Great job! Good to see that more and more Python plugins are being developed.
I am currently working on a plugin for Sony Bravia TV. Currently some issues with importing modules, but hope to fix that soon.

Hi,
I'm stuck. After
Code: Select all
sudo cp -r /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/samsungctl/ /usr/lib/python3.4/
the switches are added.
Code: Select all
2017-04-18 22:51:48.704 Error: (SamsungTV) 'onCommand' failed 'ImportError'.

2017-04-18 22:51:48.704 Error: (SamsungTV) ----> Line 13 in /usr/lib/python3.4/samsungctl/remote_websocket.py, function __init__
Any thoughts what I could do? Calling samsungctl directly works.
Cheers,

The error is line 13: import websocket
websocket is required for new Samsung TV.
if the command line is working, do you have put right settings into Domoticz Hw configuration page ?

Thanks. Got it working now. New challenge. I found this command
Code: Select all
wakeonlan -i 192.168.99.255 F8:3F:51:DE:33:33
to wake up my tv. But when I use this in the parameters for your plugin it doesn't work. I also tried adding a bash script containing the same command and calling that. But that also doesn't work.
How do I call a shell command to do a wakeonlan?
Thanks for your help!
btw
didn't copy the files but used symbolic links...
Code: Select all
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/samsungctl/ /usr/lib/python3.4/samsungctl
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/websocket/ /usr/lib/python3.4/websocket
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/six.py /usr/lib/python3.4/six.py

nice to see it's working.
for WOL
I would do it in this way:
/full/path/toyour/wol.sh
wol.sh need to be executable, I supose.
into it:
/full/path/toyour/wakeonlan -i 192.168.99.255 F8:3F:51:DE:33:33
/full/path/toyour/ is here only as example.

Sorry. Thanks for the suggestion but it doesn't work. If I send the command from the terminal it works. When I enter it in the settings for your plugin Nothing happens....
Strange!

I have a 2016+ SamsungTV. I have installed the samsungctl and websocket plugin and everything works from command line.
I have also copied samsunctl and websocket to /usr/local/lib/python3.5/ and plugin started working in Domoticz, meaning the 4 devices have been created.
But the current state of settings is shown incorrectly.
I am not getting any errors in Domoticz log, but the following suggests, the settings are somehow wrong:
Code: Select all
2017-05-13 08:43:33.520 (SamsungTV Dom) Calling message handler 'onHeartbeat'.
2017-05-13 08:43:33.523 (SamsungTV Dom) Delaynumber : 7
2017-05-13 08:43:33.523 (SamsungTV Dom) isAlive status :False
What should be configured as port in the plugin settings for websockets? I have tried 8001, but then I got errors, when I have it at default 55000 I do not get any errors, but it does not work. If I try to initiate any command on the created devices, I get:
Code: Select all
2017-05-13 08:55:43.166 (SamsungTV Dom) Calling message handler 'onCommand'.
2017-05-13 08:55:43.166 (SamsungTV Dom) onCommand called for Unit 1: Parameter 'Off', Level: 0, Connected: False
2017-05-13 08:55:43.167 Error: (SamsungTV Dom) Not Connected
I have updated port again to 8001 (websocket) and now I am getting the status for the TV, but the following is logged in the Domoticz log:
Code: Select all
2017-05-13 09:10:47.855 Error: (SamsungTV Dom) 'onStart' failed 'ImportError'.

2017-05-13 09:10:47.855 Error: (SamsungTV Dom) ----> Line 26 in /usr/local/lib/python3.5/websocket/_abnf.py, function
Please let me know, what might be a problem (TV is on during tests of course, as I am using WiFi connection, so WoL does not work).

Hi,
do not have recent Samsung TV so not able to test on my side.
What I know: port should be 8001 and websocket-client module installed.

@mKotek,
Almost sure it is a python issue (wrong version or default version), i 2 have the same errors as you have with same websocket-client module. I to have similair problems with the wan ip plugin.

Please help. This linux noob is getting frustrated.
Synology diskstation ds216j domoticz DSM 6.1.1-15101 Update 1 python module 0109 and python3.5.1.
I installed by ssh/root the samsungctl mandatory and the websocket. In domoticz i find te samsung under hardware and fill in as supposed. But the additional switches won't install. I chmodded 777 and a +x just incase this was the problem.
In domoticz i get the error Error: (SamsungTV) failed to load 'plugin.py', Python Path used was '/usr/local/domoticz/var/plugins/samsungtv/:/volume1/@appstore/py3k/usr/local/lib/python35.zip:/volume1/@appstore/py3k/usr/local/lib/python3.5/:/volume1/@appstore/py3k/usr/local/lib/python3.5/plat-linux:/volume1/@appstore/py3k/usr/local/lib/python3.5/lib-dynload'.
I tried a lot and seems like its a python3 location problem as i read above. Where do i have to install the samsungctl , did it in usr/local/domoticz/var/plugins/samsungtv
I did a sudo python3 -m pip install and it all went well.
Amang trying thought it could be that pip needs a reinstall tried to curl and also not working. Could someone set out the steps one by one so i cam start over or is it an easy problem to fix? thanx all

When I try to run this (from the WIKI page)
Code: Select all
samsungctl -i --host 192.168.0.106
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/bin/samsungctl", line 9, in <module>
load_entry_point('samsungctl==0.6.0', 'console_scripts', 'samsungctl')()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/samsungctl/__main__.py", line 93, in main
config = _read_config()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/samsungctl/__main__.py", line 37, in _read_config
except FileNotFoundError:
NameError: global name 'FileNotFoundError' is not defined
I installd both samsungctl and the websocketclient as instructed in the WIKI. My tv is a pre-2016 model, and it has a static IP. It is a UE50J6200 model

@EdKo66
Change the installed location from python2.7 to 3.4 (or higher) because the "FileNotFoundError" is not found in python 2.7
So change sudo pip install samsungctl to sudo pip3 install samsungctl and sudo pip install websocket-client to sudo pip3 install websocket-client
