Broadlink S3 hub support

mnayef95 · May 14, 2022, 5:39am

Just add something like this:

broadlink_s3_hub:
  module: broadlink_s3_hub
  class: BroadlinkS3Hub
  hub_ip: "192.168.1.209"
  did: "00000000000000000000a043b0d059ac"
  scan_interval: 0.5
  friendly_names:
    - Gang 1 name
    - Gang 2 name
    - Gang 3 name
  entity_ids:
    - light.gang_1
    - light.gang_2
    - light.gang_3

thanks, that’s created the 3 switches successfully!

I’m very untechnical but it seems to get stuck in a loop when I switch one light off.

The switching on/off of each gang works but then the polling gets confused if all 3 gangs aren’t the same state. For example if one gang is off and the other 2 are on, then the fact there is only a single Device ID in Broadlink seems to cause an issue because it polls each gang and gets “ON…ON…OFF…ON…ON…OFF” and so the Entity in HA toggles on/off in a loop. Logs below.

Could it be because I’d previously created an Input Boolean linked to one of the gangs?

Don’t worry if this is unfixable, I’ll see if I can do something with automations around looking for the service calls.

I don’t have 2+ gangs switch to test the code, but I made a change on the code that should fix the issue, could you test and let me know if it worked or not?

You can update it by HACS by going to:

HACS dashboard
Automations
BroadLink s3 hub
Click on the right bottom 3 vertical dots
Click on update information
Wait a few seconds and an updated button will be shown
Click on the update button and click on the update button in the dialog
Wait for the update to finish and try again with the switches

broadlink_s3_hub:
module: broadlink_s3_hub
class: BroadlinkS3Hub
hub_ip: “192.168.1.13”
did: “00000000000000000000a078b00214re”
scan_interval: 0.5
friendly_names:
- Gang1name
- Gang2name
- Gang3name
- Gang4name
entity_ids:
- light.gang_1
- light.gang_2
- light.gang_3
- light.gang_4

above is my config yet I get an app Daemon compile error, no entities are created neither.
using the 4 gang switch, any help will be appreciated.

I only implemented the hub for a three gang switch; I didn’t realise it four gangs existed can you link your switch here please

stevendodd · May 14, 2022, 9:01am

If you can handle updating python hub.py set_state method is all that needs to be updated

    def set_state(
        self,
        did: str = None,
        pwr1: bool = None,
        pwr2: bool = None,
        pwr3: bool = None,
        pwr4: bool = None,
    ) -> dict:
        """Set the power state of the device."""
        state = {}
        if did is not None:
            state["did"] = did
        if pwr1 is not None:
            state["pwr1"] = int(bool(pwr1))
        if pwr2 is not None:
            state["pwr2"] = int(bool(pwr2))
        if pwr3 is not None:
            state["pwr3"] = int(bool(pwr3))
        if pwr4 is not None:
            state["pwr4"] = int(bool(pwr4))

        packet = self._encode(2, state)
        response = self.send_packet(0x6A, packet)
        e.check_error(response[0x22:0x24])
        return self._decode(response)

that is the device I’m using

Sc0tn0va · May 14, 2022, 9:33am

Amazing that has fixed it. So great to have this in HA, what a great community. Thank you!

stevendodd · May 14, 2022, 9:59am

That is unfortunately a button and not a switch; it’s not supported by my code and does not have any state. There was quite a bit of discussion about trying to support a button here Add Support for S3 Hub 0xa59c · Issue #647 · mjg59/python-broadlink · GitHub however due to the way works you are better off setting up a routine in the broad link app to capture button presses.

