Any plan to implement Ethernet GW?



  • Hi guys,

    I spend all day yesterday playing with Home Assistant and I must say I'm really impressed wit the UI and how easy some items are for configuring. Still I want to move forward and connect a GW and start connecting nodes, etc.

    In my current MySensors implementation I'm using Ethernet GW.

    Is there any plan to include this GW??

    Don't want to change all my installation before testing fully HA.

    Thanks!!

    Hi!

    Yes, I'm working on that. It's not quite finished but the main building blocks are ready. Needs some testing and polishing.

    It's on the top of my priority list of features, so I hope to release it very soon.



  • Cool!!!

    Sing me up for testing if you need more testers.

    Thanks for your reply!!

    Hi!

    I've just pushed a branch to my fork of home assistant on github with support for a tcp ethernet gateway. I would be very grateful if you can test this for some time, and let me know of any quirks, errors, improvement suggestions etc.

    If you want to do this, I advice you to install in a virtual environment or similar, to have a clean slate when getting dependencies, and to not interfere with your production install.

    Here's the link to the branch:
    https://github.com/MartinHjelmare/home-assistant/tree/mysensors-tcp-gateway

    You will have to modify the home assistant mysensors config. Here's an example:

    mysensors:
      gateways:
        - device: '/dev/ttyUSB0'
          persistence_file: 'path/mysensors.json'
          baud_rate: 38400
        - device: '/dev/ttyACM0'
          persistence_file: 'path/mysensors2.json'
          baud_rate: 115200
        - device: '192.168.1.10'
          persistence_file: 'path/mysensors3.json'
          tcp_port: 5003
      debug: true
      persistence: true
      version: '1.5'
    

    The third device in the config is the ethernet gateway. Device is required, tcp_port will default to 5003.

    One thing I think I need to tune, is the time-out between reading and writing attempts to the socket. Right now it feels kinda sluggish. So I'd like to shorten the time-out. Let me know what you notice in this regard, if it feels responsive or not.

    Oh, and everyone are welcome to test this. Please let me know if you do.



  • Hi @martinhjelmare

    If you can post or link to a howto, I have a fresh laptop with Fedora 23 to test this on. Never have used Github before, so I don't know the first thing of what to do.


  • Plugin Developer

    @drock1985

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




  • Plugin Developer

    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


  • Plugin Developer

    @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.



  • @martinhjelmare

    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.


  • Plugin Developer

    @drock1985

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



  • @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.


  • Plugin Developer

    @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?



  • @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.


  • Plugin Developer

    @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.


  • Plugin Developer

    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

    @drock1985

    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
    


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

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


  • Plugin Developer

    @drock1985

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



  • @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?


  • Plugin Developer

    @drock1985

    👍

    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.

  • Plugin Developer

    @drock1985

    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.



  • Hey @martinhjelmare,

    I finally got this working.

    I'm doing tests with a couple of multi-sensors (Temp, Hum, Light & motion). The discovery worked very well, no issue at all after following all the above steps.

    What I'm not seeing wotking are the updates. I always see the same values. I'm checking messages with MYSController and I see the GW is receiving the events and updates but I can't see new values showing in the portal.

    Still testing ...


  • Plugin Developer

    @Dave-Dan

    Do you mean that the sensors are not showing the latest values in the gui?

    If the last value from a sensor is the same as the previous value, a state change won't happen. So the value will be reported as being as old as the previous value. Could this explain what you see?



  • actually, I just got it working ...

    yes, I was referrring to that. The way I have built the sensor is that everytime a movement is detected is sending all sensors statuses to the GW. This sensors are designed to be plugged (no battery powered) so no concern on power consumption.

    I restarted the server and now updates are working.

    What I'm seeing in the log is constantly this message:
    16-03-14 10:39:53 INFO (Thread-9) [mysensors.mysensors] Permission denied when writing to /home/pi/dev/home-assistant/path/mysensors3.json

    If I'm not wrong this is the persistence.

    Apart of this I now see updates coming in ...


  • Plugin Developer

    Good!

    The path to the persistence file must exist, not the file itself, but the directory tree above, and hass should have write permission to it.

    I usually put the file in the same directory as configuration.yml.



  • Ok, couple of things that I'm seeing now.

    1. Everytime I restart the server the MySensor nodes are no longer in the system. I have to restart them to get them in again. All of them are in the persistence file.

