Installing Plugin won't work

[robinvd]

Hello,

Im trying to add my Qlima AC to Domoticz, there is a Plugin that should can do that. I tried multiple times & multiple ways to install the plugin. I did the following:

Code: Select all

login to Raspberry
cd domoticz/plugins
git clone https://github.com/mac-zhou/midea-msmart.git
cd midea-msmart
git clone https://github.com/awalsum/Qlima.git
sudo reboot

the files are present on the filesystem, and I changed the rights with

Code: Select all

chmod +x plugin.py

What am I doing wrong? In the Hardware list there is no Midea or Qlima device.

I'm using Version: 2021.1, on a raspberry PI Model 3B

make sure that you have python-dev installed

Also follow the troubleshooting instructions for Python plugins https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Using_Pyt ... leshooting

Is it the first plugin you are trying to install?

I have the same plugin working so I can confirm it works.

I now can add the AC via Hardware, but it's not showing up at Devices. The Log is saying this:

There should be an msmart folder with Python files in your Qlima plugin folder.

[robinvd]

Hello, it now works and the device is shown in de devices menu. I now have another problem I think.. My Qlima SC5248 is not supported says the Midea-discover command.. Thanks for the help, if there is a way I can get it to work..it would be nice.

[waltervl]

It supports the SK102 Wifi Stick and not the SK-103.....

[robinvd]

Do you know if I can change the wifi stick on the airco? it's just a usb dongle.. but will it work?

[waltervl]

It should work see https://domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.ph ... a&start=80
But they are hard to get I believe.

English please....

[antoniojgc]

What was the problem you had?
The same thing happens to me and I haven't been able to solve it yet.

[waltervl]

What same problem do you have? The crypto module not found?

I have installed the qlima plugin, but it doesn't show me any devices in the device list. It gives me the error:

Note: I have changed some points, because it would not let me send the post with the original text.

[waltervl]

Seems that python msmart module has been changed and is not compatible with the plugin code anymore. Did you check the GitHub repository of the plugin? Perhaps there are similar issues...

[waltervl]

There are also various version of this plugin, check topic viewtopic.php?p=293590
