ControllerX. Bring full functionality to light and media player controllers

koenhendriks · October 5, 2020, 10:16pm

Hi xaviml!

Thanks a lot for the great work on ControllerX. I just hooked up the Symfonisk with my own speaker and it seems to be working great after tweaking the delay and steps a bit.

The only issue i currently run into is that it sometimes misses the brightness_stop event. Because of this the volume keeps going up or down until I rotate the Symfonisk again.

Here is part of my AppDaemon log where you can see it keeps lowering volume for 7 seconds until I rotate it the other way and it goes into the brightness_move_up.

I’m not able to replicate this issue constantly, it just happens every now and then. Its hard to replicate.

Im using the latest ControllerX: v4.0.0b3
This is my apps.yaml:

bedroom_speaker:
  module: controllerx
  class: E1744MediaPlayerController
  controller: sensor.main_volume_action
  integration: z2m
  media_player: media_player.receiver
  delay: 350
  volume_steps: 25

Any idea how to fix this? If you need anymore info please tell me!

@xaviml I just realised that there is a AppDaemon 4 in the add-on store when I was going to reinstall. Should I be running that one instead?

xaviml · October 6, 2020, 9:38am

Yes, indeed. This is why is not working, you should run this app with AppDaemon 4. Recommended steps:

Save your apps.yaml
Uninstall ControllerX
Remove folder appdaemon from /config
Install AppDaemon 4
Install ControllerX
Restore the apps.yaml that you previously saved to the new apps.yaml created by the addon.

Following these steps in order, you should be good to go. Let me know if you find any problems.

Cheers,
Xavi M.

Looks like that did it.

2020-10-06 12:27:26.669086 INFO bedroom_controller: 🎮 ControllerX v3.5.0

Will try it out when I get back home =) Thanks for the support @xaviml

xaviml · October 6, 2020, 7:06pm

Hi @koenhendriks,

Welcome to the community forum

This is a known issue and there is nothing I can do from the code to fix this. This controller (and the same as others) fire 2 events, one when the rotation starts and another when it stops rotating. In other controllers, this works well since there is no rotation, just a holding action. What ControllerX does for you is send periodically requests to HA via call services to update your brightness, volume, etc.

As you said this happens sometimes, and it could be because any of these reasons:

The rotation is too fast and confusing to know if it stopped or not.
The network is overloaded.
The server cannot handle the requests on time.
The controller and the light are far from the coordinator.

However, these are some actions you can take to overcome this problem and reduce the number of times that this happens:

Change the integration to listen MQTT directly, since you use Zigbee2MQTT. Read more about in here.
Play around with delay (default is 350ms) and automatic_steps (default is 10) attributes. You can read more about them in here. The lower the delay is, the more request will be make to HA. The more automatic_steps, the more steps it will take to get from min to max and vice versa.
Add more Zigbee routers to the network.

I have the same controller and I have not encountered this problem in a while by doing these points above. Obviously, if you rotate left and right fast confusing the controller, it might send a rotation start without a rotation stop and cause the problem you are experimenting some times.

Cheers,
Xavi M.

Hi Xavi
This is my first try with both Appdaemon and ControllerX.
I am runing Hasio on a rp4 4+
I have Appdaemon up and runing. Can connect to url
ControllerX installed from Hacs.
My first automation aims to use an Ikea E1744 Media controller to control a Sonos Connect Amp.

Everything shows up in Appdaemon (mediaplayer and controller in the eintities list, the automation in Apps)
Callbacks are also responding to input from the controller.
So everything seems to be done right, but the mediaplayer does not respond to any input from the controller?
I am at a loss and do not have any idea what is wrong
I hope you will be able to guide my.
Kind regards Christian

koenhendriks · October 7, 2020, 8:30am

I was afraid of an answer like this.

Thats just too bad. Thank you for the comprehensive post, it clears up a lot.

koenhendriks · October 7, 2020, 8:32am

Does your media_player.badevaerelset works straight from Homeassist?

