This error you get when installation of the modules is not performed correctly in your environment.
Try setup with sudo

Code: Select all

sudo python setup.py

pi@raspberrypi:~/domoticz/plugins/BroadlinkRM2 $ sudo pip3 install pyaes
Looking in indexes: https://pypi.org/simple, https://www.piwheels.org/simple
Requirement already satisfied: pyaes in /usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages (1.6.1)
Help?

[waltervl]

Why not run "sudo python setup.py"

pyaes is not the module that gives issues, and the installation indicates that it is already installed, so no problem. It is the requests-toolbelt.

Thanks for your patience

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo python setup.py
python: can't open file 'setup.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

everything is in the directory: /home/pi/domoticz/plugins/BroadlinkRM2

so that's not good?
Phyton is already running for me, so I don't get it...

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ python3 --version
Python 3.7.3

Well I am not using this plugin but according the first post of this topic and its installation procedure there should be a setup.py file. Perhaps you need to add execute rights to the setup.py.

According what instructions did you install the plugin?

else try
sudo pip3 install requests-toolbelt

I have used and followed the instructions from this forum.
(sudo pip3 install requests-toolbelt) works.
but after een reboot i get:

I get discouraged. This weekend I will provide an empty sd-card with new os and new Domticz and then try again. Or do you have any tips?

[waltervl]

As I cannot download the plugin source I have no idea.

You can check in the plugin.py to see what modules should be used. Those modules should be installed with

sudo pip3 install <module name>

The simplest way to install is to use the setup.py procedure.
Be sure that all pre request are in place and the most important one, your default python version need to be 3.x and not 2.x.

what's the output of this command ?? :

sudo python --version

Hello @zak45. Is it possible to upload this plugin to github as it would facilitate better support including downloads

[zak45]

@waltervl,
what kind of trouble with the download ?

@waltervl,

https://synnas.publicvm.com:4430/s/Czn9r8G8QwrZ7ji to download setup.py. I cannot open it, some users here neither.

Edit: Perhaps put it as a ZIP as attachment to the first post?

Thanks for the information.
Please, try this two links and provide any error: usually nextcloud manage that very well, except when my server is down for x reasons ...

the 1 should give you a possibility to download all files in zip format
the 2 should give you a choice depend of your os settings for py files.

I see the link works on my other network so it will be a proxy/firewall issue on my side.
Nevertheless, most Domoticz plugins are stored on github so people can submit changes/enhancements/issues to your plugin.
See wiki page https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Plugins for an overview.

Off-course you are free to do whatever you like, it is your plugin

I am using the plugin 4.2.0 by zak45 in Domoticz and have the problem that occasionally get an error that the RM3 does not have a connection anymore with the message : error connecting to broadlink device.
Will the new plugin resolve my issue?
If yes what to do to install your modified plugin on my Raspberry pi with Linux Debian, including the steps to remove the current 4.2.0 version?

Hi guys,

i'm giving another try to this but i don't get how to import the json files from e-control. The wiki is outdated and refers to some device that is not there anymore.

Thanks for any help.

Hi guys,

Thanks for any help.

to summarize:
you generate the json file with the e-control application.(android)
you transfer jsonSubIr, jsonButton & jsonIrCode under your domoticzPlugin/import directory (android)
you click on the e-control button, this should generate corresponding ini files (domoticz)
you click on import button (domoticz)
