Broadlink plugin - alpha version

Broadlink plugin - alpha version

Install steps with pictures : https://imgur.com/a/9XnySxE

Setup
1. Setup the device via the offical broadlink app , just make
sure it is added to you network ... (A manual Setup Device Plugin Action -might be added later so you can skip using the app )

1.1 Unlock Device - After setting up the device via the offical app .. there is a setting in the latest broadlink
app for unlocking the device. You must do this .. alternatively do the manual setup instead.... so your device never gets locked


2. Install the the plugin via the .egplugin file - from my google drive (bottom of each of my posts)

3. Add plugin to eventghost (it will autodiscover your device (only 1 device is supported atm))
(it should print your device name to the console ... looking good so far)

4. Learn IR or RF Signals via the Plugin Actions.
- 1 . Enter a command name , 2 . Press apply 3. Press "Test" or run the action in a makro..

if it worked .. "command added" will be printed to the console ... then you can select
the command in Send IR or RF actions" ...

5. Send IR or Rf Signals via the plugin Actions.
(there will be a dropdown you can select the command... press apply ... or test to see if the magic happens )

´
Test version
with v.0.8
- a basic user friendly flow is now in place ... you can name your commands !!!

Tested / Confirmed working Devices
> RM Pro Plus (0x27a9) (old firmware - tested)
> RM 3 Mini (0x5f36) (latest firmware - v44057 - tested )

I am using the old eventghost. Will it work with eventghost 0.4 R1722?

I think so.

Great job Medy,
I currently use the RM plugin for Tasker but am happy to see you working on this.
I have also been getting bombarded by those recent emails from IFTTT and am just relieved I didn't actually use them as my method for home automation.
All the best.

Okay ... cool ... I was using tasker for a long time ... but eventually moved everything to eventghost ...
The only downside is that its still running on python 2.7 ... so newer libraries are likely incompatible ....


im still waiting to get some feedback ... if stuff works ...
Then I can make improvements ...

[chipd33]

Hi Medy ,
that is interesting, I hadn't thought about that. 2.7 was sunset on Jan 1 ,2020.
It is just a never ending job to keep software contemporary. At least your work will work with EG but it is a shame if newer libraries won't work.
I will let you know if I find any issues if I use EG to run RF devices now that your plugin has made that possible.

Greetings , thanks for testing.


I was able to reproduce and find the error....

You can either replace this folder "cryptography" you have here E:\PROGRAMS\EventGhost\plugins\Broadlink\cryptography
with this updated cryptography folder I uploaded here : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1y7Lib ... WJ-LWTO64W


Or you do a fresh install ... I uploaded a new version in my google drive ... called v0.1 ..

maybe remove the previous files just in case ... (Idk what happens to the previous files tbh ... running the new egplugin file to update might just work though)

Im thrilled to know if it works ... let me know

[*Roma*]

I replace the folder "cryptography", but I get same error as before.
I tried the fresh install of v0.1 plugin, unfortunately I get same error as before.

Thanks
Roman

[Medy]

did you restart eventghost ? im not getting that error on a fresh install....
will take a look again tommorrow

[*Roma*]

Yes, I restarted the eventghost.

[Medy]

Yes, I restarted the eventghost.

okay in your eventghost site.packes folder ... there is no other crypthography package right ?
if there is you need to delete it .

I think I previously made a folder in my gdrive instructing to copy things there ....
EventGhost\lib27\site-packages

delete cryptograhy from all places it could be located
-site packages
- C Drive\program data
- Program Files (x86)

and only use the egplugin file from now to install (so the only place it will be is C Drive\program data...)


i tried it with EG 0.5 rc6 and it works

Will take another look tommorrow gotta sleep now
we will definetly get this sorted out ... I mean it works on my end ... and im using 0.5 too ...

[*Roma*]

I have only one copy of crypthography package.

When I restart eventghost with enabled plugin - I get other error messages:
