This problem will very likely be fixed with version 0.109 of Home Assistant, since it features an updated panasonic_viera component with encryption support and more stability. More info here: home-assistant/core#33829

[maframan]

Hi, thanks for your reply but the components doesn't works, below the error and my configuration:

2020-04-25 15:47:49 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.setup] Setup failed for panasonic_viera: No setup function defined.

panasonic_viera:
host: 192.168.102.61
name: TV Cucina Panasonic

My Home assistant version: 0.108.9

The components directory contents is:
/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/components/panasonic_viera
bash-5.0# ls -lrt

that's because you don't have the updated version yet :)

You can either wait for Home Assistant 0.109 to be released or transfer the new component in your own (download it from home-assistant/core and move it to /usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/components/, replacing panasonic_viera)

[maframan]

Thanks.
I just copied the panasonic_viera components from github and replaced in the HA directory.
After restart do I do?

[joogps]

In theory, you could run python3 -m script.hassfest from root to enable UI configuration (under Configuration -> Integrations)

Or you could just use YAML, but I'm not sure if the setup process would work without running hassfest.

[maframan]

Hi, I don't find any file with this name "script.hassfest", where must I to launch this command?
Consider that my HA run in docker container on raspbian (raspberry 4).
Thanks a lot for your support.

[joogps]

You need to run it from root (just type cd ~ in the docker terminal)

:)

[maframan]

Hi,

i've executed the suggested command, below the output but in configuration-->integrations don't see nothing.

bash-5.0#
bash-5.0# python3 -m script.hassfest
Run from project root
bash-5.0#

[joogps]

Oh, I'm sorry. Actually, you don't need to run it from root. Just run it from the folder opened when the terminal starts.

[maframan]

same behavior in the terminal start...

[joogps]

Are you in the core folder?

[maframan]

root@raspberrypi:~# docker exec -it homeassistant bash
bash-5.0# python3 -m script.hassfest
Run from project root
bash-5.0# pwd
/config
bash-5.0#

[joogps]

I thought you were running docker from Visual Studio Code, sorry 😅.
Visual Studio Code opens the terminal inside the project root.

Try to find the folder for Home Assistant core and run it from there.

[maframan]

I've executed the command in this /usr/src/homeassistant/ docker container directory, restarted the homeassistant container but doesn't works.

The command executed
root@raspberrypi:~# docker exec -it homeassistant bash
bash-5.0# cd /usr/src/homeassistant
bash-5.0# python3 -m script.hassfest
Warning: homeassistant/components/.translations/init.py missing, skipping directory. If this is your development environment, you can safely delete this folder.

during restart obtain below error:
2020-04-26 02:22:05 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.panasonic_viera.config_flow] The remote connection was lost: Precondition failed

[joogps]

I haven't seen that before... Try to remove panasonic_viera from your YAML configuration and configure it through the UI

[maframan]

Now works, ip address not correct, sorry.........just one question: why is not present channel up and down button?

[joogps]

It's because the media_player domain doesn't support channel up/down, so there isn't a native API for that.

However, there's another pull request I made that makes the integration create a new remote entity. With it you would then be able to create an automation to call the service remote.send_command with the ch_up or ch_down keys (and maybe add some buttons to trigger them from the UI)

The pull request wasn't accepted yet, but you can download the source code from my repo and replace it with your current integration if you want. (you won't need to do the pairing process done again)

[maframan]

Thanks a lot for your patient and availability.

[joogps]

It's because the media_player domain doesn't support channel up/down, so there isn't a native API for that.

That doesn't mean we can't modify it in the future to work like the webOS integration, that handles next/previous track as channel up/down when the source is Live TV.

Thanks a lot for your patient and availability.

You're welcome!
If you wan't to help me, leave a thumbs up on my pull request 😂

[joogps]

Also, I can't close this issue since I'm not the repository owner, so, if you feel like your problem is fixed, you can close it :)
