Failure to integrate with broadlink plugins

[useriousbo]

Hi i am currently using your amazing HA bridge, trying to integrate my Broadlink devices into HABridge using the application Broadlink RM Tasker Plugin.

I test out the plugin and I can get Broadlink to send commands out using a browser with this url - http://192:168:3:55:6605/send?deviceMac=***********&codeId=85 and that device will react with a on or off. Plugin working good.

then i tried to create a custom device in HABridge

Name: Bedroom Target: Encapsulated Device Type: Custom Map Type - Please Select\ On URL: http://192:168:3:55:6605/send?deviceMac=**********_&codeId=84 Dim URL: Off URL:http://192:168:3:55:6605/send?deviceMac=**_********&codeId=85 HTTP Headers: Http Verb: Content Type: Content body on: Content body off:

Add device and click Turn On or Turn Off throw this error

Request Error, Please look in your habridge log:error {"type":6. "address":"/lights/1629545413","description":Error on calling url to change device state","parameter":"/lights/1629545413state"}

went into the logs and found these

**2016-08-02 15:36:26,926 [qtp2823272-25] WARNcom.bwssystems.HABridge.hue.HueMulator - Error on calling url to change device state: http://192:168:3:55:6605/send?deviceMac=***********&codeId=84

i have already trial and error for 3 days, unable to get Habridge to send the url out to activate the plug in which will trigger the broadlink. Can you please help me. I am running out of options.

Does the Broadcom link use headers? The browser maybe sending some but the call within the bridge does not unless specified.

[useriousbo]

Actually it's Broadlink.

It's a HA system made in China

Someone made a plugin to connect Broadlink to HABridge

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=us.originally.tasker&hl=en

I tried communicating with the app developer but it hasn't been smooth sailing, I really hop you can help me.

Below is a forward of my email exchanges with the app developer.

Sorry but i'm loosing my patient with you.

I am already being as clear as I can. Let me repeat myself one last time:

1. First thing, make sure the on/off urls actually work by executing them in normal web browser. Copy & Paste the URL into web browser and press Enter. If the error is in JSON format, copy it here, I will tell you what it means. If it's network error (ie, browser cannot reach your minix device), then it's network error. I cannot help you with this, do your own troubleshooting.
2. I saw the error in your HA Bridge logs. These are not errors from my app. These solely belong to HA Bridge. a) HTTP Request may not be null

If the urls don't work, there should be some form of error.

If the error is in json format, copy it here for me to troubleshoot.

If it's network error, then it's network error, make sure your RM, your Minix does not change its IP address. It is recommended to set a static IP for all your Broadlink devices.

Your on/off url looks correct to me, I don't find anything wrong in your photos.

From your earlier email, it looks like you have enabled authentication in my HTTP Bridge. However, I don't think HA Bridge supports any form of authentication. So, disable authentication.

FYI, I'm currently working on a new version of my app that supports Echo directly, no need for a HA Bridge in the middle. ETA about 1 month time.

You missed out :9876 behind the IP address. The documentation is in that URL.

I'm checking with him as well. He is on the micasaverde forums.

[bwssytems]

Also, it seems on which version of the device you have for what API it supports.

Here is another API doc http://rm-bridge.fun2code.de/downloads/RMBridge-APIDocumentation.pdf

[useriousbo]

Hi please take note that there is currently 2 plugins that will link Broadlink devices with HA bridge

1: Broadlink RM Tasker

2: RM Bridge

Rm bridge is a copy of Broadlink RM Tasker

Is there Any problem you see from the email I sent you before this?

So, it seems Torin has replied to you and you have to put in a Basic Authorization header as form that dialogue you have authorization in your bridge turned on. Google how to do that and put it in the header area for the ha-bridge device.

Thanks

Hi as per my last email with him this is his reply

I'll need you to test this by turning on some debug through the Logs tab.

Expand the Logging Configuration Item and then select "show all loggers". scroll down to "com.bwssystems.HABridge.hue.HueMulator" and set the value to DEBUG and then update.

Run your commands and then post the output please.

[bwssytems]

So, is this working?

Also, it seems this is part of a setup that was posted here.... http://iotathome.co/en/voice-control-system/20-voice-control-broadlink-rmpro-amazon-echo.html

Is this your site or something that you used?

[useriousbo]

I have a Broadlink RM pro remote and i am able to control my Samsung TV and my Onkyo Home theater using the HA bridge (Running on my RPI 2) and i use it with Amazon Echo to also send voice commands to turn on and off my TV and also switch my Home theater to turn on radio mode etc. I am using the latest version of the HA Bridge (3.0.0) and all working fine. I did not have to provide any HTTP headers or HTTP verb while adding a device.

example : TV ON URL : http://xxx.xxx.x.xxx:xxxx/send?deviceMac=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx&codeId=8&on=true

TV OFF URL : http://xxx.xxx.x.xxx:xxxx/send?deviceMac=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx&codeId=8&on=false

[useriousbo]

Can u show the page where u setup a custom device in HA Bridge?

This page Ty

Just change the http verb to "Get" will do. Btw i am the owner of www.iotathome.co webpage. You are almost there. Don't give up :)

[tilaksidduram]

@useriousbo Yes just set HTTP Verb to "Get" and that should allow the command to work. If required you can also add the ON and OFF state to the content body fields.
