domoticz-plugin-tinkerforge-trafficlight's Introduction

domoticz-plugin-tinkerforge-trafficLight

Domoticz plugin to explore how to interact with Tinkerforge Building Blocks.

Objectives

  • To set the color of a Tinkerforge RGB Bricklet to red, yellow or green using a Domoticz Selector Switch Device.
  • To learn how to write generic Python plugin(s) for the Domoticz Home Automation System.
  • To learn how to interact with Tinkerforge Building Blocks.
  • To use this sample plugin as a template for other Domoticz plugins interacting with Tinkerforge Building Blocks.

Abbreviations: GUI=Domoticz Web UI.

Solution

A Domoticz Python plugin "Tinkerforge Traffic Light" with a Tinkerforge RGB LED Bricklet. The Tinkerforge RGB LED Bricklet is connected to a Tinkerforge Master Brick. The Master Brick has been tested with direct USB connection to the Raspberry Pi and with the Master Brick WiFi extension.

The traffic light color is set using a Domoticz device Selector Switch with 3 buttons RED, YELLOW and GREEN. Selecting a color, will

  • set the RGB LED bricklet color
  • update the Alert device to the level associated with the color (1=green, 2=yellow, 4=red)
  • set the text of the Text device (used to indicate changes), i.e. "Traffic Light changed from 10 to 30" which means color has changed from RED to GREEN - see below devices information)

If a color is changed, the plugin makes an IP connection, updates the Tinkerforge RGB LED bricklet and Domoticz devices, disconnects from IP. There is no ongoing IP connection after the bricklet starts (either during Domoticz start or if the plugin gets updated or added first time). For other Domoticz Plugins using Tinkerforge building block an ongoing connection is established where bricklet callbacks are used, i.e. IO-4 or LCD 20x4 bricklet etc..

Domoticz Devices

The Domoticz devices (Type;SubType;switchType) created are:

  • State Selector - Set the traffic light color RED, YELLOW or GREEN Selector Switch (Light/Switch;Selector Switch;Selector) with settings Hide Off Level; Selector Level 10 = RED, 20 = YELLOW, 30 = GREEN.
  • Alert Indicator - Reflects the traffic light state (General;Alert)
  • Status - Show the latest change or any error condition (General;Text)

After adding the hardware and changing the color, the Domoticz devices lists the 3 devices (Idx,Hardware,Unit,Name,Type,SubType,Data): 99,TrafficLight,000E0003,3,TrafficLight - Status,General,Text,Traffic Light changed from 10 to 30 98,TrafficLight,000E0002,2,TrafficLight - Alert Indicator,General,Alert,GREEN 97,TrafficLight,000E0001,1,TrafficLight - State Selector,Light/Switch,Selector Switch,Set Level: 30 %

Plugin Configuration

  • Address: IP address of the host connected to. Default: 127.0.0.1 (localhost for USB connection else use Master Brick WiFi extension)
  • Port: Port used by the host. Default: 4223
  • UID: Unique identifier of RGB LED Bricklet 2.0. Obtain the UID via the Brick Viewer. Default: Jng

Setup Tinkerforge and Domoticz

Tinkerforge Python API bindings

sudo pip3 install tinkerforge

Check if the Tinkerforge Python API bindings are installed in folder: /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages Note Check the version of "python3" in the folder path. This could also be python 3.7 or other.

Tinkerforge Master Brick and Bricklets

Ensure the Master Brick and Bricklets are running with the latest firmware. See APPENDIX Tinkerforge - Master Brick and Bricklets.

Traffic Light Prototype

Build the prototype by connecting the Tinkerforge building blocks (see hardware). Connect the Master Brick to a device running the Brick Deamon and Viewer. Summary steps to setup the Tinkerforge building blocks using the Tinkerforge Brick Viewer.

  • Update the devices firmware
  • Set the WiFi master extension fixed IP address in client mode
  • Obtain the UID's of the Tinkerforge bricklets as required by the Python plugin

After setting up the Tinkerforge building blocks, reset the master brick and check if the master brick can be reached via WLAN:

ping tf-wifi-ext-ip-address

For USB connection, use IP address: 127.0.0.1

Domoticz Plugin Folder and File

mkdir /home/pi/domoticz/plugins/tftrafficlight

As a starter, take the template from here. Save as plugin.py in the folder /home/pi/domoticz/plugins/tftrafficlight

Python Plugin Path to Tinkerforge API Bindings

In the Python Plugin code (plugin.py) amend the import path to enable using the Tinkerforge API Bindings:

from os import path
import sys
sys.path
sys.path.append('/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages')

Development Setup

Development PC:

  • Thonny to develop the Python Plugin
  • A shared drive Z: is defined pointing to /home/pi/domoticz
  • GUI > Setup > Log
  • GUI > Setup > Hardware
  • GUI > Setup > Devices
  • WinSCP session connected to the Domoticz server
  • Putty session connected to the Domoticz server

The GUI's are required to add the new hardware with its device and monitor if the plugin code is running without errors.