    2. Now i can only have 1 node added.
      While in the persistence file I see multiple nodes, once I add one of them I can't add anymore. No error if fired (at least not that I've seen).


  • Plugin Developer

    @Dave-Dan

    Can you attach the persistence file here and post your config, and I'll take a look?



  • Sure!

    Consistence file:

    {"156": {"sketch_version": null, "children": {}, "battery_level": 0, "sketch_name": null, "type": 17, "sensor_id": 156}, "102": {"sketch_version": null, "children": {}, "battery_level": 0, "sketch_name": null, "type": 17, "sensor_id": 102}}
    

    the Configuration is very light. Actually is the by default config and i just added this to test MySensors:

    mysensors:
      gateways:
        - device: 192.168.1.X
          persistence_file: '/home/pi/.homeassistant/MSPersistence.json'
          tcp_port: 5003
      debug: true
      persistence: true
      version: '1.5'
    

    let me know if you need anything else.


  • Plugin Developer

    In the persistence file I can see two issues.

    Sketch name is null for both nodes.
    Both nodes don't have any children.

    Are you using a non default example sketch, if so can you post it?



  • hey Martin,

    that's correct, those are the 2 items I saw that was little curious about.

    The sketch I'm using, while custom, is a mix of different sketches that can be found in the MySensors page.

    As you'll see below, each node (which are identical) have all the information (Sketch name, version, etc). And all of them have 4 childs:
    - Ambient Humidity
    - Ambient Temperature
    - Ambient Light
    - Movement (Motion Sensor Trip).

    But I might have something wrong so ... happy to learn! 🙂

  • Hey @martinhjelmare

    Does the above reply to @drock1985 means that I can do a basic installation as per https://home-assistant.io/

    pip3 install homeassistant
    hass --open-ui
    

    followed by

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

    and will have a valid testing env without going into all the above steps of creating a virtualenv??

    If so I'd rather more this avenue because I can clean up everything with a new installation, install the zip and have a new testing env in minutes 🙂


  • Plugin Developer

    @Dave-Dan

    I can't see any big issues with your sketch, just one small:

    I guess this is a typo:

    #defin TEMP_CORRECTION 2
    

    Since your sketch looks ok, I think something must have gone wrong with the communication between node and gateway. Have you been monitoring the comm, with a serial monitor, on the node side for example, to make sure all messages are sent ok?


  • Plugin Developer

    @Dave-Dan

    The zip file you install from my github account, is the mysensors tcp gateway branch of home-assistant. So you shouldn't install home-assistant first, if you're going to install my branch.

    If you don't have any other version of home-assistant that you wish to keep, on the same computer, you can install my branch directly. You just have to make sure you uninstall it and remove ~/.homeassistant/lib before installing an update from me, if I commit some updates.

    Yeah, setting up a dev machine can be a hassle the first time, and not so useful if you're not developing with it.



  • @martinhjelmare

    thanks for the hint ... definetly a typo :$

    Yes, I'm monitoring the GW with MYSController as my GW is ethernet and I see all messages showing with no issue. But, I'll be happy to review again. 🙂


  • Plugin Developer

    @Dave-Dan

    Yes, please start from the beginning:

    Remove the persistence file
    Start hass
    Wait until you see that hass has (😄) connected to the gateway
    Start a node
    Start the next node

    If you can post the serial log from that here, and also the log from hass, that would be great.



  • @martinhjelmare

    Haven't had any issues with the sensors I have on my Dev unit; so far so good.

    Are you thinking of releasing the ethernet GW code in this weeks update?



  • @martinhjelmare

    Though I'm eager to try, I can't actually launch the Ethernet Gateway branch in a Windows environment. The best error I can provide is the generic failed to create process on calling hass. Platform is Windows Home Server 2011 running Python 3.5.1. All previous and current release branches of home assistant launch without error.

    Any thoughts or other steps I can take to debug it further?


  • Plugin Developer

    @drock1985

    Good to hear. Have you tried connecting more than one node to the gateway at the same time?

    Unfortunately I don't think it will make this release, cause I won't have time until Sunday, and the release might be finished before that. I will add some updates this weekend that you are welcome to try. After that we should be ready for release.


  • Plugin Developer

    @Andrew-Sanjanwala

    My experience with python on Windows is very limited. How do you normally start home assistant?



  • @martinhjelmare

    I typically launch either using hass or hass --open-ui from an administrative powershell session. No-go in either of these two cases.


