Turn off screen from remote system (ex. via URL) #189

Snille · 2021-04-26T05:34:52Z

Hi there! I'm on my way to save energy, so I'm using HA (Home Assistant) to manage my "screens" at home. I have multiple motion detectors placed in the house so, when non of them are "triggered", after a while (or by looking where our phones are) I turn off screens (and other stuff) that is not needed when nobody is home or asleep. I'm for the moment using a schedule to turn off the screens on my frames, but is there a way to remotely send a "turn off screen" command, I'm thinking via an API och just by visiting http://myframeip:7777/control/screenoff or http://myframeip:7777/control/screeon (or similar)?... If not possible already, maybe it's a good idea? :) There could be an option in the config to enable it?

dadr · 2021-05-19T18:07:09Z

I love your idea! I have SmartThings for home automation, and it would be useful with that as well. It would be great if the photo frames would turn off when I say "goodnight" to my home automation. I can also see this working among photo frames if one has the light sensor and others do not. They might sub/pub to such an interface. This seems reasonably do-able, and the photoframe already configures through the URL -- but it might get more complex if you need to reach the URL from a host outside your home network.

Snille · 2021-05-19T20:42:21Z

Sounds good! :) No need to be able to reach it from "outside" in my case, I'm using Home Assistant and it's all local lan. :)

Hi Snille, (and this may interest @JuliAn50M ) I've got a branch worked out with this feature, and I wanted to reach out and see if you would be up for testing. It's based on the python3 branch (future version of photoframe). If you are up to testing and doing a manual install, your help and feedback would be great. I can provide some basic instructions, and when we think it's ready, I'll do a PR to let Henric add it to the python3 branch here. What do you think? I'm asking first because this will require quite a bit of work on the command line, and it will help if you're generally familiar with linux on the Raspberry Pi.

Snille · 2021-06-09T21:00:15Z

Hi! I'm in! :) I just reinstalled one of my frames because (I think the SD-Card was messed up). But the new install has a broken GUI after updating the OS and the frame to the last version. I gladly try out the new version! :) And I'm not afraid of the console. :)
Thank you!

mrworf · 2021-06-09T21:26:37Z

Curious, how is it broken?

dadr · 2021-06-09T21:31:05Z

OK, with that in mind, I'm also going to ask that you take some notes and provide feedback on the instructions ;-).

Have a look at the readme here: https://github.com/dadr/photoframe/tree/feature/screen-off-url

Those instructions should get through a fresh install, but substitute this for the similar git command at line 145:

git clone --branch feature/screen-off-url --single-branch https://github.com/dadr/photoframe.git

I've added the notes about this feature (and the URLs) to the readme there.

Once you're all done and this is pulled into the python3 branch here, you can remove the /root/photoframe directory and use the documented git command to get back on the main (v2) branch. It will keep all your settings. ( no need for another install from scratch. )

And thanks again for helping out.

Snille · 2021-06-09T21:41:40Z

Curious, how is it broken?

@mrworf After reinstall (tried it 3 times on 2 different (new) SD-cards). When it first boots, it works. I can add the Google album. But the version on the "image" is an old version, missing some features. So I want to update to the latest. After that (and a restart) I only get to the "fail safe" page in the GUI. The "slideshow" still works, but I cant change any settings. :)

Snille · 2021-06-09T21:43:40Z

@dadr Great! I'll get on it tomorrow! :)

mrworf · 2021-06-09T21:54:08Z

Can you grab logs from the system? Would love to find out what's wrong so the image works.

dadr · 2021-06-09T22:27:09Z

I've also had an SD card fail. It did reformat rather than fail hard, so I don't think it was worn out. Nevertheless it convinced me to do some testing with making /tmp a RAM-based filesystem. Doing that does make the system marginally faster b/c all the image "trans-morgrification" is written to RAM instead of disk. That can help if you have a Pi3 with a lot of ram, but on average it was a wash on my Pi Zeros because it made them use swap instead. Either way, it seemed, you had to write to the SD card.

Snille · 2021-06-10T08:13:50Z

Can you grab logs from the system? Would love to find out what's wrong so the image works.

