How to use the PWM LED component in hassio

Installation Home Assistant OS

How can I use the PWM LED Component in hassio on raspberry pi 3. When trying to turn on the light i turns back off and I am getting the following error in the log.

Is it because the pigpio-daemon isn’t running, if so how do I install/start it in hassio.

My configuration of the pwm led component is the following:

light:
  - platform: rpi_gpio_pwm
    leds:
      - name: TV Light
        driver: gpio
        pins: [21]
        type: simple

I have the same issue! Any solution?

I have almost the same problem.
I have install an rgb strip but it doesn’t open at all.
There is just an amorous light on the led and that’s all.

4

Same problem, too. With raspbian and HA, I startet the pigiod and everything was fine. But how to do it with hassio?

5

Same issue, any solution?

6

Still same issue with 0.63

7

Anyone have a solution?

I’m also having the same issue with the GPIO PWM component. I can’t figure out how to tell if pigpio daemon is running.
My PWM LED reports this:

Count me in.

I’m still having the same issue in HA 0.87.0 and now HassOS 2.8. There’s still currently no way that I know to check if pigpio is running, or how to start the daemon in Hass at startup. I have a single RGB led connected to the gpio of the same Pi running HA. Can’t control it as a light. Really hoping a solution surfaces soon.

11

Got the same error on 0.88.2.

12

I trying to use the rpi_gpio_pwm platform but it doesn’t working. Can I use with Hass.io?
Thanks

13

Having the same issue… Any fix for using it on Hassio?

14

The same issue. Nobody knows answer? Thank you.

I don’t know what error I got, because I haven’t looked at logs. However RPI GPIO PWM was not working with me too, but it the pigpiod daemon not running.

Check if it running with “pigs t” command.

installed it to run at startup with:

sudo systemctl enable pigpiod

Then reboot and you will see the pwm lights. Hope this helps.

I also had this problem and implemented a hass.io addon, which contains the pwm access with pigpid running inside.

Code + Plugin: https://github.com/Poeschl/Hassio-Addons/tree/master/pigpio
Install the repository as Addon-Source, install pigpid Addon and use the default Homeassistant component.

HI There,

I’m new to HA. And I do not get How things work. Can somebody help me?
I was enable to get SSH working and log in to HASSOS. But i can not for example give the pigs t command. it results in a “command not found” same for sudo and even apt commands fail.

What am I missing here?

19

Are you ssh’ing over the hassio addon? If so, you are not on the real host. Your are inside the docker container of the addon.

To access the host os you have to setup the debug ssh access. See following thread for help: How to get access at damn host system?

20

OMG!! Now I understand! I’m very sorry for this stupid question. Thanks for clearing that up!

21

For all who are not getting to install pigpio, this is what I did to get the addon working
In Supervisor>addon store select repositories
Add this url https://github.com/Poeschl/Hassos-Addons
And press add. After the spinner is completed get to the addon store and search for pigpio. This will bring up this addon for instal and then you start this.
Now reboot and you will not get any log of error of pwmled.
