dmaker.fan.p18 support (Mi Smart Standing Fan 2) #2

Closed fk-online closed 2 years ago

fk-online commented 2 years ago

Hello!

First of all i would like to thank you for this great node expansion!

I would request to support the device dmaker.fan.p18 I hope that this device is compatible.

Many thanks in advance and best regards, fk-online

Hello and thank you for your interest!

I added 6 fans in the latest 0.5.5 including dmaker.fan.p18 that you requested. Please see 3) Heaters, Fans & Toilet section in DEVICES.md for details.

To use it please go through the readme instructions, don't forget to copy-paste defFile for your fan and reboot NR after that.

When testing first of all try get-node to make sure that everything OK with connection to the device and all properties returns data correctly. After that try commands one by one.

Your feedback after the test is appreciated. If there are some issues during test don't hesitate to write about them here. Together we will update defFile for your device if needed.

Regards

Hello and thank you for the really quick response!

I have integrated the device as described (previously worked perfectly with viomi.vacuum.v7 and continues to work after the update / re-installation).

Unfortunately, I get an error message when Auto-Polling and also when sending commands (the same error): Config

My testing flow looks like this: Flow

I have also tested the configuration with Cloud Auth, unfortunately without success.

The app connection to the device works perfectly.

Thank you for your time, best regards!

Well, it has not become as easy as I expected initially :) Comparing with viomi.vacuum.v7 (which is miio-device) it could be more complicated because dmaker.fan.p18 is miot cloud device.

What I see here is that you do not have right connection with the device on initialisation (msg.payload from get-node is empty). So it is no sense to try any commands, or to switch on auto-polling option.

First step is to establish that connection on init. The indicator that will show that this connection was successfully established is getting JSON with device properties and values in msg.payload from get-node. To reach that we need to work a bit with defFile.

What I propose is to go Telegram to make our communication more prompt. You can find me there as @stason_bims In Telegram I can share updated defFiles with you faster.

Is there already a solution? I would also like to use my dmaker.fan.p18.

Hello, we found out with fk-online that he gets some issues with connection and feedback from his device due to firewall.

Please try defFile in current version 0.5.5 and come back here with pictures of debug of msg.payload from GET-node. It seems to me that it could work properly. If not I have some ideas how to fix things and I will update it in next 0.5.6 version of nodes.

I first tried it with NodeRed in a Docker container. Then to be on the safe side directly in a separate VM. But I get the same error with both. I've also tried it with and without cloud login. image

Did you get any initial data in debug from GET-node after deploying? I see it only from SEND-node

fk-online and drdigital-ips,

I updated the nodes. Latest version 0.5.6 includes an updated defFile for dmaker.fan.p18 that was fully tested with drdigital-ips and seems to work perfect.

Could we close the issue?

Regards.

drdigital-ips commented 2 years ago

For me it works perfect. Many Thanks for that great work!!!

fk-online commented 2 years ago

I can control the devices but i don't get any feedback from them - but that's because of my network and not caused by your NR extension. Thank you very much for the great support! Best regards

I get the error "Model dmaker.fan.p18 is not supported". The node MIIOgetdata sends no messages and after sending a message to the node MIIOsencommand the state under the node is permanent "Connecting...".
