error when running generate_auth_token.py

Don't use the pip version. Needs upgrading. Use the github repo. Good luck!

What do you exactly mean ?

I do get
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./generate_auth_token.py", line 2, in
import homematicip.auth
File "/home/cam/homematicip-rest-api/homematicip/auth.py", line 7, in
from homematicip.home import Home
File "/home/cam/homematicip-rest-api/homematicip/home.py", line 12, in
import websocket
ImportError: No module named 'websocket'

@kuzco1 This is not really homematic related but you could try and do the following:

# create a virtualenv
cd # go to your home folder.
python3 -m venv hmip # create virtualenv
cd hmip # enter the virtualenv
source bin/activate # activate it.
# get this library from github.
git clone https://github.com/coreGreenberet/homematicip-rest-api.git
cd homematicip # enter the cloned folder
pip install -r requirements.txt # install requirements.
python setup.py install # install the actual library.

After this try and generate the auth token.

Many thanks. Working now 👍 :-)

Hello,
sorry, but I have to asked again (I am not a Linux guru).
I was able to "list may things", i.e. firmware, groups, etc..

After disconnecting my SSH session yesterday and reconnecting today; I have again an issue.
Going to hmip/homematicip-rest-api and running:
root@camserver:~/hmip/homematicip-rest-api# python ./homematicip_cli.py --list-firmware
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./homematicip_cli.py", line 12, in
from homematicip.home import Home
File "/root/hmip/homematicip-rest-api/homematicip/home.py", line 12, in
import websocket
ImportError: No module named 'websocket'

Any hint is welcome.

@kuzco1
do a pip freeze and see whether it says websocket somewhere (after you've activated the virtualenv)
btw. this is not linux stuff. This is python related. Works on windows too !

i found the problem, if you type python on raspbean it uses python2 but the script works only with python3 so type python3 , things you need to know :)

and for installation
pip3 install homematicip
