ERROR: Cannot find ini file about a-ok-am43-blinds-drive HOT 11 CLOSED

maybe because running in python2 ?

try:
sudo python3 /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/python/AOK-AM43.py

from a-ok-am43-blinds-drive.

from a-ok-am43-blinds-drive.

To be sure, that means the "/A-OK_AM43_Blind_Drive/" folder is in the root of the pi, on the same level as the "home" folder for example? If yes, I already did that but gives the same error.

The service is running but is that needed for the script?

yes - this solved the problem for me :-)

Adjusted the readme and explained it to prevent this. I cannot program it because it is failing at pre-compiling within Python.

Funny that this issue is closed because someone says it solved his issue while the topic starter didn't even test it yet.

When I run

sudo python3 /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/python/AOK-AM43.py

I get te following

Is another server is still running?
try:
ps -fA | grep python
and post the result

So indeed you get this traceback if it is already running.
I've managed to get it working now and am trying to control it by Domoticz. I've got a question, is the service started up at a reboot or do I need to add a start command somewhere the service is started at boot.

from a-ok-am43-blinds-drive.

you need to start it
e.g. by cron:
sudo crontab -e
#add this:
@reboot /usr/bin/python3 /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/python/AOK-AM43.py > /dev/null 2>&1 &

or add this to /etc/rc.local before exit 0:
/usr/bin/python3 /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/python/AOK-AM43.py > /dev/null 2>&1 &
