Broadlink not working since 0.64

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)

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.

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

Shayne_Bergan · April 15, 2018, 10:49am

You guys did see the breaking changes for Broadlink in 0.67?
Added ENTITY_ID_FORMAT import and set entity_id in init (@timmo001 - #13642) (switch.broadlink docs) (breaking change)

matto · April 15, 2018, 11:49am

I’m not sure I understand what a breaking change is.
Do I have to do something to make it work again, or is it a known bug?

sjee · April 15, 2018, 12:25pm

You always need to read the release notes before upgrading. A breaking change means something changed which will break your configuration.

matto · April 15, 2018, 12:44pm

Ok, that’s good to know, thanks
Luckily it’s a switch that I don’t use that much, so I won’t downgrade.

tomerbs · April 24, 2018, 10:16am

Hi,

I had the same issue as you guys, please download the updated version of “broadlink.py” file from Github
That solved the problem for me:
https://github.com/vpnmaster/homeassistant-custom-components

mattlward · April 24, 2018, 8:08pm

Yeah, I really do not understand this either…

IKROWNI · April 29, 2018, 8:11pm

grabbed the file what do i do with it?

tmjpugh · April 29, 2018, 9:39pm

There were several separate issues with broadlink related to HA and also the broadlink library.
https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/14024

For me sp2 stop working after 0.65.5.
It is ok again with 0.68

sparkydave · April 29, 2018, 10:15pm

put it in your custom_components folder:

sebdoan · May 1, 2018, 12:25pm

Hey all, I just upgraded to Hassio 0.68.0 and 0.68.1 and all my Broadlink Switches disappeared.

It seems the breaking change that has occurred is the “switch.broadlink_device” entity names have all changed so they’re no longer the “friendly names”. Have a look for your new broadlink entity IDs and make the relevant changes to your YAML file to make them appear.

NOTE: no need to change any custom components, at least for me!

IKROWNI · May 1, 2018, 6:37pm

im having a problem with my broadlink device connecting to home assistant at all.

Here are the errors i’m getting

2018-05-01 14:31:26 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.switch] Setup of platform broadlink is taking over 10 seconds.

sebdoan · May 2, 2018, 6:39am

Is this the result of an upgrade? What version? Rolled back?

mattie47 · May 3, 2018, 6:00am

I’m having logs with similar issues here: Broadlink SP3 Mini stops working after potentially a few days

tc23 · June 4, 2018, 1:24am

Did you ever get this fixed on .67 or did you upgrade to a working version? I read the breaking change, but I don’t understand what needs to be done to fix it

I receive this error now

What version are you running and what kind of installation?
I’m on hassio with 0.71.0 and everything works fine.

anon35356645 · June 11, 2018, 11:34am

HASSIO on NUC 0.71 (but had the problem also with previous versions of HASS, but forgot to post it here)
