Installation? #62

VoetenK · 2023-11-06T16:32:42Z

I have made many attempts to install the dali2mqtt.
I want to install it on a Raspberry Pi 4B with Linux Debian 12 (Bookworm) as the operating system.
I am working directly on my Raspberry Pi. (screen, keyboard) under the username "homeassistant". The Hasseb USB DALI Master in a USB port.
I do the installation in the folder home/homeassistant/.
When I run the instruction "venv/bin/python3 -m dali2mqtt.dali2mqtt", I get as a result the configuration of my DALI devices. I complete the rest of the installation.
The problem is that when I control or turn on or off my lights, I do not receive any messages in homeassistant.
Can you possibly list step by step how I should do the installation? Or can you explain the problem?

What about on the MQTT broker ? Do you see the messages being published there ?

VoetenK · 2023-11-06T18:14:15Z

Thanks for the quick response.
Before that I installed mosquitto-clients. ( sudo apt-get install mosquitto-clients)
This shows online and when I send a message (topic: "dali2mqtt" payload: 75") in Node Red it arrives at the terminal. In Node Red I also get a reply back .

Terminal:

homeassistant@debianha:~/dali2mqtt$ mosquitto_sub -L mqtt://mqttuser:******@192.168.0.8:1883/dali2mqtt/#       
online
75

Node Red:
6/11/2023 19:09:55node:445dcbdea289ef13
dali2mqtt : msg : Object

_msgid: "ee5cbdeb24e112d5"

qos: 2

So far it does work??

dgomes · 2023-11-06T20:20:54Z

OK and you have MQTT integration in HA configured properly ?

BTW:

$ mosquitto_sub -h 192.168.0.8 -u mqttuser -P ****** -t dali2mqtt/# -v

and

$ mosquitto_sub -h 192.168.0.8 -u mqttuser -P ****** -t homeassistant/light/# -v

return what ?

VoetenK · 2023-11-06T21:04:50Z

As far as I can judge, yes. I use Mosquitto broker in Home Assistant to use https://github.com/Chibald/maestrogateway. This one works, but.

homeassistant@debianha:/$ mosquitto_sub -v -t "#" -u mqttuser -P ******
homeassistant/status offline
dali2mqtt/status online

$ homeassistant@debianha:/$ mosquitto_sub -h 192.168.0.8 -u mqttuser -P ******* -t dali2mqtt/# -v
dali2mqtt/status online

$ homeassistant@debianha:/$ mosquitto_sub -h 192.168.0.8 -u mqttuser -P ******* -t homeassistant/light/# -v
Connection error: Connection Refused: not authorized.

How can I resolve this?

dgomes · 2023-11-06T22:07:43Z

pretty sure you should not have "not authorised"...

but homeassistant looks like it's not connected to MQTT Broker :/ ?

VoetenK · 2023-11-06T22:31:22Z

homeassistant@debianha:~$ sudo systemctl enable homeassistant.service
Failed to enable unit: Unit file homeassistant.service does not exist.

I don't understand what's wrong.
Can you explain to me how to fix this?

that's probably your HA Add-on configuration... besides that you need to actually configure HA to use it (follow the documentation)

This is getting out of topic :) you better resort to community.home-assistant.io

I found and solved the problem of this.

VoetenK · 2023-11-08T16:26:04Z

I started from scratch with a clean Linux operating system. Attached you will find the full course of dali2mqtt installation.
mss you can find a problem in this?

I still have the problem that when I turn off or dim a lamp I receive no message in my mqtt client.
Messages sent with Node Red do pass.

Do you have any sugessties?

dgomes · 2023-11-08T16:53:01Z

can you execute dali2mqtt with debug messages ?

Well something did not go as expected because I'm missing the DEBUG messages...

Can you activate the vent and run:

$ LOGLEVEL="DEBUG" python3 -m dali2mqtt.dali2mqtt

open the file "dali2mqtt.py" and change "INFO" to "DEBUG"

Okay, I have discovered something.
My lights at address 0 and 1 appeared as entity. :-) I can switch these on and off and control them here.
It also shows a group with address 0. I cannot control this one.
I created this groups with a Tridonic DALI USB device.
I will first experiment with this.
What I find strange is that I can control the lights with my Tridonic but I see no reaction in Home Assistant.
Am I doing something wrong here.

dgomes · 2023-11-08T20:44:00Z

dali2mqtt is crashing... so nothing can happen

Again... no debug messages...

dgomes · 2023-11-08T21:19:08Z

BTW... you could replicate DALI groups in HA

(Deleting the DALI Group would probably fix the issue at hand)
