ControllerX. Bring full functionality to light and media player controllers

I can see the dimming function inside z2m

deadphill · February 28, 2023, 10:53am

@xaviml any ideas on the above? thanks

sebpro · February 28, 2023, 10:45pm

Totally new to ControllerX and AppDaemon here…
The user and password that need to go into appdaemon.yaml, I don’t know what user this is supposed to be. I’ve checked my mqtt broker and I havent created any specific users and inly rely on the HA users. Do I have to create a new user (here), and are there any unforseen consequences of doing this?

Hi @xaviml ,
I finally found some time to test this. Unfortunately the default mapping is not working. Only the “on” and “off” is working.
When i hold the buttom down i see the event in de AppDeamon log but comes with a lot of errors and nothing happend after that.
I have a led strip with the Wled integration.
Here is my Config:

LedstripLogeerkamer:
  module: controllerx
  class: E2002LightController
  integration: deconz
  controller: led_strip
  light: light.led_logeerkamer

Here is the outcome when i hold the button_down:

Can you tell me what i’m doing wrong?

EDIT: for some reason after the WLED was Powerd off for some time and offline. After 1 dat i put It back on and looks like Its working now.

Still have to test the FX part.

Has anyone here successfully setup ControllerX with the Tuya Smart Knob?

https://xaviml.github.io/controllerx/controllers/TuYaERS10TZBVKAA/

It seems to connect and I can see the state changes however I get the following error in Zigbee2MQTT:

entity

However if I use the same entity with the Ikea E1744 Smart Knob in ControllerX, it works just fine. I’m pulling my hair out here! Any help you be GREATLY appreciated! Below is my apps.yaml config:

office_dimmer:
  module: controllerx
  class: TuYaERS10TZBVKAAZ2MLightController
  integration:
    name: z2m
    listen_to: mqtt
  controller: SmartKnob
  light: light.switch_office

and here is what’s in the Z2M config for the Tuya:

'0x003c84fffeb13c00':
  friendly_name: SmartKnob

Since Appdaemon was updated to v4.4.0, the templates just stop working.

Going back to v4.2.3 makes it work again, so looks like there’s some breaking change on Appdaemon, I read the changelog and there’s nothing mentioning it, but the true is that is doesn’t work…

xaviml · April 15, 2023, 3:59am

Hi @mama_mia ,

Could you open a bug in the ControllerX GitHub issues and provide:

appdaemon.yml (exclude sensitive data).
failing app configuration (from apps.yaml).
the logs.
Steps to reproduce the bug.

Thank you,
Xavi M.

xaviml · April 15, 2023, 4:02am

Sorry everyone, I have been busy with my personal work and I have not had much time to look to all your messages. I will start look at them soon and reply to all of you.

Thank you for your patience.

xaviml · April 15, 2023, 4:10am

Hi @deadphill ,

Color looping is not supported by Z2M Light Controller.

https://xaviml.github.io/controllerx/others/zigbee2mqtt-light-controller/

If you want color looping, you will need to use the regular Light Controller with E2002LightController.

Regards,
Xavi M.

xaviml · April 15, 2023, 4:15am

Hi @AlexZuiderwijk ,

It seems there is something wrong in the configuration by what the logs shows. If you provide app configuration, it will help me to know what the issue might be.

Thanks,
Xavi M.

xaviml · April 15, 2023, 4:23am

Hi @sebpro,

MQTT broker (Mosquitto) documentations says:
“”"

Option: `logins` (optional)

A list of local users that will be created with username and password. You don’t need to do this because you can use Home Assistant users too, without any configuration. If a local user is specifically desired:

logins:
  - username: user
    password: passwd

“”""

So, if you specified a user and password, you csn use those, otherwise, you can use any Home Assistant user. In case you are using Zigbee2MQTT, you can use the same user you have configured in its configuration.

Regards,
Xavi M.

xaviml · April 15, 2023, 4:29am

Hi @Denman2103 ,

I recommend you adding the supported_features flag to your configuration: Controller types - ControllerX

It seems your light does not provide this attribute and it is a mandatory field from HA side. So you will need to provide it through configuration.

Regards,
Xavi M.

mama_mia · April 15, 2023, 4:13pm

Hi @xaviml,

I think I might know what the problem is.
I’ll make some tests later today before opening a bug in ControllerX.
If I can fix it, I’ll open a PR, if not, a but it is…

xaviml · April 15, 2023, 6:24pm

Hi @mama_mia ,

Apparently, this is an issue with AppDaemon:

PR is now merged, but we do not know when AppDaemon will release the fix. In the meantime, I am working on patching this fix as part of ControllerX temporarily until AppDaemon releases this fix officially.

I will keep you updated.

Regards,
Xavi M.

xaviml · April 15, 2023, 7:18pm

Hi @mama_mia ,

I just released fix into ControllerX v4.26.0. I have added a patch as a workaround, you can read more about it in:

Issue: [BUG] AppDaemon 4.4.X broke templates · Issue #810 · xaviml/controllerx · GitHub
PR: fix: temporary fix to template rendering by xaviml · Pull Request #811 · xaviml/controllerx · GitHub

EDIT:
I am having problems to use the patch with the AppDaemon addon, I will need to keep looking for a better solution.

Regards,
Xavi M.

xaviml · April 15, 2023, 8:28pm

Hi @mama_mia again,

I just released ControllerX v4.26.1 with a fix for AppDaemon addon.

Let me know if it works for you.

Regards,
Xavi M.

mama_mia · April 15, 2023, 10:44pm

Hi,

Just tested it, and it’s working.
Awesome!!

Thank’s!!

Thank you @Canaletto , I will look into it when I have time.

xaviml · April 16, 2023, 8:25pm

New AppDaemon version got release today with the fix for the template rendering. I will remove my patch when I have some more time again.

In case latest version is not working, v4.25.0 can be used since it does not contain the patch, and should work with latest AppDaemon version.
