No json response

[cgorms]

I run mqtt.py it discovers devices but I don't get any json response relating to the state of socket etc

DEBUG Connected to 'BG1' Broadlink device at '192.168.0.1' (MAC 00:00:00:00:00:00) and started listening for commands at MQTT topic having prefix 'broadlink/BG1_00_00_00/' DEBUG Connected to MQTT broker, subscribing to topic broadlink/#

Edited mqtt.conf and changed 'broadlink_bg1_state_json = True' and received this when running mqtt.py

DEBUG Sending BG1 state 'null' to topic 'broadlink/BG1_00_00_00/state'

PIP Package Versions...
 python 2.7
 cryptography 2.6.1

 broadlink 0.12.0

Additionally I've installed git+https://github.com/barnybug/python-broadlink@add_bgelectrical_sockets

Can someone shed some light on my issue?

It's clear that bg1.get_state() returns None And it seems we already discussed such issue, didn't we?

Hi I must apologies, if we have spoke about this previously... I have forgotten what the reason was. Please below my install process, can you tell me where I’ve possibly gone wrong??

RESOLVED

BG1 devices connected to broadlink cloud via BG App worked for serval days and then stopped broadcasting their device state via LAN.

Resetting the sockets with the following sequences:

Pressing the left power button and connecting via ‘Smart Config’ or ‘AP Config’ within the app made no difference to the sockets broadcasting their state etc.

I finally resolved the issue by putting the socket into AP Config mode and pulled down python-broadlink on to a laptop. Connected the laptop to the AP SSID of the socket and run ‘broadlink_cli --joinwifi ’ command to connect the socket to my Wi-fi but not the broadlink cloud.

Sockets started broadcasting on LAN and broadlink-mqtt worked as expected again.

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience!
