ControllerX. Bring full functionality to light and media player controllers

Carlos_Luis · February 25, 2020, 10:06pm

Just blurred a little bit the IDs so @sreknob don’t get mad at me

Carlos_Luis · February 25, 2020, 10:09pm

I have to apps folders:

~/dockerdisco2/volumes/ha-data/appdaemon/apps/ ==> was created because of HACS
~/dockerdisco2/volumes/AppDaemon/conf/apps ==> was created becasue of docker-compose.yaml

The one which contains the apps.yaml file is under the following path:

luiscarlos@luisnuc:~/dockerdisco2/volumes/AppDaemon/conf/apps$ ls
apps.yaml  apps.yaml.example  hello.py  __pycache__
luiscarlos@luisnuc:~/dockerdisco2/volumes/AppDaemon/conf/apps$ pwd
/home/luiscarlos/dockerdisco2/volumes/AppDaemon/conf/apps
luiscarlos@luisnuc:~/dockerdisco2/volumes/AppDaemon/conf/apps$

Thanks again!

xaviml · February 25, 2020, 10:12pm

All AppDaemon apps should go together where apps.yaml is, so the controllerx folder should go in ~/dockerdisco2/volumes/AppDaemon/conf/apps/. I don’t know if there is a way in HACS of changing the AppDaemon path. But if you move the folder there and then restart AppDaemon, it should work.

So you should have the const.py in: ~/dockerdisco2/volumes/AppDaemon/conf/apps/controllerx/const.py

Carlos_Luis · February 25, 2020, 10:25pm

After doing: ~/dockerdisco2/volumes/ha-data/appdaemon/apps$ sudo cp -r controllerx /home/luiscarlos/dockerdisco2/volumes/AppDaemon/conf/apps/

It looks like this:

luiscarlos@luisnuc:~/dockerdisco2/volumes/AppDaemon/conf/apps$ ls
apps.yaml  apps.yaml.example  controllerx  hello.py  __pycache__

I get the following Warnings on my AppDaemon Docker container log:

It’s almost done! thanks a lot @xaviml @sreknob

sreknob · February 25, 2020, 10:47pm

Awesome @Carlos_Luis! So happy you got it up and running, now you can experience the awesome-ness in all it’s glory.

Also, I won’t get mad about those IDs

Don’t worry about the warnings, it’s normal for ControllerX due to the structure of the app.

As far as the file/folder structure for appdaemon, I have my loaded inside my home-assistant configuration directory. I hadn’t payed attention to that before in your configs.

This is what mine looks like:
My docker mount point is '/mnt/user/appdata/home-assistant/appdaemon/':'/conf'
so all my files are where HACS expect them to be with minimal fuss and can update them directly from within HA.

appdaemon.yaml should be in appdaemon folder (/conf directory in the container) and apps.yaml should be in apps inside appdaemon folder as such:

Capture

I would consider changing your docker mount point to
'/home/luiscarlos/dockerdisco2/volumes/ha-data/appdaemon':'/conf'
to avoid trouble…

Carlos_Luis · February 25, 2020, 11:33pm

Thanks a lot! I finally got it ! @sreknob @xaviml
thanks as well for sharing your screenshot. I will change the path tomorrow, today I have not more time available.

Doublet · February 27, 2020, 5:02pm

After the update and restart of AppDaemon, I defined the following:

tvroom:
  module: controllerx
  class: CustomLightController
  controller: sensor.0x000d6ffffe343d9c_action
  integration: z2m
  light: light.0xec1bbdfffe36260f_light

Hi @Doublet

Have you restart the Appdaemon addon/server?

Doublet · February 27, 2020, 5:05pm

yes, I did

xaviml · February 27, 2020, 5:12pm

Are those all the logs you see? Can you show all the logs to see if there is something else we are missing?

I think the problem is that the update has not been properly installed due to: Unable to find class CustomLightController in module controllerx. I believe there is a bug on HACS that when click on “Update” it does not download properly the version. Try to:

Click on “REINSTALL” on HACS for ControllerX
Restart AppDaemon addon/server

Doublet · February 27, 2020, 5:57pm

YES that’s it, now it’s working

xaviml · February 27, 2020, 6:05pm

v2.3.1 is now released

This patch change does not contain breaking changes.

Features

Adding transition attribute to light controllers (#42)

Fixes

Changing the behaviour for Lutron devices. From on to on_full_brightness.

sreknob · February 28, 2020, 4:41pm

@xaviml, @Doublet I’ve also had to reinstall in HACS after most of the beta releases.
Wasn’t sure if it was just me.
Guess it’s time to collect some logs…

htvekov · February 29, 2020, 7:06pm

Same here, guys.

Several times through all the beta’s up to v2.3.0 I had to reinstall several times to actually load new version. Even though HACS indicated that new version actually WAS loaded ??

hainesy · March 2, 2020, 11:53pm

Hi, I’ve just bought a Trust ZYCT-202 controller which I’m playing around with, I’m talking to zigbee with a ZHA+Conbee II setup does the feature release in 2.30 below mean it’s only supported in z2m currently or am I just being thick and that is a config setting?

Cheers

Mark

sreknob · March 3, 2020, 12:16am

@hainesy - correct, it is only supported for zigbee2mqtt currently.

If you can send the zha_events from the button presses, support can easily be added.

To do so, go to developer tools -> events and under listen to events, type in zha_event and hit start listening.

Then post here or gitthub the zha events for the controller. You should get an event for each press of “on”, “up”, “down” “off” and one that happens with every release of any button.

Each remote and the integrations that are currently supported are always listed here on the ControllerX docs.

EDIT: Is this device currently supported on zha? If not, it will need a quirk before it can be supported in ControllerX.

hainesy · March 3, 2020, 10:52am

@sreknob Hey, thanks for replying. I’m brand new to HA so just bought a few bits and pieces to start playing before building out a fuller system - I think I might have jumped the gun a bit on these remotes :-(.

I’ve got it working in homeassistant using ZHA, but it only registers as a generic ‘EndDevice’, it doesn’t have a specific quirk like my Xiaomi sensors do. This means it just recognizes the On & Off button but none of the others. I think i’m a bit stuck as my Conbee II stick doesn’t work with z2m and I’ve had more luck pairing devices with ZHA than with Deconz so don’t really want to move off it again just yet. Oh well…
