Error when trying to configure my projector #12

Closed Shiftane closed 9 months ago

Shiftane commented 9 months ago

Hello, When trying to install my projector, I got this error. I use a usb-serial converter pl2303.

Core 2023.12.3 Supervisor 2023.11.6 Operating System 11.2 Interface utilisateur 20231208.2

First time I report a bug, let me know what you need.

Cheers

What's your projector model?

Hi, It's also my first time reporting a bug. I have the same model (W1070) and almost the same error as @Shiftane, so I thought I'd chime in as well. Thank you.

Could you both try to connect over serial to the projector using a terminal program and enter the following command:

*modelname=?#

And let me know the results?

wasspoca commented 9 months ago

With minicom, I get this (I also tried *pow=?# to test if the projector was answering correctly):

Little update, I sent the *pow=on# command to first turn on the projector. Now I can get the model name but I have a different error when trying to add the integration.

Shiftane commented 9 months ago

On my side, I've connected my raspberry pi3 with home assistant os and install minicom in terminal app directly on the web. After configuring minicom with 9600 (changed on my videoprojector) and 8N1, I run minicom and still OFFLINE on my side. My USB-Serial converter use a ship Prolific pl2303. Any idea ?

rrooggiieerr commented 9 months ago

Thanks for your feedback, I'm actually not very sure if the projector needs to be on when adding. I didn't add anything about it in the documentation and have to check the behaviour of my own projector to find out.

I notice the modelname has a forward slash in it, it could be that this is also not supported yet, and that's why it fails. Again `i have to check te source code.

I wil look into this further over the holidays, so please be patient

rrooggiieerr commented 9 months ago

@Shiftane, try to connect from your regular PC

wasspoca commented 9 months ago

I wil look into this further over the holidays, so please be patient

Thanks a lot!

rrooggiieerr commented 9 months ago

Just a quick update: My own projector als returns it's model name when off, so that's why nothing specific is is mentioned in the installation instructions. Apparently in case of your model of projector it needs to be on to be detected. I need to update the integration to handle this behaviour.

rrooggiieerr commented 9 months ago

I have released a new version of the integration. It doesn't directly include fixes for your problems, but contains changes that I had been working on in the past. Nevertheless I'm curious to know if it makes any difference in your situation, let me know.

wasspoca commented 9 months ago

I've updated the integration to the 0.0.10 version, the installation is now showing the success message prompt but when I check the device it says the configuration has failed.

I tried several times to remove then add again the integration and I always have those two errors at the same exact time:

The projector is on, not in standby? What happens when you reload the integration? Or restart HA?

wasspoca commented 9 months ago

Projector is on. I've restarted HA then reloaded the integration. After the restart and after the reload as well I got this error (same as before but without the other error):

Can you connect to your projector using a serial terminal program and get a prompt >?

wasspoca commented 9 months ago

Is minicom okay? If so, yes I can connect and I see the > prompt, it's what I used previously to send commands like *pow=on# and *modelname=?*#. If not, do you have a recommandation for a serial terminal program I can use via ssh on home assistant?

rrooggiieerr commented 9 months ago

O, yes, you did that before too.

Maybe you can try using the benqprojector CLI and see it that's able to make a connection

rrooggiieerr commented 9 months ago

Well, that makes all the difference. Maybe the integration also works when the projector is turned on?

wasspoca commented 9 months ago

Yes you're right, the integration also works! Thanks a lot :)

There's still an issue, I turned off the projector via the integration (it worked) but now it's been 5 minutes and it's shown as unavailable ("indisponible" in french) and I can't turn it back on via the integration.

I'll test it more after sleep as it's almost 1AM here.

wasspoca commented 9 months ago

It took half an hour for the integration to see the projector after turning it off but it worked! (See screenshot below)

Thank you so much @rrooggiieerr for this integration and for looking at this issue, and happy holidays!

@Shiftane , version 0.0.10 worked perfectly for me, with the projector turned on during the installation.

If you need to change your cable, here's the one I use (same setup with ssh on ha and a MacBook), I've had it for two years now and it works well and it's not expensive: https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B00VBODA0G/

@wasspoca good to hear it works for you! And also thank you for your donation to support my work :-) Still I'd like to get a bit better understanding what's going on and under which conditions your projector is detected and when not. So I've got some things I like you to try...

It's really looks like I don't have a good connection between devices. My adapter is similar to the one you use. The chip is detected as Prolific. But if i disconnect the cable from projector, I have the same result. I have a usb - serie femal and an adapter femal-femal same as the Amazon option you send me. So could be the adapter cable or the adapter femal-femal. Any other idea ?

rrooggiieerr commented 9 months ago

@Shiftane there are two kinds of serial cables, regular and nullmodem or cross cable. For the null modem/cross cable the RX and TX wires are crossed. So it could be that you use the wrong kind of cable.

I think you first manage to get a working connection using minicom and the benqprojector library. Only if you've got that working move on to the HA integration

Additionally, when I restart HA, the integration is again unavailable, and I have to wait at least half an hour to have a successful reload. In the logs, I have a similar error involving benqprojector.benqprojector.BlockedItemError: ('modelname', '?').

I have this one : https://www.amazon.fr/Goobay-95435-Convertisseur-Transparent-Longueur/dp/B00606ZYPY Looks good no ? Maybe only compatible with microsoft, that's my problem ?

@wasspoca, I have just released a new version of the benqprojector library (not the HA integration yet!). I think it covers more edge cases and now should at least let you power on the device when shutdown. Could you retry previous tests with the new version?

To upgrade the library to the latest version: pip3 install --upgrade benqprojector

If sucesfull I'll upgrade the HA integration acordingly

@Shiftane, if you can't get a connection with your projector it's most probably the cable, I'm sorry

It worked perfectly, when turned off I can now get my projector status with python3 -m benqprojector serial /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 status and turn it on with python3 -m benqprojector serial /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 on.

Hello, fisrt happy new year. I've receive my new cable, and it's finally work fine. Will go deeper in your plugin now. I have added the turn on and turn off action to my script when home cinema start and stop, I've used the command raw for switch on and off. We try more those next day. Thanks a lot for all.
