Python Plugin : Broadlink

[zak45]

Same problem here :

viewtopic.php?t=40417

[TomCunningham]

Verify no user/password required for local Lan.

And the Git version is on go...!!

I'm puzzled here, the user/password for the local LAN, do you mean the SSID and password? If so, how is that supplied to setup?

Hi,

I'm tryng to move from the old version of the plugin to this one but I'm struggling as the setup.py does not work ...
I have the follwoing error :
File "setup.py", line 230
print("\r>> Bytes downloaded -->" + state + str(leng) + state, end='', flush=True)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I don't really know what to do there... Other point is that I have quite some IR and RF devices made with my current plugin . Will it cange anything when migrating ?What I have to do to keep it working ?

thanks a lot in advance.

looks like you still use python 2.x ????

First, always made a backup of your existing plugin folder (with ini files)
You need to copy old ini files to your new path, and import them
No more is needed to have Domoticz device linked to the ini file, but can be done if necessary.

Hello,

I just tested the installation of the pluging, unfortunately without success . . .

Domoticz is installed on a linux distribution (Yunohost), is using python 3.9.2, has " python3-pip" installed, and domoticz plugin folder is /var/www/domoticz/plugins

In a first time I created the Broadlink folder :
/var/www/domoticz/plugins/Broadlink/

Copy in this folder the file :
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zak-4 ... n/setup.py

Make it executable, and launcht it with the command "python setup.py"

But I get the following error message :

Code: Select all

 put *.py files executable (+x) OK
chmod: impossible to access at 'scr/*.sh': no file or folder of this type
ERROR to start subprocess
1s
sudo chmod +x scr/*.sh 
b''
 ERROR to put +x to  *.sh files 

A strange thing is in "/var/www/domoticz/plugins/Broadlink/" I have the follwing files and folder :

Code: Select all

drwxr-xr-x 8 domoticz domoticz   4096 24 mars  17:04 Broadlink-Domoticz-plugin-main
-rw-r--r-- 1 domoticz domoticz 571514 24 mars  17:32 BroadlinkSetup.zip
-rwxr-xr-x 1 domoticz domoticz   8880 24 mars  16:50 setup.py

setup.py has installed broadlink not in /var/www/domoticz/plugins/Broadlink/, but in /var/www/domoticz/plugins/Broadlink/Broadlink-Domoticz-plugin-main :

Code: Select all

I had manually make the folder scr executable, try to launch again setup.py, without success.

Does somebody has an idea about the problem ?

Thank's.

[zak45]

you just need to move all from Broadlink-Domoticz-plugin-main to plugins/Broadlink.
and made chmod +x to scr/*.sh
Will take a look to the extraction process.

Hello,

I finally have been able to install the script after have downloading it in domoticz/plugin (instead of domoticz/plugin/Broadlink) and updating it in two points :

Line 284 :

Code: Select all

command = 'sudo chmod +x scr/*.sh '

Become

Code: Select all

command = 'sudo chmod +x Broadlink-Domoticz-plugin-main/scr/*.sh '

And from lines 339 to 364, I commented the lines like this :

Code: Select all

#
# we check directory structure
###mydir = ['ini', 'lng', 'log', 'scr', 'web']
###
###for items in mydir:
###    if os.path.exists(items):
###        print('Directory {} exist, OK'.format(items))
###
###    else:
###
###        print('Error : Directory {} do not exist, verify error... exiting'.format(items))
###        sys.exit()
#
# we check files
###if os.path.exists(updname):
###    print('Error : zip file : {} still exist, not normal !!!'.format(updname))
###    sys.exit()
###
###filelist = ['plugin.py', 'Dombroadlink.py']
###
###for items in filelist:
###    if os.path.exists(items):
###        print('File {} exist, OK'.format(items))
###
###    else:
###
###        print('Error : File {} do not exist, verify error... exiting'.format(items))
###        sys.exit()

As I understood, we need to create the folder "Broadlink" here : domiticz/plugin

Then copy the script in domoticz/plugin/Broadlink and execute it.

I suppose the problem is that the script downloads and unzips the files here : domoticz/plugin/Broadlink /Broadlink-Domoticz-plugin-main

But as the script is in the folder domoticz/plugin/Broadlink, he tries to execute some functiond in this folder, while the files (sub folder scr) are in reality in another folder, domoticz/plugin/Broadlink /Broadlink-Domoticz-plugin-main.

I can't setup (SSID+password) the RM4 mini following the instructions. I even tried to follow the advanced ones here https://github.com/mjg59/python-broadlink that specify the ip and i get "got an unexpected keyword argument 'ip_address'" error. Is it supposed to be "BroadlinkProv" in the SSID? I can only get to normal AP mode with the light blinking fast. I connect it to the laptop (windows 10) that I am running the commands on, but nothing happens. The "broadlink.setup('myssid', 'mynetworkpass', 3)" doesnt seem to work, the device is still in AP mode. Any ideas?

[lambrosgg]

I managed to connect it on my network and it gets detected in the Network Scan with a temperature reading.

However it shows as 0x520c and I cant switch the device on the Webadmin. Clicking "overwrite default device type" and selecting 0x520c from the list does nothing, its still 0x272a even after rebooting plugin or domoticz. I can see the device on the switches tabs but no temperature reading. What file is supposed to be selected on the top of the page?
