FPP v8: Plugin Install Error: TP-Link(Kasa)

[patdelaney]

Failed Instalation

[cybercop23]

I think these are fixed with this change... Fix "command not found" bug cause by https://github.com/FalconChristmas/fpp/commit/88b1606d77346fdda9bb4a7562ae147b1fd447a6

I was able to install TPLink on PI02W and Pi5 on latest master8 w/o issues.

[OnlineDynamic]

@computergeek1507 think the issue is the new handling of python enironments in bookworm

see https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/os.html#python-on-raspberry-pi

Think the install script needs to be changed for bookworm to look something like: ` !/bin/bash

BASEDIR=$(dirname $0) cd $BASEDIR cd ..

sudo apt install python3.11-venv

python3 -m venv --system-site-packages env

source env/bin/activate

sudo env/bin/pip install python-kasa

make `

There is then a C++ compile issue which needs resolving by removing the 'const' from line 364 (virtual const std::shared_ptr<httpse) of src/tplinkPlugin.cpp

the callbacks.py file prob needs changing to ref the location of the virtual python3 bin #!env/bin python3

I have made those changes on my local install on a RPI5 running FPP v8 master branch and OS 2024-02 OS. It has installed successfully and is communicating with my test TPLink Kasa plug correctly

Guessing you aren't running latest FPPOS with the master branch..think that might be why you didn't hit the python issue on install

[darylc]

@patdelaney is this still a problem in the latest image & version of master?

As per my previous messages I still get these errors on install on a Pi5 related to python, doesn't look like @computergeek1507 has made any changes to the pluggin yet (I suggested a fix above):

I tied this on FPP8 and the discovery tab is still broken. Do I need to update the Shell command in the php to us the environment as well?

[patdelaney]

I was able to install the plugin on latest v8 master [v8.x-master-306-gfa61f2a6 (master branch)] with no issues. I did the following config: This is a 6 outlet strip. I was able to send e1.31 commands to turn each port on and off.

Display testing does not toggle through the ports. I'm not sure if that is by design, @computergeek1507 what discovery tab?

I just tried to install on latest fpp image:

v8.x-master-311-gf08308a7 (master branch)

and still get this error during install, full install output looks like:

So you installed https://github.com/FalconChristmas/fpp/releases/download/8.0-pre-alpha1/FPP-v8.0-alpha5-Pi.img.zip FPP-v8.0-alpha5-Pi.img.zip then the latest code on top of that?

[patdelaney]

What flavor of Pi

[OnlineDynamic]

Correct on a pi5

[patdelaney]

I tried to install Kasa again on Pi 5. I did see this error during the install, but I'm not sure if it's an issue: `Processing triggers for man-db (2.11.2-2) ...

I believe that it does require a reboot though to work

[darylc]

@patdelaney Shall we log this against the plugin and close it out under fpp?

[computergeek1507]

this is fixed
