Pb for run it

[Luckskynet]

Hello,
I followed your installation guide without worries.
But then it does not go as planned I have errors that appear, and having no programming knowledge I allow myself to contact you.
I try by entering the MAC address or not, I have the same result.
Can you help me ?

Hi! Make sure that you have correct version of the Broadlink library installed and you have not previously installed another version globally. This plugin was tested with version 0.10 of the library (pip3 install broadlink==0.10).

[Luckskynet]

Hello, I redid the installation as indicated with version 0.10, and I still get the same errors. When I try to activate it on Domoticz.
i'm sorry...

Hello there !

This is my first post on GitHub.

I had some issue too, but in first, i will help you @Luckskynet, i'm beginner in github but i pick up somes codes since few years in github and this problem was the mine too & it need to be solved.

In first, people need to know that the old version of the plugins is "dead" and the files are not online currently after somes research.

The domoticz plugins page is not up to date too..

So this plugins seems to be the better plugin about Broadlink after analyse (thanks the devs 💪 )

I was in the same case of you after somes researchs, many time & somes script i finally found.

It work with : RM pro + (for the rm mini 3 see under*)

For your problem that i had too, you need to do that :

Write by ms2076 on the forum : https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=21645&start=580

sudo pip3 uninstall broadlink
sudo -H pip3 install broadlink==0.10

Then

sudo cp -r /usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/broadlink-0.10.dist-info/ /usr/lib/python3.7/
and removed the 0.13 version broadlink folder from /usr/lib/python3.7/

To remove the older version you can go to /usr/lib/python3.7/

Then type :

sudo ls

That will permit to see all folder with the name beginning by "Broadlink" and do :

sudo rm -r "folder that you saw with 'ls' command"

Then, i type :

cd
cd /home/"YourUserOfRaspberry"/domoticz/plugins/
sudo chmod +x BroadlinkIR
sudo chmod +x BroadlinkIR/plugin.py

And i do the same with chmod 777 and 755 on this files & folder.

Then i added the ip of the broadlink here to be sure to have the acces betwen the devices & domoticz.

(not sure if it's necessary)

After that you need to reboot domoticz , for that you can use this command : sudo /etc/init.d/domoticz.sh restart

Now you had finished the part 1, you can seen the plugins on domoticz, let 0 for mac adress and debug true.

Then look in the log your just discovered hardware (yeahh 👍 )

After discovered your Broadlink hardware, you need to copy the mac adress than you seen in the log and modify your setting by removing the 0 in the mac adress field and paste your copy of your mac adress.

In the first time you will had a Broadlink devices created automatically in domoticz

Now i there two issue,

For the RM pro + , it work after more a more testing, i finally use this method :

Connect the first time my RM pro + to "IHC for EU" (app on my country for broadlinkhardware on android)

Go to my router and set a fixed DHCP IP for my broadlink

After that i restart my router.

Then i delete the hardware that i added previously on the app IHC for EU

And do a new add devices process, but, for this second time i cancel it when the app was researching my devices and not finished the inclusion (before 30 %) at the moment when my blue led of my broadlink hardware stopped to flash.

After that i will be able to catch command with my RM pro + on domoticz using the selector learn , test , create ! :)

This is all for the RM PRO +

I know that maybe some of this step is totally useless but it work for me, if we all can seeing more clearely to add this great plugins it will be better !

Don't hesitate to contact me and explain me the "true step" or what was the useless step.

---

Now this is the second part of the problem, i want to add 2 devices Broadlink RM mini 3 but i had somes issue :

Like you can seen in the first screen, the RM mini 3 is saw as : "Device type Unknown"

When i added the mac adress in the hardware settings, like for the RM pro + i have this error :

2021-02-09 00:05:07.177 (test 1 mini) Connected to Broadlink device type Unknown with IP address = 192.1xxxxx and Mac address = 5xxxxxx
2021-02-09 00:05:07.177 Error: (test 1 mini) 'onStart' failed 'AttributeError':''device' object has no attribute 'check_temperature''.
2021-02-09 00:05:07.177 Error: (test 1 mini) ----> Line 407 in '/home/pi/domoticz/plugins/BroadlinkIR/plugin.py', function onStart
2021-02-09 00:05:07.177 Error: (test 1 mini) ----> Line 89 in '/home/pi/domoticz/plugins/BroadlinkIR/plugin.py', function onStart

Have you got some issue to help my baby broadlink ? ^^

Thanks a lot

Regards

Hi, Foard! It looks like the model of your Broadlink Mini 3 was not detected correctly, so an error occurs when trying to read the temperature. Try on line 89 temperature = ir.check_temperature() replace by temperature = 0 Do the same for the line 245. Save changes and reload the plugin. After that, the Broadlink Mini 3 device should be created (the command center will appear).

[Foard59]

This was the solution.

Thank you a lot !

Edit :

Thank again @Whilser I'm now able to add broadlink RM mini 3 .

But it still one error when i click on "learn"

Here is the log :

021-02-09 18:54:33.005 Error: (test) test broadlink is not responding, check power/network connection. Error: <class 'AttributeError'>

I think we're close to resolved this issue ! :)

I just checked the plugin in Domoticz 2020.2 (the last one) on Raspberry OS 10 (buster). Everything works fine for me with Broadlink Pro and Mini 3. Make sure you have installed plugin according to the instructions, try to install plugin on a clean system. It is necessary to solve the main problem of device model recognition, without this it not be work correctly.

Hello Whilser,

get the controler in my Domoticz, but when I learn and create, then I get this in Domoticz log

2021-08-19 23:38:09.479 Error: Broadlink Rm3 mini: (Broadlink Rm3 mini) Broadlink Rm3 mini is not responding, check power/network connection. Error: <class 'broadlink.exceptions.ReadError'>
2021-08-19 23:38:09.480 Error: Broadlink Rm3 mini: (Broadlink Rm3 mini) No IR command received!

My setup workt before the reinstall. My microsd was chrashed, so I had to install again. In the past I did several times with succes, bu now I don't know what the problem is.

Greetings,
Peter
