Custom component: Just Add Power HD over IP

nerddude · August 16, 2019, 10:53pm

Looks like its able to connect to switch…some of the logs i see

Can you send me the whole log? If you don’t want to attach it to the post, PM it to me. It looks like it has indeed connected to the switch but is having problems connecting to the receiver. I think the next line would probably be a connection timeout?

I might have to add some additional logging to dump out the IP addresses it is trying to use as well in case it is somehow picking up the wrong info.

nerddude · August 17, 2019, 1:54pm

I was able to get it connected once i added IP’s of receivers. I think auto detection did not work…

Bertbert · August 18, 2019, 7:16am

Not quite sure what you mean about adding the IPs. There is only autodetection based on the switch configuration. Assumption is always that JADConfig was used which writes all the details to the switch. But anyway if it’s working that’s great.

Hi Bert, did you and bos get this working with the Luxel switch? I am still looking to be able to use this as well.

Thanks,
Dave

Bertbert · September 27, 2019, 8:57pm

No, I need someone to run the test_switch.py script and provide back the logs to progress this. As I don’t have access to a Luxul switch, I’m reliant on someone trying these out and giving me feedback.

Michael_Windon · February 7, 2021, 7:03pm

Hello! I have a JAP, HASSIO implementation with a Luxul switch. I wish I would have found this thread sooner. Rather than making a custom component, I hacked together a python REST API server running on my HASSIO that accepts input room and source as params and then execute expect scripts to Telenet into my luxul switch to change inputs of my tvs. I also have an api that uses the JAPs to send cec commands to do basic tasks like turning on and off tvs and switching inputs. In hassio i use the switch.yaml to create CURL based switches to use the REST API. I would love to help get your custom component working with luxul switch as i think it would much easier for others to implement and abstract a lot of the complexity of my setup. My Public project can be found here: https://github.com/michaelwindon/Restful-jap-control. The changejap.sh is being used to change the receiver port to the associated transmitter vlan. very similar to Cisco
login
config t
interface GigabitEthernet 1/16
switchport hybrid allowed vlan 10,15

expect "Username:"
	send "admin\r"
	expect "Password:"
	send "admin\r"
	expect "#"
	send "config t\r"
	expect "(config)#"
	send "interface GigabitEthernet 1/$room\r" <-- Port of the RX ie Room
	expect "(config-if)#"
        send "description $action$source\r" <-- Add description to port, was going to use this to get current state info
        expect "(config-if)#"
	send "switchport hybrid allowed vlan 10,$source\r" <-- Add the TX to the Room to enable the source

Bertbert · February 9, 2021, 8:39am

I don’t think there should be huge change required to get this working on a Luxul. Unfortunately as I mentioned before, I don’t have access to one. I created a test script that should give me some info (although to be honest I’d have to go back over it all since I can hardly remember anything about it!). The script is at:

github.com

bertbert72/homeassistant-justaddpower/blob/6bddb8467cad148dadc0ed18aa1bd225d215dfca/test_switch.py

import socket
import time
import re
import types
import queue
import threading

CONF_NAME = 'name'
TELNET_PORT = 23

switch = types.SimpleNamespace()
switch.host = 'japluxul01'
switch.user = 'cisco'
switch.password = 'cisco'
switch.min_refresh_interval = 0
switch.sock = None
switch.queue = queue.Queue(1)
switch.last_refresh = 0
switch.last_response = ""
switch.tx_count = 0

This file has been truncated. show original

Just edit the switch settings at the top to match yours. Then run it, e.g.

python3 test_switch.py

and send me the output.

vraa · December 10, 2021, 7:40pm

Does the script change anything? Is it safe to run on an existing production environment?

Hi, I know that this thread is old but I would like to know if this can work with last version for raspberry and using a Cisco SG models,

Thanks

Just started on HA and Just Add Power is one of the key integrations for me.
Does anyone know if this custom integration still works?

After some digging I found out that HA now requires a version number in the manifest.json:
“domain”: “justaddpower”,
“name”: “JustAddPower”,
“version”: “1.0”,
“documentation”: “homeassistant-justaddpower/README.md at 0a4d34bb3290824f2d19fceee7fcfd2423674c46 · bertbert72/homeassistant-justaddpower · GitHub”,
“dependencies”: [],
“codeowners”: ["@bertbert"],
“requirements”: []

Once passed that I still get errors loading the platform. I’m just wondering if anyone has this custom integration working with a recent version of HA? I’m using OS 9.3 and Core 2022.10.5.

Waddy72 · November 8, 2022, 1:18pm

The log entries I’m getting for the error are:Platform error: media_player

As a newbie I’m struggling to figure out what this means and how to fix it!

Bertbert · November 8, 2022, 2:12pm

I fixed that recently but obviously forgot to update Github. I’ll do that later on tonight.

Waddy72 · November 8, 2022, 3:40pm

Thanks for the quick response.

Are you referring to fixing the version missing from the manifest or the problem underlying the error in my last post?
I added the version manually and got past that stage

Bertbert · November 8, 2022, 6:47pm

Both. The updated version is on Github. Just be aware that your mileage may vary with this component. I don’t think many people have used it, so effectively it only definitely works with my setup…

Waddy72 · November 9, 2022, 10:52am

Thanks for the updates and the advice.

The updates moved things along to the next errors. When I ran with the same config file and your updated files I get timeouts on every Rx.
Logger: custom_components.justaddpower.media_player
Source: custom_components/justaddpower/media_player.py:116
Integration: justaddpower (documentation)
First occurred: 23:57:10 (8 occurrences)
Last logged: 23:57:11
Rx4: connection timed out
Rx5: connection timed out
Rx6: connection timed out
Rx7: connection timed out
Rx8: connection timed out

The receivers are in the config after the transmitters which don’t generate any warnings or errors. So I added the ip_address optional parameter for each Rx. I now get the following error:
Error while setting up justaddpower platform for media_player
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/helpers/entity_platform.py”, line 281, in _async_setup_platform
await asyncio.shield(task)
File “/usr/local/lib/python3.10/concurrent/futures/thread.py”, line 58, in run
result = self.fn(*self.args, **self.kwargs)
File “/config/custom_components/justaddpower/media_player.py”, line 116, in setup_platform
device = JustaddpowerReceiver(switch, rx_ip, extra[CONF_IMAGE_PULL], extra[CONF_IMAGE_PULL_REFRESH],
File “/config/custom_components/justaddpower/media_player.py”, line 152, in init
data = self.rx_cmd(cmd)
File “/config/custom_components/justaddpower/media_player.py”, line 311, in rx_cmd
self._rx_sock.sendall(cmd.encode())
AttributeError: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘sendall’

I’m not sure how the Tx & Rx should appear in HA. I can’t find the Tx anywhere. All the Rx are set up as entities but are read only. That result is the same for either of the above scenarios (timeout or error)

I appreciate what you said about not many people using this so can understand if it’s not worth your time investigating. All I would say is that this is a key integration for me. If I can’t get it working I may need to look at alternatives to HA.

Thanks

Bertbert · November 9, 2022, 2:23pm

The transmitters don’t appear as we don’t care about them as entities. They exist only as sources for the receivers. To look into it, I’ll need you to switch on debug logging for the component and provide me the logs and your config (remove any passwords).

To turn on debug logging, edit your configuration YAML, e.g.

logger:
  default: error 
  logs:
    custom_components.justaddpower: debug

Also can you confirm you are using a Cisco switch?

Waddy72 · November 9, 2022, 7:01pm

Its a Cisco SG300 switch configured with JADConfig.

This is the config:

Loads default set of integrations. Do not remove.
