Install questions

[chriszuckerberg]

Please, can you tell me how to install this great code?

[dib0]

Hi!

To do this in Linux: first clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/rcastberg/sure_petcare.git

The run:
python3 setup.py install
or
sudo python3 setup.py install

Then the module should be installed.

[chriszuckerberg]

Cool, Thank you, I'll try it. Chris ok. And then? I call: sudo sp_cli.py -e cxxxxxxx@gmx.de -p Pxxxxxxxx --update Result: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/sp_cli.py", line 4, in <module> __import__('pkg_resources').run_script('sure-petcare==0.1', 'sp_cli.py') File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 750, in run_script self.require(requires)[0].run_script(script_name, ns) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 1527, in run_script exec(code, namespace, namespace) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/sure_petcare-0.1-py3.6.egg/EGG-INFO/scripts/sp_cli.py", line 156, in <module> main( sys.argv ) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/sure_petcare-0.1-py3.6.egg/EGG-INFO/scripts/sp_cli.py", line 76, in main sp.update() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/sure_petcare-0.1-py3.6.egg/sure_petcare/__init__.py", line 337, in update self.update_device_ids() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/sure_petcare-0.1-py3.6.egg/sure_petcare/__init__.py", line 419, in update_device_ids household['default_flap'] = list(flaps.keys())[0] IndexError: list index out of range What must i do? Or how do I properly call the application? Sorry for many questions...

What must i do? Or how do I properly call the application?

The error you're getting suggests that the API can't see any door devices attached to the account credentials you supplied.

If you want to try to resolve the problem yourself, use sp_cli.py and also the update() method in the main API class as a guide to instantiating the API in an interactive Python interpreter, then examine the data retrieved by each step of the initial update mechanism. You can find the results in the .cache instance attribute.

Beyond that, I'm afraid I can't supply much more support than that in the circumstances. I wanted to develop this API into a more end-user friendly package, but SurePet isn't keen on that last I knew.

Hey, is there any support for windows?

I'm obviously getting the error [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified: '/sys/class/net/' . Tried replacing the returned MAC manually, but when I do that it can't find any flaps on my account? Any other pointers?

Cheers and good work!

[rcastberg]

If you replaced the function to return your mac, then you should be fine at that stage. Almost any value should work there from my experience. I would have thought that the python code would have abstracted the difference between windows and Linux. I Will have to look into this. As to why you aren't getting any flaps i am not sure. I take it you aren't getting any error messages?

i have the same problem....

i am sure that the email address & PW are right....

can i adjust it manual somewhere?

i tried:
./sp_cli.py --update -e bladiebla@provider.com -p password
also tried it wiht sudo and without ./ and all other combinations

all times the output is:

is the location of the program maybe the problem?
i have it in ~/domoticz/scripts/Sureflap/sure_petcare
because i want to try to connect i in my domoticz system.

@chriszuckerberg , @dzjr which model of catflap do you have?

If it's the new "Cat Door Connect" (https://www.surepetcare.com/en-nz/pet-doors/microchip-cat-flap-connect), as opposed to the original, larger "Pet Door Connect" (https://www.surepetcare.com/en-nz/pet-doors/microchip-pet-door-connect), the current code (at ed59e44) doesn't have its device id.

My pull request #7 should fix that.

Ok, thank you, great application!
Now it works for incomprehensible reasons. The only change was on my network to release IPv6 on the Fritzbox?
Now I have only the question: Do I always have to do a "sudo sp_cli.py --update" before querying "sudo sp_cli.py ls_pets"?

[chriszuckerberg]

Ok. a day after, the next Problem:

alec@Server:~$ sudo sp_cli.py --update

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/sp_cli.py", line 4, in

raise SPAPICacheLocked()
sure_petcare.SPAPICacheLocked

Solution:
sudo rm .surepet.cache
sudo rm .surepet.cache.lock
sudo sp_cli.py -e adress@gmx.de -p password --update

Hi,
I have two questions about the project:

1. Can I also use the code without Home Assistant or is it only in connection with the Home Assistant?
2. Does the project run under Windows 8?

I successfully installed the setup under windows.
Can I connect to the flap now?

I run the code directly on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS and ask the status via my daschboard via socket connection. It would be desirable that the query is a little faster to view the status faster, but the delay of about 30 seconds is probably due to the server at Sure-Petcare.

I did not install Ubuntu.
At the moment everything should run under Windows and later on the rasberry Pi

I have only recently started working with python.
The installation of the packages was successful.
I do not know exactly how to create a test script, for example, to get the battery status.
Everything is listed in init.py, but I'm not sure how to build the script.

Do you have an example?
I put the test script into the directory ure_petcare-master \ sure_petcare

Rasperry also works under Linux, just like Ubuntu.
possible arguments are: one of ls_flaps, ls_house, ls_pets, pet_tl, set_hid
Entry in the directory sure_petcare:
./sp_cli.py ls_flaps
comes the message:
Cat Flap (123456) at 1.332V is Unlocked
The battery status is not directly visible. Here you would have to extract the value 1.332V by script and define yourself as good or bad.

For example, I check via a regular thread only if the cat is in the house or out of the house and send with c.write_message ("cat_out") the state to my dashboard. The battery status tells me the normal app, so for me uninteresting.

# Sure-flap
def SureFlap ():
while true:
os.system ("sp_cli.py --update")
time.sleep (10)
proc = poles ('sp_cli.py ls_pets', shell = true, stdout = PIPE,)
output = proc.communicate () [0]
if (output.find ("Outside")> 0):
#print "Sheila outside."
for c in ws_clients:
c.write_message ("cat_out")
else:
#print "Sheila inside"
for c in ws_clients:
c.write_message ("cat_in")
time.sleep (10)

Excuse me, I do not know why the code can not be structured here :-(

[staebchen0]

Thank you for your help :-)

I have the command: ./sp_cli.py ls_flaps
tried it out

The following message appears:

Sure Petcare Connect CLI

--- * WARNING * ---

etc....

Although I created a user with a readonly role in the household and executed the following commands
sp_cli.py --update -e xxxxtest@t-online.de -p xxxxxxx
and then
sp_cli.py --update

Did I forget something else?

Please try first with complete rights or with sudo.
I have the experience that you have to do "sp_cli.py --update -e pyhton.test@t-online.de -p xxxxxxx" only once, after that "sp_cli.py --update" always goes.
--update seems to read the data from the server and put it in the file ~/.surepet.cache or ~/.surepet.cache.lock which you can read out with sp_cli.py, see my entries above.

The rights are here:
ls -alh in home directory shows
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 35K Mar 17 11:50 .surepet.cache
-rw-r--r-- 1 alec www-data 4 Mar 17 11:54 .surepet.cache.lock
drwxr-xr-x 8 alec www-data 4,0K Mär 10 10:55 sure_petcare

PS: the e-mail address and the password must be the same as the access data of Surepet.
For me the script worked only after activation of IPv6 on the Fritzbox. Maybe also a source of error?
Test it with: ping6 ipv6.google.com
