Broadlink not working since 0.64

maydaymiao · February 28, 2018, 2:03am

Does anyone know what is the ETA for 0.64.1?

Shayne_Bergan · February 28, 2018, 2:28am

It’s been released just takes a few hours for Hass.io users to get the update… Can be up to 48hours but normally within 24

sramnarayan · February 28, 2018, 6:02am

Not working for me too. Will wait for 0.64.1

I’ve just tried 0.64.1 and still getting issues:

Got it working here…
keep in mind I am on Docker :

docker exec -i -t home-assistant /bin/bash

and then:

pip3 uninstall pycrypto
pip3 uninstall pycryptodome
pip3 install pycryptodome

then I had to edit the MAC adres in the switch.yaml ( here its in secrets.yaml) There I had to remove the ‘:’ in teh macaddress so now the mac address reads : xxxxxxxx instead of xx:xx:xx:xx

talondnb · February 28, 2018, 11:04am

Actually, I managed to get it working with the components I’m using by altering the broadlink==0.5 to become broadlink==0.5.1 as per the component in 0.64.1.

sramnarayan · February 28, 2018, 1:23pm

I am using hassio. How do i upgrade to 0.64.1 or downgrade to 0.63?

Bobby_Nobble · February 28, 2018, 5:13pm

Don’t see anything in the release notes regarding Broadlink?

silvrr · February 28, 2018, 5:17pm

Not ovbious, but its in this pull request, a few layers deep.

Don’t allow to use a old unsecure library (@pvizeli - #12715)

Bobby_Nobble · February 28, 2018, 6:00pm

Thanks, updated and all good.

atomicpapa · March 1, 2018, 6:24am

So, did this fix make it into .64.1?

gbboy · March 1, 2018, 6:31am

Yes, if u have broadlink switches the dependancy has been resolved. Some users are still reporting climate broadlink issues but they need to create an issue on github.

mattlward · March 1, 2018, 3:00pm

My Broadlink Mini 3 is working fine in 64.1

CommonBlob · March 1, 2018, 8:48pm

Yep, mine all good.

atomicpapa · March 1, 2018, 10:00pm

Thanks guys! Upgraded to .64.1 and it is still working. I don’t know what I would have done if I had to press a button to turn on and off the tv now. THE HORROR!!!

dearlk · March 3, 2018, 1:29am

Ha ha ha… That would have been a blast from past!!!

tanabebr · April 3, 2018, 6:06pm

How do I do this? How can I alter the broadlink 0.5 to 0.5.1? I am running Hass as a Docker in QNAP Container Station.

tanabebr · April 3, 2018, 6:31pm

I got it! Just have to edit the config/custom_components/climate/broadlink.py, and change the line “REQUIREMENTS = [‘broadlink==0.5’]”

Hi!
Today I updated to 0.67.0 and my Broadlink SP3 stopped working. This is the error I got:

2018-04-14 16:31:49 ERROR (SyncWorker_4) [homeassistant.util.package] Unable to install package broadlink==0.5.1: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement broadlink==0.5.1 (from versions: 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8)

TypeError: __init__() takes 3 positional arguments but 4 were given
2018-04-14 16:32:27 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.core] Error doing job: Task was destroyed but it is pending!

So I followed @tanabebr’s advice and changed the custom_component to REQUIREMENTS = ['broadlink==0.5'], but then this error raised:

2018-04-14 16:11:52 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.setup] Setup of config is taking over 10 seconds.

2018-04-14 16:12:53 ERROR (SyncWorker_19) [homeassistant.core] Error doing job: Task was destroyed but it is pending!

I also tried changing the line to:

REQUIREMENTS = [
    'https://github.com/balloob/python-broadlink/archive/'
    '3580ff2eaccd267846f14246d6ede6e30671f7c6.zip#broadlink==0.5.1']

And still no luck. It was working before the update!
Any ideas?

I came across similar errors when updating to 0.67 - I downgraded back to 0.66.1

To downgrade, enable the SSH addon, SSH in and run this command:

curl -d '{"version": "0.66.1"}' http://hassio/homeassistant/update
