I will add new aplications (as they are used) to the Source device in the next version.

can you update the plugin to version 4.4.0? That should solve the issue, or should show the problem.

[snellejellep]

after updating to the latest stable version of Domoticz i get this error messageL

Code: Select all

2019-05-09 16:32:14.933 Error: (Chromecasts) Error on line 413 Error is 'BasePlugin' object has no attribute 'ConnectedChromecasts'

i already tried updating the plugin but that does not fix the issue.
does someone know what to do?

Hi,

I'm getting this error:

Code: Select all

Error: (Chromecast) pychromecast is not up to date, it is currently version 3.2.2 it should be at least version 3.2.1. Please upgrade by using this command: 'sudo pip3 install pychromecast --upgrade' and restart this plugin.

Updating as suggested doesn't solve it. Any solution?

Kind regards, Rob

I have been facing the same issue, I just forced pychromecast to version 3.2.1 and restarted the Domoticz server by the following commands

Code: Select all

sudo pip3 install --force-reinstall pychromecast==3.2.1
sudo service domoticz.sh restart

So I installed the Chromcast plugin for the first time (quite new to Domoticz) and managed to get rid of the errors as stated above.

However I have no idea how to send a simple string to a normal Chromecast to be spoken (no experience at all in LUA).

I want te perform some tests on usability to see whether I am going to purchase Google home mini's or not.

So can anybody explain to me step by step how to send a message to the chromecast?
The description of the TS / author of the plugin in one of the first posts on this topic:

Just add a value to the created variabele and the text will be spoken.
I use it voor voice messages and fill the variable from a lua script

Is not really helpfull for me..

[Justintime]

Thanks for this Plugin.

I have a 7" Google Nest Hub In the startup log its says its not supported. Any chance it will be added?

Another thing:

WHen Domoticz has started no error messages are there. WHen i modify the Plugin in the HArdware section it gives a message in the Log i have to update to an earlier version?

i have a little problem, if i use the text to speech function, it works fine for one device, but if i let another device say something before the first device is finished speaking the whole python plugin framework crashes and the plugin no longer works including all my other plugins.
for now i disabled announcing on two of my google home mini's and announce on just one but i would like to be able to announce to all of them

Fixed in version 4.4.1, You need to install "sudo pip3 install packaging"

@snellejellep,

Can you supply some details?

What version of the plugin are you using.
What version of Domoticz.
What platform you are running on.
Can you attach the log messages showing the framework crash.

Solved my issue, had to put the correct name of the chromecast in the hardware tab.
However facing the same

the whole python plugin framework crashes and the plugin no longer works including all my other plugins

issue.

[snellejellep]

no one a suggestion for the above problem?

[Ewaldharmsen]

guess that's not possible, you have to wait till the first is finished.
Will change that in the plugin

[FunFair]

I just have released version 3.0.1.
You can now update the hardware without the need to restart domoticz.
Devices which are no longer needed are automatically deleted

How can I disable the automatic deletion function?
I have a Rfxcom setup and it will scan every single 433 Mhz signal in the neighbourhood. So I have domoticz setup to not scan for new devices.
But every night I backup domoticz and restart the service. And this morning all Chromecast devices were gone...
It deleted the devices, but could not re-create them on startup.

Never mind... I changed the device names. After a restart of domoticz, the plugin did not detect them correctly anymore and deleted them apparently.

[turnhob]

When i power on a chromecast device my domoticz installation freezes and i have to restart it.

Im using a Raspberry pi 2. Just installed the lastest version of Raspian. No other software or tasks are running on the device. I installed from scratch, but the problem remains.

The log files dont show anything, so i dont understand. Is the raspberry to weak? (allthough memory and CPU usage is allmost 0 when it freezes.

Hi

Chromecast plugin is installed and seems to work fine.
Status: (Google) Initialized version 4.5.0, author 'Tsjippy'

I do however get this error in the log:
"Error: (Google) Error on line 423 Error is 'BasePlugin' object has no attribute 'SpotifyClient'"

what could it be?
