Mr Steam/Steamlinx handling #6

rct · 2020-11-15T17:37:23Z

Trying GeckoLib shell with only the Mr Steam Steamlinx unit on the local lan. I'm not expecting Geckolib to run at this point, but thought I would collect and report data.

Perhaps a first goal would be to get to the point of recognizing the Mr. Steam unit isn't a spa and should be skipped.

Running GeckoShell hangs at Connecting to spa My Steamer at 192.168... Since it attempts to auto connect and hangs, I can't go any further in that shell. I wind up having to CTRL-C.

I haven't figured out yet if there is debugging I should be turning on.

With tcpdump I see a bunch of UDP with XML packets go back and forth. Guessing the command might be APING. There is a reference to MrSt_C02.xml. It seems like the shell/library polls every few seconds.

Please let me know what would be good to run in order to collect data.

From the activity/comments, I believe that this repo is now that active one and that we shouldn't be using Chicago6061's in.touch2 repo, is that correct?

I saw a reference to client.py @gazoodle mentioned in the other repo, has that been replaced by GeckoShell?

If I run GeckoShell with both the in.touch2 (spa) and Mr. Steam steamlinx connected, it reports 2 spas found. However, I don't see an obvious command to use to connect to one of them, but maybe I'm being dense.

Let me know if you want to see any data from my in.yt-8 controller. I've done a config dump using GeckoShell. All looks ok as far as I can tell. I haven't gotten Chicago6061's dumpall.py to work yet.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Perhaps a first goal would be to get to the point of recognizing the Mr. Steam unit isn't a spa and should be skipped.

Sounds like a good plan. I'll need some diags to help with that. See below

Running GeckoShell hangs at Connecting to spa My Steamer at 192.168... Since it attempts to auto connect and hangs, I can't go any further in that shell. I wind up having to CTRL-C.

I haven't figured out yet if there is debugging I should be turning on.

From version 0.3.11 onward, the shell can emit logging to a file. Use:

from geckolib import GeckoShell
GeckoShell.run(["logfile client.log"])
 :
 :

After you have the client.log file, you can email it to me at gazoodle at hash dot fyi

From the activity/comments, I believe that this repo is now that active one and that we shouldn't be using Chicago6061's in.touch2 repo, is that correct?

I've been doing a huge amount of work on the library so it's certainly the most recent, but it doesn't handle reminders yet, so there is still use for Chicago6061's in.touch2 repo

I saw a reference to client.py @gazoodle mentioned in the other repo, has that been replaced by GeckoShell?

Yes. After moving to PyPI the test section isn't distributed with the pip install geckolib command and I needed a way to have some diags available when installed that way. All the functionality from client.py has been moved to GeckoShell.

If I run GeckoShell with both the in.touch2 (spa) and Mr. Steam steamlinx connected, it reports 2 spas found. However, I don't see an obvious command to use to connect to one of them, but maybe I'm being dense.

Not being dense, I just hadn't documented it clearly ... which should have been addressed now. Anyway, the command is manage <spanum> where <spanum> can be found by doing list

rct · 2020-11-16T21:49:47Z

@gazoodle thanks for your work and help with this.

With the latest code from master, I now get an exception Cannot find spa pack for MrSt. I'm guessing that means a source for MrSt_C02.xml is needed, since I saw a reference to that in the packet capture. I'm emailing client.log to you.

Thanks @rct, those log files will help me understand that. Question: Does the iOS or Android Gecko app discover (and possibly manage) the Mr Steam unit when you have both connected to your LAN, or must you use the Gecko app for your hot tub and the Steamlinx app for your Mr Steam unit?

rct · 2020-11-17T16:07:11Z

The two devices are managed by two separate apps. I'm using iOS. On start up, with the steamlinx app I've got to choose the right gecko device. The gecko spa app seems like it remembers my choice.

I captured packets while using the steamlinx app, but haven't tried to really dig into it yet. The hosts it looks up are

intouch.geckoal.com
api-steamlinx.geckoal.com
intouch2.geckoal.com

I see UDP traffic to intouch and intouch2. api-steamlinx is an app running on heroku. It seems to have some login page. but I can't get past the device selection without getting logged out.

