domoticz log. I have numerous RFXCOM devices, which would normally appear in the log at least once a minute, but I'm only seeing scheduled lua events:

Code: Select all

2018-10-16 17:25:00.405 Status: EventSystem: Script event triggered: /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/lua/script_time_SolarSensor1.lua

2018-10-16 17:45:00.170 Status: EventSystem: Script event triggered: /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/lua/script_time_SolarSensor1.lua 

This can continue for an hour or more (no regular pattern), before the RFXCOM devices appear again. Checking the log in the GUI for each device, however, shows that these devices are reporting regularly, with no gaps. The same also applies to the Hive devices - these show continuous history.

Any suggestions?

Hello all,

I recently got my hands on a colour changing bulb and I have implemented support for it in the plugin.

I did have to change the switch type to "dimmer" after I added the device.

Give it a shot if you have any of these and disco to your hearts' content!

Hi,

First of all a big thank you for this plugin.

I am running Domoticz V4.9700 on a Raspberry Pi (Raspbian Jessie) and I have installed Python 3.4.2 (which also matches the version that Domoticz is reporting). I have other Python plugins running successfully, but unfortunately I cannot get the Hive plugin to run - Domoticz either becomes totally unresponsive or else an error appears in the logfile before it has done anything (debug is turned on):

2018-11-29 22:58:00.932 Error: Hive heating hardware (5) thread seems to have ended unexpectedly

I have stripped out lots of code to try to find out what was wrong and have narrowed it down to the 3 imports from urllib:

Code: Select all

from urllib.request import Request, urlopen
from urllib.parse import urlencode
from urllib.error import HTTPError

If I comment all of these out then it works, if any of them are uncommented then it fails (N.B. there are no actual urllib calls left in the stripped code). urllib is reported as being urllib3 version 1.9.1 (as installed by apt-get with Python 3.4.2 which is the latest available with apt-get).

I have seen various discussions in this thread about Python 3.4 vs 3.5 but currently there seems to be no problems with either?

However, should I try manually installing Python 3.5.x (and if so which one) or updating urllib or can anyone offer any other suggestions of what may be wrong and what I can try?

Many thanks,

Greg

Hello,

I have python 3.5.3 installed but I also compile domoticz myself (to keep up with some of the changes in git)
It is quite easy to compile but you need a bit of space for it (roughly 400Mb)

Having said that you could try using plugin.new.py (rename it to plugin.py in lyour Hive folder). I coded this up using the internal domoticz url routines to see if it would work and it seems to but it was not as simple to code. It has not got the latest changes applied to it but I think it should work.

Regards,

Iain

Hi Iain,

Thanks for your reply and sorry it took so long to get back to you.

I decided that the best way to proceed was to update the Pi to latest Raspbian. Unfortunately that took me down a rabbit hole of upgrade woes. Even ethernet stopped working. By the time I got that going it was clear that most other things had been broken too, including OpenZWave, so I decided to do a clean install but still OpenZWave was broken. It's taken me days to find the problem. Despite all the install guides only saying that a Pi 3 needed it for RazBerries, and a Pi 2 not having bluetooth, it turns out that you need a "dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt" in /boot/cmdline.txt

So, I now have the Hive plugin going (thanks) using Python 3.5.3 on the stock Domoticz V4.9700 but I have the following errors in the log on start-up:

Code: Select all

Error: (Hive heating) 'onStart' failed 'UnboundLocalError':'local variable 'foundOutsideDevice' referenced before assignment'.
Error: (Hive heating) ----> Line 655 in /home/pi/domoticz/plugins/Hive/plugin.py, function onStart
Error: (Hive heating) ----> Line 54 in /home/pi/domoticz/plugins/Hive/plugin.py, function onStart
Error: (Hive heating) ----> Line 167 in /home/pi/domoticz/plugins/Hive/plugin.py, function onHeartbeat

and on every heart beat :

Code: Select all

Error: (Hive heating) 'onHeartbeat' failed 'UnboundLocalError':'local variable 'foundOutsideDevice' referenced before assignment'.
Error: (Hive heating) ----> Line 676 in /home/pi/domoticz/plugins/Hive/plugin.py, function onHeartbeat
Error: (Hive heating) ----> Line 167 in /home/pi/domoticz/plugins/Hive/plugin.py, function onHeartbeat

and no Outside temperature device seems to be created.

Also I have a 3 zone Hive heating system but it is only showing me 1 zone and hot water. Is this an unimplemented feature?

Many thanks again,

Greg.

Hi,

For the record I spoke slightly too soon. The above "dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt" in /boot/cmdline.txt fix worked for (earlier versions of) Jessie, but not for Stretch. For stretch you need to follow the instructions in Detailed installation instructions RazBerry2 and Pi3 even for a Pi 2.

Greg,

More than one thermostat is not currently supported - I think the code is ready to take it but I need to see the device layout.

Can you run the latest version of collect_json.py and post a link to somewhere I can get it? Or put it here:
https://github.com/imcfarla2003/domoticz-hive/issues/2

Can you also try the latest version of the plugin (0.7) which should fix the issue with the outside temperature.

Regards,
Iain

[imcfarla]

All - Version 0.7 of the plugin now supports cool to warm white lights

[gnunan]

Hi Iain,

As requested I've left the output that I got from your latest (as at 14/12/18) collect_json.py in https://github.com/imcfarla2003/domoticz-hive/issues/2 for you.

I have 3 heating zones - "Gnd Floor", "Mid Floor" and "Top Floor". The hot water is associated with "Gnd Floor" if that is relevant/helpful.

Many thanks,

Greg.

[imcfarla]

Greg,

Can you try the latest commit please?

The errors repeat every 10 seconds and no devices are created.

Am I missing something?

[MikeF]

Have you checked ‘Accept new hardware devices’ in Settings?

[imcfarla]

Can you also run collect_json.py from here: https://github.com/imcfarla2003/domotic ... ct_json.py , create an issue on github and attach the output there please?

[mark.sellwood]

Accept new hardware devices is enabled.
I have run collect_json.py and opened a new issue on Github
Thanks

[johnnyutah]

Latest version has completely broken it for me.

All i get is this error repeated every minute...

Error: CConnection_connect, connect request from 'Hive' ignored. Transport is connected

Any ideas what could be causing this?

[imcfarla]

Hello,

Try using the plugin.urlib.py (rename it to plugin.py) and see if that helps for now.
The connection framework in domoticz is not playing nicely!

[johnnyutah]

Tried that one and get the following...

I've disabled it for now. I'll keep an eye out for any progress on Github.

Thanks for your help anyway.

[imcfarla]

Interesting. Can you open a new ticket on github and attach the results of collect_json.py please?
