Xiaomi Chuangmi_ir (Universal IR Remote Controller)

syssi · January 21, 2018, 2:44pm

The homeassistant api for services has changed. I will update the component!

syssi · January 21, 2018, 3:02pm

Could you please post your configuration.yaml. The code of the custom component looks good. I assume your configuration doesn’t looks like this:

switch:
  - platform: chuangmi_ir
    name: "livingroomirremote"
    host: !secret chuangmi_ip
    token: !secret chuangmi_key
    switches:
      tv:
        command_on: ''
        command_off: ''

endallas · January 21, 2018, 3:08pm

Looks exactly like that. Problems started when updated to 0.61.

Will wait for the update of the component.

syssi · January 21, 2018, 3:35pm

Alright. I found the issue. Please update your custom component:

endallas · January 21, 2018, 3:56pm

Nice work! Works great.

But command is switch.send_command_192_xxx

Maybe it would be more convenient if it was switch.chuangmi_send_command_192_xxx
If one use different IR platforms

syssi · January 21, 2018, 5:03pm

You are totally right. I will refactor the code soon.

marcz · January 21, 2018, 6:00pm

I updated the component and I get this error.

syssi · January 21, 2018, 9:13pm

This is strange. Could you try to call “python” and input the following lines:

from construct.lib.bitstream import RestreamedBytesIO, RebufferedBytesIO

Does it return the same error?

marcz · January 21, 2018, 9:34pm

Hi, how do I call python? I use hass.io 0.61.1, do I need to use hassbian instead?

syssi · January 21, 2018, 9:50pm

In this case please wait for the next homeassistant release. The miio components are broken at 0.61.1.

eltommi · January 28, 2018, 9:39pm

Hello.
Sorry if I missed something. After the latest update the service isn’t working anymore.
Both trying to call it in the dev tools like {“packet”:“Z6blabla”}, and in the scripts.yaml, like it used to do, using this format

lg_on_off:
sequence:
- service: switch.send_command_192_168_0_152
data:
packet:
- “Z6VHABsCAABEAgAAowYAAL8IAABkEQAAOyMAAKScAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABFEBAgEBAQEBAgIBAgICAgIBAQECAQEBAQICAgECAgICBgNQA=”

No particular messages from log. I just replaced “chuangmi” with “switch” as domain, and stopped working.
The command_on: and command_off: declared in configuration.yaml work instead as expected.
Thanks!

marcz · January 28, 2018, 10:52pm

@syssi with the latest Home assistant release (0.62.0) I’m still having problems.

A clever guy was able to encode proton ir commands in a chuang mir ir command (base64 string):

The feature is part of python-miio now and will be available soon at home assistant:

github.com/home-assistant/core

python-miio remote.

home-assistant:dev ← cnrd:remote-xiaomi-miio

## Description: Original PR: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/p…ull/11856 I ended up changing the code so much that I'm pretty sure it warrants a new PR. This implements the ChuangmiIr device from python-miio as a remote device. It adds a new service called: remote.xiaomi_miio_learn_command which takes an entity_id of the device to learn commands from. A service call to remote.send_command can either be one of the commands from config by name or a base64 command directly. The reason for defaulting to hide the entity, is that it really just acts as a "bridge" to send commands from, so there is no reason to expose it in the UI by default. **Pull request in [home-assistant.github.io](https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.github.io) with documentation (if applicable):** home-assistant/home-assistant.github.io#4513 ## Example entry for `configuration.yaml` (if applicable): ```yaml remote: - platform: xiaomi_miio name: "some nice name" (Optional) host: [ip] token: [token] slot: 1 (Optional) timeout: 30 (Optional) hidden: false (Optional) commands: (Optional) some_command_callable_from_remote.send_command: command: - [base64 encoded string] some_other_command_callable_from_remote.send_command: command: - [base64 encoded string] - [base64 encoded string] ``` You could then create an actual UI button in this way: ```yaml script: some_command: sequence: - service: remote.send_command entity_id: 'remote.some_nice_name' data: command: - 'some_command_callable_from_remote.send_command' ``` This allows us to save arbitrary commands as part of the remote and give them easy, readable names. ## Checklist: - [x] The code change is tested and works locally. If user exposed functionality or configuration variables are added/changed: - [x] Documentation added/updated in [home-assistant.github.io](https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.github.io) If the code communicates with devices, web services, or third-party tools: - [x] Local tests with `tox` run successfully. **Your PR cannot be merged unless tests pass** - [x] New dependencies have been added to the `REQUIREMENTS` variable ([example][ex-requir]). - [x] New dependencies are only imported inside functions that use them ([example][ex-import]). - [x] New dependencies have been added to `requirements_all.txt` by running `script/gen_requirements_all.py`. - [x] New files were added to `.coveragerc`.

Stay tuned! My custom component will be obsolete then.

Trying to get this to work on Hass.io 0.63.1 but got this error. Installed on custom components. Any help?

After updating to 0.63.3, chuangmi_ir is back. But it controls becomes an input boolean instead of separate on and off buttons like in the previous versions. And I get the following error when executing

Please remove the custom_components/switch/chuangmi_ir.py and update your configuration to use the official component remote.xiaomi_miio.

Quick & dirty solution: I fixed the custom_component. https://github.com/syssi/chuangmi_ir
