Install instructions no longer work #87
Comments

Looks like new release of python-broadlink library doesn't work with Python 2.7, only Python 3 |
Thanks for the response, I updated my Python to 3.7 but still get the same error any tips? appreciate in advance. |
|
What command do you use to run mqtt.py with Python 3.7? |
|
im just running ./mqtt.py currently
im just running ./mqtt.py currently |
|
I guess it still uses Python 2.7 |
now het the following I did the pip install -r requirements.txt and paho installed but the same error. Traceback (most recent call last): |
|
pip also should be from Python 3 |
progress (I think) appreciate, just need to sort out the custom.conf now. Traceback (most recent call last): |
|
"Authentication failed" means that the Broadlink device is currently connected to the phone application. In order to use it by this tool you need to reset the device and connect it to broadlink-mqtt only |
|
I’m using a BG1 do I need to remove it from the app?

I'll add this to the main instructions

I'm not sure. You have either remove it from the mobile app or reset device settings to wipe out the connection between device and application |
|
Ok so making progress and thank you for the help, it needs to be in the app still, its connecting but I am getting the following any ideas?

Ignore my last message, it was a capital in the password that was throwing the error

Once again thank you for the support, I now have the socket working just need to work out now how to add additional sockets, as an update this is what I had to do to get it working:
1/ I had to remove the socket from the app as it was not broadcasting MQTT messages even though it was connected to boradlink-mqtt successfully, this is due to the app having it cloud connected
2/ put the BG1 socket into AP mode
3/ Build a linux laptop and install bpython3 broadlink
4/ join the laptop to the BG1 AP network
5/ run broadlink_cli –joinwifi SSID SSIDPASSWORD
6/ success

what mode (device_type) do you use in your configuration? |
|
For the first device I did direct connection, I am going to try lookup so I have made these changes to the config.conf do they look right? (Second switch I still need to configure to get the real MAC)
# Type of device. Valid options are 'lookup', 'multiple_lookup', 'rm', 'rm4', 'sp1', 'sp2', 'a1', 'mp1', 'dooya', 'bg1'
device_type = 'lookup' # use lookup
## lookup parameters
lookup_timeout = 20
#local_address = '127.0.0.1'
## parameters for direct connection
# device_host = '192.168.1.73'
# device_mac = '24:df:a7:e6:48:54'
## MQTT connection parameters
mqtt_broker = 'localhost' # default: 'localhost'
mqtt_port = 1883 # default: 1883
mqtt_clientid = 'broadlink'
mqtt_username = 'root'
mqtt_password = 'Welcome1'
mqtt_topic_prefix = 'broadlink/'
mqtt_multiple_subprefix_format = 'BG1_192.168.1.73_24:df:a7:e6:48:54/BG1_192.168.1.74_25:df:a7:e6:48:54/' # use only with 'multiple_lookup' device type (allowed parameters are {type}, {host}, {mac}, {mac_nic})
#mqtt_birth_topic = 'clients/broadlink'
#mqtt_birth_payload = 'Hello!'
mqtt_will_topic = 'clients/broadlink'
mqtt_will_payload = 'Adios!'

You should use multiple_lookup type to use autodiscovery for multiple devices |
|
Think I mis-understood the instructions, so if I changed my config to juts look like the below, I would not need to put ip and mac of the devices in?
device_type = 'multiple_lookup'
mqtt_multiple_subprefix_format = '{type}_{mac_nic}/

Yes, this is what auto-lookup is for |

Perfect that’s working it’s now seeing two sockets, last challenge I am seeing this:
[2020-11-11 12:03:52,154] ERROR MQTT topic broadlink/power/2 has no recognized device reference, expected one of BG1_192.168.1.71/,BG1_192.168.1.26/

Yes, this is what auto-lookup is for
The only thing that is essential for lookup modes is correct local_address if your device is connected to multiple networks

Looks like you changed mqtt_multiple_subprefix_format to {type}_{host} |
|
Yes I had to change to {type]_[host} as when I used [mac_nic} it only used the first few characters of the mac address which ended up being the same so had duplicates and threw errors.
All working now successfully controlling both switches via home assistant, last step getting mqtt.py to run all the time
Thanks so much for your help this has been a very interesting project

So now you need to send commands to the topic like broadlink/BG1_192.168.1.71/power/1 not broadlink/power/1