@mrworf Sure, here you go :) Logs
Let me know when you have downloaded so I can remove them... :)

@dadr Ok, installed, however I get the "Failsafe-page" when I want to configure... Same as with a new install (after update) of the v1.

Info:
Pi Zero Wifi (but I'm using ethernet for this).
No color-sensor
16gb Class 10 SD-Card
Using this screen (discontinued)
Here is the "failsafe" page.

Let me know what else you want to know? :)

dadr · 2021-06-10T13:03:24Z

Good Morning from sunny ATL - just saw your comment. And thanks for the log report. I'm confused a little, because there is another "failsafe page" that differs from the log report and is much more terse. Is this one you attached what you get, or is it the other?

In either case, I would try to reset my browser cache and make double sure that the URL is just the photoframe IP without anything behind it. (e.g. make sure it does not end in /debug) Sometimes the browsers these days try to be helpful and add the rest of the URL they "think" you are typing rather than the one you want.

You can also try http://raspberrypi.local (unless you have changed the hostname during the install) That sometimes works around a stubborn browser.

Does the screen say "Please configure photoframe" ?

And I spot another thing I should fix. It looks like ddcutil and /dev/i2c-2 are both working, but your monitor does not respond to brightness or contrast queries. It would help me if you could do:
sudo ddcutil capabilities > results.txt
and then share that file. I suspect it says that there are no capabilities for your monitor.

Snille · 2021-06-10T13:18:29Z

Hi again... Sunny here too, afternoon though... :)

Here is the page that show up:

The one I attached in the comment (to you @dadr) was from the "create bug report" from that page. :)

Yes, on screen I see:

When running the ddcutil (in SSH not on the actual console) there is not output in the file.

root@raspberrypi:~# sudo ddcutil capabilities > results.txt
Display not found
root@raspberrypi:~# ls
cache  history  photoframe  photoframe_config  results.txt
root@raspberrypi:~# cat results.txt
root@raspberrypi:~#

Let me know... :)

dadr · 2021-06-10T14:07:24Z

Thanks for all the good info.

Just confirming, you are only connected to your LAN with WiFi?

Try ip a from the ssh shell, and make sure that the IPv4 address matches the one on the screen.

Do you get the same result when you try the URL: http://raspberrypi.local/

Also, is there another device with a browser (like a smartphone) that you can try? Both IP and URL

From ssh you can also check permissions on the /root/photoframe* directories as well as the files inside the /root/photoframe_config. The directories should be drwxr-xr-x and regular files -rw-r--r-- all should be owned by root and group root.

Sorry that this is such a hassle. Needless to say I don't get that error. I have a Pi Zero W I can try it on this evening. I'm running this on a Pi3 right now.

Thanks for your help with this.

Snille · 2021-06-10T14:19:50Z

@dadr Nah, I'm connecting to SSH via the ethernet cable (just to get at stable connection). But the wifi is also "connected".
See output from "ip addr".

Yes, get the same page from the .local address and direct on the IP (both IPs). :) I get the same page in (inkognito) Firefox, (inkognito) Chrome, (inkognito) Edge and on my phone...

I can do a reinstall of the whole frame again if you think something has gone wrong? :)

dadr · 2021-06-10T22:22:07Z

Hi Erik,

As you already know, it's not your browser. 8-)

I just tried the software on my Pi Zero W. It works for me. I'm not sure what to suggest next...

It's also really troubling that you have seen this both for the original image and from a manual install. There is so much different between these two, that I have to wonder if it's some type of hardware problem.

Somewhat grasping:

Which OS image did you start from? I used 2021-03-04-raspios-buster-armhf-lite

The instructions set up WiFi for the US, and I assume you changed the country variable for Sweden. If not you can try setting up that localization in raspy-config - But since your WiFi is working I don't see how this can be a problem - except with the documentation in the readme.

Do you have another RPi that you could slip the SD card into and try that?

Can you try without the Ethernet attached - just using WiFi? (Although I have tried with the wired Ethernet and it seems to work fine on my Pi3.)

