ControllerX not working (ZHA)

Amanoo · December 22, 2023, 9:14pm

I’m trying to get some buttons to toggle some lights (plus do smooth dimming and stuff) using ControllerX from @xaviml, but it does absolutely nothing. Nothing happens when I press any buttons. I’m trying to toggle light groups, but I also can’t get individual lights to toggle. The buttons and some of the lamps are connected through ZHA (some lamps through WiFi).

I can see an event happening in AppDaemon when I press the button. I can toggle the lights manually in Home Assistant. Everything is present in Home Assistant itself.

One thing I have noticed is that I can’t see any references to ControllerX in my AppDaemon environment.

cat /config/appdaemon/apps/apps.yaml

bedroom_deur: 
  module: controllerx 
  class: E1810Controller 
  controller: 00:0d:6f:ff:fe:06:82:da
  integration: zha
  light: light.linkind_plafondlamp_licht 

bedroom_bed:
  module: controllerx
  class: E1810Controller
  controller: 58:8e:81:ff:fe:43:09:07 
  integration: zha
  light: light.slaapkamer

I double and triple checked the IEEE addresses

ls /config/appdaemon/apps/controllerx
controllerx.py  cx_devices
cx_const.py     cx_helper.py
cx_core         cx_yersion.py

It appears to be properly installed. I’m not convinced that ControllerX is actually running. AppDaemon is running, but I cannot find ControllerX inside AppDaemon.

So I finally decided to check my logs, and yeah, ControllerX is just not starting. Tried to reinstall from Git instead of HACS, but that doesn’t fix anything. Apparently controllerx.py doesn’t have an app description, whatever that means.

Apparently, my config wasn’t supposed to be in /config/appdaemon/apps/apps.yaml but in /addon_configs/a0d7b954_appdaemon/apps/apps.yaml

ControllerX is doing stuff now.
