Failed connection with Glow IHD/CAD

I think I have followed the installation instructions for this plugin and the MQTT connector but I can't get to the connected state, showing disconnected 1. What is odd is that by using all the same connection settings I am able to subscribe to the correct topics using MQTT Explorer. Any thoughts on what I might be missing.

Colin,
I took a look at my working config vs the documentation and it does match, and as you say the connection settings are working. I just upgraded the MQTT connector just in case that made a difference, as I wasn't running the latest version.

This part just worked for me, have you tried turning on debugging in the MQTT connector ?

Thanks,
Neil

Try this version: https://github.com/FlyingDiver/Indigo-M ... tag/0.4.10

I haven't pushed it to the Plugin Store yet.

Hi Joe, I've just installed the new version without anymore success. If I turn on debugging and start the device i get the following:

Code: Select all

MQTT Connector                  GlowCAD: Starting Device
   MQTT Connector Debug            GlowCAD: Device is current version: 0
   MQTT Connector Debug            GlowCAD: Broker __init__ address = glowmqtt.energyhive.com, port = 8883, protocol = 4, transport = tcp

But I also get a whole load of messages relating to other devices as well, and I don't know if this is normal. eg

Code: Select all

MQTT Connector Debug            Marantz Dining Room: deviceUpdated: doExcludes = False, listedDevice = False
   MQTT Connector Debug            Marantz Dining Room: deviceUpdated: id = 1335276115, devList = published_devices : (list)
   MQTT Connector Debug            Marantz Dining Room: deviceUpdated: doExcludes = False, listedDevice = False
   MQTT Connector Debug            Marantz Dining Room: deviceUpdated: id = 1335276115, devList = published_devices : (list)
   MQTT Connector Debug            Marantz Dining Room: deviceUpdated: doExcludes = False, listedDevice = False
   MQTT Connector Debug            Marantz Dining Room: deviceUpdated: id = 1335276115, devList = published_devices : (list)
   MQTT Connector Debug            Marantz Dining Room: deviceUpdated: doExcludes = False, listedDevice = False
   MQTT Connector Debug            Marantz Dining Room: deviceUpdated: id = 1335276115, devList = published_devices : (list)


This occurs when I turn on Marantz AV receiver..
Any pointers to what I have done wrong?

Colin

That log just means the "Marantz Dining Room" device is updating multiple times. I don't know what that device actually is, so I can't say why it's doing that. But it's not anything wrong, specifically.

If you're actually getting an error, it's somewhere else in the log.

...and relax.. Bit embarrased but the reason it wasn't working was a space after the username. Onwards!

Cheers
Colin

Let me know how you get on, and if you want to see any more capability in the plugin. Be interested in your feedback.

...and relax.. Bit embarrased but the reason it wasn't working was a space after the username. Onwards!

In the Connector plugin device login field? I should probably do a strip on those to get rid of leading and trailing spaces.

Hi Joe, yes I had cut and pasted my username into the login field, along with a space. Not the first time I've done that..

:D Let me know how you get on, and if you want to see any more capability in the plugin. Be interested in your feedback.

After the euphoria of getting the MQTT part going I now turned to the Historical data from the data. After setting up the GlowCAD plugin with my Bright Credentials and adding a daily Consumption device I don't get the "resource Type" field being populated, so I presume that I'm not getting connected to the API correctly , debug message is

Code: Select all

Started plugin "GlowmarktCAD 0.0.13"
   GlowmarktCAD Debug              Starting device: GlowCAD
   GlowmarktCAD Debug              Starting device: new device 1

   GlowmarktCAD Error              exception in deviceStartComm(new device 1): 'key  not found in dict'
   GlowmarktCAD Debug              Starting concurrent thread


I'm getting the historic data from the Bright app.
Any thoughts?
BTW Thanks for putting the work into this plugin. I was reluctant to install a smart meter thinking that I would lose the ability to monitor energy usage as I wanted. But with this plugin and FlyingDivers MQTT work I felt more confident in doing it. Also Top marks for the Glowmarkt support, very impressed..

Colin,
It looks like you are authenticated ok as it has picked up the token, and I validate the credentials in the plugin config screen so if you were able to successfully close it you should be connected to the API OK. A couple of questions :-

- Do you have a gas smart meter as well as electric (I have both so cannot test with just an electricity meter)

- Any other errors if you restart the plugin, or when you configure the consumption device


I will dig into the code as it has been a while, I may need to get a version for you with some specific logging if I cannot figure it out.

Apologies for this, it has only had a small number of users up until now.


Thanks,
Neil

Absolutely no need to apologise. I have both Electric and Gas smart meters, here's the debug messages when I reload the plug-in. New device 1 is the daily consumption device I'm trying to set-up.

Code: Select all

GlowmarktCAD Debug              Starting device: GlowCAD

   GlowmarktCAD Error              exception in deviceStartComm(new device 1): 'key  not found in dict'
   GlowmarktCAD Debug              Starting concurrent thread


Thanks - I now remember how this works. I think you already have debugging enabled, but if you do, and then you open and save the plugin configuration you should see something like this in the log

The error comes from the fact that the resource type is not being populated in the device configuration, which shouldn't happen. If you can try that (I am most interested in what follows the "Getting Resources" line.
You can obscure the token info and email addresses (I just noticed I hadn't and edited it)

Thanks,
Neil

Morning Neil
Looking at the log I sent last night and the fact that its showing twice the number of resources that you were expecting it occurred to me that I have two CAD devices, one supplied by Bulb and one by Glowmarkt, both of which are hooked up to my bright App.
