already copy connector to config but nothing showup in HA integration

[p2544]

I have copy the director connector to \192.168.1.xxx\config\connector

restart home assistant server, go to integration even hit F5 to refresh and add i still cannot find "connector" for my blinds in the integration.

Please help!!

[nzamps]

I got this to work by putting the connector folder in /config/custom_components and adding a required version number to manifest.json >

"version": "1.0.0",

[ConnectorGit]

Please put the connector folder in /config/custom_components

[p2544]

Please put the connector folder in /config/custom_components

already do it, restart home assistant and searching again in the integration, still didn't find it.

[p2544]

[nzamps]

did you add the version field to manifest.json?

"version": "1.0.0"

[p2544]

did you add the version field to manifest.json?

"version": "1.0.0"

I am not sure just copy the whole folder in your git and follow the instruction, do I need to do any extra modification? where should I do?

[nzamps]

Should work if you copied my manifest.json

it should look like:

{
  "domain": "connector",
  "name": "connector",
  "config_flow": true,
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "documentation": "https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/connector",
  "requirements": [],
  "ssdp": [],
  "zeroconf": [],
  "homekit": {},
  "dependencies": [],
  "codeowners": [
    "@lucas"
  ]
}

[p2544]

this is before modify manifest.json

[nzamps]

yeah so add the line:

"version": "1.0.0",

[p2544]

yes, thanks. it just appear after trying for months. I think you should fix your zip in git download too.

hi, @nzamps I got stuck again, where can I obtain the API key? I am using dooya Bridge DD7002B with RTS motor

[nzamps]

I'm using a Bridge from shadeconnector.com so to get an API Key I emailed:

support@shadeconnector.com

[p2544]

I'm using a Bridge from shadeconnector.com so to get an API Key I emailed:

support@shadeconnector.com

already got the api key, but seem like the integration didn't provide any entities. (see photo)

[nzamps]

Is your Bridge supported by Connector?

[p2544]

yes, I use connect app almost every day for 6 months already with dooya Bridge DD7002B working very well with app

Please click five consecutive times on the about page to get the key

[p2544]

yes, I already got the key and already put in Home assistant's connector integration will show you a vdo then everything would be clearer.

[nzamps]

I use :

arp -an

on the LAN to find the IP (looking up the Bridge Mac address)

[p2544]

[p2544]

here is the vdo link describe my problem

https://youtu.be/fHcLDhBNftQ

[p2544]

FYI, I got 2 server, raspi4 and intel nuc running, both have the same problem cannot see any entities in connector integration, it blank

[p2544]

BTW, connector working with google assistant voice is fine, also operate in the app is normal!

[ConnectorGit]

Please use EVAL TOOL to test whether Hub can be controlled normally https://github.com/ConnectorGit/EvalTool Because HA-Connector uses the UDP protocol, if UDP communication is prohibited in the local area network, it will affect the discovery of the device

[sdavisnz]

same problem, added intergration, but no entities.

[sdavisnz]

[sdavisnz]

would you say this is looking like UDP is working or not working, no read-me for your application.

any port forwarding we need to enable on router?

[ConnectorGit]

Hub use 32100 port to send message，

1. Maybe your router disable the UDP protocol
2. Please reload the application. If the configuration is correct and the hub and application are in the same LAN, the device can be found

[nzamps]

I'm using HA Core core-2021.9.7 and it works for me....I deleted my Integration and re-added it so it can work.

[p2544]

here is the result, I got pi4 and intel nuc running in the same network, I didn't fix any UDP as your advise yet (just leave it a day/ night) . But Pi4 seem too see all the entities. What happen Can you tell me why this is so strange??

[p2544]

ok now I trying to removing the blank integration in Intel NUC and reinstall again, now it work, thank you. so I just want to know that this is not involve in UDP protocol, doesn't it?

[frakki1986]

i've a similar issue.

The integration is working but does not get all my curtains. One is missing (i'm using 7 ERBS25-LE which all get recognized and 1 ERBS15-LE which is missing). Does anybody have the same problem?

Please make sure that ERBS15-LE and ERBS25-LE are under the same hub, because the device list is obtained in the same message, and there will be no missing devices normally.

[p2544]

working well almost 20 days, now all the button are disable, trying to remove integration and reinstall. It come back, got 5 blinds 1 or 2 blinds are working, 3 are dead. please tell me what happen?!

also remove again, reinstall the integration, only 1 blinds and hub are back none for the 4 blinds.

[p2544]

just install 12 set of new motors for blinds, leave connector auto detect for a day, they found only 3 motors out of 12, is there any tip or how to get all 12 motors to my integration?

I already got 5 motors connected to connector and working well, now the new 12 motors only 3 can be detect.

Just to update this, i was sent this from the author today. I had the same issues. The connector integration did not find any devices. I used the Motion blinds integrations (https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/motion_blinds) and it worked perfectly. The setup is the same. Reading the json file seems like this is either copied from that version or they used another file.

Hope it helps

thanks @mconaway2009 I will remove connector and try the new integration "motion blinds" as your advise.

[p2544]

@mconaway2009 just curious, does the app motion blinds need gateway, I only got the connector gateway at this moment.

[mconaway2009]

I have the DD7002B bridge and 13 shades. All showed up. This process was the same, connect the IP and the API key from the about page and they instantly showed up. It does not carry over the names from the app so you have to rename them.

[Tonyelo]

Hi, hope everyone is doing fine.

I am having the same issue with connector. Worked fine for a few days then everything goes disabled. When I re-add the connector integration, nothing is showing up. I tried motion blinds, however I am getting an error message: "Unknown error occurred"

any suggestions?

Thank you!!!

Here is the trace of the error with motion blinds:

Hello Again!. I fixed it! After debugging the python code I noticed that one of my blinds disappeared from my hub. I could not find it in the app. The error with both (connector and motion blinds) was because this orphan device was improperly stored. I managed to get this list of devices using the connector python code.

As you can see one of the devices was shown as \xff which cause the aforementioned trace. I fixed it by resetting the hub and adding everything from scratch.

[p2544]

Do you mean if i reset the connector hub as a factory default and re-add blind one by one, it will work?

Hi, if your problem is that entities are not showing after you add the connector integration or that motion blinds fails when trying to add integration, I think it might work.

In my case I tried to re-add one of my blinds and that broke the hub. That’s why resetting and re-add everything one by one worked.

i think if you don’t have that many blinds is worth the shot. And also I would suggest you use motion blinds it works much better.

[p2544]

unfortunately trying connector still not work, some blinds are ok, but some blinds are disable on up and down. also try motionblinds, the adding is quick but the up direction doesn't work, any idea?

Hi, I just noticed that the same happens on some of my blinds. In my case is happening only on a blind that has position control (percentage open). I have a couple up/stop/down blinds were I don't have the issue.

In my case I use HomeKit integration and it works flawlessly despite that is not working right on home-assistant. I figure it out I'll let you know. Good luck!
