I can't get RGBW to work

[Marque1968]

Hi all. Rather a noob here.

I tried to execute this scripts: (device Piushaven - THB is a Wunderground weather station)

Code: Select all

return {
	on = {
		devices = {
			'Piushaven - THB'
		}
	},
	execute = function(domoticz, device)
	    local tempBlue = domoticz.devices('Piushaven - THB').temperature
	    local tempRed  = domoticz.devices('Piushaven - THB').temperature
	    if (tempRed < 5) then tempRed = 5 end
	    if (tempRed > 25) then tempRed = 25 end
	    tempRed = tempRed - 5 
	    tempRed = domoticz.round(tempRed * (256/20))
	    
	    if (tempBlue < -5) then tempBlue = -5 end
	    if (tempBlue > 20) then tempBlue = 20 end
	    tempBlue = 0 - (tempBlue - 20)
	    tempBlue = domoticz.round(tempBlue * (256/25))

		domoticz.log('Device ' .. device.name .. ' was changed. Attempting Blue to ' .. tempBlue .. ', Red to ' .. tempRed, domoticz.LOG_INFO)
	    
	    domoticz.devices(89).setRGB(tempRed,0,tempBlue)  
	    
		domoticz.log('Device ' .. device.name .. ' was changed. Succeeded Blue to ' .. tempBlue .. ', Red to ' .. tempRed, domoticz.LOG_INFO)
	end
}

Upon execution I get:

Code: Select all

2018-04-03 18:45:00.397 dzVents: Info: ------ Start internal script: testrgb:, trigger: every 1 minutes on mon,tue,wed,thu,fri
2018-04-03 18:45:00.402 dzVents: Error (2.4.1): Method setRGB is not available for device "RGBW-Overloopkast" (deviceType=Color Switch, deviceSubType=RGBWWZ). If you believe this is not correct, please report.

2018-04-03 18:45:00.402 dzVents: Info: ------ Finished testrgb

I also tried the second device the Fibaro RGBW gives me, but the same error occurs.


When I used the Fibaro RGBW the first time I know I had also a switch with an color palet to choose from. That has disapeared since. After which I reinstalled the RGBW dimmer.

Secondly, I should have a setRGBW command, but can't find that.

You have to make sure you use the very latest beta because I merged a fix for this problem. You need to have dzVents 2.4.2 (and you have 2.4.1).

[Marque1968]

Ok, I did allow the update to run this afternoon, and I also selected a reboot. It seems that this has not worked properly, as after I rebooted the OS (Ubuntu) tonight, I got different logs.

I created a test script (as not to need to wait until the temperature drops significantly)

Code: Select all

return {
on = {
        timer = {'Every 1 minutes on mon,tue,wed,thu,fri'}
    },
	execute = function(domoticz)
	    domoticz.devices(99).setRGB(255,0,0)
		domoticz.log('Device was changed', domoticz.LOG_INFO)
	end
}

This is the resulting log now.

Code: Select all

Secondly, is there no way to also set the white value? (as I have an RGBW led-strip) Seperate command is acceptable.

PS. Temperature drop was apparently sufficient. The same error occurs here:

There is an encoding issue in the url being used to set the color. Looks like the build isn't using the proper encoding. No idea how that happens or how that can be fixed. It's not a dzVents issue.

[dannybloe]

And please use code tags when you post something with code.

[Marque1968]

Ah. Yes. Long time since I used BB's. I'll try to remember to use those code tags again.

So, just wait for the next nightly build, I assume.

EDIT: Updates my posts above with the correct BBcode for the code-blocks

[dannybloe]

I don't know.. I'll ask around what could be wrong.

[Marque1968]

The other question still remains. There are rgb-leds and white-leds on my LED-strip. I would like to activate (in some circumstances) the white leds aswell (thus together with the RGB's).

Hello i have same problems as you

http://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic ... 59&t=22889
are you going to fill bugreport, or should do I ...?
Im also on ubuntu, dunno if others systems have similar problems

[dannybloe]

I think I have fixed this in the upcoming 2.4.3. Well, not fixed it but worked around it. Looks like on some systems &param in a url is encoded to ¶m. Will be merged later today.

[devros]

great thanks

[Marque1968]

I saw that shortning of param aswell. I changed my script accordingly:

Code: Select all

return {
	on = {
		devices = {
			'Piushaven - THB'
		}
	},
	execute = function(domoticz, device)
	    local tempDisplay = domoticz.devices('Piushaven - THB').temperature
	    local tempBlue    = domoticz.devices('Piushaven - THB').temperature
	    local tempRed     = domoticz.devices('Piushaven - THB').temperature
	    if (tempRed < 5) then tempRed = 5 end
	    if (tempRed > 25) then tempRed = 25 end
	    tempRed = tempRed - 5 
	    tempRed = domoticz.utils.round(tempRed * (256/20))
	    
	    if (tempBlue < -5) then tempBlue = -5 end
	    if (tempBlue > 20) then tempBlue = 20 end
	    tempBlue = 0 - (tempBlue - 20)
	    tempBlue = domoticz.utils.round(tempBlue * (256/25))

		domoticz.log('Local temperature now ' .. tempDisplay .. ' degrees. Setting Blue to ' .. tempBlue .. ', and Red to ' .. tempRed, domoticz.LOG_INFO)
	    
	    -- domoticz.devices(89).setRGB(tempRed,0,tempBlue)  
	    domoticz.openURL('http://127.0.0.1:8088/json.htm?type=command&param=setcolbrightnessvalue&idx=130&color={"m":3,"t":0,"r":' .. tempRed .. ',"g":0,"b":' .. tempBlue .. ',"cw":0,"ww":0}&brightness=100');
	    
		domoticz.log('Device ' .. device.name .. ' was changed. ', domoticz.LOG_INFO)
	end
}

And indeed I got the same error.

(in html ¶ gives this character indeed, so I would assume a workaround would be counterproductive as I assume Domoticz will fix it tomorrow, wouldn't you think?)

[Marque1968]

Just to inform you, the update upto now do not yet work. Sending a URL, still get the ¶m, and running the original code shows like a new line. I think you've done the same thing I tried. Send code differently, to avoid the "&para" combination. I went as far as "&param" but even though the log then displays "&param", it still gave an error, whilst copying that url to the browser did execute. The log therefor not identical to what is literally send...

[dannybloe]

Well, we have been diving in this ¶ issue and it turns out that it is only a rendering artefact of the log viewed in the browser. Can you check the log in a terminal?
I suspect that the error message has nothing to do with dzVents. Can you try to open the url that you see in the log directly in the browser (with the proper &param entry of course).

[Marque1968]

Where is the log located? (linux)

[dannybloe]

you can start domoticz on the command-line: ./domoticz
Stop the service first.
