Python plugin: Slide by Innovation in Motion

[RogerSch]

Thanks for your support.
The problem is that Domoticz doesn`t find the Slide hardware at all.

For the time being I`m setting up a work around. I have an old Acer Netbook and installed Linux Mint on it. Now installing Domoticz. I will configure this netbook to connect to Slide and use it as a server Domoticz. My Domoticz on the Synology NAS can then connect to this server. I hope this works.

[RogerSch]

Mmm got a problem on installing Domoticz on Linux Mint. Seems that the install option is broken for a long time.

I think I bite the bullit and will switch over to Home Automation...

Hello packetloss can you explain which problem was solved by installing libpython3-dev? I`m trying to use the Python plugin on my Synology NAS but I can`t get it to work. My Synology NAS doesn`t have this pyhton module installed.

without installing libpython3-dev, Domoticz didnt show the Slide option in Hardware.

Thanks Lokonli!

Works like a charm on my RaspberryPi2 - rasbian Stretch. Nice integratienota, just what I needed.

Now running for a week or so, and it turns out I have to stop-start the plug-in every now and then as it creates an error message after a while. Any clues? I do notice my slides looses connection frequently and then reconnects, anything related to that?
Thanks.

How often do you have to restart the plugin?

The https connection to the slide server indeed disconnects sometimes, but should be reconnect automatically without issues.

I'll improve the handling in case access_token is undefined.

[JeroenL]

Hi Lokonli,

Thanks for your reply. I did not appreciate the fact it reconnects automatically. Probably when I checked, i noticed it not working, and hence restarted the plugin. But indeed looking at my log, I see now, it does re-connect after a while.

I've published release 0.1.7

Can you test this?

[JeroenL]

Hi again,

Wow, you are fast. Currently traveling so will try late tonight, or tomorrow. And let you know!

Regards jeroen

[JeroenL]

Hi Lokonli,

Installed your update late last night, saw the new version popping up in the log. It looks like it is working, but as I am away from home, difficult to visually confirm. I did not see any error messages last night, but this morning some are popping up.

What I notice now is that if I activate "Slide" in Domoticz the "last seen" does not change. It stays at the last seen of last-night. Also in the Slide App, the position of the curtains do not change. (In the App the curtains remain open).

This is what I see in the log, before and during activating the device:

Hi Jeroen,

This is not good. I have the same with my system. I'll try to fix it tonight.

Hi Jeroen,

Should be fixed in v0.1.8

[JeroenL]

Hi again,

Thanks - just updated - noticed that I physically had to remove the previous plugins from the plugin directory - as Domoticz was loading the old version again. That done, the new version starts and does not give any error messages.

When closing / opening in Domoticz the widget gets updated, I even see the slider move to an intermediate position and than to the far end. Still not home so can not do a visual check, but I was checking in the Slide app, here the "slider" in the app does get updated but not the curtain image in App (looks like a bug in the app to me).

I'll let it run overnight and look in the morning again.

That looks ok.

In fact if you click on 'modify' (aanpassen) in the Domoticz hardware -> slide the plugin gets loaded as well, only Domoticz reports it as the previous version.
Instead of removing the hardware you could also restart Domoticz.

[JeroenL]

16 hr later, al running well, no error messages. Just to mention I upgraded from stretch to buster over the weekend, so I can confirm it works on both versions.
Now hoping IIM make the local API available soon, I prefer not to be dependent of a remote server to run my home control.

Thanks for the feedback.

IIM is testing a closed beta for the local API. Let's wait.

Hey Lokonli,
When you do your next update, would you mind moving some of the logging to Debug rather than log? It's a little chatty in non debug mode .
Also, on rpi3, changing the heartbeat to

Code: Select all

if self._tick == 2: 

ensures minimal async read errors. Anything above still gives lots of errors.

I will do that.

It helped me in the debugging

Thanks for the feedback.

Many thanks! Still very happy with the plugin!

It's not needed for my plugin, but for the Domoticz plugin system in general.

Is python detected by Domoticz? Domoticz reports the python version in Settings->About.
If not: did you install the correct Domoticz version on your Synology?
See http://www.jadahl.com/
Install a version including Python

Yes Domotics recognize Python:

Code: Select all

PluginSystem: Started, Python version '3.5.1'.

Which is the version I have activited in the package manager and from Jadahl I have donloaded the Pyhton version.

As soon as I instruct Domoticz to enable new sensors for 5 minutes the following erro message appears in the log file:

Code: Select all

PluginList: Parsing '/usr/local/domoticz/var/plugins/slide-domoticz/', 'Error document empty.' at line 0 column 0 in XML ''.

plugin.py file in this folder has all the required rights...

I have no experience with Synology...

Maybe try the following:
On the hardware configurarion page set the debug info to all.
Then enable the hardware, without allowing new devices.
In the log file filter 'slide'. Do you see any result?

(I assume you filled in your email and password on the slide hardware configuration page)

Due to a multiple hard disk failure, luckily I have a backup NAS..., I needed to re-install my Synology NAS completly with new discs. Also I installed the latest version of Domiticz (Jadahl). I copied the Slide python file to the plugin directory as you stated in the installation manual (using WinSCP). Now it works directly (after restart of Domoticz)!
