[pimatic-echo] Control your pimatic devices using Amazon's echo

---

did you restart pimatic after changing the plugin settings?

@leader21 yes

@n3ro Beware that habridge and pimatic-echo probably use the same ports for device discovery. So at the moment you can’t use them both at the same time.

I’ve just released a new release 0.0.3 which includes https://github.com/michbeck100/pimatic-echo/issues/5.

BTW: We need some functionality in pimatic, that plugins are able to extend a device configuration schema. Otherwise there is this ugly warning in the logs during startup.

@n3ro i also have the problem, that i found no devices . Do you have found a solution?

@christoph.ch Please check https://github.com/michbeck100/pimatic-echo/issues/7. Maybe you have the same problems.

@michbeck100 thx for the fast info, here the logfile:

19:30:59.023 [pimatic] New device “Simulation Abwesenheit”

i looks good, anything ideas?

@christoph.ch Do have any switches in your list? These devices don’t sound like switches.

@michbeck100 yes, i have several switches:

{
“xOnLabel”: “Ein”,
“id”: “ds-heizung”,
“name”: “Heizung”,
“class”: “DummySwitch”
},

or

{
“xOnLabel”: “Ein”,
“id”: “ad-ds-simulation-abwesenheit”,
“name”: “Simulation Abwesenheit”,
“class”: “DummySwitch”
},

@christoph.ch Please try to enable the debug output as described in https://github.com/michbeck100/pimatic-echo/issues/7#issuecomment-269228509

@christoph.ch There should be at least something like this in the logs:

  ssdp-server using ip address: 192.168.178.4 +0ms
  ssdp-server binding to port 1900 for ssdp discovery +13ms
  ssdp-server Setup Server running. +180ms

Currently I have no idea whats wrong

@christoph.ch

please run the following command if pimatic is running and if not:

netstat -tulpn | egrep -i 1900

@n3ro the result:

pi@raspberrypi3:~ $ sudo netstat -tulpn | egrep -i 1900
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:1900 0.0.0.0:* 1083/kodi.bin
pi@raspberrypi3:~ $ sudo service pimatic stop
pi@raspberrypi3:~ $ sudo netstat -tulpn | egrep -i 1900
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:1900 0.0.0.0:* 1083/kodi.bin
pi@raspberrypi3:~ $

@christoph.ch stop kodi on you raspberry ant its working well

@christoph.ch There you have it, the port 1900 is blocked by kodi.bin. Please stop Kodi and try again. If it works then, you know why. I’m not sure if I can change the port for pimatic-echo

@michbeck100 or maybe you could include a internal test in the plugin with a error message in pimatic if port is locked

@n3ro Just put it on the list

@michbeck100 : I have added this option to the socket creation

dgram.createSocket({type:"udp4", reuseAddr:true})

Now it is possible to have minidlna, ha-bridge and the echo-plugin running on the same port.
For multicast listener it is not unusual to have more processes on same socket.

I have not yet tested it.

@kosta Thats great, thanks for the info. This will be part of the next release which should be available later today
