Dim Ikea Tradfri Bulb [Solved]

[fvdp80]

A dzVents noob, with a noob question.

I'm trying to dim a Ikea TRadfri Bulb when the doorbell is pressed, but i keep on getting an error for the dimTo part.
If I only use the switchOn command the light will turn on. So that part is working.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

        end

the dimTo > 0 does already imply a switchOn()

Code: Select all

return {
    active = true,
    on = {
        devices = {
            'Voordeur - Bel'
        }
    },
    execute = function(domoticz, Switch)
        
        if (Switch.state == 'Click' ) then
            domoticz.devices('Voordeur - Lamp').dimTo(100)
            Switch.switchOff().silent() -- to prevent a retrigger of the script
        end
    end
}

If i only use dimTo(100) the light doesn't change to on, but no errors in the log.

If i only use dimTo(100) the light doesn't change to on, but no errors in the log.

To what type of hardware is the light connected ? If connected to a plugin type hardware then please report this to the developer of that plugin.

as workaround you could try

Code: Select all

return {
    active = true,
    on = {
        devices = {
            'Voordeur - Bel'
        }
    },
    execute = function(domoticz, Switch)
        
        if (Switch.state == 'Click' ) then
         domoticz.devices('Voordeur - Lamp').switchOn()
            domoticz.devices('Voordeur - Lamp').dimTo(100).afterSec(0.4)
            Switch.switchOff().silent() -- to prevent a retrigger of the script
        end
    end
}

Again no luck.
The light turns on with the first command

Code: Select all

domoticz.devices('Voordeur - Lamp').switchOn()

But immediately turns off with the second command

Code: Select all

domoticz.devices('Voordeur - Lamp').dimTo(100).afterSec(0.4)

It's an Ikea Tradfri Bulb connected to Domoticz through Zigbee2MQTT plugin.

what do you see in the domoticz log ?
And is there an option in this Zigbee2MQTT plugin to switch on extra debug logging?

I've tried several command and lights which are controlled through the Zigbee2MQTT plugin and I found that the zigbee dimmer is
responding to the dimTo() command, but the Ikea Tradfri E27 bulb and the Tradfri GU10 bulb don't respond to that command. But I can
dim the Ikea lights with the slider.

I also made a blockly to switch on the Voordeur - Lamp to 80% and that works like a charm.

Below are the logs with loglevel enabled for Zigbee2MQTT plugin.

Don't know how, but after transferring to a new RPI with Buster and latest Domoticz Beta,
the dimTo() commmand is working for the Ikea Tradfri lights.