Okay, I’ve activated AppDaemon - it’s working fine
I’ve copied the broadlink folder to \config\appdaemon\apps (latest version)
I’ve copied broadlink_s3_hub.py to \config\appdaemon\apps (latest version)
I’ve modified apps.yaml (I’ve got a 3-gang broadlink switch) in this folder to:

broadlink_s3_hub:
  module: broadlink_s3_hub
  class: BroadlinkS3Hub
  hub_ip: "192.168.68.106"
  did: "00000000000000000000a043b0d08cc1"
  scan_interval: 0.5
  friendly_names:
    - Gang 1 BigLight
    - Gang 2 Lamps
    - Gang 3 TVLights
  entity_ids:
    - light.gang1
    - light.gang2
    - light.gang3

I’ve restarted AppDaemon, and checked the WebUI, and under the State tab BroadlinkS3Hub has an initialize_error. AppDaemon log is as follows:

Any ideas what I’ve managed to do wrong? I’ve triple-checked the hub IP and DID, they are correct.

EDIT: D’oh! The hub was locked in the Broadlink app, it’s now working! Thanks to all who developed this, great work!

In my case. I’m getting an error starting the module. I can say my hub is categorically UNLOCKED in the Broadlink app. Here is my log output:

Please add a subfolder with the name broadlink inside broadlink-s3-hub-app-daemon and copy everything inside broadlink-s3-hub-app-daemon to the broadlink folder and keep only broadlink_s3_hub.py outside that folder and then restart home assistant.

I did that. Sadly getting a new and improved error.

Ok. Eventually managed to find the issues. Played around with the DID (which is effectively the device MAC address with a heap of zeros in front). I know there is a link to further up in this thread when this thing was still running in a docker container. I didn’t see explictly which device it should be.
So first up, I had the folder location issue. This is what works for me:
\homeassistant.local\config\appdaemon\apps\broadlink-s3-hub-app-daemon\broadlink ← this where all the py files should be located from alarm.py to switch.py
The broadlink_s3_hub.py should be a level up located in:
\homeassistant.local\config\appdaemon\apps\broadlink-s3-hub-app-daemon
Thanks @mnayef95 for clarrifying this, and obviously the hard work releasing this.
Then in your apps.yaml you should use the IP for your s3 hub and IMPORTANT the DID for your TC3 switch (in my case Office Wall Switch), NOT the DID for your S3 Hub (at least this is the way it is for me).
I now have the interesting challenge of adding another two switches (another 2 gang and a 3 gang).

mnayef95 · May 20, 2022, 11:18am

Thank you for the clarifications, regarding the DID yes it should be the DID for the switch, not the hub, and to get it just use the docker container shared by @stevendodd.

To be able to add multiple switches just duplicate the same config in the apps.yaml file and change the DID, something like this:

---
balcony:
  module: broadlink_s3_hub
  class: BroadlinkS3Hub
  hub_ip: "192.168.1.200"
  did: "00000000000000000000000000000001"
  scan_interval: 1
  friendly_names:
    - Balcony Light
  entity_ids:
    - light.balcony_light

bathroom:
  module: broadlink_s3_hub
  class: BroadlinkS3Hub
  hub_ip: "192.168.1.200"
  did: "00000000000000000000000000000002"
  scan_interval: 1
  friendly_names:
    - Shower Light
    - Toilet Light
  entity_ids:
    - light.shower
    - light.toilet

fulton.m · May 21, 2022, 5:23pm

Thanks one observation I have. When I use the actual wall switch HA does not seem to get it’s status back. If you toggle the entity switch in HA it’s fine, however if you press the button on the wall it doesn’t update so if you turned it off at the switch HA thinks it’s on. I have a use case where I want to trigger an automation based by pressing the wall switch. Given I can’t poll it of status seemingly I can’t do this. In intend to do this in Node Red.
Any help greatly appreciated.

stevendodd · May 21, 2022, 6:52pm

It works in the docker image implementation

fulton.m · May 21, 2022, 6:57pm

Ok. So I set scan_interval from 1 to 0.5 and restarted and this seemed to help, but soon stopped working. I restarted the AppDaemon plugin again and it seems stable since. Will keep an eye on it.

fulton.m · May 26, 2022, 2:29pm

So for me. I’m seeing this stop updating from the wallswitch itself about every 24 hours or so. I have the switch on a dashboard and if I press it on the wall it doesn’t update in Lovelace UI. I also am using a NodeRed EventState node for this entity to trigger an automation. This unsurprisingly stops as well.
