Failed to open the device: 'AlarmDecoder' object has no attr

[wls-canada]

Having a very old version of the webapp for an AD2USB, I installed the latest from Git https://github.com/nutechsoftware/alarmdecoder-webapp

However, after setting the AlarmDecoder settings, Device Testing fails thus:

Opening device ✘ Failed to open the device: 'AlarmDecoder' object has no attribute 'on_ready_changed'
Saving device configuration ✘ There was an error sending the command to the device.
Keypad communication (Send) ✘ There was an error sending the command to the device.
Keypad communication (Receive) ✘ There was an error sending the command to the device.

I can't find anything on that first critical bit... here is the gunicorn log

Found the problem in https://github.com/nutechsoftware/alarmdecoder

The pip install for alarmdecoder installs an older version that does not have the class definitions for the latest alarmdecoder-webapp. I had to go to the source.

Can you give some detail on how you fixed this. I'm using the current docker image and getting the same issue. I'm not familiar enough with python.pip to know what the solution is.

EDIT: After looking a bit more, I don't think I'm having the same issue. I didn't instal Alarmdecoder through pip. I have the latest from the git repo.

Jason,

I'm no python programmer either, but take a look in your alarmdecoder source for decoder.py, for the class AlarmDecoder(object) definition. Verify that you see the on_ready_ changed. (Note, this is a different file than the similarly-named decoder.py that exists in your webapp source).

Code: Select all

class AlarmDecoder(object):
    """
    High-level wrapper around `AlarmDecoder`_ (AD2) devices.
    """

    # High-level Events
    on_arm = event.Event("This event is called when the panel is armed.\n\n**Callback definition:** *def callback(device, stay)*")
    on_disarm = event.Event("This event is called when the panel is disarmed.\n\n**Callback definition:** *def callback(device)*")
    on_power_changed = event.Event("This event is called when panel power switches between AC and DC.\n\n**Callback definition:** *def callback(device, status)*")
    on_ready_changed = event.Event("This event is called when panel ready state changes.\n\n**Callback definition:** *def callback(device, status)*")

Thanks for the response, wls-canada. I've reinstalled from the pre-configured docker image and am getting a different issue now. I posted here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=809
