Problem D-Link Switch

Configuration
1

So today I wanted to install my D-Link W215 switch by adding the component and filling in all credentials etc.
The switch does not show up.

I got these errors in the logs.

Is the IP address of the switch correct and the device online?

I can see it in myDlink app, I can login via browser on it’s webpage with admin and password and I see it in Fing.

It’s online at 192.168.0.146 that is the IP I filled out in the configuration.yaml along with admin and password.

Sorry, I missed this thread. Can you try to use module directly? Something like the sample below should work.

 from pyW215 import SmartPlug

 sp = SmartPlug('192.168.1.110', '******')
 plug = sp.current_consumption
 print(plug)

Apologies for adding to an old thread but I am having issues with setting up my Dlink Wi-Fi Smartplugs too.

I receive the following message in the logs:

I have tried multiple combos of IP address with and without the leading “http://”.

@dennisaion, were you able to get yours installed?

Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thank you :relaxed:

I gave up on this.

7

So did I. I have them sort of working using IFTTT triggers to turn them on and off, but basically I’m putting them on unimportant things and eventually replacing them with WeMo switches.

8

I agree with @dennisaion and @LazerPanther - I took my 2x D-Link WiFi SmartPlugs back to the store this morning and swapped them for 2x WEMO Insight Switches.

Up and running with the WEMO’s in minutes. Worth the extra $ to save my sanity. Happy Days!!! :smiley:

In case anyone needs a solution and hopefully a dev can amend this. The problem is that in pyW215.py, there are strings for making http requests in this format: ’ “string” '. The inner set of parentheses need to be deleted and then it at least doesn’t reaise an exception. The on and off part doesn’t work and I think the code is missing that bit. Since I have one I may work on it.

@ggamble22 - did you have time to look into this?

Anybody else still having issues? I’m getting the following errors (using WSP215 plugs). Seems like the same issue to me.

Shortly after I started looking into it the original author of the library fixed the major error. If you delete the pyW215 library in your deps folder, HA should download the fixed one or you may have to go the github page and replace it manually.

Also it does generate warnings about not finding total consumption since the library does not support that in the US version of the plug.

12

Thanks for your quick response! Deleted the files/directory, got replaced by new versions, but still receiving exactly the same errors. Any advice/thoughts?

Try downloading the source from https://github.com/LinuxChristian/pyW215 and replace the files in the deps/pyW215.

14

Thanks - but…still doesn’t work. Keep getting exactly the same error messages. I’m not sure what else to do. I see in the forum that others have similar issues.

15

I’m having the same issues. Tried upgrading pyW215 but still doesn’t work. It’s probably worth noting I’m using the UK version of the plug.

16

So I just tried this again for this first time in ages, and something definitely changed cause all of a sudden they work like a champ. Still buying WeMo ones in the future, but at least I don’t have to use IFTTT triggers now.

17

Did you do anything specifically? I’m still having issues

18

I kept trying and also had a close look in the files that are reported in the log file. I can’t figure it out. Just to be sure - I’m using a W215, hardware revB with software version 2.22, a Fritzbox 6490 in Germany. Configuration in .yaml is the following:
platform: dlink
host: http://192.168.178.xx
name: Plug
username: admin
password: xxxxxx

19

And now they’re back to not working :frowning: Back to troubleshooting.

Anybody any luck with this?
