How exactly do I install / run IrpTransmogrifier ?

[nodecentral]

Hi,

Being new to linux, I’m embarrassed to say I don’t understand the installation instructions, by any chance do you have a step by step (idiots guide)?

Also I’m ideally looking to use/run IrpTransmogrifier on an off the shelf Home Automation, running on linux, which I have command line access to. Do you foresee any issues with that ?

[bengtmartensson]

Installation of IrpTransmogrifier is covered here. Note that it may be quicker just to install IrScrutinizer; that will install a command irptransmogrifier too.

Also I’m ideally looking to use/run IrpTransmogrifier on an off the shelf Home Automation, running on linux, which I have command line access to. Do you foresee any issues with that ?

I am not sure what answer you expect. You might like to have a look at JGirs, but that is not really polished.

Hi, thanks for the response.

I’m trying to install this on a (MiOS) Vera Home Automation controller.

Here’s what I’ve been able to achieve so far.

`root@MiOS_5247999:/tmp/verair#` curl -H “Authorization: token $GITHUB_MASTER” -L ```

Do I need things like Java installed if I’m just looking to run it from the command line ?

[bengtmartensson]

Such "creativity"... Why don't you follow the instructions, as linked in my previous message?

Hi, sorry - I thought I was , the instructions said to run the irptransmogrifier.sh, which I did ? And I get this ?

`root@MiOS_5247999:/tmp/verair/IrpTransmogrifier-master# ./irptransmogrifiergrifier
./irptransmogrifier: line 5: xpath: not found
./irptransmogrifier: exec: line 11: java: not found `

Also, my ‘creativity’ is just pulling bit and pieces together from google searches 🤪🤣

I’m ultimately trying to keep the install/configuration requirements on the Vera HA Controller to be a low/little as possible so not to break anything..

[bengtmartensson]

This file is the one you should download and unzip. (Sorry, the link in the doc was incorrect.) I assume you know how to download and unzip.

the instructions said to run the irptransmogrifier.sh, which I did ?

No, you didn't. Read carefully.

Ok, so sorry, I thought i did, what did I run then ?

Using the files you shared in the new link, I still end up with the same Java not found error - now admittedly the linked instructions do say "The program presently requires Java 8 JRE or later to run". but considering the constraints i have with the install location - I was hoping there was a possible workaround to avoid installing anything more ?

I’m guessing not ?

A Java program requires a Java virtual machine (JVM, "Java runtime environment") to run.

There may, or may not, be a minimalistic "headless Java" available for your platform, which may suffice.

[nodecentral]

I’ve been looking around, and JsmVM is maybe a possibility -> https://github.com/xranby/jamvm

Are you aware of that one, maybe even used it before ?

FYI - I’m trying to see if I can get IrpTransmogrifier running on the VeraPlus - the specification of which is listed here -> http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/Comparison_of_Vera_units

For a home automation server, it may be a better idea to use per-rendered signals instead of invoking rendering. After all, you probably have at most a few hundred signals.

Installing Java is an off-topic issue here.

Ok to close?

[nodecentral]

Hi,

It would be awesome to avoid the overhead of IrpTransmogrifier on this device, but how best can I extract all the ‘power’ signals in a pre-rendered state for Pronto.

The irbank api does not seem to support retrieving pre-rendered , and I’d need to retrieve them in e.g in a table, so I could systematically work through them and record success or not ?

Let me suggest that you write a script, in Lua or another script language, that generates a CSV file, one line per signal, containing the name (that you want to refer to the signal by), its protoco, and the D, S, and F parameters. Then you import that file in IrScrutinizer (which is basically IrpTransmogrifier with a GUI), and export it in a format you like, Pronto or anything else that your sender can handle.

[nodecentral]

Hi,

Thanks, I’ve got irscrutiniser up and running on a Windows PC (vm), but I’m not 100%sure of the best export settings. Is it.

Set up - IMPORT Tab .. Select - Import text/csv Select - Paramitized tab Enter - ‘all_ir_power_codes_raw.csv’ file via File/URL Select - Import all/param option

~ The .csv file contents are = Power_7.7csv,NECx2,7,7,2 ~ I’ve included the file name to help me trace back to the source.

Set up - EXPORT tab Select - Export format = ????? Select - Pronto HEX

What is the best format for my needs?

I guess in an ideal state it would be to create a simple Lua table / array or maybe a json file, that could be worked through in order. Actually is there the ability to create a custom output? Maybe a templated format, as in the end I’ll need to get each convert code placed in a Lua command format like this...

luup.call_action('urn:a-lurker-com:serviceId:IrTransmitter1', 'SendProntoCode', {ProntoCode = '0000 006d 0022 0003 00a9 00a8 0015 003f 0015 003f 0015 003f 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 003f 0015 003f 0015 003f 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 003f 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 003f 0015 003f 0015 003f 0015 003f 0015 003f 0015 003f 0015 0702 00a9 00a8 0015 0015 0015 0e6e'},irdevid)

Set up - SCRUTINISE REMOTE tab Enter - ‘all_ir_power_codes_conveted’ file via File/URL Select - Export

[bengtmartensson]

Since the original problem, as stated in the title, has been solved, I am closing this issue. Open a new issue on IrScrutinizer if necessary.
