WYZE Sense not working in VirtualBox on Windows 10 #136

Open cortexgaming101 opened 4 years ago

cortexgaming101 commented 4 years ago

When trying to run wyzesense.scan, nothing comes up and throws an error

"Failed to call service wyzesense/scan. Service not found."

Running HASS.IO 0.109.6 with the HACS component 0.0.7. My hub on my computer has an orange light.

Getting this error in the log:

2020-05-18` 17:02:18 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.binary_sensor] Error while setting up wyzesense platform for binary_sensor Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/helpers/entity_platform.py", line 178, in _async_setup_platform await asyncio.wait_for(asyncio.shield(task), SLOW_SETUP_MAX_WAIT) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/asyncio/tasks.py", line 442, in wait_for return fut.result() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/concurrent/futures/thread.py", line 57, in run result = self.fn(*self.args, **self.kwargs) File "/config/custom_components/wyzesense/binary_sensor.py", line 76, in setup_platform _LOGGER.debug("Attempting to open connection to hub at " + config[CONF_DEVICE]) TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "NoneType") to str

Heres my config

You need a blue light on the hub in order for wyzesense.scan to run. Have you checked hidraw for the hub?

You can confirm the hidraw name of the device by running dmesg | grep hidraw to find out what hidraw number the bridge grabbed.

@gterpstra75 Where would I run that command? Is it in HASS.IO? I am using VirtualBox if that effects it.

gterpstra75 commented 4 years ago

No, it is ubuntu or Linex command. What are you running VirtualBox on? I did try running this with VirtualBox running on ubuntu but that didn't solve the problem which I was having so I am running HASS.IO in docker under ubuntu. Did you enable the USB port in VirtualBox to HASS.IO VM machine (https://www.eltima.com/article/virtualbox-usb-passthrough/)?

cortexgaming101 commented 4 years ago

@gterpstra75 I am running it on Windows 10. I've never used docker so I have no idea how I would do that. Is it pretty easy to copy everything over to it? I've heard from other people it has more support for things. I also do have the USB passthrough setup.

gterpstra75 commented 4 years ago

There would be a steep learning curve to switch, so I would recommend trying to get your setup working. It looks like when installed hassio on virtualbox, you installed the Linux version. So you should be able to run dmesg | grep hidraw in hassio window.

From looking at your logs (but I am not expert here), it looks to me that wyzesense isn't finding the hub. Which USB controller did you select (https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch03.html#settings-usb)? I know that I was using USB-3 port with xhci drivers.

cortexgaming101 commented 4 years ago

@gterpstra75 I was using USB-2 and just tried it with USB-3 and no success. Where would I run that command? I've never done this before so sorry if it seems like I'm a major noob. Probably almost a year ago this used to work on VirtualBox and then it stopped working in an update and I didn't need it back then. So I know it works, it's just an issue of getting it to work again.

gterpstra75 commented 4 years ago

refer to https://dummylabs.com/post/2020-01-20-hassio-for-virtualbox/. Try to run the command at the console.

cortexgaming101 commented 4 years ago

So I think I put it in the right spot and it said

Error: unknown command "dmesg" for "ha"

gterpstra75 commented 4 years ago

log into the host machine first (type login). Then at the # type dmesg | grep hidraw

Sorry, I am not running VirtualBox. Hopefully, this will help you figure it out.

It says

hidraw: raw HID events driver (C) Jiri Kosina

Hello! I'm up to this point and I'm showing two devices, one is my mouse and the other I'm assuming is the bridge! It's saying hiddev96,hidraw1 using: device: "/dev/hidraw1/" I can now see at the bottom of my entity list: "wyzesense 77xxXXxx" (which is the MAC address of my pre-paired sensor through the wyae app. I'm new to HA, just trying to get local control of my sensors)

Everything seems to be working great for me! (Win10 VMbox I also do NOT have a blue light, I have NO light (but that's probably because I turned off the bridge status led indicator in Wyze before moving to HA).

I DO know my HA installation (Supervisor) is a newer version than you posted, I'm also running 0.0.8 of wyzesense. Hope any of this helps!
