Strange behaviour here.... i want to add the Hue Bridge so a added "hardware" ->

All looking good... but when i click "Register on Bridge" i get :

What to do?

Leave the username empty, then press register, it should give you a new username.
i think domoticz is to short, or because it is registered as device 'domoticz' you can not also use the username 'domoticz'

Yes, that is it. You cant fill in a username by yourself. Maybe good idea to disable that input box and say next to it will be automatically filled! This is confusing!

I don't get it.
Using build 2084 on Windows, I can only add the Hue Bridge with username "newdeveloper" which I created on the Hue Bridge.
I cannot register it or add it with a different username (it also does not generate a user).
Even when I add it with the newdeveloper-user it doesn't list any lights.
In the logging the following is displayed:
Tue Oct 28 20:44:06 2014 Philips Hue: Worker started...
Tue Oct 28 20:44:06 2014 EventSystem stopped...

What am I doing wrong?

Add a bridge to the hardware page but DON'T fill in the username, just click "Register on bridge", a username is generated automatically.

Everything is working goed now

Is it possible to read the current color from lights in the webinterface from domoticz instead of only the script? (maybe with a text field below the rgb color picker or something?)

I suggested that in a separate topic already

Would be great!

I really hate to bother you guys with this, but I'm still not getting it to work.
The register-proces works now (creates a random user) and then I press "add" and everything seems ok.
However, there are no lights added to the devices tab.
Screenshot added:

Can you post the output of

(Change the IP and Username to the on in the hardware setup)

I get 6 lights with this, are you sure 'accept new hardware' is enabled in the application settings ?

Using the new functionality of otherdevices_svalues for the Hue lights

, I have been playing around with my Hue lights and trying to rewrite my previous scripts (http://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Philips_Hu ... Hue_Scenes) which captured the current lights state and stored it within Domoticz as a scene to be replayed at a later date.

Unfortunately, the sat;hue returned by otherdevices_svalues are just the last values sent from Domoticz and are not the current colour of the lights.

Of course this is obvious when I think about it,

, otherdevices_svalues is sent every script which is run,

so the overhead of querying the lights everytime a script is run just doesn't make sense. (I guess this doesn't happen in realtime for other parameters of lights for the same reason?)

So a direct query of the Philips Hue bridge from Lua will still be the best way to get the true colour values to both capture different states of the lights as set by other apps, but also to check that the lights were actually displaying the expected colours.

I guess this would also be the way to set the colour picker in the web ui to reflect the current colour of the lights, but this would require the device displaying the web ui to be registered with the Philips Hue bridge, as the query would need to come from Javascript on the web page.

When you change the hue of a light, wait at least 10 seconds, then check the svalue in the database, it should be there (see the code)

The svalues don't seem to change (v2.2095), I have had a look at the code, but afraid my C++ is not up to understand the abstraction.

I have a very simple script:

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}

print('Hue Lamp 1 '..tostring(otherdevices_svalues['Hue Lamp 1']))
print('Hue Lamp 2 '..otherdevices_svalues['Hue Lamp 2'])
print('Hue Lamp 3 '..otherdevices_svalues['Hue Lamp 3'])

return commandArray

But the log shows the same values no matter what I do to the lights, they seem to change when I restart Domoticz:

Code: Select all

Thanks for adding Hue support. I've just downloaded Domoticz to try it out, and all works well, great

One thing I'm missing though is the 'transitiontime' argument, is there a way to accomplish this (via the interface of LUA)? As it's my first day working with Domoticz I'm very unfamiliar with the system.

The reason I want this is for a wake up light, and soft transitions from one scene to another.

Thanks in advance for any help.

No this is not supported, but with a bit of work, you can make this work....
You have to add timers, for example each minute further more brightness

Is this transition time possible via the API ?
