A Kodi/xbmc plugin to control openHab

[Enis Hoca]

I discovered this quite by accident googling around, looks like some French university students have made a pretty decent GUI to control openhab from within xmbc/kodi.  I think its a brilliant idea, hate looking for the phone at night.

Anyway I have dusted it off, made it compatible with the latest version of Kodi and some minor changes on wording that I found confusing.

Here is the link to the github page https://github.com/enishoca/openhab-kodi

Introduction

This is a Kodi (formerly known as xbmc) plugin for Openhab. It allows users to control Openhab from within the Kodi environment. The orignal project was created for xmbc originally created by a group RICM5 2014 students. The original page in French is located herehttp://air.imag.fr/index.php/Extensions_XBMC.

The code as it stands now is compatible with the Kodi (Helix) the current version at the time of writing this.

Installation and Usage

1. Download the current version or alternatively click on the the zip file link above - then right click on 'View Raw' link and save the file.
   
2. install it as you would normally install Kodi addons. You will need to go in the setings menu and change the default settings for the addon to match your installation.

e.g.

1. Server IP address : 127.0.0.1
2. Server port : 8080
3. Sitemap name : default
4. Start page : default

Hi Enis,

I tried this but didn't have much luck. What does the 'Start Page' setting refer to? 

Regards,

Ben

[Enis Hoca]

do this

from a browser go to http://openhabserver:port/rest for me http://pi:8080/rest

from here you should see a line like this  

    <link type="sitemaps">http://pi:8080/rest/sitemaps</link>

This a link for sitemaps -- Browse to this link in a browser, you will see the top level sitemaps list - I have only one so here is what I get

 

    <sitemaps>

    <sitemap>

    <name>default</name>

    <label>My Home</label>

    <link>http://pi:8080/rest/sitemaps/default</link>

    <homepage>

     <link>http://pi:8080/rest/sitemaps/default/default</link>

     <leaf>false</leaf>

    </homepage>

    </sitemap>

    </sitemaps>

This is the key line

    <homepage>

       <link>http://pi:8080/rest/sitemaps/xxx/yyy</link>

Sitemap = xxx

Start page = yyy

So for me 

Sitemap = default

Start page = default

If you have the demo sitemap still installed you can also use demo/demo

This yyy comes from the first line in the sitemap file e.g.

     sitemap yyy label="My Home"  

I think its the sitemap name is supposed to be optional but they are using this in this addin so I guess if you don't have it you should add it. 

I don't know enough python and xbmc addin development to fix this 

Hope this helps

[Ben Jones]

Ah - I think I know what the problem might be - I have security enabled for both INTERNAL/EXTERNAL - so I can't access anything, including the REST API, without authentication.

From what I could tell your plugin does not support authentication?

Go to that link -> here you will see your top level site maps - for me it looks like this

    <name>default</name>

     <link>http://pi:8080/rest/sitemaps/default/default</link>

     <leaf>false</leaf>

    </homepage>

    </sitemap>

    </sitemaps>

This is the key line

    <link>http://pi:8080/rest/sitemaps/default/default</link>

   

the first identifier after "sitemaps/" goes in sitemap

the second identifier goes in startpage 

I am not quite sure where the second identifier comes from or what its called, could find its name in the docs.  It was called id in the original addin, I had to debug the code to figure out what they were looking for.

hope this helps.

my settings are

Hi Enis.

I was excited to try this.

Unfortunately I am not having any luck with it.

In the Kodi log I keep getting:

ERROR: GetDirectory - Error getting plugin://script.module.openhab/

ERROR: CGUIMediaWindow::GetDirectory(plugin://script.module.openhab/) failed

Any ideas?

[Enis Hoca]

What version of Kodi are you on ? and which OS?  

can also put a few lines above and below this somewhere also it would help if your turned on debugging and got a more detailed log.

