Melissen · Post by **Melissen** » Saturday 29 February 2020 1:12

Finally it works with ONE ac.. now I want to add my second ac. Anybody knows how to do that?

Many thanks in advance

Yeeaaahhhhhh, finally got it all to work.

When you have multiple AC's and you want to control them all in Domoticz you need to make some adjustments.

Copy for each AC the file LGACServerNew.py to LGACServerNew2.py (or LGACServerNew3.py and so on)
In this file you should change 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.2 ( or 127.0.0.3 and so on)
Also change 22233 to 22234 (or 22235 and so on)
And put the devicenumber of that airco in that file.

Do the same steps as LGACServerNew.py, but now with 2 (or 3 added)
So make it executable and test this file

Also copy the file TestServer.py to TestServer2.py (or 3 and so on)
Also change here the ip-adress and portnumber as above

Then make the systemd-file.... also the same as above. Copy this file and call it: LGAC_server2.service
Change the Execstart path with the right file. ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /home/pi/LGAC_SmartT/LGACServerNew2.py

Also add 2 or 3 after the filenames:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable lgac_server.service
sudo systemctl start lgac_server
sudo systemctl status lgac_server

So.... basicly it's all copying the existing files to a file with a higher number. Change the ip-adresses and portnumbers with a higher number.

After all this copying and pasting, run Domoticz.

Go to Hardware as described and select LG AC....
Now at the fields with ip-adress and portnumber, use the ip-adresses and portnumbers with the higher number.
Now you can see Domoticz added new AC to the switches.....

So you add bij Hardware for every AC a device.....

No faults in the log of Domoticz, and everything works great.

I've tested and use this on a Raspberry with the latest Stretch-version. Buster gave me some troubles in the beginning (but maybe I made some mistakes as you can see by my questions above in this topic)

Both ac's can be controlled in Domoticz. But after a few hours or days one or both ac's can't be controlled. Got some errors in Domoticz log. After a restart both ac's can be controlled again.

Who's got the same problem.and knows how to fix this?

I have the plugin running from 2 months ago and only once I had and issue with the AC. Works very well. Do you have good wireless coverage at home?

When you receive {'cmd': 'status', 'exception': "python-LGAC: 'Monitor' object has no attribute 'work_id'"} seems you loose connection with the server but don´t know why.
I would try to get a new "refresh_token".

It's strange, because when I reboot the Pi (not my AC's) everyting is running good again...

I'm going to make a fresh install again... but now installing this 'scripts' at the end of all my other devices (P1 meter, KWh-meter, GPIO-settings, Zigbee, MQTT etc...)

Also making different folders for my two airco-units. Hopefully this helps... Or has someone also 2 of more airco's running in Domoticz without any problems?

You can check the server status when you get the error with the following telnet command:

sudo systemctl status lgac_server

Maybe you get more info.

I only have one LG AC connected to Domoticz

Hi,

After the Domoticz upgrade to 2020.1.. I need to have Buster installed.
Now I get errors on :

pi@raspberrypi:~/LGAC_SmartT $ sudo systemctl status lgac_serverW

So I need a solution for "IMPORT MSGPACK"
How can I solve this in Buster.... (in Stretch there are no problems)

How did you solve this? get the same error. With both Buster and Stretch

Seems to be a APIv2 issue that is not implemented in this plugin.

Since this repo had not been updated for quite a while and there were a bunch of issues I encountered, Forked it and made a couple of changes:
- update to the latest msgpack (which has utf8 by default)
- that in turn allows plugin restart (thanks @dnpwwo!!!)
- some connection management optimisations
- general logging improvements

Tested on rpi3 / buster. Still many thanks to olinek2 for doing the work to begin with.

Hi,
After lot of several new tests, i succeded. Here is what i did to make it work.
First, i deleted /home/pi/LGAC_SmartT folder:
sudo rm -rf LGAC_SmartT/

then i choosed fork from https://github.com/heggink/LGAC_SmartT. - Thanks to heggink !!!
I followed mostly his installation process, get the same problem ... BUT then i had the idea to change this line in the installation process :

python3 example.py

was changed into
sudo python3 example.py

then everything worked for the server.

Then in domoticz, i get the following errors in domoticz's logs :
...
2020-10-04 11:42:09.327 Error: (LG-SmartThinq-AC) failed to load 'plugin.py', Python Path used was '/home/pi/domoticz/plugins/LG-SThinq-AC/:/usr/lib/python37.zip:/usr/lib/python3.7:/usr/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload:/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages:/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages:/usr/lib/python3.7/dist-packages'.

2020-10-04 11:43:20.329 Error: Clim_Salon hardware (7) thread seems to have ended unexpectedly
..
I found a similar issue there : https://github.com/mrin/domoticz-mirobo ... /issues/26

So i followed to type :
sudo pip3 install -U --ignore-installed msgpack=="0.6.2"

Then domoticz started to use the plugin !!

Next i'll add others Climatisers by creating duplications of the server scripts as explain.
And i will now prepare or look for a script to manage start and stop within a given temperature in the room.

Thanks to all developpers that worked on this.

Thierry
