Python Plugin: LG Smart AC (SmartThinQ) Topic is solved

[CronoS]

Nobody? Why do I need to restart the Domoticz service in order to get the LG Plugin going again? Does anyone else has this issue with this plugin? It works for around 2 to 3 hours, then I need to restart domoticz. I do not change anything in the Plugin configuration, so that stays the same; only the Domoticz restart seems to fix it.

Did your search in the log files if there is an error?

By restarting domoticz, i think you also restart the plugin.
How is everything responding when you disable the plugin and enable it again?

Thanks for the reply, I didn't test this option earlier on.
I have two airconditioning LG units (multisplit) and therefor I have 2 LG hardware items within Domoticz. When I disable and Re-enable the first Airco; it responds back OK, so this seems to also fix the issue. But the strange thing is, at that same time, the other airconditioning Unit does not work using the same plugin. When I disable and re-enable the other one als it works. Any idea what can cause this behavior and what could be the fix.

I want to use my Domoticz setup to automate my Airco's

In the Domoticz log I see this error when it is not working

Error: LG: Call to function 'onCommand' failed, exception details:

Basically it says not logged in I guess; but the plugin uses that Wideq file for authentication. I don't know exactly how this works, but I would not suggest that restarting a service of Domoticz (or the hardware) should fix the issue. So I think there something else causing the failture after some time.

A new update from this Plugin fixed the issue that I had!

Guys, please let me introduce new feature that I recently added to this plugin. It is for getting energy consumption data from LG servers (even 2 years back!) and putting it to domoticz. Great way to have energy history in our domoticz, isn't it?

Details here https://github.com/majki09/domoticz_lg_ ... ory-script

Enjoy!

Awesome Thanks! But unfortunately this will not work on a Multisplit model. Because when connecting to a multi-split model the kWh settings are disabled by default as far as I know. Tested it; but unfortunately 0 kwh reading.

Oh, that's not good. I didn't have an idea that it would not work on different models. Do you have any power history on official LG mobile app? On the app, do you have single device or many? The script basically uses the same API as app does. Unfortunately I don't have multisplit, I supposed it works the same like single split (from the app side of view).

I only have 1 LG unit.
But you have 2, on hardware tab you made 2 rows?

We have to ask the designer if that is possible. Because the plugin has to switch between this rows (correct?)
Are the logins maintained, or is it making this problem?

In the LG thin Q app there is nothing related to power consumption, other functions are present. In the App I have two airco units, both are the latest models. If you use these models in a Single Split setup, then you have the energy consumption. But in a Multisplit setup this is functionality is disabled on the LG by default. Using a Shelly to measure the powermanagemet of it as a workaround .

Yes; when setting up the Plugin I get two device ID's. Added both to Domoticz in the Hardware setup page. With the latest version of the plugin this works OK by default.

Thanks for clarification. It seems that even when you have many LG IDs and you can control them separately from domoticz plugin, it's not possible to readout the power consumption in multi-split setup. I suppose multisplit doesn't distinguish power consumption between each devices, maybe that's why LG disables it
Glad that you handle it with Shelly

I can't get it working anymore

Could NOT log in. Probably you need to accept new agreement in the mobile app.

A new update from this Plugin fixed the issue that I had!

I have the problem that after a few weeks the plugin no longer works.
Restarting the plugin is not a solution, only after domoticz.service is restarted does it work again.
Now I would like to update the plugin, but what is the best way to do that?
(sorry for my bad english)
