Home Cloud Hub port to Hubitat

Keo · February 10, 2018, 9:18pm

One of the apps I use over at smartThings is HomeCloud Hub. It is used to integrate my AT&T digital life into smartThings. Has anyone tried porting this code yet?

Keo · February 13, 2018, 6:27am

Can someone help me figure out this error? I think once I get this error fixed, home cloud hub will just work in hubitat.

startup failed: Script1.groovy: 729: unable to resolve class physicalgraph.device.HubAction @ line 729, column 17. sendHubCommand(new physicalgraph.device.HubAction("lan discovery " + getLocalServerURN(), physicalgraph.device.Protocol.LAN)) ^ Script1.groovy: 775: unable to resolve class physicalgraph.device.HubAction @ line 775, column 24. sendHubCommand(new physicalgraph.device.HubAction( ^ 2 errors on line null

Here is line 729:

sendHubCommand(new physicalgraph.device.HubAction("lan discovery " + getLocalServerURN(), physicalgraph.device.Protocol.LAN))

Here is line 775:

sendHubCommand(new physicalgraph.device.HubAction(
method: "GET",
path: "/${command}",
headers: [
HOST: "${ip}:42457"
],
query: payload ? [payload: groovy.json.JsonOutput.toJson(payload).bytes.encodeBase64()] :
))

A good starting point would be to replace all instances of “physicalgraph” with “hubitat”. This applies to all apps and device handlers.

Man I wish I was a developer. I fixed the errors but now it looks like the next selection screens aren’t showing me options such as user name and password.

Is someone willing to pick this project up? I am clearly out of my element with this.

have you checked with ady624 over on the ST or webcore forum? maybe he is willing to support it on hubitat as well.

Keo · February 16, 2018, 8:54am

I haven’t because last I heard he was employed by smartThings and thought this would be conflict of interest.

bangali · February 16, 2018, 9:30am

no harm in asking. man is free to do what he wants to do with his free time.

homeauto2112 · February 17, 2018, 2:24am

I posted under New Features on the WebCore Community site.

Iv’e tracked down the problem with this port to the following line of code:

sendLocalServerCommand state.ihch.localServerIp.toInt(), "ping", [:]

Is there anyway to output what it is returning so I can see it in the log? Right now the screen just returns blank.

Keo · March 19, 2018, 1:25am

erga derga!!

This is the error I get and I can’t figure out what it means:

I have no real idea what HomeCloudHub is, but that section of code is just trying to PING a local HomeCloudHub server on your LAN, I believe. If it gets a response with 50 tries, each 100ms apart, it returns true, otherwise it returns false.

Are you running a local HomeCloudHub nodejs server on your LAN? If so, try simply adding a ‘return true’ as the first line in the doHCHLogin() function to see it you can get further along…

On second thought… I believe this is not a real PING command… I believe it is simply sending a string of ‘ping’ to the nodejs server. If you can’t get this command to work, none of it probably will.

Here is what sendLocalServerCommand() is actually doing… I am sure you’ve replaced the ‘physicalgraph’ with ‘hubitat’, correct?

private sendLocalServerCommand(ip, command, payload) {
	try {
        ip = ip ?: state.sch.localServerIp
        log.trace "Sending command $command with payload size ${"${groovy.json.JsonOutput.toJson(payload).bytes.encodeBase64()}".size()} to IP $ip"
        log.trace payload
        sendHubCommand(new physicalgraph.device.HubAction(
            method: "GET",
            path: "/${command}",
            headers: [
                HOST: "${ip}:42457"
            ],
            //body: [payload: payload]
            query: payload ? [payload: groovy.json.JsonOutput.toJson(payload).bytes.encodeBase64()] : []
        ))
	} catch (e) { log.error "Got an error...", e }
}

Have you made any headway with this? Any success? I need to move my Digital Life system over to my Hubitat. I don't know Groovy but I'm willing to add it to my list of languages if needed.

Keo · March 26, 2018, 2:22pm

Some. I’ve gotten to the point where it asks for your Creds, but it keeps failing with invalid credentials.

I’ve only been working on it as time permits. Right now I what i’ve done to work around it is use the other hub integration so all of the contact and motion sensors from Digital Life (on ST) are mirrored in HE. They get updated pretty quick.

cstory777 · March 26, 2018, 3:19pm

We had the invalid creds issue in the ST version a while ago but ady fixed that. Did you start your hubitat version with the fixed version of his code?

Keo · March 26, 2018, 3:31pm

I forked it from his repo… I thought. I’ll double check and try the port again.

Keo · March 28, 2018, 4:02pm

Ok. So it's not an issue with logging in even though the app says it is. It looks like it logs in but still fails on this bit of code:

def prefATTConfirm() {
    if (doATTLogin(true, true)) {
                return dynamicPage(name: "prefATTConfirm", title: "AT&T Digital Life™ Integration", nextPage:"prefModules") {
                        section(){
                                paragraph "Congratulations! You have successfully connected your AT&T Digital Life™ system."
                        }
        }
        } else {
                return dynamicPage(name: "prefATTConfirm",  title: "AT&T Digital Life™ Integration") {
                        section(){
                                paragraph "Sorry, the credentials you provided for AT&T Digital Life™ are invalid. Please go back and try again."
                        }
        }
    }
}

In the log I can see a successful log in.

Even after commenting out the else statement so it only has the success part I still have no success. Their is no failure, it just goes back to the previous screen. I fear this may be beyond my knowledge.

cstory777 · April 11, 2018, 7:57pm

Messed around with this a bit today and I’m not even getting to a point where it asks for login. It asks for the IP of my homecloudhub server. Once I give it that the next screen is just “Home cloud hub modules” and a “Done” button. After clicking on Done I get “Connect to home cloud hub” and another “Done” button. After clicking done there I’m taken back to the first screen of the app install.

Without taking the time to learn groovy I’m probably not going to be of much help.

Keo · April 11, 2018, 8:33pm

I’ve made some progress on it. I am basically re-writing most of it. I am only using it for digital Life so I have removed all of the other integrations to make reverse engineering this easier. The original does a lot of dynamic pages which were hard for me to follow.

So I’ve basically gotten through the entire flow for digital life authentication but at the end I can’t get the app to commit. I haven’t given up yet, and I am feeling more optimistic than I was a few weeks ago.

cstory777 · April 11, 2018, 9:08pm

I was trying to strip out the non Digital Life portions as well. I’m glad you’re feeling optimistic!

Keo · April 11, 2018, 9:14pm

Disclaimer: This may take me a bit as I continue to reverse engineer this thing. I'll keep you updated as much as I can.
