Need help to integrate my EgloPanel

[Raphinity]

Hi,

I'm trying to integrate a LED Panel "Eglo 30X30".
There are 2 devices integrated in my AwoX Smart Control App : this "Eglo panel" and the "Eglo remote".

I have flashed the ESP32 (ESP32-DevKitC-32 ESP-WROOM-32 / CP2102) from this config :
awox-ble-mesh-hub.txt

The logs from the device in ESPHome :
logs_awox-ble-mesh-hub_logs.txt
There is nothing more in enabling verbose logging.

I have tried several times to flash the ESP32, factory reset the Led Panel and reintegrated it in my AwoX app...
I still get the same result in logs.

I don't know what I could try. Any ideas ?

Thanks !

Enable debug that probably will show more

 debug:
   update_interval: 5s

[Raphinity]

awox-ble-mesh-hub.yaml (ESPHome) :

debug:
  update_interval: 5s

# Enable logging
logger:
  level: VERY_VERBOSE

Home Assistant API is disabled (lines for "api" commented) -> to prevent frequent MQTT disconnections.
If it's enabled (not commented), the HA API can't connect.

configuration.yaml (home assistant) :

# Logs
logger:
  default: warning
  logs:
    homeassistant.components.mqtt: debug

Logs from install (ESPHome) :
logs_awox-ble-mesh-hub_run.txt
-> nothing happens after "INFO Connected to MQTT broker!".

Mosquitto broker's logs :

2024-01-13 00:41:19: New connection from 172.30.32.1:33212 on port 1883.
2024-01-13 00:41:19: New client connected from 172.30.32.1:33212 as auto-FBAB9F57-F361-7B56-CAE9-F6908E8BA66B (p2, c1, k60, u'mqtt-user-****').
2024-01-13 00:41:25: Client auto-FBAB9F57-F361-7B56-CAE9-F6908E8BA66B closed its connection.

If it's enabled (not commented), the HA API can't connect.

Do you have network issues?

The log from esphome should at least show some logs about the wifi connection etc.
The logs you show is only from esphome dashboard not from the device. That can take a few seconds but should show. What if you try to view the logs when connected over USB?

Can you flash some getting started esphome yaml and check if you see more logging in esphome?

[Raphinity]

Thank you for the tip about connecting over USB ! :)
It was clearly the MQTT connection which failed.
It was due to the mqtt broker set in awox-ble-mesh-hub.yaml --> simply set the IP, instead of "core-mosquitto".

Edit : The issue described below is not relevant, as the EgloPanel was already correctly integrated.
It was a misanderstanding (read the last posts).

Now, my EgloPanel 30X30 is displayed in MQTT devices, as a simple switch (functional).
In awox-ble-mesh-hub.yaml, I have commented the part about device_info (set from your Config examples known devices).

#  device_info:
#    - product_id: 0x25
#      device_type: RGB
#      name: EGLOPanel 30X30
#      model: EPanel_300
#      manufacturer: EGLO

After installing again, it created a new Unknown device type in MQTT, still as a simple switch.

In logs from AwoX BLE mesh hub (ESPHome) :

[11:12:23][V][mesh_device:792]: Found existing mesh_id: 18955, Number of found mesh devices = 1
[11:12:23][D][mesh_device:395]: MAC report, dev [18955]: productID: 0x25 (Unknown device type - ) mac: A4:C1:**:**:**:**
[...]
[11:12:23][D][mesh_device:382]: status report: mesh: 18955, on: 0, color_mode: 0, transition_mode: 0, w_b: 37, temp: 101, c_b: 29, rgb: FFFFFF

Is there a way to "recognize" it ? Which informations from logs would help ?

Thanks again !

[fsaris]

Can you show the logs with the device info enabled?

#  device_info:
#    - product_id: 0x25
#      device_type: RGB
#      name: EGLOPanel 30X30
#      model: EPanel_300
#      manufacturer: EGLO

And are you sure the light isn't also recognized by HA? There should be a similar mqtt message like you found for the switch but then with light instead of switch in the topic.
Check also the HA logs if there isn't a message about issues with processing the discovery message

[Raphinity]

Parts from logs (after installing with the device info enabled) :
logs_awox-ble-mesh-hub_run (parts).txt

The HA logs level is "warning" and it doesn't display any issue with processing the discovery message

In HA devices list :

In MQTT (Mosquitto broker integrated to Home Assistant) :

[fsaris]

So the light is recognized and online. Can't you control it from HA? Or does is work now?

[Raphinity]

Alright ! I misunderstood it...
It's displayed as a simple switch in MQTT, but it is fully integrated as a RGB Led panel.

So, I can use the "Hue-Like Light Card" (available from HACS) and it is fully controllable now.
Really good ! Thank you for this great work, and your help to integrate my EgloPanel ! 👍