  • Plugin Developer

    @Andrew-Sanjanwala

    Did you install directly from my github branch using pip?



  • Alright, false alarm. Root issue in my case was a faulty environment and/or operator that resulted in binaries being compiled for the wrong platform.

    Once corrected, it compiled and launched your branch and connected to the gateway without incident. Next up is experimenting with the nodes and actuators. I'll see if the persistence file can be written to.


  • Plugin Developer



  • Hey @martinhjelmare,

    I've been able to do some tests this time.

    From a Sensoring standpoint (retreive information from sensors to show in dashboard) works perfetly fine.

    I found the issue that I was referring before.

    Let's say you have already included a number of nodes and everything is working but for any reason you want to reset and start again. My logic was to remove the MSPersistance.json file, create a new one and the system will reconfigure again.

    What I'm seeing is that if you do that the system enters in a limbo situation where no nodes are added but those that were beforer are not added either. you can't see them in the dashboard nor in the Developers Tools section.

    Next step is to start testing relays, dimmers, etc.

    Let me know if you need more detils on the scenario.

    thanks!


  • Plugin Developer

    @Dave-Dan said:

    My logic was to remove the MSPersistance.json file, create a new one and the system will reconfigure again.

    Can you describe more in detail how you did this? Do you have an example persistence file before and after your modifications?



  • Sure!

    the persistence once I've added some nodes looks like this:

    {"104": {"sketch_version": "1.0", "children": {"0": {"id": 0, "values": {"1": "38.0"}, "type": 7}, "1": {"id": 1, "values": {"0": "22.0"}, "type": 6}, "2": {"id": 2, "values": {"23": "34"}, "type": 16}, "3": {"id": 3, "values": {"16": "0"}, "type": 1}}, "battery_level": 0, "sensor_id": 104, "type": 17, "sketch_name": "dyaSensor (HTLM)"}, "106": {"sketch_version": "1.0", "children": {"0": {"id": 0, "values": {"1": "37.0"}, "type": 7}, "1": {"id": 1, "values": {"0": "22.0"}, "type": 6}, "2": {"id": 2, "values": {"23": "5"}, "type": 16}, "3": {"id": 3, "values": {"16": "0"}, "type": 1}}, "battery_level": 9, "sensor_id": 106, "type": 17, "sketch_name": "dyaSensor (HTLM)"}, "156": {"sketch_version": null, "children": {}, "battery_level": 0, "sensor_id": 156, "type": 17, "sketch_name": null}, "101": {"sketch_version": "1.2", "children": {"0": {"id": 0, "values": {"1": "34.0"}, "type": 7}, "1": {"id": 1, "values": {"0": "21.0"}, "type": 6}, "2": {"id": 2, "values": {}, "type": 16}, "3": {"id": 3, "values": {"16": "0"}, "type": 1}}, "battery_level": 0, "sensor_id": 101, "type": 17, "sketch_name": "dyaSensor (HTLM) v1.2"}, "102": {"sketch_version": "1.0", "children": {"0": {"id": 0, "values": {"1": "36.0"}, "type": 7}, "1": {"id": 1, "values": {"0": "18.0"}, "type": 6}, "2": {"id": 2, "values": {"23": "69"}, "type": 16}, "3": {"id": 3, "values": {"16": "0"}, "type": 1}}, "battery_level": 2, "sensor_id": 102, "type": 17, "sketch_name": "dyaSensor (HTLM)"}}
    

    after my modification (meaning, clear everything) looks this way:

    {}
    

  • Plugin Developer

    @Dave-Dan

    Did you do it like this?

    1. Stop hass.
    2. Remove old persistence file.
    3. Create new persistence file with the same name and path, containing an empty JSON object, "{}".
    4. Start hass.
    5. Start node. Result: Messages are coming in to gateway, but node sensors are not added to entities nor shown in GUI.


  • Exactly that.

    maybe something to do with the fact that those items are already included in the DB (for history, etc) and the system can't add them again? (just guessing)

    One more thing.

    If I move the file and create a new one instead of deleting it. And after trying to add the items again I stop everything and restore the backup everything works again.


  • Plugin Developer

    @Dave-Dan

    I don't know yet, but I'll try to reproduce this and figure it out. Thanks for this report, and taking your time to test this.

    I haven't had time to push my latest commits, that I had planned. I want to just test them quickly on my side before I push. But since you experience this problem, I think it's best to troubleshoot this first, before I push any new commits.

