[zak45]

Thank you kingoifsnake74 for you answerd.

It mean that nobody can use the Broadlink with Domoticz in this moment ???

the V3 is here.

Hello zak45,

I have problems with the configuration of the Broadlink to Domoticz.

Could you send you my log file and json files ??

Thank you in advanced

It seems that i am too simple to get broadlink working on my RP. with Domoticz and also the lack of knowledge does not help .
I even bought a new Sdcard and installed domoticz from scratc

New (Latest raspbian jessie lite img.) and domoticz version 3.8114. etc.

Then i typed below (to the letter. i Think/hope)

sudo apt-get install python3-pip libglib2.0-dev
sudo pip3 install Crypto
sudo pip3 install broadlink
sudo cp -r /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/Crypto/ /usr/lib/python3.4/
sudo cp -r /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/broadlink /usr/lib/python3.4/
sudo service domoticz restart

i hoped to see the broadlink in the hardware setup list. But nothing.

this is what i found in the Log. ( with other stuff in between)
2017-07-23 16:02:35.471 PluginSystem: Started, Python version '3.4.2
2017-07-23 16:02:37.945 PluginSystem: Entering work loop.

2017-07-23 16:02:38.010 EventSystem: Started

If it is not to much to ask has plaaggeest or Zak45 has any idea or point me in a direction of "Broadlink installation in Domoticz for dummies"

thanks a lot

@goblin
Hi,
do you have downloaded plugin.py and put it under plugins/BroadlinkRM2 ??

[goblin]

Thank zak45, for your reply:
i have only done what written in my last post.
i can not find the dir. plugins/broadlinkRM with WinSCP
the closest i could find is /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/broadlink
Also no broadlinkRM.

you will find all information in Domoticz Wiki and/or Forum.
you need to create the directory by yourself and put the plugin.py under it.
see http://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Using_Python_plugins

i just did :
# Obtain plugin from github
mkdir -p domoticz/plugins/denon/
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/domot ... non4306.py > domoticz/plugins/denon/plugin.py

# set execute permissions (default was 644 pi:pi)
chmod 755 domoticz/plugins/denon/plugin.py

# restart domoticz service
sudo systemctl restart domoticz.service

and got this in the log:
2017-07-25 17:46:42.649 Error: PluginList: Parsing '/home/pi/domoticz/plugins/denon/', 'Error document empty.' at line 0 column 0 in XML ''.

and found the plugin.py at ./proc/self/task/13041/cwd/domoticz/plugins/denon/ (and in /AwoxSMP/)
the plugin.py was empty so i replaced them with the downloaded one from you (2017 3.0.0)

One step closer: got the broadlink in the hardware setup but nothing happens when i push setup.
it differs also a lot with the screen on https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Plugins/BroadlinkRM2.html

(i wish i understood a little bit more of linux)

regards

do not follow wiki explicitly, sometimes this show only example, this is the case for Denon, need to be adapted to what you want to implement.

[goblin]

thanks zak45,
that's what happens if your not familiar with linux
any hints to incorporate broadlink in Domoticz ?

Thanks.

you have generated wrong ID value into the ini file for remote control. please see wiki.

[Moulders]

ah!

thanks for the input, I had assumed the ini file was automatically generated! I'll give it a try when I get home to night

Thanks

[Moulders]

I'm still struggling with the ini files.. can anyone provide an example of theirs so I can compare?

this is an example of ini need to be created for remote customization

Hello, I am trying to install my Broadlink RM pro on my Domoticz which runs on a Synology. I am on:
Synology DSM: DSM 6.1.3-15152 Update 1
Domoticz: 3.0.8153-7
Python: 3.5.1-0105 (installed package, if I check the version with ‘python –version’ I get Python 2.7.12 as result)

During installation, I have tried to run the ‘pip3 install broadlink’ command under ssh, but this failed (response: ‘pip3: command not found’).
I have copied the plugin files in /usr/local/domoticz/var/plugins/Domoticz-Broadlink.
After adding the hardware for the Broadlink using IP 127.0.0.1 and mac ‘000..00’, an entry is added to the hardware list.



Then my Domoticz freezes. In my package list on my Synology I see that Domoticz has been stopped. After starting it again, I find the following error messages in my log:
2017-08-13 15:11:06.731 Error: (BroadlinkRM2) failed to load 'plugin.py', Python Path used was '/usr/local/domoticz/var/plugins/Domoticz-Broadlink/
:/volume2/@appstore/py3k/usr/local/lib/python35.zip:/volume2/@appstore/py3k/usr/local/lib/python3.5/
:/volume2/@appstore/py3k/usr/local/lib/python3.5/plat-linux :/volume2/@appstore/py3k/usr/local/lib/python3.5/lib-dynload'.

2017-08-13 15:11:06.731 Error: (Broadlink RM Pro) Module Import failed, exception: 'ImportError'

2017-08-13 15:11:06.731 Error: (Broadlink RM Pro) Module Import failed: ' Name: broadlink'

I still see the Broadlink in the hardware list, but no new device in the device list or under the switches tab (device My br – Discover has not been created). I have set the Broadlink to inactive to prevent Domoticz from freezing.

My guess is that the Broadlink plugin has not been installed properly as the pip3 command failed, but I am not sure. The discrepancy between the installed and reprted Python version is also strange.

Can anyone please help with a solution or ideas what to check. I am not a linux expert, so please spell it out for me.

Thanks in advance!!

[zak45]

@heureekma
"if I check the version with ‘python –version’ I get Python 2.7.12 as result"

for me this should be the main problem. Others users with synology have been able to install it so should work.
I'm sorry but not able to help, I'm on Windows. Just do some search on the forum, maybe you could found the solution.

[heureekma]

@zak45, thx

I have searched if could find info on how to install a pytho service in synology. I found this: https://primalcortex.wordpress.com/2016 ... nstaller/

It was clear that the installs had not run properply because PIP was not installed. After installing PIP, and adding te ip/mac manually, 4 devices appeared in domoticz: import, temp, remote, command.

This looked like progress, but the 'Command' device does not work. Pressing the 'Learn' button in the 'Command' device gives no result (status should change to 'On', I would expect a led on the receiver to blink or light up).

In the log, every 30s the following error appears:
Error: Broadlink Pro hardware (15) thread seems to have ended unexpectedly

I don't know what to check next. I would be gratefull for suggestions.

For those on synology, take a look there:
