Hi Giovanni,

 

Thank You for sharing Your knowledge and skills this way, much appreciated.

 

I have one question if I may ask. I have s blgw where the setup if somewhat different from the mlgw, zones etc.

Do I need to make  many changes in the configuration, have added my sources etc in the .yaml file with sources and

devices like beomaster 5 and beolab 3500 and their MLN.

I have my devices in the control panel but not working and I get an error log when starting it up.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Baaz


Hi Baaz

 

can you send me your configuration, and also the cut and paste of your homeassistant logs? There are other users with BLGW and it works for them.

 

Also, if possible, could you please send me the file http://ADDRESS_OF_BLGW/mlgwpservices.json

Giovanni,

 

thank You for taking Your time. I've gone back to a very simple installation to narrow down things. Only a Beomaster 5 installed  and two buttons Radio and CD. Also I'm not using the manual config but the automatic. Thing is Beomaster 5 pops up in the control panel but without sources and when I try to start i get the enclosed error code also enclosing mlgwpservices.

 

Thanks

 

Baaz

 

and the error code...

Excellent. This is a known bug and I am fixing it this weekend.

Giovanni take Your time, when googling for answers I find You are equally busy helping people on the home assistant forum.

Have a nice Saturday evening

Hi Baaz

I made the changes that should support your use case. Please install the latest code and let me know how it works for you.

Hi Giovanni,

some progress, I can start the Beomaster 5, it puts on the CD, and stop once then nothing happens. No error log either.

Still no sources nor does any of the functions work pause or volume control.

 

If I manual include mlgw-script in the configuration I get an error log, if this could be to any help.

 

Thanks

 

Mikael

 

 

and the yaml

 

 

Hi Abakus2007

can you please add this to your configuration.yaml:

 

logger:
  default: warning
  logs:
    custom_components.mlgw: debug

then, do the automatic setup. 
And send me the error log.
The two problems you described (not able to control and manual config failing) are independent from one another, but both seem fixable.
