Lifx add-on can’t load on Gateway version 1.0.0

[amurillo1229]

Hi everyone,

Hope somebody can help me out with my query.

I’ve got a Raspberry Pi 4 which runs the Gateway version 1.0.0. I’ve added the Lifx add-on but I’m getting multiple errors when trying to enable it. Please see below:

2021-04-01 01:53:47.753 INFO : Loading add-on: lifx-adapter

Looks like the add-on tries to load but the script main.py is having some problems in line 31 and right after that, the add-on gets several errors and then dies. I compared the line with other add-on I have in my Gateway which works and they are exactly the same, so I can’t figure out what the error is:

_ADAPTER = TPLinkAdapter(verbose=_DEBUG)
_ADAPTER = LifxAdapter(verbose=_DEBUG)

I’m just wondering if somebody’s had the same error and also if there is a solution.

Really appreciate your support and prompt response in this matter as I’ve been stuck in this error for a while.

Thanks.

Hey Anderson,
I was able to fix this by install the latest version of the python module for lifxlan inside the addon 1.2.5 -> 1.2.7

1. cd into /home/pi/.webthings/addons/lifx-adapter
2. ignore checksums git init
3. curl -o lifxlan-1.2.7.tar.gz https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/4f/c3/e8b58064578e2fecf8778f685a79a6d505fba7151e3842fec06ed0314544/lifxlan-1.2.7.tar.gz
4. tar -xf lifxlan-1.2.7.tar.gx
5. mv lifxlan-1.2.7/lifxlan/* .webthings/addons/lifx-adapter/lib/lifxlan/
6. reload adapter
