Broadlink plugin - alpha version

[Medy]

After moving cffi_backend file - EG successfully detected the rm mini 3:

Code: Select all

Model : RM mini 3
Device Network Adress : ('192.168.50.205', 80)
Broadlink.Discovery.Completed

But when I try to learn IR code - I get this error:

Code: Select all

Exception in thread Thread-838:

Thanks

Ohh this is looking good then. At least all seems to be in place now and the program is running...

The authentication stuff should be the last hurdle ...
ON my device it doesnt happen ... but I read that it can happen on some devices...
https://github.com/mjg59/python-broadlink/issues/377

but this is fixable ... sadly you will need to stick to eventghost only in that case ...

It involves a few steps
1. reset the device
2. connect to the device
3. run setup()


I will implement this .... to make it painless... was going to anyway...

But as mentioned in the link you can try this
Factory reset the device.
Open Broadlink app and connect the device to your local network.
STOP. Do not finish the setup. Close the app.

then it might work

Thanks for the testing ... if there are any further issues .. I may get myself a rm 3 mini for the challenge and definitely get things running for that device...

Already struggled long and hard to get this far getting things to run in eventghost wasnt that pleasant ...
Definetnly wouldnt touch this kind of deprecated project again if it wasnt in my own interest xD....

But getting the rm 3 mini , rmpro plus and maybe the rm4 pro running would definetly make some ppl happy. And I would like that

After resetting and connecting to the local network - I stopped to get Authentication error.

Now when I try to learn IR code - I getting the following messages:

Code: Select all

hmm can you repeat the learning and make sure the app / phone is off ... just in case
I dont know how agressive this thing is ....

I would have assumed it works at this point ... since your device was found ... it is a good sign.

Can you see a LED turning on when the learning starts ?
And then turning off when discovery ends ?

if it does it means it is succefully authenticated and learning mode is working.
At that point data should be picked up

I repeated when the phone was off - without success.

LED is off when the learning starts!

I have one last thing we can try ... its just a wild guess though

If that doesnt work I need to order the thing and go in hard ....

1. replace that __init__py I attached with the __init__.py from
program data / plugins / broadlink / broadlink/ __init__.py
(its the broadlink folder inside the broadlink folder)

make a backup of that file and put it back if it didnt work ....


Basicly it just a extended compatibilty list from the latest release .... might not do anything ...

Ok never mind ... cant do more at his point ... sadly ... Dont know what it is exactly that is not working ... I would just have to guess .. have to go deep ...

Will try add Manual setup Today .... maybe this fixes things ....but idk really ...
(Just ordered the thing from amazon ... if it doesnt work I can send it back if need be xD)

Greetings ,

Got the device ... aaaaannnnd ... it looks like its going to work.

There are rm minis 3 out there with older and a newer firmware...
So may add smth that detects what version you have ...basicly my own "Compatibilty Check"
into the code of tested/confirmed devices.

Maybe I can migrate to the latest library version which addresses a lot of these compatibility issues ...
Edit : Cant migrate to the latest version easily ... its fully going for python 3 and dropping 2.7 ...
which means I would need to rewrite lots of code / the whole thing almost probably ...
...


In any case ... I already got the device successfully into learning mode(LED TURNS ON) ... by only making a few adjustments ...

[*Roma*]

When the plugin will be ready - I will happy to test

[Medy]

When the plugin will be ready - I will happy to test

Well its looking not good ...
There is a issue with authorisation .. that keeps blocking the device ....
figuring this out myself ... would take ages ... so I opened an issue ...

Thats all I can do ....

[Medy]

When the plugin will be ready - I will happy to test

But I may be able to reslove this if I get help ... its just .. the library , functionlity is not documentent ...
May just take a while ...

I have to literally wild guess or hope someone had the same issue before .... which then got explained by a devloper
