Kohler and Callmebot feature request #1003

Closed Mehrdadg closed 10 months ago

Mehrdadg commented 10 months ago

Simply this project is amazing and it is finally giving me insight to what is going on with my 48KW liquid cooled generac as it has never been reliable since I owned this unit. I am about to replace the generac with a Kohler and wanted to know if this application also supports Kohler units? Additionally, was wondering if there is any plan to add Signal support for Callmebot addon.

Again, many thanks to jgyates and everyone else involved with creating such a great program. regards PS I pay annual fee for generac LTE monitoring which in my view is absolutely useless and waste of money.

Regarding Kohler support, I have some docs for the APM603 controller. I can add support for Kohler however I would need someone with access to the Kohler controller to get a dump of the modbus registers. This thread describes the process. The modbusdump.py program would be used to capture the data from the controller. That data along with the controller modbus registers definitions will allow me to add support for a given controller to the project.

The support for Signal and Facebook is already in the add on. At the time it was written I ran into some initial issues with testing and I opted to wait to test further until someone asked for this feature. At the time I also opted to not include the Signal and Facebook stuff in the web interface setup so the only way to enable it is by editing the file /etc/genmon/gencallmebot.conf directly and then restarting genmon. The details for the conf file are here.

If you want to test Signal, let me know how it goes hopefully I can help troubleshoot any issues if they come up.

Let me know if you have any question.

Mehrdadg commented 10 months ago

Hi- As soon as I get my Kohler installed I will follow the instructions and send a dump of the modbus register - it will probably be around spring time to have warmer weather to change to kohler.

Now on trying the Signal- I modified the /etc/genmon/gencallmebot.conf to the following:

[gencallmebot] notification_type = Signal

I didn't get any Signal messages. I know my Callmebot API, etc is ok as it works for me as I use that in nodered.

Also the Notification Type dropdown box only show the WhatsApp and Telegram options. I would think eventually Signal will show up once this feature is working.

thanks

jgyates commented 10 months ago

Did you send a message from your Signal account to Callmebot to enable messages as described here: https://www.callmebot.com/blog/free-api-signal-send-messages/

Yes, the lack of signal in the drop down was because of the lack of testing for Signal. Once it is validated to working I will enable that option in the web interface.

Mehrdadg commented 10 months ago

Hi- I did follow the instructions as prescribed in the link you sent. the site claims you can use your number but I have never been successful with just a 10 or 11-digit number tied to my signal account. the only way I was able to send messages was to post a message that had the [xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx] key that was sent to my signal app. I think using the https://signal.callmebot.com/signal/send.php?phone=[phone_number]&apikey=[your_apikey]&text=[message] does not work - at least for me:)

what worked was to replace the [phone_number] with [xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx], along with my [apikey]. thanks

jgyates commented 10 months ago

I updated the code to show signal in the UI, I also updated the help text in the phone number field, updated the wiki, and the text in the conf file to reflect this. Thanks!

I am going to close this thread, but when you want to start with Kohler let me know.

Mehrdadg commented 10 months ago

Hi I don't think the signal protocol is working... I just don't get any messages even with the correct API key and Phone #.

The Signal documentation requires the following: https://signal.callmebot.com/signal/send.php?phone=[phone_number]&apikey=[your_apikey]&text=[message]

I can confirm I am using the proper API key and phone_number (xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx format in the API Key and Recipient Number for the fields of CallmeBot add-on.

Additionally, when I can confirm when I use chrome to send the http request.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

jgyates commented 10 months ago

are you seeing any errors in /var/log/gencallmebot.log?

jgyates commented 10 months ago

I checked in an update. I have misspelled the name of a function in the new debug prints. I got it to send however, I am getting this message on the 2nd message:

 Request to callmebot returned an error 503, the response is: <h1>Oops! Too many requests...</h1>
 <p>You have called to the API to often. Please review your script/code/app.</p>

Not sure how often I we can send messages with Signal

jgyates commented 10 months ago

FYI, the messages eventually go thru, they just appear to get delayed for a little bit. Empirically, less than a minute.

jgyates commented 10 months ago

let me know how it goes with you.

Not sure how often I we can send messages with Signal

I never had any limitations when I used the HTTP request directly (e.g. 1x request in every 10-15 seconds). however if I try to send HTTP requests one after the other I get the same message:

Oops! Too many requests... You have called to the API to often. Please review your script/code/app.

jgyates commented 10 months ago

Updating to the latest code from the About page will fix the "Error: 'GenCallMeBot' object has no attribute 'LogDegug' issue. Once I fixed that it works for me with signal.

Mehrdadg commented 10 months ago

it works now! It looks like the app tries to send too many Signal messages and now I am getting the following in the callmebot.log: 2024-01-15 20:44:09,029 : Error in SendNotice: Request to callmebot returned an error 503, the response is:

Oops! Too many requests...

I am going to reduce the interval and I think that will fix the "too many tries" error:) thanks

jgyates commented 10 months ago

It does queue and resends, it just does not wait for x number of seconds between messages. They will eventually go thru because of the queue and retry. I will add a new parameter that will allow for a delay between messages. this will allow operation without the error.

When genmon (and the add on) is restarted you will get about 5 or so messages with the initial state of things. After then the messages only come when there is a change in state of something being monitored.

Mehrdadg commented 10 months ago

Thank you so much for all of your effort!

jgyates commented 9 months ago

I checked in an update that adds a default 5 second delay between messages for callmebot signal. All other messaging (signal, telegram) default to 0 seconds. You can change the default by editing the /etc/genmon/gencallmebot.conf file with this setting:

 minimum_wait_between_messages = 5

I got it to work with the delay as low as 1, but I was restarting the software and 5 messages are sent on startup by default. You may find you can set it lower, but after a few restarts with it at 1 second I got the "too may requests" error again.

If there is not an entry for this setting the default is used.

Also, the same setting can be used for other short message add ons like Pushover, Slack, twillio.

Let me know if you have any questions or issues.
