New add-on to add support for Easywave devices

marcselis · April 4, 2023, 1:23pm

I just release version 0.6. This version should solve the need to restart the addon after each HA or Mosquito update. And the state of the Easywave switches is now persisted after restart of the addon.

I am very new to Home Assistant and are trying to get the Eldat USB stick to work and have followed the entire config and the USB is detected by HA and sees when I press any of the 4 buttons on the remote to operate the sunscreen.

Now I want HA to control the sunscreen, but I need some help to set this up.

How can I create a simple button that sends the command to “open” the sunscreen?
For me, as a newby, it seems that there is missing some information to get this going.

Who can help me?

Hi Bollo,

As I said in the response to the mail you sent me, the plugin does not support sunscreens yet, only wall switches and lights. I can try to add support but I’ll need your (or someone else’s help) as I don’t have access to a sunscreen, nor to a sunscreen remote.

I suggest we keep communicating through mail and report back here when there is progression that others can benefit from.

Hi Marcelis, I just received a notification from the forum that there was a reply, hence my late reply.

I’ll send you the requested info tomorrow.

Let’s see/hope that we can make it work

Dear Marc,

I hope you are well. Almost a year later I come back to your project and I am stuck again at the same spot. Somehow I am just not getting it, I must have a thinking error somewhere. So, please bear with me, this is a looong post. My setup is (in a simple picture):

I am running:

Easywave2MQTT (v0.7.1)
HA 11.3 (RX09 USB stick is recognized and working)

What I am trying to achieve: send a command from HA (RX09 USB Stick) to the Roof Window Shutters (Receiver) to open or close it.

My setup files & logs:

1. appsettings.json:

{
  //These options get overriden by the addon options

        },
        {
          "Address": "000010",  // I have no idea what is the right code here. With this one, the shutters don't move. How to find out the right code? 
          "KeyCode": "A",
          "CanSend": "true"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Sorry for the endless infos, here is finally my question : I have tried to open or close the shutters with Home Assistant using a couple of different codes, such as “TXP,10,A” or “TXP,10,B”. But unsuccessfully, the shutters don’t move at all. If I use the remote control (Transmitter), the shutters work and I can see in the logs that the Transceiver (RX09 USB stick) works and records the commands.

But how do I get the Transceiver to send the right command/code to the shutters (Receiver) so they open or close accordingly? Do you see any mistakes in the setup/configuration? How do I find out what the right commands/codes are that HA needs to send?

Thanks a lot for your help & advice.

marcselis · November 28, 2023, 10:06am

Hi,

In the meantime I’ve added support for blinds/shutters with the help of another HA user who had them.

Fixing the config

Your config is not entirely correct, but you’re not that far off.

Your declaration of the remote control seems correct. HA now knows that there is some kind of transmitter in the house that has 3 buttons and can now detect (single/double/triple)-push actions on them and can act upon it.

Your declaration of the shutter has some problems:

First of all, the Type off your shutter should be Blind to tell Easywave2MQTT and HA that this device is a blind/shutter.
Second, you only need to declare a subscription for one single button (A in your case) per address. Easywave2MQTT will smart enough to link button B & C to the same device. (The reason why you need to specify the button is because there are transmitters with more buttons. In case of a transmitter with 6 buttons, you could have button A, B & C linked to shutter 1 and buttons D, E & F to shutter 2, so you would put D in the second shutter’s subscription).
The subscription with Address 10, keycode A and CanSend=true, is correct. That one will tell HA that if it wants the shutter to open, it should ask Easywave2MQTT to tell the Eldat transmitter to send out a button A press on address 10, and if it wants the shutter to close, it should ask Easywave2MQTT to tell the Eldat transmitter to send out a button B press on address 10.

The new config should look something like this. Fix the config, restart the Easywave2MQTT plugin and check the logs for errors.

  //These options get overriden by the addon options

  "SerialPort": "/dev/ttyUSB0",

  //These options need to be altered manually, until I figure out how to do it from Home Assistant.

