Python Plugin : Broadlink RM2 V4

[zak45]

Hi and thanks for your reply. Is there any way to upgrade the plug-in easily? Or do I need to remove the previous one and git clone the last?

just download plugin.py from dropbox and replace existing one in your plugin folder.

Hi,
I'll try it out and keep you posted. Thanks.

For others: Please ensure to chmod +x the .sh file in the Broadlink dir (I also chmod the ones .py in the various directories). For me I went from nothing works to very close to make it work properly

Edit: @Zak45, you might also change the wiki page (transfered to httpS)

Hi,

I think it is better now. But I am having some issue with the switch created. Exemple: I have the ON/OFF IR button for my hifi (It is the same button, and I guess the same code).

After creating the switch, if the hifi is off, the switch powers it on. But if it's on, it does not powers it off. With the IHC app, both (ON/OFF with the same switch) works properly. I try to change the switch type from Push On button to On/Off but still not working. I will try to copy the Push On button to create a Push Off button and see what it gives.

Push On button log

EDIT: For the Learn/Test/Save button, it is OK now (just forgot to mention that)

The new system
The Broadlink Plugin does not work

Broadlink not running

Hi,

Broadlink not running

I think you're in the Device manager. After adding the hardware Broadlink, new switches are directly created. As you have no errors on your logs, I think t'oure on good track.

Anyway, your broadlink folder is not correct (or not the one I used). In domoticz/plugins you shall have "BroadlinkRM2", copying the .py files within it, ns copy the broadlin folder (that shall contain ___init___.py file). Rename your broadlink folder to BroadlinkRM2 and copy the broadlink folder (for me, it was in /root/python-broadlink/broadlink) to the BroadlinkRM2 folder (a chmod +X on the __init___.py might be needed... I don't remember... try without the chmod and see what it gives )

Sorry I edited the previous post while comparing your installation folders to mine.

Editing all together

No you need to copy the Broadlink folder itslef (find -iname broadlink) with all the content. normally it shall ony content a file __init__.py and eventually a pycache folder)

And I guess you will have to restart your domoticz after doing so... OR at leat to "recreate" the hardware. I would recommand restart Domoticz

@kniazio

Broadlink plugin will not work in this case.

It did not do anything

[Darkneo]

__init__.py shall be in another folder.

~/BroadlinkRM2:
plugin.py
plugin_http.py
plugin_http.sh
plugin_send.py

~/BroadlinkRM2/broadlink:
__init__.py

As Zak said, also remove pycrypto (if you do not need it). I did not remove pycrptodome at the time... and I am able to connect to the Broadlink

[kniazio]

I do not have

[Darkneo]

Typo issue on my side.

pycryptodome

On my side, as I said, I have still pycryptodome. Try to remove pycrypto only at first

hands are falling

[kniazio]

pycrypto removed
it still does not work

Can you specify the location of the files with the plugin?
Maybe I have bad files
Send me your files

[Darkneo]

Regarding your module list, we have the same files. But I cant send you a zip file later tonight.

in SSH could you please go to plugin folder:

Code: Select all

cd /home/pi/domoticz/plugins

Then:

Code: Select all

ls -a

Then:

Code: Select all

cd BroadlinkRM2

Then:

Code: Select all

ls -a

Waste of time

Hi all,

Just bought a broadlink rm pro+ and installed it on my rpi 3b with raspbian stretch.
After that i got three switches: broadlink command, remote and import.
I can add devices by doing
-learning,
-save ,then
-generate and finaly
-import
-add the device

Only things that dont work are
- switch remote. When i click on the button it does nothing, its greyed-out.
The errorlog gives: 2019-03-08 21:00:14.967 Error: (broadlink2) ini file not found: /home/pi/domoticz/BroadlinkRM2-26-254.ini
- switch import/webstart.
The errorlog gives:
2019-03-08 21:03:50.453 Error: (broadlink2) 127
2019-03-08 21:03:50.453 Error: (broadlink2) /home/pi/domoticz/plugins/BroadlinkRM2/plugin_http.sh 0.0.0.0 9000 /home/pi/domoticz
2019-03-08 21:03:50.453 Error: (broadlink2) None
2019-03-08 21:03:50.484 Error: (broadlink2) Not able to start Web server

Is there a way to solves these two 'problems'....
The rest seemd to work ok!

Code: Select all

sudo pip3 install broadlink
sudo pip3 install pyaes

download plugin.py
download plugin_send.py
download plugin_http.py
download plugin_http.sh

mkdir BroadlinkRM2 on the domoticx plugin folder 

and copied the scripts  to domoticz/plugins directory 
chmod +x plugin.py
chmod +x plugin_send.py
chmod +x plugin_http.py
chmod +x plugin_http.sh
