Manual configuration instruction? #7

Closed Rheinmetallskorpion closed 2 years ago

Rheinmetallskorpion commented 2 years ago

README says it can be configured using Home Assistant UI. However, neither can it be found on HACS nor the official integration. Manually adding the repo to HACS will not result in successful downloads. Is there any way to manually configure this before the UI becomes available?

Plus, I'm getting a fatal error. I have username and password configured like this according to another repo. 2021-12-04 05:13:50 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant] Error doing job: Task exception was never retrieved Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/helpers/discovery_flow.py", line 74, in _async_process_pending_flows await gather_with_concurrency( File "/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/util/async_.py", line 170, in gather_with_concurrency return await gather( File "/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/util/async_.py", line 168, in sem_task return await task File "/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/data_entry_flow.py", line 197, in async_init flow, result = await task File "/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/data_entry_flow.py", line 224, in _async_init result = await self._async_handle_step(flow, flow.init_step, data, init_done) File "/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/data_entry_flow.py", line 320, in _async_handle_step result: FlowResult = await getattr(flow, method)(user_input) File "/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/components/dlna_dmr/config_flow.py", line 216, in async_step_ssdp if _is_ignored_device(discovery_info): File "/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/components/dlna_dmr/config_flow.py", line 477, in _is_ignored_device manufacturer = discovery_info.get(ssdp.ATTR_UPNP_MANUFACTURER, "").lower() AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'lower'

And I just found the broker won't start after the configuration. Do I need extra programs or files to complete the bridge setup? Thanks!

I would like to try this integration too on my U8QF.

Please verify that your HA broker is connected to your TV. You can use mqttexplorer or other tools. The mqtt setup from the readme reflects my setup. I don't know yours, so please verify that the mqtt brokers are connected correctly.

I don't see a direct connect between this component and the stacktrace you provided. Isn't it more likely the dlna_dmr?

I don't know this model and if it also comes with an mqtt broker. You could scan the TV's ports and see if a broker is running. If so, you could try to adapt the setup for your TV.

I’m pretty sure they’re not connected because after implementing the configuration to the broker on rpi, the broker doesn’t even start. Calling system service to start/stop is also unresponsive. The broker would work normally after reverting the config file.

sehaas commented 2 years ago

Are your CA, cert and key files accessible for the broker? Correct path, correct file permission, ... What does the broker log while starting up? I'm sure there will be an error log.

Rheinmetallskorpion commented 2 years ago

The .key and .pen file are both in /etc/mosquitto, sharing the same directory as mosquitto.conf. It used to have rwx for owner but I have just applied chmod +r to it so it should be readable by anyone. I’ll give it a try and see what happens. Also, since the TV doesn’t connect to Wi-Fi when powered off, will it be any issue if the rpi broker loses the connection to the TV one? Thanks a lot!

Concerning the log, it only appeared when I start HA with this component, so I thought that dlna_dmr was a dependency of this component. But if it's not, I'll retry and see what the latest log will be.

Rheinmetallskorpion commented 2 years ago

After retrying with new permission, the mosquitto broker on rpi can run. The log shows it keeps connecting to hisense but never shows success. The same dlna_dmr error occurs too.

I have scanned the 36669 port on my TV using nmap and it shows it's an open TCP port. I guess my TV does speak mqtt but something must be off.

I'm also not able to find a way to install via UI. Looks awesome, though. Excited to test it out.

  1. It must be Vidaa line model.

  2. It must be able to be controlled by this mobile app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.universal.remote.ms https://apps.apple.com/us/app/remotenow/id1301866548

  3. It could be related to Menu items (but I didn't really find a dependency):

Settings -> Support -> Disclaimer and Privacy -> EULA (?) Settings -> Support -> Disclaimer and Privacy -> Remote Management (?) Settings -> Support -> Remote Control Service (?)

Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Fast Power On (better is disabled, IMHO it is unrelated, but in some cases people say "it must be disabled")

below are unrelated to MQTT but ability to Power On depends on WOL Settings -> Network -> Wake on WLAN (depends on connection type) Settings -> Network -> Wake on LAN (depends on connection type, preferred)

@dustinlocke You can use the Custom Repository button in the top right of the HACS Integrations screen to add this repository.

High level steps

Add repository Make sure Mosquitto Add-on is installed from core add-on store Then install HISense MQQT Bridge Then install HiSense TV integration
