I'm trying the Michi python library with Node-Red and it works perfectly with Souliss. Send and receive commands and updates from T11 and the aesthetic appearance as well as the programmability are exciting. Currently I use Python 3.5.2 on a Orange Pi PC2 (H5 cpu) and Python 3.5.3 on Raspberry Pi2. Next step is a test on Orange pi Zero (H2 cpu) and move to Python 3.6.2 as suggested. I have no experience on Node-Red, but it seems easy to use.

Would you share some screenshots?

Thanks,

I know nothing about NodeRed and Python but this looks very nice!

Have you a quick starting guide?

Dario.

Hi Dario

You can start with this, but Goole is a good guide.You can start using the RASPBIAN STRETCH WITH DESKTOP distribution that has Node-Red already installed.

Then install the dashboard (npm i node-red-dashboardoard), install mosquitto and mosquitto-clients.

Activate the python library of Michi as he indicated and run:

python3 /home/pi/pysouliss/examples/example_mqtt.py -g <soulissgateway ip address> -m 127.0.0.1

Now you see:

pi@orangepipc2:~$ python3 /home/pi/pysouliss/examples/example_mqtt.py -g 192.168.1.199 -m 127.0.0.1

INFO: Trying to connect to gateway

INFO: 13 nodes found

INFO: Connected to mqtt broker at 127.0.0.1

INFO: Node 0. Added typical 0x14: T14: Pulse Digital Output

INFO: Node 1. Added typical 0x11: T11: ON/OFF Digital Output with Timer Option

INFO: Node 2. Added typical 0x11: T11: ON/OFF Digital Output with Timer Option

INFO: Node 3. Added typical 0x11: T11: ON/OFF Digital Output with Timer Option

INFO: Node 5. Added typical 0x11: T11: ON/OFF Digital Output with Timer Option

INFO: Node 6. Added typical 0x11: T11: ON/OFF Digital Output with Timer Option

INFO: Node 8. Added typical 0x11: T11: ON/OFF Digital Output with Timer Option

INFO: Node 10. Added typical 0x1a: T1A: Digital Input Pass Through

INFO: Node 11. Added typical 0x1a: T1A: Digital Input Pass Through

INFO: Node 0: Typical 0 - T14: Pulse Digital Output updated to off

INFO: Node 0: Typical 1 - T14: Pulse Digital Output updated to off

INFO: Node 5: Typical 0 - T11: ON/OFF Digital Output with Timer Option updated to off

And width mosquitto_sub -v -t '#' you can see the mqtt messages when activate a Souliss node (T11 for example On and then OFF)

pysouliss/8/0 on

pysouliss/8/0/cmd

pysouliss/8/0 off

pysouliss/8/0/cmd

Now there is the connection between Souliss and MQTT using the Python Library.

Node-Red Configuration is accessible at http://ip_raspberry:1880

Node-Red Dashboard is accessible at http://ip_raspberry:1880/ui

----Node-Red configuration

http://ip_raspberry:1880

On up right select 'Import/Clipboard' and past this configuration

than Click import and deploy. Now you see the object for a test

With double-click in each block you see the configuration that change for you site

In the firs and last object you can change the address and the topic for MQTT

The first object is the receiver of MQTT from pysouliss

The second is the switch for ON/OFF of T11 souliss. The payload is tranfered to the third block (function)

that convert the on/off payload in \x02 and \x04 fot pysouliss ( and souliss )

The last block send the comand to MQTT and then to pysouliss ( and souliss )

Open http:// ip_raspberry:1880/ui and see the switch that you can move on and off.

Now you can add more block and function from the left menu, configure and deploy.
