Setting up the plugin

[rgspb]

So I followed the instructions and was able to create the MyLink device and a motor. That's it, I'm not sure what to do now. There's no up or down or anything to do with it. I can share screen shots if you like, just not sure what comes next.

Hi.

You should be able to create a Somfy Manager Action > Up, Down, Stop or Read.

Not sure what Read does but it's in there

Ah, ok! Here's what I got when I set up one shade to move up:

OK figured part of this out. Where the Plugin asks for the "MyLink Password" it actually needs to be the name of the "System ID". Plugged that in and it worked.

[rgspb]

And..."Stop" is not really stop but the "Favorite" position that you've set using the Somfy remote.

[howartp]

With all (most?) Somfy products, Stop and Favourite (aka “My”) are the same button.

If the blind is moving, stop should stop it.

All those keepalives are interesting. I hacked an action together with Python and telnetlib (thanks @norcoscia) to get my one Somfy Roman shade working with Indigo via a MyLink, but it was timing out fairly often. After about a month of pinging several folks at Somfy, they finally deemed me to be someone they were willing to share their API with. I was hoping I would find something in there to help me figure out why it sometimes wouldn't work, but I didn't find anything.

I eventually improved the situation dramatically by running a little shell script in the background that pings the MyLink on the appropriate port once a minute. Is that what you are doing with the keepalive?

As soon as I have time, I plan to switch to your plugin.

Mike

[howartp]

It’s so long since I started this one, I’ve no idea how much I wrote and how much I stole, but I’m sure I wouldn’t have put so many keepalives in like that.

I’ll be back to Indigo next month.

How are you both doing with the plugin, if at all?

I'm kinda looking at my plugins at the moment so if you need any help, let me know.

[gt3mike]

Hi Peter,

I'm still using a Python call from an Indigo action in conjunction with a persistent ping via a shell script. It works about 95% of the time, so I haven't fooled with it. That said, I'd be happy to try something if it would help you mature your plugin..

Best regards,
Mike

Let me know what you have and i'll have a look.

I have an R28 RTS Roller Shade and a MyLink (the newer one)..

Sorry, I meant let me know what code you have/are using.

[gt3mike]

Ah, gotcha. I'll have to look that up when I'm back home after the weekend.

[gt3mike]

My action command for up (down is similar) is

Code: Select all

import telnetlib
payload = '{ "id":1, "method": "mylink.move.up", "params": { "auth": "somfy", "targetID" : "XXXXXXXXXX.X} }'
tn = telnetlib.Telnet ("192.168.0.123", "44100", 3)
# Write the JSON payload
tn.write(payload)
# Close the connection
tn.close()

and my script that I keep running in a Terminal window is

Code: Select all

while true
#do date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
do printf "`date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"` "
if `nc -G 5 -w 2 192.168.0.123 44100`; then echo 'SUCCESS'; else echo 'FAIL'; fi
sleep 60
done