I will try to add some more debugging to help locate the source of the issue and post it here

[Enis Hoca]

yeah this addin doesnt support auth - I am not ready to call it my add-in yet,  since i just borrowed code and got it to work with pretty minor tweaking, unfortunatley know very little about xbmc programming

[Ben Jones]

No problem.

[Greg]

Sure, I will turn on debugging and report a more detailed log.

I'm currently using Kodi 14.2 on OpenELEC 5.0.7.

[Greg]

Debug doesn't report much more:

Hi all. I don't have security enabled (just external), and Openhab its on the same RPI (I left 127.0.0.1) I followed the steps to know the sitemap and start page (are both default), and I get "An error occured" when I try to start the plugin.

 

Im working with last Raspbian + Last Kodi.

 

Any help?

 

Regards

[Manuel Carlos Rodriguez]

Same problem with openelec 5.0.8

Does it work for anyone ? 

I wonder if there is someone with better xbmc expertise who can help.

I have not had any luck yet, but have tried some ideas.

When installing the original script get: Dependencies not met.
When installing your updated script I get: Incorrect structure.

I will try and do some homework and see if there is something simple to tweek. Anyone else have ideas?

[Enis Hoca]

when you say incorrect stucture what do you mean?

BTW if you want me to add you to the github project so you can make mods let me know.  We should start with putting a lot of debug logging in the code so we can figure out what the failures are.

When installing into Kodi, a message flashed at the bottom right of Kodi that stated incorrect structure. I took it to mean the the zip was structured incorrectly, but am unsure. It only flashed up for a second.

I have however found that if I use incorrect Startpage or sitemap the error changes from: 'An Error Occured' to: 'File or directory not found'. So something is working for sure.

[Enis Hoca]

There is an unpdated version of the addin available on Github.  

I have fixed the structure issues and added quite a bit of debug logging, also added a setting to turn on debugging.

if you guys want to try out the addin please download it again -

[Manuel Carlos Rodriguez]

Hi Enis,

Thanks for your effort. I just downloaded version 1.0.1 and got a problem with the package structure if I get the link from the file list. Instead, if I download from the link in the instructions it works (at least I can install).

When I started the addon, I got the following:

10:46:49 T:1422914624  NOTICE: (<type 'exceptions.KeyError'>, 'addon.py', 154)

10:46:49 T:1422914624  NOTICE: KeyError

10:46:55 T:1970033184   ERROR: CGUIMediaWindow::GetDirectory(plugin://script.module.openhab/) failed

I saw that the information is retrieved fromthe REST API, but I got the abover error.

HTH,
MC

[Enis Hoca]

Hi Manuel - 

The structure problem is a git zip thing, that is why you need to use the link, don[t think I can do anything about, other plugins in git have the same issue.

That GetDirectory was the error from previous plugin - did you uninstall the previous one?  if you didn't best to do that.  Actually probably best to delete teh folder manually if you can, this install this one

Can you please go in settings for the addon and turn Debug on, and capture the log

[Enis Hoca]

Can you kindly open an issue in github and also upload the data debug data there?  I am most interested in the JSON steeam becaeuse that will tell me why its not being parsed - 

[Enis Hoca]

I have updated the addin to with exception reporting cleaned up a little - kindly download 1.0.2 version

HTH

[Enis Hoca]

Everyone - thanks for testing - 

I have tested these issues - unfortunately my python skill are not at a point where I can fully resolve these.  I will keep working on them and once I have an update I will announce here.

It would be good to hear if anyone has used this successfully.

It works fine for me but then I have a very simple setup with about 15 devices.

[Enis Hoca]

OK I know what the issue is - don't know how to fix it.

Basically this code expects items to be in groups not directly under frames.  It breaks when it finds switches, dimmers etc under frames.  it ignores text itmes like dates that are under frames.

The issue is so fundamental that I don't know how to address it, because this code lays out groups and frames on the main pages of kodi and items on popup windows.

[Enis Hoca]

I have noted this issue down as a limitation - however there is a workaround.  Not a terrible one either unless you have a very complex setup.

