Great! I'll get back with a how-to asap.

How-to for setting up a linux python3 dev environment and cloning and installing my github fork of home-assistant.

Make sure you have python3 installed and also dev files, python3-dev. The dev files might be needed for some compiles.
https://github.com/zookeepr/zookeepr/wiki/Creating-a-Development-Environment-with-pip-and-virtualenv
Make sure you have pip installed, also for python3:
http://python-packaging-user-guide.readthedocs.org/en/latest/install_requirements_linux/

Install virtualenvwrapper:
https://github.com/zookeepr/zookeepr/wiki/Creating-a-Development-Environment-with-pip-and-virtualenv

TLDR:

sudo pip install virtualenv
mkdir ~/.virtualenvs
sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper

For Debian/Ubuntu add these lines to ~/.bashrc

export WORKON_HOME=~/.virtualenvs
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

For Fedora:

export WORKON_HOME=~/.virtualenvs
source /usr/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

source ~/.bashrc

Create a virtualenv with python3:

mkvirtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 hasstest

Use a virtualenv:

workon hasstest

Make sure you have git installed:
https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git

mkdir ~/dev
cd ~/dev

Clone the github repo:

git clone https://github.com/MartinHjelmare/home-assistant.git
cd home-assistant

Fetch and checkout the correct branch:

git fetch origin mysensors-tcp-gateway
git checkout mysensors-tcp-gateway

Install with pip:

pip3 install -e .
pip3 install colorlog
pip3 install python-Levenshtein

Start hass

hass

Hi @martinhjelmare

I'm getting close. I run into an error when running mkvirtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 hasstest

"bash: mkvirtualenv: command not found"

The other packages listed above

martinhjelmare

@drock1985

Did you source ~/.bashrc before running that command? You need to make sure the virtualenvwrapper.sh script is run for the terminal session you are in, before you have the commands on your path. Sourcing it in .bashrc will make sure it runs when you login. The first time, you have to do it manually though, if you don't want to logout/login.

Hi,

Got it installed and compiled. But when I start Hass, I am getting errors about not being able to isntall Netdisco (or any other addon). Seems to want to start fresh on very boot.

The configuration file I used was in the homeassistant/config folder. There was a configuration.yaml.example file in there so I assumed thats where the config file would go.

martinhjelmare

@drock1985

Can you post your error log? Try installing netdisco manually with pip.

drock1985

@martinhjelmare

I tried manually installing Netdisco, but it won't compile. I get an error complaining about gcc failing with error status 1.

The config file it looks for is in my normal home folder (which I assume is correct). The only error in the log is that it could not initialize discovery because dependency netdisco 0.5.2 could not be installed.

I think I will try this again tomorrow with Debian or Ubuntu... seems to be a more favorable distro to install Home-Assistant to. I think I even may have an old Pi still kicking around.

martinhjelmare

@drock1985

You don't need discovery for mysensors, so you could disable that in the config if you don't have any other component that you want to activate which need discovery.

Do you have gcc installed and general packages for building, usually called build tools, build-essentials etc?

drock1985

@martinhjelmare

Haven't tried build-tools (tried build-essential, it couldn't find any packages) and I do have GCC installed.

Will try again when i'm done work for the evening and see what happens.

martinhjelmare

@drock1985

I think it's called development tools for Fedora. Google it.

If you can post the build log message, I could advise better. It could be a specific lib package that is missing for the compile. The log will usually give some hint on what's missing.

martinhjelmare

I've updated the branch at my fork of pymysensors. If you have installed the ethernet branch of my fork of home-assistant, you should uninstall/reinstall that, or just make a new virtual environment and install again. You should remove the lib directory in your home assistant config directory as well.

Eg:

rm -r ~/.homeassistant/lib
mkvirtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 hasstest2
cd ~/dev/home-assistant
git branch -D mysensors-tcp-gateway
git fetch origin mysensors-tcp-gateway
git checkout mysensors-tcp-gateway
pip3 install -e .
pip3 install colorlog
pip3 install python-Levenshtein

Did you checkout correct branch?

git fetch origin mysensors-tcp-gateway
git checkout mysensors-tcp-gateway

You should remove the lib directory in ~/.homeassistant/ before you start hass again after the git checkout also.

rm -r ~/.homeassistant/lib

drock1985

Ugh, forgot to run the checkout command. palm smacks head

Booting now, will report back in a minute if it is working or not.

martinhjelmare

@drock1985

Don't forget to use the correct ip address of your gateway in your network.

drock1985

@martinhjelmare

It works! Found my motion sensor with ease. Will start adding lights now shortly

Thanks again, loving this.

EDIT: Quick question: To autostart this, would I just use the normal Home-Assistant instructions in the virtualenv, or is there another method to do it?

martinhjelmare

@drock1985

:thumbsup:

When you have time, can you run git log and tell me the top commit message, so I know which version you are using.

Regarding autostart, no I don't think you can use the normal instructions together with the virtualenv. You could write a script, that changes to the virtualenv and starts hass, and run that script at login or similar.

If you don't have another production install of home assistant on the computer, you can skip the virtualenv alltogether and just do:

pip3 install --user "https://github.com/MartinHjelmare/home-assistant/archive/mysensors-tcp-gateway.zip"

or if you want to install as root:

sudo pip3 install "https://github.com/MartinHjelmare/home-assistant/archive/mysensors-tcp-gateway.zip"

This way you should be able to autostart the usual way, per instructions on the web.

But then if you want to test an update from me, you have to make sure you uninstall everything correctly and manually remove ~/.homeassistant/lib before you install again.

Here is the info you requested:

commit d07f8097a6186611371b8bc918fcb0d436bb39ba
Author: MartinHjelmare <marhje52@kth.se>

    Add mysensors tcp ethernet gateway

    * Replace CONF_PORT with CONF_DEVICE and ATTR_PORT with ATTR_DEVICE.
    * Add tcp_port in config.
    * Use fork pymysensors repo, temporarily.
    * Try to guess if tcp or serial gateway is configured, by validating
        device name as an ip address. If successful setup tcp gateway, if it
        fails, setup serial gateway.
    * Update device_state_attributes to show correct device, ethernet or
        serial.

Sorry, I forgot I've only updated the pymysensors project, so you checking the home-assistant git log is no use. Well, I think your're running the lastest version anyway, since you got it working just now. Everything should be ok.

Let me know if you experience any problems.

If everything seems ok for you after some time of testing, I don't see why we can't release this very soon. My limited testing after the lastest update, show no problems.

Any plan to implement Ethernet GW?
