Python Plugin: Python Plugin Manager

[clubeddie]

Anyone any idea?

python3-dev? is it installed?

Complete new raspberry, installed with Domoticz and installed Python

Version: 4.9700
Build Hash: a3a45906
Compile Date: 2018-06-23 16:24:51
dzVents Version: 2.4.6
Python Version: 3.5.3 (default, Sep 27 2018, 17:25:39) [GCC 6.3.0 20170516]

I can install PP Manager and see it after restart domoticz in the hardware tab. Installed 3 plugins to check if it works.

Also succesfull at the other two installations. But there is no additional devices, utility's or what so ever shown in Domoticz?

And is it possible that the list on
https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Plugins
is not complete, for example, in the list
Google Home & Chromecast is shown, but in the PP Manager it is not available?

@clubeddie,

Not everything on the plugins page is available via the Plugin Manager. There is a column on the right showing those that are.

Other entries on the page link to github where they have installation instructions and more detail on functionality.

Hello

I am using PPM with Docker on Synology and I have this problem:

2019-05-19 00:24:40.388 Error: (PPM) Git ErrorNo:2

2019-05-19 00:24:40.388 Error: (PPM) Git StrError:No such file or directory: '/run/s6/services/domoticz/plugins'

Can you help please

[ycahome]

Hello,

I don't currently have a sinology docker installation.
Can you tell me the full path of your "plugins" folder?

[nono212]

Hello
Here is how I have created my container :
docker create --name=domoticz2 -e PUID=911 -e PGID=911 -e TZ=Europe/Brussels -p 8080:8080 -p 6144:6144 -p 1443:1443 -v /volume1/docker/Domoticz_linux/config:/config--device=/dev/ttyACM0 --device=/dev/ttyACM1 --restart unless-stopped linuxserver/domoticz


So the plugins folder is /volume1/docker/Domoticz_linux/config/plugins
but inside the container it is /container/plugins

[ycahome]

PPM using the current working dir to identify the installation directory (getcwd)

Seems that this is not properly identified inside a container.

Hi everybody,

Happy user of the plugin manager here.
Makes it much simpler to get started with plugins.

My error log shows some errors related to the plugin manager however.

Code: Select all

Is this normal?

It seems i have installed the EWPE SMART MQTT plugin for my 2 heatpumps, but 1) getting errors, 2) domoticz crashed directly, 3) after reboot the plugin is totally gone AND i cant install it anymore?
I removed the plugins directory, but that didnt help...

I am unable to install this plugin. Freshly installed Domoticz on a clean Raspberry with Raspbian Stretch.

Normal install through curl and update everything.

When i check about Domoticz i get:

There is a bug in Wiki page, in the Install section. "PP-MANAGER" written in different cases. Can be a problem for linux beginners.

Hi Everyone,
Can anyone tell me if Python Plugin Manager can be installed on QNAP Domoticz 4.10717 ? I'm having some issues, I installed all pre requisites: python2.7, python3.8, pip3, python3-dev, via opkg (QNAP Entware). Domoticz doesn't say that PluginSystem has been started. Any advice? Thank you.

[Dnpwwo]

@wube,

A couple of things:

• The Plugin System and the Python Plugin Manager are quite different things. The Plugin Manager its actually a plugin itself that can install other plugins on linux systems, it is completely optional.
• Python 2.7 is not required (neither is pip3 technically)
• Do you get any PluginSystem message at all? If not then maybe Domoticz for you platform was built without Python support. You may need to build your own and enable it

[wube]

Hi @Dnpwwo,
Thanks for your reply. No i don't get any info in log about the PluginSystem at all. Should I contact whoever built it and released to QNAP? Additional info is that i also have python script which should turn on and of TP-Link smart socket HS100 and script works from command line but not when copied to scripts in domoticz and dummy switch populated with command that should start it. Is there any way to determine if this particular domoticz release was built with python support or not? Thanks again. Cheers!

[Dnpwwo]

@wube,

The Plugin System and Event System both use the same Python instance so it sounds like the problem problem. You can also check the Domoticz 'About' screen from the 'Setup' menu, that will say what Python version is being used.

If Domoticz tries to load Python but can't find it you will see a

PluginSystem: Failed dynamic library load

error in the log. Search the forum for more details on that.

I would contact the image builder to understand why Python was disabled, by default it is normally included.

[wube]

@Dnpwwo,
you are absolutely right, i didn't know that. And of course QNAP version of Domoticz does not support python. Info under the button.

Hey there,

I also have a problem with PP-Manager de reference to the plugins folder is incorrect.

I keep getting the following error in the domoticz log:

The directory should be: /home/domoticz/domoticz/plugins
The user is domoticz and the installation folder of the application is domoticz as well.

Can anyone let me know what i can do to change the plugins folder path.
I already tried adding /domoticz in front of /plugins in the py file.
