list_actions() throws a JSONDecodeError

[pbackx]

When enabling the Niko home control integration in Home Assistant, the following error appears in the logs:

2018-12-30 10:27:10 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.light] Error while setting up platform niko_home_control Traceback (most recent call last): File "/srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.5/site-packages/homeassistant/helpers/entity_platform.py", line 128, in _async_setup_platform SLOW_SETUP_MAX_WAIT, loop=hass.loop) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/asyncio/tasks.py", line 400, in wait_for return fut.result() File "/usr/lib/python3.5/asyncio/futures.py", line 293, in result raise self._exception File "/usr/lib/python3.5/concurrent/futures/thread.py", line 55, in run result = self.fn(*self.args, **self.kwargs) File "/srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.5/site-packages/homeassistant/components/light/niko_home_control.py", line 44, in setup_platform [NikoHomeControlLight(light, hub) for light in hub.list_actions()], File "/srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.5/site-packages/nikohomecontrol/__init__.py", line 35, in list_actions return [Action(action, self) for action in self.list_actions_raw()] File "/srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.5/site-packages/nikohomecontrol/__init__.py", line 32, in list_actions_raw return self._command('{"cmd":"listactions"}') File "/srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.5/site-packages/nikohomecontrol/__init__.py", line 52, in _command data = json.load(StringIO(self._socket.recv(8192).decode())) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/json/__init__.py", line 268, in load parse_constant=parse_constant, object_pairs_hook=object_pairs_hook, **kw) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/json/__init__.py", line 319, in loads return _default_decoder.decode(s) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/json/decoder.py", line 339, in decode obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end()) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/json/decoder.py", line 355, in raw_decode obj, end = self.scan_once(s, idx) json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting ',' delimiter: line 1 column 1357 (char 1356)

Tracing this back, I see Home Assistant depends on version 0.1.8 of this niko-home-control component. I'm a bit new to the Python ecosystem, so I'm not sure which commit that version relates to. Maybe there is a newer version without the issue.

If this is not a known issue, I will set up a local copy of this project to figure out what's going on, but I first wanted to check whether or not this was already investigated.

BTW: I'm not sure if it matters, but I have Niko Home Control I. There's now also a Niko Home Control II, but I think this is only available in Belgium right now (I could only find this page in Dutch: https://www.niko.eu/nlbe/software )

BTW2: Thanks for the project!

It looks like the code for the 0.1.8 release is not in this repository. The 0.1.8 code uses a Hub object which does not exist in the code (I checked the available commits and could not find it)

@pbackx I have a new PR out for HA that will use v0.2.0 that should fix these issues.
