Temporary fix HA 0.115 UUID issue. Setup failed for sonoff: Requirements for sonoff not found: ['uuid'].

[tyjtyj]

UUID is some hex

Generate uuid from a python command
python -c 'import uuid; print(uuid.uuid4())'
or simply type any hex with the following format
xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

eg. PLEASE CHANGE THIS
12345678-abcd-1234-abcd-123456789012

Open init.py file

Remove UUID requirement Line 45
REQUIREMENTS = ['websocket-client==0.54.0']

Comment out Line 210
#import uuid

Line 223
self._imei = 'your uuid here'

Funciono para mi, solo decir que hay que dejar las comillas self._imei = 'your uuid here' yo las quite y no funcionaba :-D

gracias!

@tyjtyj You are right. But your line numbers are wrong, These are the correct ones.

Generate UUID from a python command
python -c 'import uuid; print(uuid.uuid4())'
or simply type any hex with the following format
xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

Replace line 26:
REQUIREMENTS = ['uuid', 'websocket-client==0.54.0']
for this:
REQUIREMENTS = ['websocket-client==0.54.0']

Line 121:
import uuid
for
#import uuid

Line 134:
self._imei = str(uuid.uuid4())
for
self._imei = 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'

For anyone unsure which file to edit:

vi /root/config/custom_components/sonoff/__init__.py

Sorry, I am completely stuck as a newbie.

I tried to install the AlexxIT-sonoff-ingetragtion with HACS, but I also ended up with this "requirements not found"-error.

I do not understand what to do with the phyton-command. It should not be added to the init-file, right?

I also checked my init-file but I could not find the mentioned lines. Searching the entire file for "requirements" or "websocket" failed.

This is how the first lines of my init-file look like:

I found you only need to remove uuid from the requirements line, uuid is in the standard library.

Hi unfortunately,
nothing above has helped with the latest HomeAssistant Release 2020.12. to fix the issue below. Actually the Error disappears, but I was sill not able to see my Ewelink switches and sensors. So I have to downgrade to 0.114.4 the last version which is working for me.

Any suggestions how to fix?

After install HomeAssistant Release 2020.12. I have got following:
14/12/2020 10:35

if you remove it right. there should be no uuid requirement.

I found a way to fix this for good: Do pip install uuid once its done go to the file and revert line 26 to require 'uuid' (Or leave it alone if havent touched it yet)
Then add the line import uuid under import websocket... (My file came without it)
Finally revert line 134 to (or leave it as) original
Save and restart hass. Now it should work as intended

@josrafafonlo, sorry if that is dummy question but where do you do 'pip install uuid'? It is clearly not in the file itself so where is it please? Thanks!