Do you have another SD card you can try a new install on? But before you do that perhaps you could watch the debug trace for exceptions or other oddball activity. To do that:

ssh into the Pi,  
sudo bash
cd /root/photoframe
systemctl stop frame
./frame.py --debug

At this point you should see a rolling log go by. Now go to your browser and request the management URL (http://raspberripi.local)

And I hope this will show something interesting in the rolling log above. If you can, copy that text and share it with us.

Once you're done, you can ^c to kill the frame process from the rolling log window. systemctl start frame puts back the system daemon version. (or reboot does too ;-)

If that looks normal, then you could try:

sudo bash
cd
systemctl stop frame
rm -rf photo*
rm -rf cache
rm -rf history
git clone --branch feature/screen-off-url --single-branch https://github.com/dadr/photoframe.git
systemctl start frame

If that does not help, then try to re-install on a new SD card? :-(

Snille · 2021-06-11T05:53:45Z

Hi again, sorry for giving all of you the headache. :) I'll do all the things in your post during the day and I'll try to document at the same time.

I'm using the latest buster image (downloaded it yesterday): 2021-05-07-raspios-buster-armhf-lite.zip

Next step, reinstall on a new SD-card and in another RPi-Zero... I'll make a new post. :)

Snille · 2021-06-11T06:31:10Z

Ok, same SD-Card, same install. Another RPi-Zero connected to another screen.
Still fail safe page, "Photoframe isn't ready..." Message on screen...

Next up. reinstall on a new SD-Card...

Snille · 2021-06-11T07:32:49Z

Install procedure on new SD-Card:

Write 2021-05-07-raspios-buster-armhf-lite.zip image to SD-Card using Rufus.
Mounting boot partition in Windows to copy over files: ssh and wpa_supplicant.conf.
wpa_supplicant.conf content:

# Use this file instead of wifi-config.txt
# Should set country properly

country=se
update_config=1
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

network={
scan_ssid=1
ssid="snille.net"
psk="Will not tell... :)"
}

Edit the confg.txt file (in notepad++) enabling and adding the following:

## For my screen 1280x800
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=28
## Set rotation of the screen.
display_rotate=2 # 180 degrees
## Setting these according to your instructions... :)
dtparam=i2c2_iknowwhatimdoing
disable_splash=1
framebuffer_ignore_alpha=1

I'm skipping the changes in the /boot/cmdline.txt because I want to see the boot process (for now).
Booting the Pi...
Logging in via SSH (LAN ip) and becomes root (sudo su).
Update the system apt update && apt dist-upgrade
Rebooting...
Installing additional dependencies with apt... apt install git python3-pip python3-requests-oauthlib python3-flask imagemagick python3-smbus bc ddcutil libjpeg-turbo-progs
Installing additional dependencies with pip... pip3 install requests requests-oauthlib flask flask-httpauth smbus netifaces
Rebooting...
Cloning the frame in /root... git clone --branch python3 --single-branch https://github.com/mrworf/photoframe.git
Starting the frame with debug in the photoframe folder... ./frame.py --debug
Waiting for startup and when "Photoframe isn't ready..." message appears, try to go to gui on LAN ip.
Shows failsafe page... :(
CTRL-C to stop frame.

^Croot@raspberrypi:~/photoframe#

Just realized I cloned the "original" repo. So, I'm cleaning up and cloning the correct one.

cd /root
rm -rf photo*
rm -rf cache
rm -rf history
git clone --branch feature/screen-off-url --single-branch https://github.com/dadr/photoframe.git

But still get failsafe page... :(

Hmm... I'm out of ideas now... I don't have a unused Rpi 3 or 4 unfortunately...
Is there something in the "updates" that break things maybe?

I'm sorry I could not help more...
Let me know if you want me to try anything else?

Snille · 2021-06-11T10:16:57Z

OK! New info... Did a reinstall again, same image (2021-05-07-raspios-buster-armhf-lite.zip).
Did not update with the apt update && apt dist-upgrade.
Did not changed the config.txt...
Installed dependencies and cloned the git (new).
I ran frame in debug mode and it worked (running on Rpi 2 B v1.1)!!
Now I did the apt update && apt upgrade and rebooted.
Stared the frame again and it worked again...
Edited the config.txt
Added my stuff....

## For my screen 1280x800
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=28
## Set rotation of the screen.
display_rotate=2 # 180 degrees

Stared the frame again and it did not work...
So, it's something with these settings, Don't know why?

I commented out the first two (group and mode) but left the rotation, restarted and got "fail safe".
Then I commented out the rotate and put group and mode back and now it worked again.
So, it's the "display_rotate" in the config.txt that make the frame to failsafe...
Don't know why. :) However, since some versions back the "rotation" can be configured in the GUI. So, the option is unnecessary to use in the config.txt nowdays. So, this whole problem is not really a problem anymore.
Maybe, document that the option can not be used with the "frame" software somewhere in the Readme. :)

Sorry for taking all your time... At least we now know why...

Det var jättebra! I was able to re-create your error on my Pi Zero.

AND, I have a little good news. If I manually edit the /boot/config.txt to match your monitor rotate config I get the error, BUT, if I leave that alone and change the rotation from the management screen I don't. So I think that the management code does not handle the comment on that config line and that crashes the management screen.

That also makes a pretty easy workaround for you until we fix it. ;-) I was able to edit config.txt to remove the comment, and then saved the file. No need to reboot, the management screen will work from there.

Now I hope you can enjoy testing the feature and saving energy!

Some day I would like to hear your opinion about Home Assistant. I got started early with SmartThings (before Samsung bought them) and I wonder if it would be better to change-over. However, my wife is completely hooked on talking to the Amazon echo to turn on and off lighting, so I try not to experiment too much!

dadr · 2021-06-11T12:23:04Z

It would also be interesting to figure out an easy way to use these commands with a frame that is set to authenticate access. There are some hints in Issue #162 .

Snille · 2021-06-11T12:42:24Z

Skönt att det problemet är löst i alla fall! :)

Ok, I had almost forgot the reason for this thread, so, now i tried to just "visit" (with a webbrowser) the links...
http://ip/control/screenoff
http://ip/control/screenon
I get:
{"control":true}
But nothing happens with the screen. :)
Regardless what I put after control/ I get the same result back. :)

In the debug log:
2021-06-11 13:46:21,390 - WARNING - Unknown event 'screenoff' received, will not act upon it
2021-06-11 13:46:32,638 - WARNING - Unknown event 'screenon' received, will not act upon it

I chose to add the screen commands to another URL that was not associated with making permanent configuration changes. I should have mentioned that I put these instructions in the README.md file:

photoframe also supports 3 web/URL commands to allow controlling the screen through home automation:

http://photoframeip/maintenance/standby   will put the screen to sleep
http://photoframeip/maintenance/resume   will wake the screen up again
http://photoframeip/maintenance/get_standby   will return the current state of this feature

each of these commands will return (in json) a standby : T/F keyword/state pair.
NOTE: this state is not remembered across reboots or updates. This is intentional to allow recovery to a working system.

dadr · 2021-06-11T13:04:09Z

Right now, the URLs will override other power saving settings to turn the screen off, but not to turn the screen on. (Well, this is what I intended in the code :) So if the schedule or sensor says it should be off, then this will not turn it back on. Also, the get_standby command only reports the state of this input, and even if you get back {"standby":false} the screen might be in powersave by schedule or sensor. I thought that after you have the HA working, you would probably turn off the schedule and sensor anyway. Do you think there is a need to get the overall state of the screen across all inputs? Or to report a triple with the state of each input?

Snille · 2021-06-11T13:04:22Z

Great! It works! :)
I missed that in the ReadMe... Sorry...
I can now use all my motion-sensors in the house to turn on and off the frames! :)
The only "thing" maybe, is that it takes a while to process the picture when turning the screen on again (because the Zero is not a powerful machine). It's not really a problem, I just noticed it.
Well, now I just have to reinstall alla my frames... Hehe...

About Home Assistant, I moved over to Home Assistant maybe two years ago. Before that I ran everything in the Fibaro-universe (I'm on Z-wave mostly). But I never did like the usability of the HC2. LUA is fine and all, but HA is just OUTSTANDING when it comes to combability with everything... :) You can get all your "SmartThings" to work with HA as well: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/smartthings/ :)

In my case I will turn the schedule off completely and only use HA to control everything (the same way as I'm doing with my MagicMirror today). So, it does not matter for me. :)

dadr · 2021-06-11T13:10:41Z

I noticed the delay as well. It also happens when the screen turns on again from schedule or sensor. It even happens from one photo to the next if there are big differences in original resolution of the photos. That's the time it takes to render the first picture! I've measured up to 8 minutes on a Pi Zero for photos I've take at high resolution. It did occur to me that a better algorithm would be to prepare a picture and then wait for wakeup or the slideshow timer to say to show it. But that sounds like brain surgery on the photoframe, so I've avoided thinking about it too much!

I will have a look at HA and the link you shared.

Snille · 2021-06-11T13:15:21Z

Yes, It's not really a problem. I'm happy with this! :)
The question now is, should I reinstall all my (4) frames with your branch or wait and hope that it get's merged (soon)... :)
If you need more help/ideas/information about HA. Let med know. I'm deep in to that swamp...

Oh, another thing, when I added Google as a provider to the new frame (your branch) the callback URL is wrong. It's calling with the :7777 port... Should not be any port (80). :)

dadr · 2021-06-11T13:34:22Z

Good catch on the Google provider! If you are happy with the function, and it seems stable... (I'm also running it on 3 photoframes for 3 days now with the schedule and sensor enabled) Then I'll put in a PR so it gets added to the python3 branch. Once that happens, it's really easy to change over to mrworf python3 branch. Similar to the cleanup you have already done:

sudo bash
cd
systemctl stop frame
rm -rf photoframe
git clone --branch python3 --single-branch https://github.com/mrworf/photoframe.git
systemctl start frame

Doing this will have your photoframes keep up with updates there.

Finally - unless you have a monitor that can be adjusted, you need not add the dtparam=i2c2_iknowwhatimdoing to config.txt. The Pi developers clearly think that there is potential problem with people experimenting on that interface.

Snille · 2021-06-11T13:51:10Z

I've not done extensive testing just tried it, but it looks good and the function is there. It's working with my Google Album so it's all good. I'm not using authentication so I don't know about that. But I think, send the PR then I'll move over to mrworf's python3 branch. :)

Also I'm not using any sensor, is the i2c2 needed anyway for some other reason?

dadr · 2021-06-11T13:55:00Z

i2c2 is connected to the HDMI port. It's only needed by ddcutil to adjust monitor brightness and color temp when they support that feature. You need not enable i2c2 nor install ddcutil.

Hi Snille, (and this may interest @JuliAn50M ) I've got a branch worked out with this feature, and I wanted to reach out and see if you would be up for testing. It's based on the python3 branch (future version of photoframe). If you are up to testing and doing a manual install, your help and feedback would be great. I can provide some basic instructions, and when we think it's ready, I'll do a PR to let Henric add it to the python3 branch here. What do you think? I'm asking first because this will require quite a bit of work on the command line, and it will help if you're generally familiar with linux on the Raspberry Pi.

Yes I'm interrested by this. I do exactly the same with domoticz. I do it this way
http://192.168.0.40:7777/setting/powersave/none
http://192.168.0.40:7777/setting/powersave/schedule
but I'm ready to test the new version

dadr · 2021-07-05T13:42:31Z

@JuliAn50M,
I've got this in the current pull request to mrworf's python3 branch. He asked for some good improvements before accepting, so I'll get there as soon as I can. You can wait for that branch or try the one I have queued up in the pull request. Both will still have the bug in #193. I still haven't worked that one out.

If you're impatient to try, the best branch to clone is now:
git clone --branch python3 --single-branch https://github.com/dadr/photoframe.git
I'd appreciate your feedback on anything you find there!!

I think the new command will work differently than the one you have been using: Your command overrides the schedule to turn on the photoframe, but the new command will override the schedule (or sensor) to turn off the photoframe. Between them both, there are two types of automation possible.
