Integration with HA

[bmwm69]

Hello,

how integrate that with HA ?

[sampsyo]

Please see: https://home-assistant.io/developers/development_101/

This repository needs to be cloned into custom_components in your Home Assisrsnt directory. It also needs this Python dependency installed with pip: https://github.com/sampsyo/wideq

[wkd8176]

Hi I installed wideq with pip, and cloned smartthinq.py in custom_components.

How to register my AC in HA?

[sampsyo]

Good question! I added some instructions to the README just now. Let me know if that's not clear.

[bmwm69]

Nice new readme file ! :) For hass.io system some alternative to install wideq ?

[sampsyo]

Sorry, I’m not familiar with hass.io. Maybe there’s some way to specify WideQ as a dependency?

[wkd8176]

Thank you the updated README. I logged in the lgaccount, site said 'Invalid request parameter'

What can i do more? please help

[sampsyo]

Huh! I don’t know what’s wrong, but I do know that some folks on the Ha forum have found that they need to adjust the initial login endpoint to match their country. Taking a look there might reveal some clues.

[wkd8176]

Oh, it was problem of internet browsers. I retried this in iExplorer, it worked.

and I also changed wideq.py little bit.(Because I live in South Korea)

There is another problem. I got a refresh token, and paste it in the configuration.yaml and i got an error like this

[sampsyo]

That traceback is cut off. Can you try pasting again, and this time use Markdown code fences so it's readable?

[wkd8176]

Sorry. I paste it again I'm using HA on docker, synology nas.

Interesting! I can see what’s going wrong (non-UTF-8 data for the JSON response) but I’m not sure what to fix it (i.e., what the right encoding is). Any chance you’d be willing to give me a credential (i.e., an access token) privately so I can investigate further? I promise not to change any settings... :smiley:

[wkd8176]

I sent a mail inside of ‘wideq_state.json’ Please check your mail

[sampsyo]

Thanks!

The problem was that you have other, non-AC devices on your account. I only have AC devices from LG, so I just used all the associated devices and assumed they were AC devices. It turns out that other things (e.g., refrigerators) report their status in a very different way.

Anyway, I've now added some code to WideQ to detect the types of devices. This plugin now uses that to only try to use AC devices. If you update both the WideQ library and this plugin, you should be in business.

Hello,

Steps by step to install in Hass.io

Install Phyton $apk add --no-cache python3 $ git clone https://github.com/sampsyo/wideq.git $ cd wideq $ pip3 install -e . $ cd /config $ mkdir custom_components $ cd custom_components $ git clone https://github.com/sampsyo/hass-smartthinq.git climate $cd /wideq

In my case I modify wideq.py COUNTRY = 'PT' LANGUAGE = 'pt-PT'

The file wideq_state.json apear with refres_token

After config configuration.yaml

climate:

• platform: smartthinq refresh_token: token

I received error :|

The following components and platforms could not be set up: climate.smartthinq

[sampsyo]

Hmm, is there any more detail in the log? That message could mean anything…

[sampsyo]

Strange! I'm not sure what to recommend. It looks like wideq installed correctly, but the Python instance that's running Home Assistant can't find it. I don't know the inner workings of the hass.io image setup, but maybe asking about the issue generically (i.e., dependency installed with pip install -e can't be found when setting up a component) in the HA forums.

[wkd8176]

Thanks the update. I cleared that problem, and has another problem.... :( I have a climate device, nest, is it related this problem?

[sampsyo]

Sorry; I don't recognize this error. Looks like it's inside the HA code. As in the previous case, it might be best to ask on the HA forums or something.

For posterity, you might also consider recording the solution to your previous problem here.

[wkd8176]

Oh, i solved the ‘Invalid entity_id’ issue. My AC had korean name so i changed it english in smartthinq app, the error was cleared.

Could you update the readme.md, include command set?

[sampsyo]

Actually, in the spirit of open-source collaboration, can you please do it? Please open a PR with the changes you want to see and we’ll go from there.

[bmwm69]

After install Raspbian all now works fine ! But with application I increase 1ºc by 1ºc, with HA integration temperature increases with strange values 20.8º , 21.3º , 21.8º ..

[sampsyo]

Hmm, yes, I've currently hard-coded the plugin to use Fahrenheit, so you're probably seeing rounding errors. This is the relevant line: https://github.com/sampsyo/hass-smartthinq/blob/c5541db7957d5030e8b525e87113d71564bcdd08/smartthinq.py#L43

If you change that to False, you should get Celsius. I should figure out how to make that a configurable option…

[Pharizna]

@bmwm69 (@sampsyo)

I have the same problem as you ... but I'm using Raspbian and not Hass.io

"2018-04-03 21:35:30 ERROR (SyncWorker_2) [homeassistant.util.package] Unable to install package wideq: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement wideq (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for wideq 2018-04-03 21:35:30 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.requirements] Not initializing climate.smartthinq because could not install requirement wideq 2018-04-03 21:35:30 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.setup] Unable to prepare setup for platform climate.smartthinq: Could not install all requirements."

How did you solve your problem? Installing and using Raspbian instead Hass.io?

Have you installed wideq in the root folder?

[Pharizna]

Help, please :)

[sampsyo]

Hi, @Pharizna—posting updates like this, or the one in https://github.com/sampsyo/hass-smartthinq/issues/6#issuecomment-402801885, is not helpful. We (the community) have already weighed in and helped however we could—we didn't just forget about the thread. Please try asking elsewhere and updating here if you learn anything useful.

[Pharizna]

Sorry :(

[Pharizna]

Solved :)

$ sudo su -s /bin/bash homeassistant $ source /srv/homeassistant/bin/activate

$ git clone https://github.com/sampsyo/wideq.git $ cd wideq $ pip3 install -e .

((wideq folder owner has to be homeassistant, of course))

[ctih]

https://github.com/sampsyo/hass-smartthinq/issues/1#issuecomment-403733310 Is this done using Hass.io?

[SylvainGa]

Hi, first post of 2020 :-)

On hass.io V0.105, when I run "pip3 install -e ." from /root/wideq

I get: ERROR: File "setup.py" not found. Directory cannot be installed in editable mode: /root/wideq (A "pyproject.toml" file was found, but editable mode currently requires a setup.py based build.) WARNING: You are using pip version 19.2.3, however version 19.3.1 is available. You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

Running pip install --upgrade pip returns -bash: pip: command not found

Man hass.io can be a pain sometimes...

Hello, sorry for the writing I use the translator. I am new and I am trying to integrate two lg air conditioners but I have the following problem: root @ SYNOLOGY: /volume1/hassio/hass.io/homeassistant/custom_components/smartthinq/wideq-master# python3 example.py -l es -c es-ES File “example.py”, line 233 help = f’one of: {"," .join (EXAMPLE_COMMANDS)} ') ^
