help with panasonic cloud

[FireWizard]

Good afternoon @Gianni,

I was starting to debug myself with node red and add a msg.payload after the execute and then i could see the error that the script was not found.

I did of course the same, as I tested it, and I was sure, I had the pcomfortcloud.py not installed. I got also error 2, but the correct information in the "debug" node.

Let's sum up so far.

1. All sensors, received from the pcomfortcloud.py script are working correctly.
Temperature sensors under the "Temperature" tab and temperature coming in.
Thermostat setpoint under the Utility tab and setpoint temperature is coming in.
Power and Selector switches under the Switches tab and show the correct setpoint.

2. Setpoint is able to sent a set point and the action is carried out.

The next thing we have to do are the actions from:

1. Power switch/button
2. Selector switches.

Ad 1.

Insert in the "On Action"the following line:

Code: Select all

script:///usr/bin/python3 /home/gianni/panasonic/pcomfortcloud.py login pasword set 1 -p On

and

Insert in the "Off Action" the following line:

Code: Select all

script:///usr/bin/python3 /home/gianni/panasonic/pcomfortcloud.py login pasword set 1 -p Off

Check if this functions.


Ad 2.

This is different for every Selector Switch

Insert in the "Selector Actions" the following line:

Code: Select all

script:///usr/bin/python3 /home/gianni/panasonic/pcomfortcloud.py login pasword set 1 -e Auto

And test all the actions.

Looking forward to the result.

hello FireWizard

It was some very busy weeks on my work and in my house.
Normaly after rhis weekend it will be back to "Normal"
I will test further then but for now everythings looks good

Hi,

@gianni

It doesn't matter. Sometimes people have to be busy with other things. It is a hobby.

I'm curious, whether the scripts functions from Domoticz.
Both for the standard switch, as for the selector switch.

Recently I was involved in some issues, that script commands were not executed, if controlled from Domoticz.
From the command line they were okay.

If it not functions, I suggest, we don't use any time on it and we use the "Execute" node, as we did before.

In this case you may try the following flow:

Code: Select all

Completely new to the Domoticz/Python/... world, got here trough Google in my search if it was possible to link our Panasonic Airco's to Domoticz.
Looks like you guys got pretty far, but I'm already stuck at the first page of this post since I have 0 experience with this type of "coding"..

I was able to "link" my Domoticz-Synology folder to my Windows Explorer GUI instead of having to go trough SSH the whole time but now I'm completely stuck

I assume there isn't an easy "step-by-step" manual to follow somewhere to get where you guys got?

Thanks!

Hi, @KingBen,

You wrote:

Looks like you guys got pretty far

Indeed I believe, we were pretty far, but @gianni never responded to my last post, so I cannot tell you, whether the solution worked completely or not.
So unfortunately this project has never been finished for me.

You can start with my post of May 17 and install the Python script.
Try it and check that you get output on the Command Line.

Regards

[KingBen]

Hi @FireWizard,

Thanks for following up so quick!
Yesterday evening I've been trying to run the Panasonic script locally on my laptop by installing the Python console & afterwards Anaconda Navigator + Spyder, but always kept getting errors like:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'
NameError: name 'pcomfortcloud' is not defined
pcomfortcloud.py: error: the following arguments are required: username, password
(but at this last one I just couldn't find a way adding those to.. was trying to implement them as fixed value in the script itself but failure al over )

And to buildup the failure of yesterday-evening, my freshly installed Domoticz on my Synology seems to be unable to retreive outside connections (Buienradar app complains about "check internet connection" & my SolarEdge-devices aren't retreiving any info from the panels via the API-key-link.. )

Guess I might even uninstall the whole lot & start fresh from the beginning or something..

Hi, @KingBen,

It is a good idea to run the script locally in order to see, if you can get data on the command line.

Yesterday evening I've been trying to run the Panasonic script locally on my laptop by installing the Python console & afterwards Anaconda Navigator + Spyder, but always kept getting errors like:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'
NameError: name 'pcomfortcloud' is not defined
pcomfortcloud.py: error: the following arguments are required: username, password
(but at this last one I just couldn't find a way adding those to.. was trying to implement them as fixed value in the script itself but failure al over )

1. I do not own a panasonic airco, so I cannot test anything.

2. As I understood, while working at this project with @gianni, you need to have an account for panasonic cloud.
I assume you have and you can login with a username and password. For the Python script you need these.
Simply said, this script logs in to your account.

This is the script that has been used: https://github.com/muechert/python-pana ... fort-cloud
For Usage, see the read-me of that Python script.

The error "No module named 'requests'" is caused by the fact that this module probably has not been installed.
It depends, whether you use Python 2 (old) or Python3, how to do it.
You can install it with:

Code: Select all

pip install requests

or in case python3

Code: Select all

pip3 install requests

The script itself can be installed by:

Code: Select all

pip install pcomfortcloud

or

Code: Select all

pip3 install pcomfortcloud

And to buildup the failure of yesterday-evening, my freshly installed Domoticz on my Synology seems to be unable to retreive outside connections (Buienradar app complains about "check internet connection" & my SolarEdge-devices aren't retreiving any info from the panels via the API-key-link.. )

This error has nothing to do with the script but has another cause.
It is important to solve this first, so that you are sure that you can make contact with the outside world.

Are your ports open? Firewall?

Guess I might even uninstall the whole lot & start fresh from the beginning or something..

Don't think, that is necessary, but solve the problem with the connection above first.

Regards

[KingBen]

Despite a long day of Googling, being frustrated & testing I can finally say I'm able to controll our 3 Panasonic Airco's via the script!

Currently the only way is via the complete command:

Code: Select all

python3 pcomfortcloud.py Username Password list

Furthermore I've installed "Mosquitto" via the Synology Packages

Thanks for your support!

Ps.: Keep in mind this is all com-ple-te-ly new to me
I work in IT (SysAdmin) but always kept away from anything that has to do with "coding".. the whole Phyton-experience today made me realise once again I made the right choice proffessionally

Ps.2: After removing all installations & folders, and reinstalling the whole bunch again, the external connections are up&running again in Domoticz

[FireWizard]

Hi, @KingBen,

You made already a big step.

A few things are left:

Currently the only way is via the complete command:

That is okay and not a problem for the next steps. It looks good.

Disadvantage of node-Red at the moment is that I always need to "activate" it via Putty

If you run it, I assume you can access it with a browser.
If you have a laptop/desktop you can of course access it with http://<IP address of NAS>:1880

Seems there's a way to start it automatically but for the moment let's just stick with it as it is

Will the following help you? https://www.npmjs.com/package/syno-upstarter

Unfortunately the "Mosquitto"-app is not reacting in Putty as I expected..

It looks that it cannot find the commands mosquitto_pub and mosquitto_sub.
I assume, they are installed together with the mosquitto server.
See: https://www.synology-forum.nl/linux/mos ... -package)/

Awaiting your results.

Just a small update I had to pause this small project due to limited free time available.
Will resume asap & keep updates posted since this setup will be most interesting to have due to the new solar-panel-arrangements in Flanders (Belgium).

FYI I’ve just created a new python plugin for Domoticz using the Panasonic cloud comfort api:
https://github.com/sdamasoc/domoticz_panasonic_CZ-TACG1

If you can give a try I would be happy to have some feedback.

You're welcome. I still have a lot of work to do on it but it's working by me. If someone could test it/review, it it would be nice

Omg i'm sorry Firewizard is as completely forgot this topic until now.
the last test we did was fine and i could control my airco's but then i have other priorities
about a month of 2 ago in still got errors about the token.
Then i found the script from sdamasoc
That's fixed my problem until now ,the token error is back
