AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'replace' about tdm

Hi.

Please use the development version. It's been largely rewritten and soon will be released as 0.2

Hi,

Tried the dev version. Could start it once, nothing was detected, the only thing I could do was disconnect the mqtt server but couldn't start it again (I think as there is no manual).

So I closed the program and tried to start it again, but after a second it closed itself with the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "tdm.py", line 243, in mqtt_connected
self.mqtt_subscribe()
File "tdm.py", line 265, in mqtt_subscribe
self.mqtt.subscribe([(topic, 0) for topic in self.topics])
File "D:\PlatformIO\Projects\HOMEAUT_folder\tdm\Util\mqtt.py", line 134, in subscribe
self.m_client.subscribe(path)
File "C:\Users\wille\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\lib\site-packages\paho\mqtt\client.py", line 1311, in subscribe
raise ValueError('Invalid subscription filter.')
ValueError: Invalid subscription filter.

So, how to solve this?

[jziolkowski]

please paste your tdm.cfg and devices.cfg files

Hi,

don't have devices.cfg, only tdm.cfg:

[General]
hostname=192.168.45.50
port=1883
username=xxx
password=xxx
connect_on_startup=true
client_id=PVCJC1
version=0.2.0
window_geometry="@bytearray(\x1\xd9\xd0\xcb\0\x3\0\0\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xf8\0\0\x6@\0\0\x3\\0\0\x1,\0\0\0y\0\0\x5U\0\0\x2\xe2\0\0\0\0\x2\0\0\0\x6@\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\x17\0\0\x6?\0\0\x3[)"

[Devices]

[Patterns]
0=TASMOTA/#/%prefix%/%topic%/
1=TASMOTA/#/%topic%/%prefix%/

That's all in tdm.cfg (changed username and password}.

Should I change or remove anything?

[jziolkowski]

These patterns are bad. You should write there fulltopics EXACTLY as you have configured them in Tasmota. Do you have "TASMOTA/#/%prefix%/%topic%/" as fulltopic for your devices?

Remove these two lines and start over.

[jziolkowski]

My guess is you just need a "TASMOTA/%prefix%/%topic%/" as the pattern.

[mijnmodelbaan]

My topic is 'TASMOTA/%06X/' so TASMOTA followed by the device name.
My full topic is '%topic%/%prefix%/' so this will result in 'TASMOTA/[devname]/%prefix%/'.

I removed the lines you mentioned and started over. The program is running, I added the line '%topic%/%prefix%/' in the pattern field but nothing is discovered at all.

Do I have to put some other settings in, somewhere? Or is it just not working this way w/o modification?

[jziolkowski]

Ahh, ok. Your tastmota settings are wrong. You don't add things like / to topic.

If you want to have tasmota devices not in the "root" of your mqtt, then add TASMOTA to the beginning of FullTopic.

So, in Tasmota devices:
Topic = %06X
FullTopic = TASMOTA/%topic%/%prefix%/

In TDM, add this fulltopic pattern. It should work then.

[mijnmodelbaan]

Changed it like you said and after restarting tdm 2 devices were discovered. After another restart a 3rd device was discovered. So it's working but not flawlessly, some more work for you to do ;)

Found another small problem: the close button of the timer settings is not working. I open the settings, make no changes, push close w/o avail. Have to use the X.

But altogether it looks good. When will it be available in 'master'?

[jziolkowski]

Yes, there are still some bugs to hunt, I'm sure. Glad it works now.

Thanks for the tip about the button, must've overlooked action binding.

When? Great question. Soon (tm) :) Stay tuned.

[mijnmodelbaan]

I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks for the help!