      "Area": "Bedroom",
      "Buttons": [ "A", "B", "C" ] // A is up, B is down, C is stop
    },
    {
      "Id": "shtter",  // this is the self-chosen ID of the Receiver (Roof Window Shutters) 
      "Type": "Blind",  //tell HA this is a shutter/blind
      "Name": "Bedroom Window Shutter",
      "Area": "Bedroom",
      "Subscriptions": [
        {
          "Address": "308234",
          "KeyCode": "A"  // Only need to link the "Up"-Button
        },
        {
          "Address": "000010",  // Eldat address 16 (in hexadecimal), more on that below
          "KeyCode": "A",  // Eldat will also send an UP button message
          "CanSend": "true"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Nice to meet you Eldat

It’s normal that your shutters don’t react on any actions you do in HA: your blinds do not have any idea that the Eldat stick is talking to them. It’s controller might see the Eldat messages flying by, but it doesn’t know that it has to act on them. As far as it knows these messages are for another device.

You need to manually tell the shutters that there is a new remote control (which is is the Eldat stick). The procedure to do that depends on the shutters and should be mentioned somewhere in the manual.

The other guy that helped doing the modifications had Altron shutters and their procedure was as follows (might work or might not work in your case!!):

Open the shutters half-way with your old remote.
Hold the STOP button of your old remote until the shutters confirm with a short up & down movement.
Within 5 seconds, press and release the UP key and then the DOWN key of your old remote. The shutters will again confirm with a short up and down movement.
Within 5 seconds press the up key of the new remote, the shutter will acknowledge again.
Your shutters can now be controlled by both remotes.

The tricky part

As the Eldat stick is the new remote, you’ll need to execute step 4 above from HA, so you’ll need to open the blinds using HA, which in its turn will ask Easywave2MQTT to instruct the Eldat stick to send the button A message on address 10. Once the shutters see that coming in, it will think that the Eldat stick is just another remote and will start acting on its messages.

Closing

I hope this clears things up a bit. Good luck getting them to work.

Hi Marc,

thank you very much for the comprehensive reply! I used your modified config and the logs look good.

The tricky part is indeed making the shutters respond to the Eldat stick. I will try the process that worked with the Altron shutters but presume that my shutters will need a different procedure - need to find a manual for them and see how I can pair them with the Eldat stick. But need to wait a bit in any case before I can continue my quest as it’s currently snowing heavily and the shutters are frozen shut .

I will report back once I have further news.

Thanks again and have a good weekend.

marcselis · January 24, 2024, 5:03pm

The src folder is only used for developing the plugin. The output of the development is then copied into the addon/Easywave2MQTT folder.

So, first delete the addon from HA if you have already installed it and only copy the contents of the addon folder from github to the addons folder in the SMB share of Home Assistant, like in the screenshot below.
Your \\homeassistant\addons folder should only contain a single Easywave2MQTT folder and nothing else (besides any other plug-ins you have manually installed).

The config file you should alter is the \\homeassistant\addons\Easywave2MQTT\app\appSettings.json file.

Replace the contents of line 13->207 with your own configuration (take care of the syntax!).
The settings from lines 3->10 can be changed from the plugin configuration and what is set there will take precedence over what is in the config file.

Also make sure to read Nice to meet you Eldat part from the previous question as that explains how you can link your Eldat receiver to the stuff you want to control from HA.

DaVinci1962 · January 26, 2024, 4:44pm

Thanks Marc for your quick reply.
I reinstalled the plugin with the correct path, modified the json file.
One thing I discovered is that you need to do a rebuild when you change the json file. And a stop & start.
Also, the ID’s cannot be longer than 7 characters.
Struggled a while with the Mosquito MQTT broker but it finaly worked after a reboot.
As you said, you need to add the Eldat stick as a new remote to the Niko “receivers”.
I can now ditch the soon to be retired connected switch.
Thanks for all your good work.

marcselis · January 26, 2024, 6:27pm

Glad it works.
A rebuild should not be necessary when changing the config file… A simple restart should suffice as the plugin reads the contents of the config file while starting-up.
But be aware that the values in the configuration tab (which will be set as environment variables in the container that hosts the plug-in) always take precedence over the values in the config file.

