Newer version of Indigo 2022.x.x

[Vig]

I modified the code in SimpleSerial plugin, I think it should be python3 compatible.. how do I check if it works with 2022.2?

I had the same question and the answer was, to quote my good friend @autolog .

All scripts in Indigo 2022.1+ now use Python 3.
Internally, within a plugin, there is an info.plist file that contains a field (ServerApiVersion) that determines what Python version the plugin requires. If this API version is specified as 3.0 (or greaterin the future) it will use Python 3, otherwise (for the moment) Python2. Python 2 will be deprecated and|or not supported in Indigo 2022.2+.

Thanks CliveS, I was able to test the plugin. Doesn't seem to generate any errors with the obvious python3 syntax changes I made but unfortunately it didn't work. Something to do with the threads being prematurely closed.. Oh well..

@blauhaus -- shoot me a DM and I'll share a link to a beta of the Pioneer Receiver plugin that's been updated for Indigo 2022.1 and Python 3.

I‘m using the Pioneer plugin as well, the plugin is the reason I am still with 2021.x (I have a VSX-528 receiver).
Dave, would you mind to share the beta plugin? Should I DM you as well?
Thx in advance!

Did you try using Python2to3 on it, https://python2to3.com
I successfully used that to convert the adapters plugin but it could not handle the Honeywell TRV plugin and I don't think @nlagaros has been seen since last May so not sure to move over to Shelly TRV (waiting on feedback from @autolog and @siclark who both have them) or just not upgrade to the next release.

Thanks CliveS, no luck though, it didn't even catch "string.replace" new syntax. I will keep digging on my spare time.

I was finally able to get SimpleSerial working with python3. Upgraded the system to MacOS 13.1 and all worked as intended.

The Shelly ones seem to be significantly better then the zwave ones we've been using for a while. The USB C rechargeable battery seems to have more power than the AA powered zwave ones and they respond faster.
There is already one plugin that can control them and the Shelly MQTT one should hopefully soon too. Plus it's got MQTT built in so basics can be done without a plugin.
But I imagine the native experience of Honetwell Evohome is better than Shelly's app?

Evohome is fine but one TRV is playing up and being a cloud based system the EU server can go down for hours, sometimes longer. Spoke to Jon (@autolog) last night about Shelly and I think I will order one to play with when I get back from Oz next week.

Jumping on the bandwagon but if anyone in the UK fancies helping on the iTravel plug-in it would be appreciated . I had managed to keep it working until recently with my basic python but it’s now broken and migrating to 3 is beyond me.
Wasn’t a priority the last few years as we were all at home but as we commute more now bringing train status into the house automation is once again useful.

I will take a look and also I need the Honeywell plugin as well, that will be the last one for me as a barrier to future upgrades

Yes also hoping Honeywell Evohome will be updated but I don't hold out much hope, may have to look into Shelly TRV or just stick with this version of Indigo.

Hi Vig,

Thanks for your work on the plugin. However, for some reason it is not finding my Keyspan serial port.... Prior to the upgrade to Ventura the keyspan was working fine. I have upgraded the Keyspan Driver and the FTDI driver for Ventura.

And it does not show up?

Is it possible to specify a device? how would I get it to read correctly?

Hi Ham,
I don't believe it's a plugin issue. I don't think USA19H has a compatible chipset driver that works with Ventura. I had one and had to toss it when I upgraded to BigSur since it stopped working. Instead I got this one below and it works as intended.

[hamw]

ok thanks! I figured the same thing but bought a StarTech adapter instead. It does not seem to read that either.

Did you need to add a new driver set? I did upload the FTDI...

I'll order one of the ones you suggest.

[Vig]

Yes, I believe I had to install their driver. The driver comes on the disk or you can download it here

https://www.gearmo.com/shop/4-port-usb- ... ndicators/

The driver/version is FTDIUSBSerialDextInstaller_1_4_7
