Ikea Tradfri plugin install issues

[thomaspronk]

Hi all,

I am new to Domoticz as I have used PiMatic for a few years. But that one is almost end of live. So it's time for Domoticz.

This morning I've installed a new installation of Domoticz, based on a Raspberry with the latest Raspbian. Domoticz is set to the Bèta and I've followed the steps from https://github.com/moroen/IKEA-Tradfri-plugin. Unfortunately I'm stock on step 6 "Configure the Tradfri COAP-adapter:" and i got a Unkown Error.

I know Ikea have updated the hub last week, which might by the issue.

Does anyone have any idea to fix this?

Thank you kindly.

Thomas

Could you please provide some more context, most important the Python version, and any output from the command? You should also try to run the configure.py script with the debug option and post the output.

Code: Select all

$ ./configure.py --debug config IP KEY

The coap-client has been compiled without the correct options: pytradfri.error.RequestError: Please compile coap-client without debug output

Take a look at the instructions from ggravlingens repo, or try compiling coap-client using the script provided with the plugin:

Code: Select all

$ bash ./install-coap-client.sh

Hi Moroen,

Thanks for your help! After reinstalling and setting Python to Python3 I've managed to install your plugin succesfully as you descriped in your manual.
The only thing is devices are not showing up in the Device section. I've configured the Hardware Device with the following settings:
- Adaptor IP Address: set to the ip of de Raspberry / localhost
- Observe Changes: YES
- Polling interval: 30 Seconds

I've tried several other configs and it doesn't work. Do you have any suggetion?

As I was searching to a solution I found this article (https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopi ... 79#p153279) and tried the command pi@raspberrypi:~ $ python3 -i -m pytradfri 192.168.2.2.

The logfile shows Domoticz is talking to de Hub and de hub to Domoticz . I beleive my domoticz is missing the security code somewhere?

You could try a dry-run of the adapter:

Code: Select all

$ python3 tradfri.tac --dryrun

If the adapter works, you should see all the devices connected to the gateway.

As for no devices showing up in domoticz, a couple of other users have had the same problem. Never managed to track it down completely, but if it's not to much of a hassle, a complete reset of domoticz has solved this before. The easiest way to test is to stop domoticz, rename the domoticz.db file to something else, and restart domoticz, and the add the IKEA-plugin again...

Hi Moroen,

Finally it’s fixed! I believe there where some issues with auto starting of the Tradfri plugin. I noticed after trying to start the plugin manually. All my Tradri devices did showed up and it was possible to change de light status until I closed the terminal session. After multiple times following step 7 of your instructions, the plugin is starting automatically.

Many thanks you for your support! It helped me a lot!

Kind Regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
I have a similar problem. Everything installed just fine (except some issues with the pip3 update). But I can't find any devices in my devices-list. Can you describe what you did? What is step 7? I only find 6 steps on the github-page.

Code: Select all

$ python3 tradfricoap.py list

gives me:

Code: Select all

65536: TRADFRI remote control (None - None)
65537: TRADFRI bulb (0 - None)

I have everything installed following the 6 steps on Moroens github page. The plugin has been added in the hardware section of Domoticz. I tried several different options there, such as yes/no for "add groups as devices" en yes/no for "observe changes". So far no devices in the device-section.
My domoticz is running on a debian 9 x86-64 virtual machine.

I have no need for reinstalling domoticz. I really want to prevent that.

Hi Bpasop,

I did succeed. Even without to reinstall domoticz. It seemed to be a python-version issue. All posted at this thread:
https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopi ... 40#p233803
No really clear answer, though..

Good luck.

There are a few steps you can take, try this guide and see if this helps:

[moroen]

Python version management is a friggin nightmare. These kind of problems are almost always more than one python interpreter on the system, causing the library that domoticz uses to be from another interpreter than pip3 is using, and thus unable to find the required modules. Using the system provided python usually works, but then you´re stuck on the version provided by the distro.

The plugin provides another API than py3coap exactly for this reason. Try upgrading to the latest version of the plugin (0.8.1 at the moment), and take a look at the readme (https://github.com/moroen/IKEA-Tradfri- ... /README.md) for instructions on using coapcmd instead.

M
