Ariela - Home Assistant Android Client

Yes that is correct. Can you share your mqtt config from configuration.yaml ?

lenne0815 · July 30, 2019, 6:22am

As per instructions for the latest mosquitto broker theres none, ive used this before to no avail though:

mqtt:
broker: 192.168.178.79
port: 1883
discovery: true
discovery_prefix: ha
client_id: homeassistant
username: MQTT
password: mypw

Thank you. Change “discovery_prefix” to “homeassistant” or in Ariela change discovery topic to “ha” and should work just fine

lenne0815 · July 30, 2019, 6:26am

Did that already a million times - no change
I really tried everything i could possibly think of.

Could something entirely different hinder discovery ? Like my router or something ? Im feeling like i have exhausted every single option i could possibly find via google

Ionut · July 30, 2019, 6:29am

Please try this.

change the discovery_prefix like i told before
restart Home Assistant
restart Ariela
re-register the mqtt sensors
check in developer tools from HA if new entity appear

Also, you may wanna check the HA logs, the discovered items should appear there too.

I did as instructed and unfortunately nothing changed -

As soon as im trying to add

mqtt

to the config errors start to appear in the logs:

2019-07-30 08:00:40 ERROR (MainThread) [hbmqtt.broker] Broker startup failed: [Errno 98] error while attempting to bind on address (‘0.0.0.0’, 1883): address in use
2019-07-30 08:00:40 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.mqtt.server] Error initializing MQTT server

I dont think one is supposed to add mqtt to the cfgyaml anymore with the latest hassio / mosquitto plugin.

I know this is well out of your scope, so many thanks for helping me anyway ! Your app is awesome !
( I got some small error with the cover entity where i couldnt press all buttons at all times but i switched over to the “web” view which fixed it )

Seems that another mqtt broker instance is running on your system. Could you try a system restart?

lenne0815 · July 30, 2019, 7:01am

I rebooted it just now, again with no change -
Interesting bit is this warning:

Log Details (WARNING)

Tue Jul 30 2019 08:57:48 GMT+0200 (Mitteleuropäische Sommerzeit)

Data in your config entry is going to override your configuration.yaml: {‘broker’: ‘core-mosquitto’, ‘discovery’: True, ‘password’: ‘xxx’, ‘port’: 1883, ‘protocol’: ‘3.1.1’, ‘username’: ‘homeassistant’}

So the latest mosquitto plugin writes its own config which superceeds the cfg.yaml entries i suppose.
With the plugin discovery is enabled with a checkbox when i add it to integrations. It still doesnt work unfortunately.

Ionut · July 30, 2019, 7:09am

With this i cannot help since i do not have enough knowledge about it. Still you can add the mqtt sensors manually in the configuration.yaml

lenne0815 · July 30, 2019, 7:10am

Ill investigate further, it might just be a problem with the latest mosquitto plugin, thanks !

Ionut · July 30, 2019, 7:11am

Ok, please write here the solution if you find one, since it can help other users too. Thank you.

Eeeeeediot · July 31, 2019, 12:13am

Excellent work!

It works great

FuX · August 1, 2019, 1:40pm

due to the new update the app is very slow

Ionut · August 1, 2019, 1:51pm

What do you mean by very slow?

Can a boolean_input be add to be used as a widget? I have several boolean_inputs that I use as indicators and would like to be able to put them as widgets on my wifes phone.

Thanks

Ionut · August 1, 2019, 4:26pm

It can be added but clicking it will have no effect. I will add this to my todo list

FuX · August 1, 2019, 9:52pm

I sent you an email

Ionut · August 2, 2019, 8:41am

On my girlfriend’s Moto G5S sometimes the app gets stuck at the loading screen (after the Ariela logo slides out of view).

I suspect it due to wifi disconnect and reconnect though I am not 100% sure, I already enabled auto reconnection but it doesn’t help.

The only way to get rid of it is force close the app and start it again. Problem is, it’s hard to reproduce, so giving debug logs is difficult at the moment… Any ideas?

Ionut · August 2, 2019, 10:26am

Please try to send the logs, maybe it catches something useful. Thank you.