Hoekeren · October 7, 2020, 8:37am

Yes - it works flawlessly when i use the HA UI. I also have an automation that turns the mediaplayer on and of in the morning. This runs as expected.

The only problems that I have ever had with the mediaplayer is the one I am having with the integration of Appdaemon an controllerX.

Whether the problem lays with Appdaemon, ControllerX or just the data I have given is not clear to me.

xaviml · October 7, 2020, 10:31am

Hi @Hoekeren,

Could you share the AppDaemon logs in here? The configuration looks good to me.

Cheers,
Xavi M.

Zkaning · October 7, 2020, 7:55pm

Hi,
Is there any way to run a script something like this: ?
What do I do wrong?

tv_bedroom:
  module: controllerx
  class: E1810Controller
  controller: tradfri_remote_1
  integration: deconz
  mapping:
    5002: 
      - service: script.turn_on
        data:
          entity_id: script.tv_on
    4002:
      - service: script.turn_on
        data:
          entity_id: script.tv_off

xaviml · October 7, 2020, 8:17pm

Hi @Zkaning,

If you check the logs from AppDaemon you should see and error like: KeyError: light. This is because E1810Controller is a LightController and is expecting a light attribute. If what you want is just to use those 2 actions and not the rest of the buttons, then you can use just class: Controller.

If this is not the problem, do those script call work when called from Developer Tools? And could you also share the AppDaemon logs?

Cheers,
Xavi M.

Zkaning · October 7, 2020, 8:42pm

Thanks @xaviml, I did get an error: “initialize_error”.
Changed from E1810Controller to Controller and that worked!!

Thanks again for quick response // Fredrik

Hi @Hoekeren,

I see from the logs that everything is initialized correctly. Did you also use the controller after the initialization? I do not see any logs about it. Could you add: log_level: DEBUG before module: controllerx? Then restart AppDaemon, rotate left, rotate right, press the controller and then share the logs again in here. Thanks.

Hi @Hoekeren,

The problem is that those actions are not recognized by ControllerX since it assumes the most updated mapping from that controller. If you want to make it work with ControllerX default mapping, you will need to set legacy: false in the Zigbee2MQTT configuration. Read more in here.

Another tip for you is to use MQTT integration for this controller since you will notice less delay. This is my current configuration for this controller:

livingroom_speakers:
  module: controllerx
  class: E1744MediaPlayerController
  controller: livingroom_mplayer_controller # This is the friendly name
  integration:
    name: z2m
    listen_to: mqtt
  media_player: media_player.livingroom
  volume_steps: 15
  delay: 150

You will also need to change your appdaemon.yaml if you want to use the MQTT integration. Read more about it here.

Cheers,
Xavi M.

Hi @xaviml

I belieave I am almost at the finishing line, but one thng is still not clear to me. (Please note that english is not my first language and working with Homeassistant and coding is new to me)

What is confusing me is where to ad “legazy: false” inthe zigbee2mqtt configuration. This does not seem to be the right plase:

I have made the changes to the controller configuration

and changed the appdaemon.yaml.

The log nolonger shows the info about the signals triggered by the controller, but i asume it is due to the changes i made to regarding the MGTT?

Hi @Hoekeren,

Now you have the configuration for ControllerX and the MQTT correct. The only thing missing is to add legacy: false into the device specific configuration. To do so, you will need to go to a file in: /share/zigbee2mqtt/devices.yaml (assuming you installed it with the addon), there you will see something like:

# ...
'0x14b457fffe71b5a9':
  friendly_name: livingroom_mplayer_controller
# ...

You will need to add into your symfonisk (E1744) controller the following legacy: false like:

# ...
'0x14b457fffe71b5a9':
  friendly_name: livingroom_mplayer_controller
  legacy: false
# ...

Then you will need to restart Zigbee2MQTT addon. With all this, the controller it should work. If not, share the AppDaemon logs again and the Zigbee2MQTT logs when you rotate the controller.

Cheers,
Xavi M.

Great I found it. had to use sambashare as the HA file editor did not give acces to the /share/
But sadly it still does not work for me ?

Kind regards Hoekeren
