Query from newbie

[Kaspar Althoefer]

Hi all,

I am very much a beginner in the world of python and programming vacuum robots. But I hope you don't mind my questions. Great to see the fantastic developments of the group here.

I am very keen to program my Deebot (N97S) in Python, but fail at the first hurdle. 

I installed python and the relevant sucks package on my phone and on my Mac. I tried all kinds of ways to get sucks going, but it just doe snot work. The furthest I got was on my Android phone where I actually managed to run sucks and was invited to log in - I went through the login process at least 50 times trying different combinations but every time I type in "eu" at the end of the login process, I get a long list of error messages... and that's it... I just cannot get into the system. I am fairly certain that I am typing in the correct information - everything works just fine when using the ecovacs software which I have installed. 

My login info is as follows:

Email: [the email I use with the ecovacs APP]

Password: [the ecovacs password]

Country: gb

Continent: eu

Does it matter that my email account starts with a capital?

When trying to run sucks on my Mac, I don't get anywhere, sucks does not want to run at all in my python environment.

I hope you can help. I definitely would like to get over this hurdle and do some robot programming.

Thanks in advance, Kaspar

Have you tried putting US values? I had lot's of trouble until I just put "us".

Also a newbie having problems getting it to install/run at all. I am trying to run just the CLI on a raspberry pi. "pip install sucks" from the installation instructions ended up targetting python2 so I redid it with "python3 -m pip install sucks" and it says it's installed but is there an actual "sucks" script as shown in the readme "sucks login"? I don't know what I'm missing.

Name: sucks
Version: 0.9.3
Summary: a library for controlling certain robot vacuums
Home-page: https://github.com/wpietri/sucks
Author: William Pietri
Author-email: sucks-users@googlegroups.com
License: GPL-3.0
Location: /home/pi/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages
Requires: pycryptodome, click, pycountry-convert, requests, sleekxmpp, stringcase

the site-packages/sucks directory just contains cli.py, __init__.py, and a __pycache__

[Jason Arends]

nevermind, worked by doing:

sudo python3 -m pip install sucks

 

(didn't realize it had to install as root)

and now it's in /usr/local/bin/sucks

[Guillermo Schimmel]

Great!

If you use mqtt check my other post.

I don't think it's strictly necessary to install it as root. It works fine for me without it. My hazy recollection is that other people have had trouble on the Raspberry Pi. My even hazier notion is that there's something unusual about the way Python works on it. If anybody has a patch that will fix this on the Raspberry Pi, I'll happily accept it.

I think this actually fixes it, it's not an issue with sucks, it's with python3 pip on a pi:

sudo python3 -m pip install pip --upgrade

I can run it as non-root now.

Thanks!

[Kaspar Althoefer]

Many thanks, Guillermo.

That does the trick. Fantastic! I can log in now. And the system responds as expected.

However, when I then put in a command like 'sucks clean 10', it acknowledges that and responds with a lot of comments and goes into 600 seconds of a wait loop. However, the robot does not do anything, just sits in the charger without moving...

I receive the following comments from the system :

/storage/emulated/0 $ sucks login

SSL certificate COULD NOT BE VERIFIED. sleekxmpp.xmlstream.cert WARNING Could not find pyasn1 and pyasn1_modules. SSL certificate expiration COULD NOT BE VERIFIED. performing clean command waiting for 600.0s

Do you have any ideas on what is going wrong and how I can overcome these issues?

Thanks in advance again.

Best, Kaspar.

[Jason Arends]

I ran into this too, I think you need to install specific versions of the prereqs due to an issue with sleekxmpp.

python3 -m pip uninstall -y pyasn1 pyasn1-modules sleekxmpp slixmpp

python3 -m pip install pyasn1==0.3.7 pyasn1 modules==0.1.5 sleekxmpp==1.3.2 dnspython3==1.15.0

Hi @ all i have the same problems.. With trying this issue below i´l get some new faults. 

sleekxmpp.basexmpp WARNING  fulljid property deprecated. Use boundjid.resource

sleekxmpp.xmlstream.xmlstream ERROR    Certificate has expired.

sleekxmpp.xmlstream.xmlstream WARNING  Failed to send b"<stream:stream to='ecouser.net' xmlns:stream='http://etherx.jabber.org/streams' xmlns='jabber:client' xml:lang='en' version='1.0'>"

sleekxmpp.xmlstream.xmlstream ERROR    Socket Error #9: Bad file descriptor

Does any one have a idea how to fix this ?

Hi, Timo. I think that's a different issue, one that's being discussed here:

https://github.com/wpietri/sucks/issues/62

I think the first step is to figure out what the host is, and possibly what the certificate is. What continent and country codes is Ecovacs using for you? And are you comfortable capturing the traffic with something like Wireshark to find the certificate in question?

Thanks,

William

[Timo Prager]

Hi Willam, 

thanks for your quick response. 

I´m not a specialist about this stuff. Just try to get it works :-)

Country is DE and Continent ist set to EU

First error with every try after reboot the raspebrry is about:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    sys.exit(cli())

This system supports the C.UTF-8 locale which is recommended.

You might be able to resolve your issue by exporting the

following environment variables:

    export LC_ALL=C.UTF-8

    export LANG=C.UTF-8

After i put one of this export ** solutions into comand line i can exec like sucks clean 5

Next i´l get this output as a loop 

rx.jabber.org/streams' xmlns='jabber:client' xml:lang='en' version='1.0'>"

sleekxmpp.xmlstream.xmlstream ERROR    Socket Error #9: Bad file descriptor

sleekxmpp.xmlstream.xmlstream ERROR    Certificate has expired.

With a look into wireshark it looks for me not as the raspberry tries to send anything ... cause i can´t find any communication going outside my network.

hope this can help to find the issue.

[Jonathan Woodall]

Timo - I just validated what you are seeing, and it is as William described. pyasn1 & pyasn1_modules is trying to validate the sleekxmpp cert, which is expired. If you just remove pyasn1 * pyasn1_modules from python it will ignore the check, and continue on anyway. I've updated the post on github as well if you want some more info.