I think there is something wrong in your config.

The Failed to subscribe to topic messages are normal. I still need to adapt the plugin to be compatible with MQTT 5 that now reports Quality of Service levels as return codes while in previous versions everything besides 0 was an error.

But what I’m missing is Declaring button ... and Declaring blinds ... messages in the logs. These are the messages that indicate that my addon created the devices in HA. As they do not show in your log, that would mean that the Devices list is not parsed correctly.

As I don’t see it in the config contents you pasted, are you sure the initial { in the beginning of the `addons/Easywave2MQTT/app/appsettings.json’ file is there? For reference I’ve added the complete config file contents below.

{
    "LogLevel": "Information",
    "SerialPort": "/dev/ttyUSB0",
    "EasywaveActionTimeout": "500",
    "EasywaveRepeatTimeout": "80",
    "MQTTServer": "192.168.1.210",
    "MQTTPort": "1883",
    "MQTTUser": "easywave",
    "MQTTPassword": "easywave",
    "Devices": [
        {
            "Id": "18df10",
            "Type": "Transmitter",
            "Name": "Buero OG",
            "Area": "Büro",
            "KeyCode": [
                "A",
                "B",
                "C"
            ]
        },
        {
            "Id": "bBuerO",
            "Type": "Blind",
            "Name": "Blind Buero OG",
            "Area": "Büro",
            "Subscriptions": [
                {
                    "Address": "18df10",
                    "KeyCode": "A"
                },
                {
                    "Address": "000010",
                    "KeyCode": "A",
                    "CanSend": "true"
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Another strange thing are the Ignored incoming MQTT message for unknown device 000001 and Ignored incoming MQTT message for unknown device 000010 I see. I’m guessing you are trying to send mqtt messages yourself, but these are not correct, as the commands should be targeted to device bBuerO and not to the subscriptions that drive it. And this will only work if the addon declared the devices correctly.

Thanks so far, I checked for the open “{” and also tried while copy/paste your config proposal. But still not see any device declaration. If i use the appsettings directly from guthub, all looks fine. Also devices are created…

The ignored incoming messages were my mistake, as I thaught I have to create a device by myself and send commands from it via MQTT to your Add-on.

marcselis · February 14, 2024, 7:16pm

Can you change the loglevel to Verbose in the configuration, restart the addon, wait 5 seconds and then copy the contents of the log here?

sebatro · February 14, 2024, 7:27pm

While using your config proposal from above.

The node name for the array of buttons for device id 18df10 is incorrect.
It should be Buttons instead of KeyCode.
The rest seems correct, so far…

Correct that nodename, Stop the addon, press the Rebuild button and wait until the spinner stops spinning, then press start.

That should do the trick.

sebatro · February 15, 2024, 6:57pm

Thanks, that was a dump error by myself. Actually I got it (halfway) to close and open my blinds, BUT only when I declare them as “Light”…

Means I wrote a config, with "Type": "Blind" doesn’t do anything, also no device creation. When I changed to "Type": "Light" I got devices (as lights) and can now open and close my blinds. No stop possible but so far better than nothing.

If you have any other idea (?) or like me to test something, I would be happy to help also would be happy if stop would also be possible. As it would directly influence the WAF

marcselis · February 15, 2024, 9:31pm

What is the version number of the Easywave2MQTT add-on that you have installed?
It should be 0.7.1 or higher for the blinds to work.

Also, I’m not really sure, but it seems that the latest version of HA caches the configuration somehow. When you change to type to Blind, be sure to stop the addon and press the rebuild button and after the rebuild is done, start it again.

It can also help to delete the existing “light” device before starting the add-in with the type configured as “blind”.
