Home Assistant Community Store support

[rsnodgrass]

• Added Home Assistant Community Store (HACS) support for installation and automatic updates
• Updated README with HACS installation information, consistent titles, MIT license shield, etc

[rsnodgrass]

This has also been updated to meet HA's new manifest requirements, and switch from the deprecated SwitchDevice.

Thanks for doing this, was worried about this component breaking with upcoming versions of HA.

This would be really useful if merged.

How do I install this through HACS? I can't get HACS to see it.

[rsnodgrass]

@Godis1coolguy this has to be merged by @gbealmer for you to be able to add it. Then you just need to add the repository to HACS: https://github.com/gbealmer/pyecoplug

Hi! We've been working on getting this to work with 240v plug that runs on the IOS ECO Plugs app.

We used this git with both the HACS and Manual method but can't get it to show up as a device or integration on the integration page.

With the HACS method, we added the repo and installed the Ecoplugs, but nothing shows up after this.

With the manual method, when we add the following the configuration.yaml, we get an error when request to restart the system that it cannot be restarted due to the ecoplugs integration.

`switch:

• platform: ecoplug
  scan_interval: 10`

Hi there, same here.
@zvaligura has the same issue I have.
Adding the repo using HACS. Reboot. Nothing happens.
Checking the custom_component folder, everything is OK.
Adding
`switch:

platform: ecoplug
scan_interval: 10to config.yaml creates an issue : The system cannot restart because the configuration is not valid: Platform error switch.ecoplug - Integration 'ecoplug' not found.
Traceback (most recent call last):

I am running this version and it's working perfectly for me. (Pool is open so I can pull logs, compare setup, etc.)

Trying to delete the custom_component, reboot, re-install, reboot :) Old same way !
Will keep you posted

[IMNotMax]

No luck, clean install via HACS, nothing happens (no device detected) and adding this to configuration.yaml
switch:

• platform: ecoplug
  scan_interval: 10

Block restart with this error

And all the files are in the directory.

I'm using HAS on a raspberrypi 4, latest version available
Home Assistant 2023.4.6
Supervisor 2023.04.1
Operating System 10.1
Frontend 20230411.1 - latest

[rsnodgrass]

NOTE: This is not supported by me. This needs to be merged by @gbealmer.

OR someone can do a new fork of this and start supporting it.

[IMNotMax]

I'll Open an issue.
Thanx

[cscoppafox]

I'll Open an issue. Thanx

Perhaps because you're on a Pi, I'm on Unraid running HA in Docker with a 64 bit CPU. Can maybe try this (shot in the dark)

EDIT: See comment below mine for a working fork. https://github.com/zvaligura/pyecoplug

[zvaligura]

I was able to fork off it and get it stable and working.

Ah, I see what you did ... CLEVER!

homeassistant-projects/pyecoplug@master...zvaligura:pyecoplug:master

[IMNotMax]

Just a question, where the packages are installed ?
I tried with the fork from @zvaligura and I don't have error messages (yeaah) but no device showed. On every other integration import scripts are in the same directory. This fork uses a package located elsewhere to make the discovery. And I think it's the root of my issue.
do you think it's a clue ? Or I'm more than noob (I am btw :) )

rsnodgrass/pyecoplug@master...zvaligura:pyecoplug:master

BTW, if in the switch.py script, calling discovery function is by importing this :
from pyecoplug import EcoDiscovery

Shoulnd'nt have been the same in the discovery.py to import EcoPlug?
This from pyecoplug import EcoPlug instead of from .plug import EcoPlug ?

just saying ;)

I’m a total noob as well. I had to add in the config.yaml lines, (platform: switch etc) to get it to load each time my rasp pi started up. The switch just showed up in my entities with the name I set in the eco plug app itself (iOS).

[IMNotMax]

I will try to merge some code and give feedback here.
Testing is one off the best way to learn they say :)

[IMNotMax]

Ok, I don't know how, but after multiple test, install uninstall, change code, reboot... I found some answers and automagically my eco plug devices appeared with @zvaligura code https://github.com/zvaligura/pyecoplug .

below what I understood.
I found in HASSIO how to SSH the supervisor and I found out why having a python package is important.
Links To SSH the root to format ext4 USB Drive and name it CONFIG

`most of linux formatted HD are with ext3, ext4 . thus,

check the lable first sudo e2label <device> and rename sudo e2label <device> <label>. Note: 16 characters maximum.`

The python package is outside the docker container, thus there is no network interface between the py package and the eco plug switches. Inside the docker container, the docker networking should block the discovery (not the same subnet). That's why you need the package basically.

Made some tests to import correctly the plug.py in the discovery.py without success. @zvaligura, you have a good workaround by merging the 2 files.

I have Eco Plug TM-050B devices, and now they are manageable in HomeAssistant and in HomeKit
