Python Plugin : Broadlink

[zak45]

do you run setup.py with sudo ????

Please provides Domoticz version, Python version and OS version.
If you are on Bulleseye you must use the latest Domoticz from development branch as the Stable 2022.1 is not compatible with the Python3.9 embedded with Bulleseye or downgrade to python 3.8

No problem to have more than one device.
you need to create two hardware in domoticz.

I solved the problem was from the listener port. I changed to 9001 from the second Broadlink and 9000 for the first. Thank you!

[zak45]

you have some process sending requests to the plugin listener port.
this come from this address : 165.22.229.28

[DrMacabre]

you have some process sending requests to the plugin listener port.
this come from this address : 165.22.229.28

my question was more about if this is normal behavior for the plugin, what's 165.22.229.28 ? that's none of my devices IP

got another on today

Code: Select all

Error: RM2 Salon: Async Read Exception (193.142.146.216:58636): 104, Connection reset by peer

btw it's named RM2 but it's the new RM4 that i used to replace the dead RM2, i just kept the name of the device to not mess with all my setup.

[zak45]

if this is no one of your address, so you have some security concern.
This is not normal behavior of the plugin and this kind of Error has been set to provide some kind of alert.
You need to be sure that the pugin port can not been accessed from outside (WAN), verify your LAN/Port redirection, should be something wrong with.

[DrMacabre]

Yeah, that’s what i thought.

Thank you.

Hi, looking for a bit of help from someone who knows this plugin better than myself.

I have managed to install the plug in and it is able to discover and connect to my RM3 mini (0x5F36). I have it set as "Remote Control Mini RM2/3" in the Domoticz hardware page entry.

However, I am not able to set the device correctly in the "overwrite default device type" from 0x272a to 0x5f36 in the webadmin page as after I hit "update". The device type reverts to 0x272a after a plugin restart.

I presume this is why I am unable to "learn" IR codes failing with the following error;

Code: Select all

So far I have tried various different device types in the Domoticz hardware page with no result. I have also tried to search for an INI file that defines the hardware type with no result. I have read this thread from beginning to end. Or perhaps I am missing something else ?

[solarboy]

It appears the install instructions almost anywhere online are out of date. I was finally able to get things working using the instructions here

Hello everyone and congratulations to zak45 for this very useful plugin.

I would like to create a switch in Domoticz with several options to easily select the temperature of an air conditioner :

Capture.PNG (12.94 KiB) Viewed 2341 times

For this pupose, I want to use the following command with several .ini files:

Code: Select all

http://10.0.0.11:9000/SendCode?key=AABBCCDDEEFF?ini=Broadlink-7-010.ini

But in the log, I get this message:

Code: Select all

2022-09-27 18:30:04.608 Error: Infrared: Unknown url error from: 10.0.0.11: 58049 for: /SendCode?key=AABBCCDDEEFF&ini=Broadlink-7-010. ini

On a browser, with the same command, the screen shows "Broadlink not know what to do!"...

Can you give me the exact syntax of the command?

[zak45]

Hi, should be something like this: (replace second ? by &)

Code: Select all

http://10.0.0.11:9000/SendCode?key=AABBCCDDEEFF&ini=Broadlink-7-010.ini

Tip: On the plugin Admin web page, for each captured command (RF or IR) , if you click on the World Icon (http link), should appear the http command for the corresponding ini file...

I tried too, but the response is the same: "Broadlink doesn't know what to do!"

Tip: On the plugin Admin web page, for each captured command (RF or IR) , if you click on the World Icon (http link), should appear the http command for the corresponding ini file...

This button does not work, as well as the "#" button, while the "edit" button works.
I also can't use the "View Code" button.
Maybe I have to delete the order to recreate it?
However, the air conditioner receives the order and executes it when I press the button created in Domoticz.
Nothing happens when I press the "Send code" button in the plugin Admin web page.

[zak45]

All of the buttons that do not work, call some jQuery functions....

You can execute the WebAdmin page without Domoticz web interface, just enter: http://10.0.0.11:9000
This will help to debug as it's look like related to your installation.

If you are on linux, verify your rights.

Once you have opened the WebAdmin page, right-click on some blank area, the contextual menu should give you option to see source code.
Do that and verify that you can access the "link href" defined in the <head> section and these two links:
http://10.0.0.11:8080/js/jquery-3.4.1.min.js
http://10.0.0.11:8080/js/jquery-ui.min.js
(here, we suppose that your Domoticz port is 8080)

[Aile]

Many thanks zak !
For some strange reason, the file jquery-3.4.1.min.js was missing from the js directory.
Everything works now !

[Aile]

If I may, I have another question:
Can I create a temperature sensor in Domoticz that uses the temperature information from the Broadlink rm4 mini?

[zak45]

If I may, I have another question:
Can I create a temperature sensor in Domoticz that uses the temperature information from the Broadlink rm4 mini?

let's try with "Remote control RM4 with temp" as device type, this should create Domoticz temperature device.

[Aile]

Great ! It works. The device appeared in temperature sensors.
Thanks again

[Aile]

Unfortunately, the Broadlink RM4 mini does not work with "Remote control RM4 with temp" as device type.
The message is "File not found" in Webadmin.
So I removed the temperature sensor to try a device search with the correct product (RM4 mini), unsuccessful.
However, the temperature sensor is well recognized in Webadmin.
Would you have a solution?

[zak45]

Hummm... need more information.
Explain "The message is "File not found" in Webadmin.": where did you see that?, maybe provide some screenshot etc ...

[Aile]

Hi zak,
My device is a Broadlink RM4 mini. When I choose "Remote Control RM4 with Temp" in Domoticz hardware (instead of "Remote Control mini RM4"), the WebAdmin page at http://10.0.0.11:9000/ shows only "File not found".
I think it is normal because it is not the correct device. When I put "Remote Control mini RM4" again, the WebAdmin works again.

My concern is about creating a temperature device (and may be humidity too?) related with my Broadlink RM4 mini.
I noticed that my device ID for the Broadlink is 0x520c, but it's not in the list of devices in WebAdmin.
May be you can add this ID in the list (or explain how to do that ?