I didn't see any fetches of MrSt_C02.xml or MrSt_S02.xml referenced in <DATAS>FILES,MrSt_C02.xml,MrSt_S02.xml</DATAS></PACKT>

gazoodle · 2020-11-17T17:40:17Z

I didn't see any fetches of MrSt_C02.xml or MrSt_S02.xml referenced in <DATAS>FILES,MrSt_C02.xml,MrSt_S02.xml</DATAS></PACKT>

Those files don't seem to be anywhere, at least that I've found for any of the spas we've tested with. Currently I use the data before the underscore to indicate a key for a <Plateform> node in SpaPackStruct.xml and then go from there. Looks like they've got the old DOS 8.3 filename limit somewhere in their code, so perhaps I'll need to use MrSt and match that start with MrSteam

If I do that, then we can either ignore the steam unit or handle it correctly ... no reason you'd not want your steam shower in HA too!

I'm currently building a spa simulator that I can use to investigate the other side of the conversation and see what the apps do to chat to me.

I've not had this much fun in ages :-)

gazoodle · 2020-12-13T10:56:51Z

0.3.13 Ought to be able to progress to the next stage of handling your MrSteam unit. When you get a chance, can you try and if possible, once connected drop a snapshot to me...

spa$ snapshot Connected to MrSteam

Maybe also make some changes on the MrSteam control unit, then

spa$ refresh
(wait 10-15 seconds)
spa$ snapshot <Description of what you've changed>

Then email the client.log file to me
Thanks!

Coming back to this because of gazoodle/gecko-home-assistant#20:

I believe I have the latest commited Geckolib in the main (default) branch from mid December 2020.

I may have forgotten some stuff about starting Geckolib's shell, currently it does the discovery and then looks like it just returns an object, instead going interactive:

>>> from geckolib import GeckoShell
>>> GeckoShell()


        <Disclaimer>
        ----------------------------- USE AT YOUR OWN RISK -----------------------------

        This code will allow you to make changes to your spa configuration that is
        outside of what the app, top panel and side panel settings allow. I've not
        tested every setting and it might be that you prevent your spa pack from
        operating as it used to do.

        Configuration is declared in the file SpaPackStruct.xml which is downloaded the
        first time you run this program. Settings marked as RW="ALL" seem to indicate
        that any process can write them, so you ought to be able to revert the settings
        to their original ones.

        I strongly suggest dumping the configuration values with the "config" command
        and recording them somewhere safe.

        </Disclaimer>

Now I get a KeyError: PackConfID when trying to manage the Mr. Steam. From the log it looks like progress is being made, the list of "temperature keys" looks encouraging!

I love to have my Mr.Steam unit integrated into HA. I am sure @rct does too. :-)

Any way to work with you both getting this setup? Looking forward to any response. :-)

yungeconomist · 2022-08-25T20:08:54Z

I've been looking into this for my steam generator. Just curious; what would need to be done to correctly integrate the SteamLinx units? I see under geckolib/src/geckolib/driver/packs/ [mrsteam-cfg-1.py], [mrsteam-cfg-2.py] and [mrsteam-cfg-3.py]. Would effort developing those be the next step or what? I am motivated to help push this forward, but a little advice on where to start would be immensely helpful. Thanks!

ChrisRut · 2023-03-26T15:04:50Z

@gazoodle I'd love to help contribute to this, but not sure where to begin. Would additional debug logs help?
Would you be interested in having this issue be sponsored, I found a couple of options for sponsoring this issue:

I'll happily contribute $100 to this issue and time to help you work on this. Would you have a preference on this?

I also researched a couple of other github projects that look to be working on a similar issue with Mr.Steam SteamLinx integrations:

Not sure if anything can be gleaned from these, I tried to get these working with no success.

borisdaenen · 2023-10-18T08:15:11Z

Happy to contribute $100 to a working HASS integration too!
