Python Plugin: LG Smart AC (SmartThinQ) Topic is solved

[gvrgvr]

That's right. Each LG user will have individual wideq_state.json file.

Just asking: have you already logged in on your smartphone's app and accepted LG's new terms?

Hopefully I will be able to look at this later today.

Yes I did, I'm using the LG Thinq app every day. But I think that could be a problem if I got the url and logged in with my LG account.
Didnt get that far yet, I get the error first thing after executing python3 example.py...

Thanks in advance for helping me.

Seems like an IO error, perhaps no write access?
What happens with sudo?

Code: Select all

sudo python3 example.py -c NL -l en-US

Same error.
Really don't know what's going wrong. Tried to delete and clone the installation again, no succes.

OK, sorry, that was my fault. There was a redundant "raise IOError" which is removed now. I didn't realized that I'm testing another version (which was OK actually) - sorry, I'm still learning

Just

Code: Select all

git pull --rebase

to update your local repository and try again.

Yes!! Working! I added new hardware and I see new devices now. Going to test it, thank you very much.

[majki]

Thanks for your answer.

My knowlege of python is limited, but i can try with some help.

If I look in the thinq-app (android) then the information is very limited and depending of settings in the controler of the LG itself. Currently I use in the controler LG only "water (outlet)". Then you see in Thinq:
- 0n/Off
- water temp target -- you can set target water temp
- water temp current
- heating / AI -- AI is automatic setting water temp target. You can influence this by -x to +x degrees

If the setting in the controler is "water and room temp" then you can influence in Thinq the room temp:
- 0n/Off
- room temp target -- you can set target room temp
- room temp current
- heating / AI -- AI is automatic setting room temp target. You can influence this by -x to +x degrees
Note: what heating / AI does in this setting is not very clear. There is in this setting no distinction between the influence of water temp and room temp

Futhermore there are boundaries of the target settings. You can set them in the controler of the LG itself. For example you can set water temp target 27 - 35 or room temp target 18 - 21. I presume the thinq app can read those boundaries.

Hello @boosjgm.

I've checked your wideq_state.json file and I was able to read parameters. It shows that your heatpump's model operates with LG Thinq API version 1. Currently my addon doesn't support these devices, it supports API version 2 only - which is a little bit different. But, fortunately there's a domoticz plugin for v1 already (viewtopic.php?p=206548#p206548) - maybe it will work for your device.

[boosjgm]

Thanks. I will try to install V1

I'm trying to get my multisplit LG AC to work via domoticz as well, but so far no luck. I'm not getting past the 'sign in' with the LG app; likely because my current LG account is a "google account".

The current sign-in page doesn't allow anymore to 'sign in with google'. And I'm hesitant to delete my google sign in account, sign up for a new one, and start over from scratch; because I *can* control my AC via my Google home App, and the LG app on my phone is also working fine. Wouldn't want to start over with that - if possible...

Is there a solution?

I use an LG account and can control the AC with the Google Home app, so I think you're safe to switch to an LG account. I never used a google account with my LG airco.

Got my LG PC18SQ today, so really keen on adding it to domoticz.

Everything went wrong, trying to get python to work so I did a fresh domoticz install. (thank goodness I've got DB backups).

I did end up with raspian lite bullsey & python 3.9.2 though after a fresh raspbian/domoticz install on my rPi3B+
domoticz = Version: 2021.1 (build 13872)

The whole logging on (amazon account), getting a device ID and creating the json file went well.
I moved the json file to the correct location and restarted domoticz.

Yes, LG think is available in "hardware" I fill out country/language/device ID. Add

I want to go to "devices"...

Everything gone, no more devices, no hardare, domoticz keeps crashing.

Only after I move the json file out of the way, domoticz is alive again.

I did go into the thinq app several times to accept everything that can be accepted, but as soon as I put the wideq_state.json file back in /home/pi/domoticz It's all over again.

I see these errors:

2021-11-13 20:22:34.285 Error: Airco Woonkamer: 'onStart' failed 'EOFError':'EOF when reading a line'.
2021-11-13 20:22:34.285 Error: Airco Woonkamer: Exception traceback:

I did not find a solution in this thread. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

[v40jlt4]

Strange thing. If I use it outside Domoticz , it works fine

Python 3.9.2 & domoticz issue perhaps?

[johnny86]

I think there is a problem with the new raspbian bullsey, and with Python 3.9.2 which is in it

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=37376

plugins that require python don't work - domoticz will then shut down

Ah, thanks, that has to be it. What a pity.

[gvrgvr]

since this evening I get errors in the domoticz log. Maybe it's an outage at LG, or something else?

Hi @gvrgvr.

I've had also some errors in my logs today:

Code: Select all

2021-11-18 02:42:34.112 Error: LG ThinQ: (LG ThinQ) 'onHeartbeat' failed 'ConnectionError'.

But now it's back online:

Code: Select all

2021-11-18 03:01:28.477 LG ThinQ: (LG ThinQ) Session expired, refreshing...

So maybe you are right, maybe there was some LG outage. Is it working for you now?
My timezone is UTC+1

Hello

I too have a problem to past the creation of wideq_state.json when installing the plugin

As some people in this threat I am getting the following error:

EDIT:

I solved the problem, at the begining I was trying to use Olinek's plugin, that was linked at the beginning of the topic, then I found the fork from @heggink but with the same error as before and finally on next pages I found the other plugin from @majki available at https://github.com/majki09/domoticz_lg_thinq_plugin and this plugin works for me without any problems, so thank you @majki for the good work. I have 2 questions for you

1. I have a multi-split installation in 2 rooms, how can I add second AC? Will it be enough to add second ID on hardware tab or do I need to change something in the code?

2. Will you be able to add more functionality to the plugin like enabling air jonization, jet mode function or air quality meter? All those options are available at LG ThinQ app and on the remote control so it would be nice to get it also on the plugin.

Also I would like to thank you for your great work

Hello @majki

I try install your plugin, I get information after start example.py:

thinq2 devices: 1
c0386fd2-f2b4-1aae-892f-dc0398XXXXX: Pompa ciepła (AC AWHP_019101_WW / thinq2)
I moved file wideq_state.json to domoticz folder, restart domoticz and add hardware LG ThinQ on domoticz menu.
Domoticz add new devices, but these devices are not working (the devices are gray and do not show values) and get also errors in domoticz log (please see on attached picture).

I think that this plugin does not handle heat pumps properly

How to try to add heat pump support?

I can send wideq_state file content on PM.

Hi @majki,

I can not send you my wideq_status.json to your PM, because I am blocked from sending PM
I got PM from you, but I can not reply to it.

Maybe because your account is fresh new, we had this issue before:
