Sidekicks Integration #24

DrmeddieWiese · 2019-10-21T18:33:02Z

Hi Gregory,

first thanks to your DreamScreen Service. Everything works great.
Is there any solution to integrate Sidekicks? I know you haven't any hardware to test.
I have tried to integrate them in the configuration as own devices but it failed.

Thanks.

Any Logs?
I expect an unknown device id, which should be easy to add

Thanks for interest :)

In my configuration.yaml i configure the dreamscreen devices as follows:

dreamscreen: devices: - dream_screen: address: 192.168.178.46 timeout: 5 - dream_frontright: address: 192.168.178.48 timeout: 5 - dream_frontleft: address: 192.168.178.51 timeout: 5 - dream_backright: address: 192.168.178.47 timeout: 5 - dream_backleft: address: 192.168.178.49 timeout: 5

The main part called "dream_screen" is working. But the sidekicks cannot be found.

DrmeddieWiese · 2019-10-25T13:33:01Z

Ok. I have now two sidekicks and the main screen as a group which can be turned on and off by voice (via USB Power plug). They are always in video mode. So they are only for movies.

The other two sidekicks are "stand-alone". Is there any option to control them with hassio? The best is to emulate them as hue light bulbs. Have anyone create such a solution?
I have tried to add them like the main screen in hassio but it always failed and i have the same errors in the log as before.

J3n50m4t · 2019-11-24T18:22:13Z

So a group does work (kinda), but single sidekicks not?
And then you also can't switch modes?

DrmeddieWiese · 2019-11-24T18:32:13Z

No in my case whether group or single sidekick can be discovered.

I always get an error in my log: "failed to add device".

Thanks for reply

J3n50m4t · 2019-11-24T18:35:17Z

I assume same as @DrmeddieWiese got, but with other names and ip?

DrmeddieWiese · 2019-11-24T18:41:36Z

Yes. Same Issue. I've tried to change ip, name and factory reset but nothing happened. I added the port 8888 but this causes an error.

J3n50m4t · 2019-11-24T18:45:52Z

Could you add the Logger Component directly into your configuration.yaml and paste the logs?

logger:
  default: critical
  logs:
    # log level for HA core just to get only erros and less output
    homeassistant.core: fatal
    # get all logs both components deliver
    homeassistant.components.dreamscreen: debug
    pydreamscreen: debug

DrmeddieWiese · 2019-11-24T19:09:33Z

Thanks for your help. I've add the logger component into my config. Here's my log.

DrmeddieWiese · 2019-11-24T21:10:11Z

Is there any possibilty to communicate in a direct way to a single sidekick? In relation to my log, the dreamscreen control is answering when I try to speak to a sidekick. Do I have to "speak" to the dreamscreen control to use a sidekick?
It's a little bit confusing because i haven't integrate the dreamscreen control in my config.yaml or grouped the sidekick which i try ro control.

J3n50m4t · 2019-11-24T21:13:07Z

I don't understand what you want to say.
Is it possible to use a sidekick standalone with the Dreamscreen app? If yes we should be able to do this as well.

DrmeddieWiese · 2019-11-24T21:20:29Z

Yes it is possible to use a sidekick as standalone via App. The one which i try to control is a standalone and not grouped in the app.

Das andere schreibe ich jetzt mal auf Deutsch, da ich glaube, dass du mich verstehst ;)

Ich überlege ob es überhaupt möglich ist, einen Sidekick außerhalb der App direkt anzusprechen. Weil laut Log meine Anfrage an den Sidekick von der Haupt Dreamscreen Kontrolleinheit beantwortet wird.
Mit der App funktioniert der alleinige Betrieb eines Sidekicks wunderbar. Ein Screenshot habe ich beigefügt

J3n50m4t · 2019-11-24T21:38:59Z

Ja ich verstehe das, allerdings sollten wir trotzdem weiter englisch nutzen, weil Gregory das hier sonst nicht versteht, und ggf hat der Die Lösung, der hat ja den Großteil hier gemacht.
According to their api we should be able to read/write the states.

Weil laut Log meine Anfrage an den Sidekick von der Haupt Dreamscreen Kontrolleinheit beantwortet wird.

Every Dreamscreen should respond to the discover command - and so does your sidekick right before the main Dreamscreen.

DrmeddieWiese · 2019-11-24T22:14:05Z

Ok. So the behaviour of my sidekick is right? It responds correctly. But i cannot understand the message. Even with the api

eddyliao · 2022-10-05T01:31:30Z

Hey can you clarify more on this?
I have a DS + 2 sidekick in a single group
I am experiencing similar issues where only the main leds can be control but not the sidekicks

ProLoser · 2022-10-05T01:41:33Z

I sold my dreamscreen, but I flashed a custom firmware onto the sidekicks really easily and now they work great with home assistant out of the box
