Issue with Installation

[reesion]

Hi,

I am running Hass.io on Ubuntu v18.04. I have tried to install this and getting a mixture of issues with nodejs and npm. I finally get it installed with no issue but having issue running it.

Any idea what is happening?

Looks like the bluetooth-hci-socket library was compiled against another node version. Make sure that commands 'node -v' and 'sudo node -v' return the same node version. You can always recompile: go to dir 'x/am43ctrl/node_modules/@abandonware/bluetooth-hci-socket' and run 'x/am43ctrl/node_modules/.bin/node-pre-gyp rebuild'

I recompiled but now getting a different error.

Try reinstalling now with following steps

create a directory in which you install non-globally. cd into newly created directory run npm install https://github.com/binsentsu/am43-ctrl cd into node_modules/.bin run by using: sudo ./am43ctrl … like in readme.

Getting the same error as well.

Mayb try with a more recent version of node? Must say I haven't tested it with node 8. Running it myself with node 12.14.1 on a rpi3

[reesion]

ok that worked. I've installed node v12.16.1.

When i try to setup to connect to mqtt in my HA, it just stuck at scanning for 1 device?

I am fairly new to HA and everything. What am i missing or what shall i do next?

root@rsha01:~# am43ctrl 02:0D:BF:12:8C:53 --url mqtt://192.168.1.142 -u user -p pwd am43* scanning for 1 device(s) [ '020DBF128C53' ] +0ms

[binsentsu]

Use lowercase in your Mac adress parameter

[reesion]

I've just tested and it is still stuck in scanning?

am43* scanning for 1 device(s) [ '020dbf128c53' ] +0ms

I can't see any new device under my MQTT integration Any idea?

[binsentsu]

try running the command with sudo: sudo am43ctrl ... Normally super user is needed to access the ble hardware. Also check that the blind controller is not to far from your ble adapter, as the range of these devices is not that great.

[reesion]

I managed to get the device added and it is now showing under my HA via MQTT. However, the buttons does not work?

[binsentsu]

Is the battery percentage visible? From the device page you should see the different entities.

[reesion]

Yes it is visible and i can see the device. However, it doesn't seem to be responding when i press the buttons?

[binsentsu]

Please check the logging in the console of am43ctrl. It should contain some hints.

Hi. I have got a similar error: Position is undefined((

Here is the MQTT message from the topic homeassistant/cover/02dcbc648c06/state:

{
    "id": "02dcbc648c06",
    "lastconnect": "2020-03-30T17:51:29.965Z",
    "lastaction": null,
    "state": "CLOSED",
    "battery": 92,
    "light": 0,
    "position": 100
} 

Here is my env: nodejs -v 12.16.1

[binsentsu]

Hi, from the screenshot, I can see that position is working. The down button is disabled, so the cover knowns it's closed. The current released version does not implement the set_position_topic, that's why the slider bar is disabled. I implemented this feature last week and it's currently undergoing some testing at my place. If you want, you can already test it. It's available in branch feature-position. With this enabled, you can open/close the blind to x% from the home-assistant GUI or automation.

[T-REX-XP]

Yep. Thanks for the quick support.
