Wireless Socket, Type: EVENT

[Crash123Crash123]

Hi, is it possible to include type EVENT:

{XC_SUC}[{"type":"EVENT","adr":"FF","state":"0"}]

It is a Wireless socket with 433mhz

[andyboeh]

I've never seen that (I do not have 433MHz sockets), is this was the Mediola sends via UDP? Did you get the from mediola2mqtt's log file? We can come up with a solution if that's the case.

This is what I get from Mediola via ip (http://192.168.18x.xxx/command?XC_FNC=GetStates). I wasn´t able to start your script on ubuntu. So I just installed HASS on a PI. But I have to learn and install MQTT first on HASS.

If I want to start in Ubuntu I get this:

root@Mediola:~/addon# python3 -u ./mediola2mqtt.py Running in local mode Exception in thread Thread-1: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.9/threading.py", line 973, in _bootstrap_inner self.run() File "/usr/lib/python3.9/threading.py", line 910, in run self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/paho/mqtt/client.py", line 3591, in _thread_main self.loop_forever(retry_first_connection=True) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/paho/mqtt/client.py", line 1756, in loop_forever rc = self._loop(timeout) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/paho/mqtt/client.py", line 1164, in _loop rc = self.loop_read() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/paho/mqtt/client.py", line 1556, in loop_read rc = self._packet_read() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/paho/mqtt/client.py", line 2439, in _packet_read rc = self._packet_handle() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/paho/mqtt/client.py", line 3039, in _packet_handle return self._handle_connack() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/paho/mqtt/client.py", line 3138, in _handle_connack on_connect( File "/root/addon/./mediola2mqtt.py", line 46, in on_connect setup_discovery() File "/root/addon/./mediola2mqtt.py", line 130, in setup_discovery mediolaid = config['buttons'][ii]['mediola'] KeyError: 'mediola'

I first had to install paho-mqtt and request because this was missing in ubuntu.

Then we don't know yet if we need to change something in the script. If you manage to run it, we need the UDP packet that's sent from the Mediola. You can find it in mediola2mqtt's log file if it can't be handled as-is - you might have to set debug to true in the configuration file.

The error that you're getting is a configuration problem and actually a problem with the provided example file. I just pushed an updated example file, changes are only in section buttons (the key mediola was missing for both buttons).

Never run scripts as root unless absolutely necessary! For system-wide installations, the Arch package script creates a user mediola2mqtt and a group mediola2mqtt, the systemd init script switches to this account during launch.

I changed the yaml and now get this:

This is just a test installation. When it runs of course I don´t use root and destroy this container.

[andyboeh]

Did you change your file? If yes, you used tab instead of spaces!

[Crash123Crash123]

So I changed the yaml to sniff only (no buttons and blinds) and it starts. When i push the button i got this:

root@Mediola:~/addon# python3 -u ./mediola2mqtt.py Running in local mode Debugging messages enabled Sending CONNECT (u0, p0, wr0, wq0, wf0, c1, k60) client_id=b'' Received CONNACK (1, 0) Received message: b'{XC_EVT}{"type":"EL","data":"141151"}' Sending PUBLISH (d0, q0, r0, m1), 'b'mediola'', ...

If I insert your button topic and change Type from IT to EL and adr from 3d5e00 to 141151 like above I get this:

[andyboeh]

Try setting adr to "141151" (in quotes) so that it is forced to String - that's a limitation of the YAML parser.

[andyboeh]

I had a look at the code again: The data packet that I receive for IT buttons is two bytes longer and contains the state. Yours is only 6 bytes, so it might work if you set adr to "1411"

[Crash123Crash123]

Thank you very much. It is solved. With adr "1411" I get the status 51 for on and 54 for off. Now I am trying to publish.

[andyboeh]

Perfect, that's exactly how it's supposed to be! If you configure the button, the button gets its own topic. For Home Assistant, it then triggers automatically an event without any configuration on the Home Assistant side.

[Crash123Crash123]

So I tried to switch to HASS but I struggle within the button. If i use an ubuntu container I get it working, but don´t get the button entity: but how can I use the button? There is no entity to use:

When I include the same in HASS OS I can´t save the yaml:

[andyboeh]

Buttons do not create entities in HA. You can use the evens in automations and that should work, since your screenshot shows the reception of a "button_short_press" event. Please have a look at the HA documentation on how to configure it.

Seems like the add-on configuration does not support buttons. Since I do not use the add-on, I rarely test in add-on mode.

[Crash123Crash123]

OK. Thank you a lot for your help.
