mshafiksh · February 26, 2019, 2:27pm

I did that all instructions the climate work perfect, but when i use
media_player:

platform: smartir
name: Living room TV
device_code: 1040
controller_send_service: switch.broadlink_send_packet_192_168_1_7

its gives me “Platform not found: media_player.smartir”

Is the media_player.py file in the smartir folder?

mshafiksh · February 26, 2019, 2:33pm

my directory is:
custom_components/smartir/codes+init.py+climate.py+media_player.py

inside:
codes/media_player/ .jsons

Strange. Please open an issue on GitHub

mshafiksh · February 26, 2019, 2:36pm

thanks again

About configuration of the component
on Hassio the right path for the custom_components/smartir… directory is inside the /config folder, the same folder of the configuration.yaml is this correct?

Kvasenok · February 26, 2019, 9:22pm

Yes, this is correct.

Will do it. Could you send me the model of the TV device?

gianpyc · February 27, 2019, 6:41pm

Is it possible to add a ping host option as the old component? The old component only sent ping’s when required. So that the state updates were quite fast. Whereas the new one requires a power sensor. If I create a ping sensor to feed the power_sensor: option I need to put a small scan_interval which creates unnecessary traffic.

Vassilis · February 27, 2019, 7:34pm

Please add 1060 to device_code parameter. The component will download your file.

Vassilis · February 27, 2019, 7:41pm

This is not true.The ping command was executed every 30 seconds.

sendorm · February 27, 2019, 7:47pm

I’ve checked your code and each command has the self.schedule_update_ha_state() statement and def update(self) includes the ping command. And from that information I supposed ping was called with every command and not on a scheduled base. I supposed wrong then, opps
So from another perspective, is it possible to add such functionality to the smartir code?

Vassilis · February 27, 2019, 7:55pm

If should_poll is true then the component calls update on a scheduled base (according to scan_inteval). I’m not planning to add the ping function to smartir. A ping binary sensor will do the job.

sendorm · February 27, 2019, 8:01pm

Too bad to hear that. Yes I am using a ping binary_sensor, but even with a scan_interval of 30s it has worse performance than the old component. I was not using the “should_poll” with the old component.

Vassilis · February 27, 2019, 8:24pm

Should_poll was true in code. It was mentioned to complete your findings.
For faster updates add scan_interval: to media_player configuration and adjust to your needs.

sendorm · February 27, 2019, 8:28pm

Actually I don’t have should_poll in code, but thank you. Will look into changing scan intervals to a lesser amount to get the desired effect. Thank you.

When I try to convert my ini files the process is always failed:

I use these at the old broadlink mediaplayer:
https://github.com/vpnmaster/homeassistant-custom-components/blob/master/broadlink_media_codes/samsung.ini

What is wrong whit this?

Vassilis · February 27, 2019, 9:09pm

This tool converts only climate INI files. There is already a file compatible with your tv. Please add 1060 to device_code parameter. The component will download your file.
