buttons do not work

[phqzgunsfjror]

Hi Anetczuk,

At first: great project and thanks for sharing it at GitHub!

I bought an Inwerk Masterlift 2.
The Linak components are CBD6S 300W and I use a DPG1M (its the one without the lightstrip and without the display showing the hight).

My command opening your app:
sudo python3 src/linakdeskapp/main.py

I am able to connect and it is showing all the information. If my desk goes up and down (by my DPG1M) all the values are updated immediately.

If I click on "up" nothing is happening even if I press it longer (the other buttons do not work either). The log output is:

2020-05-09 11:08:46,695 DEBUG    NotifHndlr-2 linak_dpg_bt.linak_device.LinakDesk:_handle_heigh_speed_notification [linak_device.py:714] Received height: 9960 3160 data: HeightSpeed[DeskPosition[3160] DeskSpeed[0]]

What could be the reason? How can I fix it?

Thank you in advance!

Kind regards,

Hello Lennard,
nice to hear You like the app.

From the log it seems You jest clicked the Up button (pressed and released without waiting). Moving Up/Down works by holding buttons pressed until it is released.
For testing purpose try one of:

1. press Top (Status tab)
2. press Bottom (Status tab)
3. set Fav position and press "Move to" (Device tab) -- if favorites positions is supported in Your device
   We will see what logs say in those cases.

I hope it helps:

It seems that application doesn't receive height notifications from device while sending move requests.
Please investigate, if You receive following logs when moving desk with the controller:

2020-05-31 22:30:49,69 DEBUG NotifHndlr-1 linak_dpg_bt.linak_device.LinakDesk:_handle_heigh_speed_notification [linak_device.py:714] Received height: 10410 3427 data: HeightSpeed[DeskPosition[3427] DeskSpeed[2688]] 2020-05-31 22:30:49,167 DEBUG NotifHndlr-1 linak_dpg_bt.linak_device.LinakDesk:_handle_heigh_speed_notification [linak_device.py:714] Received height: 10406 3423 data: HeightSpeed[DeskPosition[3423] DeskSpeed[2448]] 2020-05-31 22:30:49,169 DEBUG NotifHndlr-1 linak_dpg_bt.linak_device.LinakDesk:_handle_heigh_speed_notification [linak_device.py:714] Received height: 10399 3416 data: HeightSpeed[DeskPosition[3416] DeskSpeed[2096]]

Then try to increase following timeout constants.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT.

In addition try one more thing: change method BTLEConnection.send_directional_command in connection.py to following:
@synchronized @DisconnectOnException def send_directional_command(self, directionalCommand): return self._send_command_single(linak_service.Characteristic.CTRL1, directionalCommand, False)

The modification is to change last param from default to False value.

Sorry for answering so late.

This topic is getting more complicated.

DPG1M(1):
I also tried it with the Android app from Linak. With my Samsung S8 I have absolutly no chance to connect. With my Samsung J3 I am able to connect, I see the position, the position gets updated when moving but I cannot control/move with the android app (so same behavior like your Linux app.)

Now back to your questions:
It seems I get moving notifications if I use the deskpanel:

2020-06-14 08:26:06,381 DEBUG    NotifHndlr-2 linak_dpg_bt.linak_device.LinakDesk:_handle_heigh_speed_notification [linak_device.py:714] Received height: 9607 2807 data: HeightSpeed[DeskPosition[2807] DeskSpeed[1968]]

Unfortunately I cannot find what I should change. Neither the timeout nor the method.

~/LinakDeskApp$ grep -rli "DEFAULT_TIMEOUT" .
-

~/LinakDeskApp$ find . connection.py
file or folder not found

~/LinakDeskApp$ grep -rli "BTLEConnection.send_directional_command" .
-

Where can I find it?

In the meantime I got another control panel.
Let's call it DPG1M(2):
I stil cannot connect with my S8 but with my J3. With the J3 I am able to see the high (also updating when moving) and I can move my desk with the android app.
My hope was its the same like your Linux app. I can connect, I see the initial informations but it is not getting updates when I move. I can control the desk with your linux app but it stops for a moment every 2 cm because its not geeting updates about the high. The log is:

Any ideas?

I have a DPG1C.
I faced the same with USB2LIN on Windows (with the old Linak App).
On Windows with the original Desk Control App (the new for BLE), there are also no buttons available.

If i press one of the buttons, the graph and informations are not updated anymore automatically without restarting of the app.

@phqzgunsfjror + @anetczuk : do you have Anti-Collision system installed? I don't have it.

I've an update researching through Linak:

Hi, It sounds like you have a desk (limited version), which do not allow for remote control by an app. The features in the app depends on the desk system. You can try to contact your desk provider, to find a solution for you.

You can find full of such statements of Linak within the Android App comments. But its not clear to me, which component exactly is "limiting" it (cf. https://cdn.linak.com/-/media/files/user-manual-source/de/deskline-dpg-desk-panels-und-desk-control-app-montageanleitung-dt.pdf)

@phqzgunsfjror : If i check my model number in detail, its DPG1CS -- might it be for you too?

@monofox Do you also have an Inwerk Masterlift model which included the DPG1C?
According to the data sheets the 6th position describes limited (=0) or full version (=3), S is not mentioned as option:

DPG1M00-000006 = limited
DPG1M30-000006 = full
https://cdn.linak.com/-/media/files/data-sheet-source/de/bedienelement-dpg1m-datenblatt-dt.ashx

DPG1C02-000006 = limited
DPG1C32-000006 = full

Hi @mckar , yes is a Inwerk Masterlift, but my desk is a bit older. At that point of time there were no DPG1C available, it was a DPF at that point of time.

So i got my DPG1C from a different source (who sold it a bit mixed of DPG1C and DPG1CS). And indeed its a DPG1C02 (= limited).

Hi,
sorry, I missed the notifications.
I have a

• DPG1M30-000006
  • "ver 1.29"
  • "V1-21"

(yeah I got a second one from the manufacturer)
The good thing is: it solved the problems with my smartphone app (was able to set favorites) but gps needs to be enabled while pairing (not only permission).

But I think Linak changes the bluetooth signals. This makes it incompatible with that github repo I guess.

I cannot understand why Linak keeps it proprietary.