Development Iteration

The development process step used are:

  1. Thonny develop z:\plugins\trafficlight\plugin.py
  2. Make changes and save plugin.py
  3. Restart Domoticz from Terminal: sudo service domoticz.sh restart
  4. Wait a moment and refresh GUI > Log
  5. Check the log and fix as required

!IMPORTANT! In the GUI Setup > Settings, enable accepting new hardware. This is required to add the new hardware with its device and monitor if the plugin code is running without errors.

Domoticz Web UI's

Open GUI Setup > Hardware, GUI Setup > Log, GUI Setup > Devices This is required to add the new hardware with its device and monitor if the plugin code is running without errors.

Create the plugin

The plugin has a mandatory filename plugin.py located in the created plugin folder /home/pi/domoticz/plugins/tftrafficlight For Python development Thonny, running on a Windows 10 device, is used.

See APPENDIX Domoticz Python Plugin Code (well documented).

Domoticz Devices created and set as used.

Domoticz.Device(Name="State Selector", Unit=1, TypeName="Selector Switch",  Options=Options, Used=1).Create()            
Domoticz.Device(Name="Alert Indicator", Unit=2, TypeName="Alert", Used=1).Create()
Domoticz.Device(Name="Status", Unit=3, TypeName="Text", Used=1).Create()

The devices are manually added to the Domoticz Dashboard.

Handling the state change of the Traffic Light Selector Switch is done by the onCommand function. This function updates the state of the Domoticz Devices: State Selector (idx=13), Alert Indicator (idx=14), Status (idx=15).

Pseudo Code

  • FIRST TIME: onStart to create the Domoticz Devices
  • NEXT TIME(S): onCommand to handle state changes
    • Domoticz make IP connection to the Tinkerforge Master Brick
    • Get the Level of the Domoticz Device "State Selector" (Selector Switch)
    • Update the Tinkerforge Bricklet RGB LED with the new color depending Level
    • Update the Domoticz Devices "Alert Indicator" and "Status"
    • Domoticz to disconnect from the Tinkerforge Master Brick

Note Function onHeartbeat is not used as not polling for the state of a Tinkerforge Bricklet and update Domoticz Device(s) accordingly.

Restart Domoticz

Restart Domoticz to find the plugin:

sudo systemctl restart domoticz.service

Note When making changes to the Python plugin code, ensure to restart Domoticz and refresh any of the Domoticz Web UI's.

Domoticz Add Hardware Traffic Light

IMPORTANT Prior adding, set GUI Setup > Settings > Hardware, the option to allow new hardware. If this option is not enabled, no new soilmoisture device is created. Check the Domoticz Log as error message Python script at the line where the new device is used (i.e. Domoticz.Debug("Device created: "+Devices[1].Name))

Add Hardware - Check the Domoticz Log

After adding,ensure to check the Domoticz Log. Example:

The Tinkerforge Python API bindings are required, installed using pip3. Pip3 installs the bindings in a common dist-packages folder, which is on the Raspberry Pi Domoticz Server, folder:

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages

Running pip3:

sudo pip3 install tinkerforge

Log Output:

Collecting tinkerforge
Installing collected packages: tinkerforge
Successfully installed tinkerforge-2.1.22

The Tinkerforge Python API bindings are installed in folder:

/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages

Check the content results in two folders, from which the folder tinkerforge is required

ls /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages
tinkerforge tinkerforge-2.1.22.dist-info

IMPORTANT Depending setup of the Python distributed packages, following steps are required. Check the folder /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages if there are more distributed packages. If thats the case, then leave the next steps out.

Copy the content of the folder /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/tinkerforge to folder /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/tinkerforge, because all the Python distributed packages are located in folder /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/:

sudo cp -r /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/tinkerforge /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages

Check the content of the dist-packages folder tinkerforge:

ls /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/tinkerforge
brick_dc.py bricklet_led_strip.py brick_hat.py bricklet_led_strip_v2.py ...

Remove the dist-packages folders:

sudo rm -r /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/tinkerforge
sudo rm -r /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/tinkerforge-2.1.22.dist-info
ls /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages
