Go to Satellite Service
Click on Sensors
Click on Add New
Select PowerShellSensor
Add this as command $(get-date).ToUniversalTime().ToString('yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss')
Click Store Sensor
Click Send & Active Sensors

Expected behavior
The date as state in Home Assistant

Hello,
I cannot reproduce this:

Snippet from satellite sensor config:

Skons · 2023-08-31T19:17:17Z

this is mine:

[

    "Type": "PowershellSensor",
    "Id": "3a0ef5bd-22bb-475d-9df2-d7ae48bb5430",
    "UpdateInterval": 30,

I noticed i missed ApplyRounding and Round. Stopped the service, edited the json, started the service again. No success. After send and activate the custom config was gone.

The satelite service is 2022.20.0.0. I am running the client from another disk (D:) then the satelite service (C:).

I also tried to change the command to $env:computername, that dit not work either

Zarox666 · 2023-09-05T22:09:49Z

I get the same Error Code executing a Powershell Script that gets the the GPU Power Consumption via some String-Extraction out of nvidia-smi.exe.
This works perfectly fine from the Agent or when testing from the Config, but HomeAssistant shows the value as "error_during_execution".
0

Other Sensors, such as ProcessActive work without any problem.

Zarox666 · 2023-09-10T16:58:45Z

Any ETA on this?
Running the PowerShell Sensor as User instead of Service works, but relogging everytime as User is not the idea behind a Server/Service.

amadeo-alex · 2023-09-10T18:53:22Z

@Zarox666
Hard to give ETA for a fix PR as I'm not able to reproduce this issue.
You may try to help with the investigation by posing the script that is not working for you.

@Skons
Strange that it removes the round config options, are you using newest available version of HASS.Agent?

Skons · 2023-09-10T19:27:56Z

Yes, it is stated in the first post: 2022.14.0.

if you want me to run a debug version, or enable debug logging (if possible), then i am happy to help

Zarox666 · 2023-09-11T08:02:28Z

OK now its gettinig wiered.....

For me the service based sensor on my Server startet to work this morning (without any interaction from my end)
At that time the expected value changed from 0 to 5 and later back to 0.
The Service Sensor changed from unknown to 5 and later correctly to 0.

However the Service based sensor on my PC still reports unknown instead of the correct value of 0

Here is the Script that is used by both Sensors:
(in essence it reads lines out of a .ini file and fills a path variable with that. Then it counts how many running process exist that have their .exe file somewhere under that path and returns that number.)
`
#$DebugPreference = "Continue"

#Include

#Variables
$MinerInstances = 0
Get-Content $PSScriptRoot\mining.ini | Foreach-Object{
$var = $_.Split('=')
New-Variable -Name $var[0] -Value $var[1] -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
}

Write-Debug "#####################################"
Write-Debug "MineManagerPath= $MineManagerPath"
Write-Debug "#####################################"

Get-ChildItem -Path $MineManagerPath -Filter .exe -Recurse -File -Name| ForEach-Object {
$ProcessName = [System.IO.Path]::GetFileNameWithoutExtension($_)
if (Get-Process -Name $ProcessName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)
{
$Process = Get-Process -Name $ProcessName
$ProcessPath = $Process.Path
$ProcessID = $Process.Id
Write-Debug "Found running Process $ProcessName out of $ProcessPath with ProcessID $ProcessID"
if ($ProcessPath -like $MineManagerPath+"" )
{
Write-Debug "Mining-Process found!"
$MinerInstances++
}
}
}

return $MinerInstances
`
The other Script that has the same issue retrieves GPU Power consumption via String extraction from an NVIDIA .exe file.
Its a lot more complex.

Let me set up a Test-Sensor with a power-shell Script that just returns 0 and see how that fares.

EDIT:
And yes, I am fully aware that it now shows "unknown" instead of the original "error_in_execution". I have no explanation for this.
I can even pinpoint when this happend:

Zarox666 · 2023-09-11T08:46:16Z

OK,

succesfull Repro, but only on my PC not on my Server (more on that later).

The Names appended with _service are Service Sensors in HASS, the others are normal Sensors.
all 4 sensor are powershell sensors executing a powershell script containing just one line:
return 0

So this makes it clear, that its not due to the logic inside the Powershell script, but other factors must be at play here.
my Server is a Windows Server 2022 Version 21H2.
my PC is a Windows 10 Versiojn 22H2.
HASS Agent Version on both 2022.14.0

However we need to depart from the notion, that it never works:
(any number including 0 is a valid value)
(times where ZaroxOmega goes black is due to my PC beeing switched off)
(the problem are the yellow "error_during_execution" and grey "unknown" blocks)
last week:

Zarox666 · 2023-09-11T12:42:15Z

I might have made some progress.

My Service Log File on my PC is full with these messages:

I do not see these Messages in the Services Log on my Server, where the Powershell sensor works.

Digging into the Error Message searching for System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding I found that "1" is indeed not a valid codepage.
See:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.text.encoding.getencoding?view=net-7.0
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.text.encoding?view=net-7.0
However its not clear to me, why this would behave different between the two Systems.
1 is not a valid code page for either of them, so I can only assume, that
HASS.Agent.Shared.Managers.PowershellManager.ExecuteWithOutput
might be behaving differently between the two otherwise "identical?" scenarios.

Skons · 2023-09-11T15:11:48Z

It could be that the .Net version makes a difference. Mine is 4.8.09032. Nice find!

Edit: Same here

amadeo-alex · 2023-09-11T16:21:42Z

Good find, thank you both!
I'll take a look at what may be causing this.

amadeo-alex · 2023-09-11T17:44:03Z

From what I've been able to research, it looks like this might be some kind of incompatibility between the .net/.netframework and the keyboard/system languages which are installed on a given system.
@Zarox666 could you please check the keyboard/system languages on both of your systems and look for discrepancies?
In the meantime I'll create a fallback logic to UTF-16 and put it as part of LAB02-Research/HASS.Agent.Staging#14 which should remediate the issue.

Skons · 2023-09-11T18:11:51Z

These are mine

But, as a user i do not have any problem running this. As SYSTEM it is a problem. Maybe there is something else in regards to the SYSTEM "user"?

amadeo-alex · 2023-09-11T18:24:40Z

Fix added to the PR and merged to the bulk PR LAB02-Research/HASS.Agent.Staging#24.
Unfortunately for now the only reliable way to get it is to build the project yourself :\ (I don't recommend accepting exe files/binaries from me or any other random internet user)

Skons · 2023-09-11T19:33:40Z

There is progress, but its not what i expected:

amadeo-alex · 2023-09-11T19:54:20Z

What the...I'm quite certain that is neither English or Dutch :D
Can I please have those ?chinese? characters?

amadeo-alex · 2023-09-11T20:13:54Z

Yeah, using unicode/utf-16 causes "normal" characters to become chinese and using utf-8 causes the chinese characters to be broken. How one cannot love text encoding...

Skons · 2023-09-11T20:27:22Z

In the hass agent, the value is correct

Skons · 2023-09-11T20:34:20Z

Just a side note: i saw that the implementation is done by executing powershell.exe. Are you aware that you could implement powershell c# natively? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/developer/hosting/host01-sample?view=powershell-7.3

And second: if you'll keep on using the commandline, did you know the command executed by powershell.exe can be base64 encoded? https://devblogs.microsoft.com/scripting/powertip-encode-string-and-execute-with-powershell/

amadeo-alex · 2023-09-11T20:38:31Z

In the hass agent, the value is correct

Ok now I think I'm missing something, if I force the sensor to use utf-16 both the HASS.Agent preview and HA are malformed for me:

Script:
$(get-date).ToUniversalTime().ToString('yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss')

Skons · 2023-09-11T20:49:08Z

I am unable to store the sensor with the latest version. The sensors.json is not created.:

amadeo-alex · 2023-09-11T20:52:58Z

You're using this branch? LAB02-Research/HASS.Agent.Staging#14

amadeo-alex · 2023-09-11T21:07:24Z

Ok, I've changed it to fallback to utf-8 since I need to drop from the PC and don't want to leave a borked PR hanging around.
This should fix the issue partially as all "standard" characters should work. Everything else like chinese/polish characters will not display correctly.

I tried to fiddle with the settings but no matter what/how I configure the process which is launched, the "normal" part of the output is malformed when utf-16 is used.
I'll try to tackle this from other side tomorrow.
Main issue stays the same, on some systems, for some reason when "CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.TextInfo.OEMCodePage" is called from the service context, it returns 1 instead of proper code page.

Skons · 2023-09-11T21:14:51Z

You're using this branch? LAB02-Research/HASS.Agent.Staging#14

Yes

For what its worth, I also found this in regards to the OEMcodePage: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1812104/relation-between-net-encoding-and-characterset

Zarox666 · 2023-09-11T21:21:19Z

As requested:

There is indeed differences in the language settings. But as Skons has pointed out, this affects only the Service.

Server

PC

.NET Runtime on the Server is 6.0.3 while on the PC it is 6.0.21

Now let me read up on the remainder of the Thread :-)

Zarox666 · 2023-09-11T21:35:26Z

Some thoughts.....

Is it smart to call OEMCodePage? as afaik the OEM in this context would be the hardware manufacturer... and that can vary widely from a laptop over a desktop to a virtual machine.
Instead of explicitly setting the CodePage wouldnt it be better to just let the System use its defaults?
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.globalization.textinfo?view=net-7.0
(See "Remarks")

Sorry if these thoughts are silly... I am just an Escalation Engineer, not a Programmer :-)

amadeo-alex · 2023-09-13T18:09:53Z

I have small progress with the investigation...so, the main culprit here is that even if the process running powershell has the input/output set to X or Y encoding, the powershell internally will still use system encoding.
This causes issues because powershell will output for example "asdäöüąęć" in the current system encoding whatever it might be and process stream reader will interpret it as X or Y encoding that was configuring before running it.

I've found a workaround where "injecting" for example:
[Console]::OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::Unicode
before the script/command itself works properly with Unicode/utf-16 encoding set for the process - this however is not an optimal solution.
This main issue persists that for some reason the "CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.TextInfo.OEMCodePage" returns an invalid value of "1" on some system/keyboard/locale configurations...

amadeo-alex · 2023-09-13T18:55:44Z

This is going to look like a personal notebook but maybe it'll be useful for someone someday :D
As @Zarox666 suggested, not setting the input/output/error encoding causes the scrip/command to work properly with a caveat that some charactes come out as "?":
asdśćżń1äöü23说/説
becomes
asdśćżń1äöü23?/?
I'll take a wild guess that is has something to do with number of bytes required to encode a given character.
Installing additional display language borked this just because so, fun!

What is interesting is that restoring the code setting "StandardOutputEncoding" to OEMCodePage changes nothing in the output.

I'll rewind the git history of this file trying to find a good reasoning to remove this part of the code but if not, the safest way will be to set the StandardOutputEncoding when it is possible (OEMCodePage returns an actual value) and not touch it otherwise.

amadeo-alex · 2023-09-13T19:13:43Z

It was added as part of https://lab02research.youtrack.cloud/issue/hassagent-164 due to #201 so it definitely stays.
Ignoring the encoding when "OEMCodePage fails" is also not a good solution as it'll end up with "Issue: powershell sensor works in HASS.Agent but not in service" sooner or later.

amadeo-alex · 2023-09-13T20:46:58Z

@Skons @Zarox666 could you please try this branch - https://github.com/amadeo-alex/HASS.Agent.Staging/tree/test-powershell-sensor-encoding - on the affected machines and then post the logs? (this branch will create the log entries each time the sensor is updated so don't run it too long)

Expected output is something similar to this:

2023-09-13 22:42:46.730 +02:00 [ERR] ENCODING-TEST: currentCulture  {"ANSICodePage":1252,"OEMCodePage":437,"MacCodePage":10000,"EBCDICCodePage":37,"LCID":9,"CultureName":"en","IsReadOnly":false,"ListSeparator":",","IsRightToLeft":false}

In case something goes wrong (which we expect) there'll be additional

Don't worry :)
Are there any error in the VisualStudio UI before trying to build the project?
I see the PS commandline, just to be sure, have you tried running the command manually or via the VisualStudio UI? (should be the latter)
Please also make sure you have those selected in the VisualStudio Installer:

Text is in one of my languages but the icons are the same no matter the language :)

This is what I clicked:

Not sure where I find the Elements that you shared in your screenshot.
Its it th elist of extensions?

Overall it feels to me as if there is something missing in order to resolve / download these dependancies!?

amadeo-alex · 2023-09-14T21:15:39Z

Oh, looks like you're trying to open the project in Visual Studio Code (it's a multipurpose "light" IDE).
It may be possible to compile c# projects with it but I've never done it - not the "right tool" for this.
To compile c# project/HASS.Agent you need a Visual Studio - https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/pl/vs/community/
The images that I've added are from the "installer".

Zarox666 · 2023-09-14T21:36:39Z

I see.... well ya gotta love Microsoft Product Names

With the crappy internet connection installation will take a while.
I try to get it compiled and tested tomorrow.

But now I finaly know where the Screenshot was taken lol

Skons · 2023-09-15T11:50:21Z

@amadeo-alex here it seems to be fixed :)

amadeo-alex · 2023-09-15T14:25:14Z

Thanks for letting me know @Skons ! Could you please upload part of the logs I mentioned? They should be in the logs folder of satellite service.
They'll tell me which of the possible parameters return sensible values and help with getting the best approach to patch this :D

Skons · 2023-09-15T14:36:12Z

I believe this is what you are searching for?

I am getting exaclty the same Error Messages when trying to build from Visual Studio:

But good that @Skons got it running and can provide feedback.

Skons · 2023-09-15T18:26:25Z

@Zarox666 you’ll need to add nuget as a package manager. This url tells you how to add a custom, but in the screens nuget.org is visible
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/artifacts/nuget/consume?view=azure-devops&tabs=windows

after adding, the packages are added automatically i believe.

amadeo-alex · 2023-09-15T19:02:14Z

Hopefully this time I got if fully right, added the change to both PRs mentioned before :)

Zarox666 · 2023-09-18T05:08:09Z

Ok,
with the help of NuGet I could build the solution and run it.
The Installer Poped up and I went through it, giving it a different name to distinguish it from the original install.
Afterwards my Sensors where gone and only the Sensors from the Service were still there.
The Error and the Lines in the Logfile remained unchanged.
However I noticed, that it is reconnecting MQTT every second or so.
When checking the version it said its running the BETA.
After exiting HASS Agent and restarting it again and recreating the missing Sensors, all went back to normal...

Not sure if I did something wrong there, but if you are certain enough that you found and fixed the problem, and @Skons seems to be able to confirm... what about porting this fix into the release version?

Skons · 2023-09-18T05:18:46Z

I made a backup of the service folder in the program files folder. After copying the new service folder, i could also copy the config folder of the other to the test folder.

Zarox666 · 2023-10-04T08:12:03Z

Sorry for not responding for so long.
My Server (that is also running HA) died and I had a hard time getting it back up and running.
@amadeo-alex
Are further tests still required or are you good with the logs @Skons was able to provide?

Zarox666 · 2023-10-16T13:29:06Z

is there any news on this? any ETA when this will be rolled out as update?

Zarox666 · 2023-12-21T09:35:57Z

has this been implemented by now?

amadeo-alex · 2023-12-24T14:45:02Z

Yesn't :D
It will be part of 2.0.0 release very soon but not in this (original repo) but rather here https://github.com/hass-agent where fork development is in progress.
