Python Plugin : Broadlink RM2 V4

[zak45]

Only things that dont work are
- switch remote. When i click on the button it does nothing, its greyed-out.
- switch import/webstart.
ini folder /home/pi/domoticz

- if the button is greyed-out, you need to create the ini file and put on it devices idx (see wiki)
- be sure to have put your script with +x
- not good idea to put your ini under domoticz folder, better outside it.

[pvklink]

ok, i made a seperated ini folder and moved the ini files.

ANybody an idea what i put in the ini-file that is missing for my greyed remote
he errorlog gives: 2019-03-08 21:00:14.967 Error: (broadlink2) ini file not found: /home/pi/domoticz/BroadlinkRM2-26-254.ini

i made a
- BroadlinkRM2-26-254.ini in the ini folder
- and BroadlinkRM2-26.ini and
- plugin_remote_26.ini in /remote folder

In all three ini files i put
[Custom]
command = 2
and now my errors are gone!
and the remote is not greyed out anymore!

Do i have to make three ini files for my remote (rm pro+) ?
What do i put in these file(s)

Hi,
Hereunder the issue I am facing.

The app does not seem to be able to learn more than one command.

I try to create a new button, but when pressing "Test" nothing happens. I tried also to learn other remotes, same issue.

And no error in log.

you need to create this file :
/home/pi/domoticz/plugins/BroadlinkRM2/remote/plugin_remote_26.ini

with this inside:

[Custom]
command = 3 etc ....
e.g. 3,5,7 if we suppose that you have also unit 5 & unit 7

[zak45]

@luizcarlosnery

put debug on and post the output plz.

Thanks Zak45 but is there any guide for that last ? "you can still use the Android application for learning and do the import after to create Domoticz switchs" ???

[pvklink]

Ok @zak45, it works!

Do the numbers after the command= in the plugin_remote_26.ini have to correspond with the ini files and unit-id ?
so number 3 = is a broadlinkRM2-26-3.ini and in the ini is has a unitid = 3 ?

Another thing is that new ini file dont have the +x (execute) by default, is there a way that every new ini file has the right security ?

Hi, sorry for my english, I'm French ...

I looked for on french forum but I didn't find issue. Like someone, I installed the pluing as described in the wiki:
----
For others
sudo pip3 install broadlink --> mandatory
sudo pip3 install pyaes --> pycrypto no more mandatory, pyaes will be used instead
----
Copied the files plugin.py, plugin_send.py, plugin_http.py, plugin_http.sh in /domoticz/plugins/BroadlinkRM2 folder
restarted domoticz

Then added hardware Type: Broadlink RM2 with Kodi Remote, with fixed IP address, MAC wihout the ":" (thanks to this forum) and no majuscule. I can Add the hardware and it says devices will be found on devices tab, but i don't see any devices added. My device si Multiplug MP1
Also, if i try to update anything (or delete) the entry to start again - domoticz freezes so I have to restart. It also put off several python script (freebox, Mi flora and Sony bravia).

I don't know how to manage my device. I did some script find here :
http://domo-attitude.fr/broadlink-domoticz/
but it doesn't work. I'm using version 4.9700 on Domoticz and 3.5.3 python.

But when i hit "Test" nothing happens.....
I can only make one button working...

- chmod +x to /home/pi/domoticz/plugins/BroadlinkRM2/plugin_http.sh
- for the learn problem need some investigation but already reported by few others; you can still use the Android application for learning and do the import after to create Domoticz switchs.

Whoo... How to do so? As all my devices are declared in the Android app!

Is t possible to let the default broadlink remote switch send an rf/ir command when pushing the on button (television icon) ?

I tried it with the on action/start property of the device:
script://home/pi/domoticz/plugins/BroadlinkRM2/plugin_send.py /home/pi/domoticz/BroadlinkRM2ini/BroadlinkRM2-23-3.ini

also tried it from the commandline
python /home/pi/domoticz/plugins/BroadlinkRM2/plugin_send.py /home/pi/domoticz/BroadlinkRM2ini/BroadlinkRM2-23-3.ini

Hummm... should work as for any other Domoticz switch.
On linux, this should be script:///my/full/path/name/script.sh .... --> /// when use full path name if I'm not wrong.
and of course +x on script.sh

""NOTA: the cmd/script to execute plugin_http.py need to be done in the way to not block Domoticz plugin system. This is the case for the windows version provided, for other OS this should be something like that : nohup python3 /path/to/plugin/plugin_http.py $1 $2 $3 &""
