[BUG] Callbacks not being fired by ZHA events (E2002)

Question

[BUG] Callbacks not being fired by ZHA events (E2002)

Closed this issue 2 years ago · 8 comments

Bug report

Description

Registered ZHA events cannot trigger callbacks of configured ControllerX applications:

However, remote button events can be captured over device logs or developer tools. How may I access more detailed debugging logs? (e.g. are events completely ignored, or they are not parsed properly)

Additional information

Devices involved:
- Model: IKEA 2002 as Light Controller
Integration: zha
AppDaemon version: v0.11.0
ControllerX version: v4.25.0
HACS version (if installed from there): v1.31.0
Home Assistant Core version: v2023.3.6

AppDaemon app configuration

msbedroom_light_controller:
  module: controllerx
  class: E2002LightController
  integration: zha
  controller: 04:0d:84:ff:fe:96:ab:73
  light: light.master_bedroom_lights

Answer 1 · 2023-04-01T05:26:33.000Z

Hi @hftsai256 ,

This seems odd, indeed. Could you please add log_level: DEBUG to the configuration? Same level as module or class.

Could I also see the logs when initializing AppDaemon?

Thanks,
Xavi M.

Hi @hftsai256 ,

I see you are working with a light group. How did you ceeate this light group? Could you try to use it with a notmal light entity? Just to discard where the error is?

Thanks,
Xavi M.

You can also read about entity groups https://controllerx.netlify.app/controllerx/advanced/entity-groups/. It seems from logs that entity_id is null for you group light.

Answer 5 · 2023-04-01T17:39:44.000Z

Normal light entities behave the same as the group light. The following logs are captured after several ZHA events from the remote controller were fired:

And there are two entities at AppDaemon's end:

-- app.msbedroom_light_controller [idle] --
 {
    "totalcallbacks": 0,
    "instancecallbacks": 0,
    "args": {
        "module": "controllerx",
        "class": "E2002LightController",
        "integration": "zha",
        "controller": "04:0d:84:ff:fe:96:ab:73",
        "light": "light.obk177FF51C",
        "log_level": "DEBUG"
    },
    "yaml_path": "/config/appdaemon/apps/apps.yaml",
    "_silent": true,
    "module_path": "/config/appdaemon/apps/controllerx/controllerx.py"
} 
-- event_callback.35d059e99c8d444c8deef21e0ad0e3ab [active] --
{
    "app": "msbedroom_light_controller",
    "event_name": "zha_event",
    "function": "event_callback",
    "pinned": true,
    "pinned_thread": 0,
    "fired": 0,
    "executed": 0,
    "kwargs": {
        "device_ieee": "04:0d:84:ff:fe:96:ab:73"
    }
}

I think the key takeaway is that AppDaemon cannot get entities from home assistant... maybe?

Answer 6 · 2023-04-01T18:52:02.000Z

I wrote a small AppDaemon app and figured out that it was namespace confusion: I was assigning namespace to hass but HASS plugin in AppDaemon is looking into default. It might be better to have a separate namespace for HASS, but for now putting everything under default is easier.

Thanks again for pin-pointing the root causes.

Answer 7 · 2023-04-01T18:55:33.000Z

Hi @hftsai256 ,

Thanks you for the investigation. ControllerX assumes the default configuration from AppDaemon addon, so it uses the default namespace. I would've spotted it if I would've seen the appdaemon.yaml file, sorry.

Answer 8 · 2023-04-03T04:01:26.000Z

You are more than welcome 😃. I was being lazy and trying to hammer through the settings ASAP without understanding everything in quick-start guides. I wouldn't be able to spot it without those hints.
