Problems installing on Windows with instructions given #134

Appreciate this may not be particular to emporia-vue-local, or even esphome, but following the instructions given I encountered a lot of errors which I have spent the best part of 4 hours now trying to figure out with the help of online searches etc, but I have hit one that I just cannot get past despite reading a lot about others who had similar errors.

The first line in red below is about "Access denied" - having worked with Windows all my life I am familiar with checking security permissions and ensuring I'm running terminal / command line as administrator. However that doesn't resolve it. I have uninstalled and reinstalled python about 10 times using various different options and versions, running the install as administrator, and followed slightly different procedures for installing esphome (first running pip install wheel, and also without). Each time I have gone through the install locations after uninstalling and manually removed leftover python folders. I have carefully inspected the installation locations and windows PATH entries.

But each time it brings me back to the errors below.

Can someone help me with this one?

To get to the below, I installed Python 3.11, ensuring I check the option to add to PATH, restarted command line as administrator, then ran

pip install wheel
pip install esptool
pip install esphome

esphome run vue2.yaml

All errors when running the above are shown in the screenshot below (no other errors before that point)

Ignore the below, it's just a cut and paste from screenshot above in case it helps future google searches!

ERROR: Could not install packages due to an OSError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: 'C:\\Users\\mat\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python311\\Lib\\site-packages\\~harset_normalizer\\md.cp311-win_amd64.pyd'
Consider using the `--user` option or check the permissions.

Literally spent three hours this morning, so that's 6 in total, just trying to flash this thing!! Soldering took 5 mins, software taking hours! Takes me about 2 mins to flash a tasmota :(

So I took a different approach as clearly Windows and python are a nightmare. Installed a new RPi and installed python and ESPHome etc.

When I run esphome run vue2.yaml it just gives an error:

So I tried to run esphome run dashboard then created a new item in the ESPHome dashboard, added my YAML to the code editor, then validated it and it says this:

Yup, that's really frustrating :(

Sounds like your installation got corrupted somehow. I haven't seen a platform' is a required option for [esphome] error before.

Are you following the instructions at https://esphome.io/guides/installing_esphome.html exactly? Or alternatively using docker?

Do you have a firewall that's blocking the installation of certain things?

I tried it on Win, then on a separate RPi box with two different outcomes. Yeh I followed that guide when installing esphome on Windows.

I got a lot further with the RPi. On the Pi, I simply ran pip3 install esphome, then pip3 install esptool then checked it would communicate with my device plugged in to USB with esptool.py flash_id and that worked, it returned the MAC address of the Emporium Vue2, so that's good.

But when running esphome run vue2.yaml (which is a file in the same directory, containing the copy-pasted yaml file with the changes required), it gave the error below:

Usually better to copy-paste the error for google & for blind folks, but it looks like you that error is saying you got the parameters backwards: try esphome configuration.yaml run

Interesting - so your readme.md says esphome run vue2.yam hence I did it that way around.

So now I get this:

pi@pi-cctv:~ $ esphome vue.yaml run
WARNING You're using ESPHome with python 3.5. Support for python 3.5 is deprecated and will be removed in 1.15.0. Please reinstall ESPHome with python 3.6 or higher.
INFO Reading configuration vue.yaml...
Failed config

esphome: [source vue.yaml:2]

  'platform' is a required option for [esphome].
  name: emporiavue2
  friendly_name: vue2

Next I tried upgrading python using this guide

So now I have reflashed an RPi twice and still simply cannot make it work. This time I was completely unable to install esphome even when following all instructions carefully. I am going to try one more time then if I fail, I've spent nearly 24h on it and may just call it quits and use the cloud Emporium. Can't believe I have failed before even flashing the device :(

Okay so I reinstalled RPi (full fat version), ran all OS updates and installed docker, then ran esphome vue.yaml run and ... surprise surprise, more errors.

I think I remember why I never touched ESPHome before (always used tasmota) - anyway I'd really like to get this working as it's my only hope because tasmota doesn't support the Vue :(

So this time, the error:

pi@pi-cctv:~ $ esphome vue.yaml run

  [friendly_name] is an invalid option for [esphome]. Please check the indentation.

Any idea?

Sorry you're having all this trouble :(

What do you get from esphome version? If it's not Version: 2023.2.3, then it needs to be upgraded.

Can you also include the full logs from when you installed esphome & upgraded your OS?

Thanks for helping me.

pi@pi-cctv:~ $ esphome version
Version: 2022.11.0-dev

What's the command to upgrade esphome? I don't know how to even select the version.

Just now I have run pip uninstall esphome then pip install esphome again, and here are the logs:

Great so now I have:

pi@pi-cctv:~ $ esphome version
Version: 2023.2.4

And I have just run esphome vue.yaml run, and it seems to be running through the installs. Looks promising.

Incidentally, when I ran that it also said

Calling ESPHome with the configuration before the command is deprecated and will be removed in the future.

pip install --upgrade esphome will upgrade esphome, but your approach of uninstalling & reinstalling is also correct (--upgrade does exactly the same thing, but automatically)

Calling ESPHome with the configuration before the command is deprecated and will be removed in the future.

Makes sense :)

The README is correct with the new version, but it just confused the old version.

Hope it all goes through correctly!

Okay so I just found this post here on discussions, which deals with the problem I was having back on Windows.

So out of desperation, I have switched back to Windows and I am now past that frustrating error about charset-normalizer.

Now I run it and I get this error:

CMake Error at .pioenvs/emporiavue2/CMakeFiles/git-data/grabRef.cmake:48 (file):
  file failed to open for reading (No such file or directory):

Any ideas?

As I have already sunk so much money and time into this, I really need it to succeed, but the process of compiling seems utterly riddled with problems :(

Sunk cost fallacy also comes into play... anyway.

Would suggest deleting the .pioenvs folder, trying again, and posting the full log you get.

Like you, I have tried all the various fixes on Windows with no problem. Used fresh python installs, pipx, virtualenvs, 3.11 and 3.10, all independently and separately with no success. Finally gave up on Windows and failed to compile on a Ubuntu 22.04 Server as well.

Last ditch effort was to compile using the esphome/esphome docker image. This worked like a champ and resolves any dependency issues that can't be figured out on other platforms. Then I copied the firmware.bin file back to my Windows computer and used esphome-flasher to upload to the vue2.

@biker2000on Thanks - that's useful. I actually installed the docker image but then because the readme.md file for this project didn't specify exact steps for doing this in docker, I started the docker instance then just continued with the commands in linux. I don't think I entered the docker environment. Would you mind helping me out with a general overview of the process (i.e. for docker-dummies)? If you wouldn't mind pasting in the exact commands you used that would be excellent. I'm confident getting the firmware onto the ESP as I've done it loads of times with other device types and firmwares, it's the compiling of the firmware I had a huge problem with!

biker2000on Mar 13, 2023

No problem.

I am a fan of using docker compose, so I used this file content for docker-compose.yml:

version: '3'
services:
  esphome:
    container_name: esphome
    image: esphome/esphome
    volumes:
      - .:/config
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    restart: always
    privileged: true
    network_mode: host

Then I entered the shell by:

docker compose up -d
docker compose exec esphome /bin/bash
# this gets you in the docker container shell
esphome compile vue2.yml
# this ran successfully on the first try. 

# you could also do the below:
# this links the current directory so your vue2.yml is accessible and compiles it. 
docker run --rm -v "${PWD}":/config -it esphome/esphome compile vue2.yml

This will print out where it saved the firmware.bin file.

Then I used scp to move it from my linux dev box to my windows machine.

Installed esphome-flasher and used the GUI to install the firmware to the Vue board.