    I'll post back here, once I have more info.



  • hey @martinhjelmare,

    would it be possible to have an updated compilation with the 0.16 versión? I think the one you have above is 0.15 still (or older, right?)

    I'd like to do more testing and integrate other items (for example the new Vera integration) with MySensors actuations, etc.

    thanks in advance.


  • Plugin Developer

    @Dave-Dan

    I'd like to investigate the issue you reported before I push any new commits or rebase off dev. Sorry to keep you waiting.



  • ahh, ok, makes sense.

    no problem at all! 🙂



  • @Dave-Dan

    out of curiosity, did you try a different name for the persistence file after deleting your first one, or did you use the same name?



  • hey @drock1985,

    No I didn't test that before, but I just did with the same results 😞

    I can see in the log how messages are arriving to HA (see below). It's just I can't see them either in the group I created for them or in the Developer Tools.

    16-03-31 09:42:37 DEBUG (Thread-20) [mysensors.mysensors] Received 101;1;1;0;0;20.0
    
    16-03-31 09:42:37 DEBUG (Thread-20) [mysensors.mysensors] Received 101;0;1;0;1;36.0
    
    16-03-31 09:42:37 DEBUG (Thread-20) [mysensors.mysensors] Received 101;3;1;0;16;0
    

    If I go back and restore the previous file I can see them on both the group and the Developer Tools section.

    @martinhjelmare, hope this helps as well ... is is there any specific test you want me to perform please let me know.


  • Plugin Developer

    @Dave-Dan

    I finally had some time to test this again. Sorry for the long delay.

    I followed the steps here:

  • hey Martin.

    Sorry, I've been traveling for a while.

    So I just rebuilt my environment and I can't repro the issue anymore.

    If you can't either and no one else is experiencing this I think we can close this down. My environment might be the only thing that is creating the issue.

    If the issue happen again I can update with the new information.


  • Plugin Developer

    @Dave-Dan

    Great! Then I'll move forward and push my latest changes to my github branch. I'll post here when that is done. You're welcome to test these by the update instructions above.

    If nothing comes up, my plan is to have this merged in the next release of home assistant.



  • Hi,

    I've also tested your pymysensors version with tcp gateway. I've had an excessive cpu usage on my pi Zero (actually, a constant 100%). After some debugging I've found that I've had to add a sleep of 0.2 to the while loop of the top socket readout. My cpu usage returned normal.

    What I've also encountered is that when the tcp gateway looses connection, pymysensors still thinks it's connected. I've buildin an active check by requesting the gateway version every 10 seconds.

    Would you like me to make a pull request ?


  • Plugin Developer

    @subutux

    Thanks for the feedback!

    I've got some commits that are not pushed yet with some changes, but a pull request should be good anyhow. Great!


  • Plugin Developer

    I've now pushed some updates to my ethernet gateway branch of pymysensors and rebased my home-assistant mysensors-tcp-gateway branch off latest upstream dev branch and pushed that to my github.

    To upgrade follow the instructions below.

    @martinhjelmare said:

    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

    @subutux

    Please rebase your pymysensors branch off my latest updates, before you make the PR. Thanks.


  • Plugin Developer

    @subutux

    I went ahead and added your fix for the 100% cpu usage. Although I settled for a very short 0.02 seconds. It was enough for my intel based processor. If you still experience problems and think we should increase it, let me know.

    Please make a PR for the check of the connection here https://github.com/theolind/pymysensors if you have time.

    My plan is to try and have this make the release of home assistant that is planned during this week. I think it should be good enough for a first version now. We can add polish for the next release.



  • Hi @martinhjelmare

    I see HA got released early, and that the ethernetgateway was added. I'll check it out later on tonight but, thanks again for all the work you do on the MySensors project.


  • Plugin Developer

    @drock1985

    Yeah, finally! I've been a bit disappointed with myself, that it took a long time and for not finishing this earlier, but now it feels good to have it merged. We still have to polish some things, like checking that the connection is still ok, so all feedback is very welcome and valuable.

    I need to update the docs at home-assistant.io, and then I might make a new post about the release.

    BIG THANKS to everyone that tested this:
    @drock1985
    @Dave-Dan
    @Andrew-Sanjanwala
    @subutux



  • @martinhjelmare As soon as i have the time (and clean up my code because it was a hack) i'll create a pull request. i've mine also at 0.02 and my (pi zero) CPU is now at around 8-10%.
