[REQUEST] Ikea Trådfri Gateway (smart lights hub controller) plugin?

[iTDB]

You need to update to a newer version of pycoap... On a pi:

Code: Select all

$ cd domoticz/plugins/IKEA-Tradfri
$ sudo -H pip3 uninstall pycoap
$ sudo -H pip3 install -r requirements-pi.txt

Verify that the installed version is 0.6.2:

Code: Select all

$ pip3 list | grep pycoap

Regards,
M

It's the same errors I have.

pi@mydomoticz:~/domoticz/plugins/IKEA-Tradfri $ pip3 list | grep pycoap
pycoap 0.6.3

Sorry, there was an error in the commit to the repo, should be fixed now. Pull the latest version (plugin version 0.5.5, pycoap version 0.6.3) and it should work...

Yep it's working

Finally managed to get it to work. Installing an up to date go release (for root) proved a challenge.
Great plugin, muuuch more responsive! Thanks for the awesome work.

Thank's!

I'm pretty confident that the error is due to intermittent timeouts when the plugin requests an updated state from the gateway. The lack of a logical pattern to when the errors occur, support that theory. Glad it is, as you say, a bit more faulterant! I'm currently working on handling timeouts better, but it also requires changes to the underlying pycoap library, so it takes some time... I'll let you know when an updated version is available!

Regards,
M

P.S: And you're probably right that the same problem happened with the old plugin, but that the old solution handled it even worse. If the new version works out as hoped, the old version will be retired, and any new features only added to the new plugin...

Hi Moroen,

Just to let you know:
A few days ago I installed the latest version, 0.5.5, and everything is still running fine
Except for (the same) error messages in the log. These are the errors for one day:

Like you said: intermittent time outs.
Maybe you should not consider this as errors but as expected behaviour for Ikea Tradfri ?!

Regards, Wouter

[moroen]

Just a heads up, that from this point forward, the pycoap version of the plugin is the default. The master branch of the repo has been updated to reflect this. Anyone who wants to use the old version, will find it in the legacy branch. There are no further updates planed for the legacy version.

M

Glad it worked out! It should be possible to compile the pycoap module as a regular user, and just use sudo for the installation step! I'll take a look into it and update the readme if I figure out a way to do this! I would recommend updating to Buster, though...

M

[trusky77]

I understand. Perfect, it is already solved. My time to review changes was 300 and I have not had so much patience ... Now I have lowered the time to 30. Is it a prudent time? Thank you

You could try polling with an interval of 30, and see what happens. If your gateway suddenly stops responding, cycle the power to the gateway and try increasing the poll interval a bit...

Hello again. I installed the pluguin a few days ago. Everything seems to work correctly but randomly this appears in the log:

Agree BUT my stretch is already an 'non-recommended' upgrade from Jessie. Doing it again requires some careful planning. There's too much stuff installed to start from scratch with a new image ...

This is probably due to intermittent connection timeouts, but the plugin should handle it with a more proper error message. Which version of the plugin are you using? The latest version (0.5.5) should fix this.

After the pycoap version became the default, you need to switch to the master branch before pulling the latest changes:

Code: Select all

$ sudo systemctl stop domoticz.service
$ cd domoticz/plugins/IKEA-Tradfri
$ git checkout master
$ git pull
$ sudo systemctl start domoticz.service

Moroen,

Just a quick reply to thank you for this plugin.
At first it didnt seem to work, but i was following the wrong steps (non raspberry one).
So i deleted the folder of IKEA-Tradfri and i redid everystep of the right procedure.

It works now, thanks a lot for this, finally can dim my BESTA-closet lights now.
Thanks again.

One question. The plug (outlet/socket).. is it able to monitor usage?

Glad it worked out! The plugin should handle intermittent connection timeouts, it just waits 10 seconds and then try to connect again. Since the requests to the gateway are blocking the domoticz plugin thread, the timeout are deliberately short, so only a small amount of network latency will trigger this error.

Are your raspberry and the gateway connected via WiFi? I'm running domoticz on an old MacMini, with both the gateway and server connected via wired ethernet, and on this setup, timeouts are extremely rare... But as long as you're able to control the devices, it should be all right!

M

Moroen,

Just a quick reply to thank you for this plugin.
At first it didnt seem to work, but i was following the wrong steps (non raspberry one).
So i deleted the folder of IKEA-Tradfri and i redid everystep of the right procedure.

It works now, thanks a lot for this, finally can dim my BESTA-closet lights now.
Thanks again.

One question. The plug (outlet/socket).. is it able to monitor usage?

Thank you for the feedback!

I don't think the plugs are able to monitor usage, as least I'm not able to identify anything that looks like usage information in the data returned from the gateway...

Regards,
M