You can create an alternative sitemap which is compatible with this addon - use your primary one for Android iOS web etc, and use the alternative one with kodi.

[Greg]

I agree, more of a limitation.  I know myself my sitemap would be brief for what is displayed on kodi vs other devices.
Can you give an example of a sitemap what works vs one that will break it?

Appreciate your work on this!

[Mike Hinton]

That is just a small limitation as you say. i would want a separate sitemap for Kodi anyway.  Please post a working sample so we can at least learn how to make it work for us.  I am not experienced with programming in Python either but am excited to get some data available in Kodi.  I have attempted to create a sitemap working from the info you posted about limitations, but I still can't get it work.

[Enis Hoca]

this is my sitemap and it works

sitemap default label="Home"

{

Frame {

  Group item=gFF label="Living Space" icon="house" {

            Slider item=bedroomceiling switchSupport

            Slider item=bedroomlamp switchSupport

            Switch item=bedroomfan label="Bedroom Fan" mappings=[ON="On", OFF="Off"]

            Switch item=girlsfan label="Girl's Fan" mappings=[ON="On", OFF="Off"]

            Switch item=denfan label="Den Fan" mappings=[ON="On", OFF="Off"]

            Slider item=denlights switchSupport

            Slider item=parlour label="Parlour" switchSupport

            Slider item=diningroom  label="Dining Room" switchSupport

            Switch item=foyer label="Foyer" mappings=[ON="On", OFF="Off"]

            Switch item=corridor label="Hallway" mappings=[ON="On", OFF="Off"]

        }

Group item=gC label="Basement and Attic" icon="cellar" {

Slider item=attic switchSupport

Slider item=zwave7 switchSupport

Switch item=x10appliance

Switch item=x10lamp

[Mike Hinton]

Thank you for sending your sitemap, I tried it and it works in Openhab without problems, but Kodi still gets an error.  There must be something different with my Kodi setup. I will keep digging to see if I can find it.

Thanks

[Enis Hoca]

What error are you getting ?  Wonder if some underlying dependency of the code is not installed.  Has your log changes

I discovered this quite by accident googling around, looks like some French university students have made a pretty decent GUI to control openhab from within xmbc/kodi.  I think its a brilliant idea, hate looking for the phone at night.

Anyway I have dusted it off, made it compatible with the latest version of Kodi and some minor changes on wording that I found confusing.

Here is the link to the github page https://github.com/enishoca/openhab-kodi

Introduction

This is a Kodi (formerly known as xbmc) plugin for Openhab. It allows users to control Openhab from within the Kodi environment. The orignal project was created for xmbc originally created by a group RICM5 2014 students. The original page in French is located herehttp://air.imag.fr/index.php/Extensions_XBMC.

The code as it stands now is compatible with the Kodi (Helix) the current version at the time of writing this.

Installation and Usage

1. Download the current version or alternatively click on the the zip file link above - then right click on 'View Raw' link and save the file.
   
2. install it as you would normally install Kodi addons. You will need to go in the setings menu and change the default settings for the addon to match your installation.

e.g.

1. Server IP address : 127.0.0.1
2. Server port : 8080
3. Sitemap name : default
4. Start page : default

Hi Mike

The plugin is expecting a list of frames ("Floors") in your top-level sitemap but you have only one.

This is a side-effect of the json output:
 * When there is more than one sub-structure the output is a json list containing some dicts.
 * When there is just one sub-structure the output is just a dict, not a list of (one) dict.

The plugin is quite fragile and makes a lot of assumptions about your sitemap.

Try something like:

sitemap simple label="Simple"
{
    Frame label="Floor1" {
        Group item=Room1 icon="bedroom"
        Group item=Room2 icon="kitchen"
    }
    Frame label="Floor2" {
        Group item=Room3 label="Study" icon="office"
        Group item=Room4 label="Study" icon="office"
    }
}



[Mike Hinton]

WOW!!

I finally got it to work, THANK YOU!

Now to build some useful site maps.  This is great! :-)
