Improvement ideas for RGBW leds

[eeweew]

I really would like a way to set the color temperature of my Philips Hue lights directly from the dashboard. I want normal light color temperature change way more often than a crazy color. An extra slider or something would be nice.

I made a question in another thread. Maybe it was misplaced or not a very interesting subject. I would love to be able to select animation programs again.

I have a FIBARO RGBW Controller and I know it has 5 nice animation programs built in. I don't know how to activate theses programs in Domoticz. I was hoping there is a way to select and start an animation program using a Lua script.

Predefined animation programs

6 = Fireplace
7 = Storm
8 = Rainbow
9 = Aurora
10 = LPD

I've put a couple of fixes in for AppLamp, under AppLamp All switch if it's a RGB or RGBW you should have the brightness/disco mode, speed settings available. Let me know what works and doesn't and also what you have connected i.e. RGBW 4 Zone controller or an LED RGBW Lamp etc... Just so i can understand the hardware differences as the API docs are pretty crap.

great! works nice!
but maybe icons or sliders are better then the current buttons?
and can you put this also on the rgbw popup on dashboard? now you must go to switches> edit lamp_all
it would be a lot easiers and faster that way.

I can't find a popup on the dashboard for this, is there some other hardware that provides it?

[remb0]

I have an applamp/limitled/mi-light and I have rgbw_all rgbw_group1 at dasboard (favorite) when I click on the Icon I get a popup with colour selector.

Ok, can you look in your devices table and tell me what type of hardware the applamp is, subtype is obviously RGB or RGBW but am interested if your says Dimmer.

@sijones: I had the same troubles as mentioned here. The devices where added as on/off switch. I manually changed it to dimmer and that seems to work fine (on the dashboard, not on the switches tab).

I am using the latest stable version, am not at home so cannot check the exact version number.

I have the newer RGBW bulbs and would like to integrate the white command onto the existing pop-up, where do i start?
Next step would be the other automatic commands (disco/pulse/...)

Thanks!

Just order my first mylight set, following this tread with attention.

A simple question, is there a aurora option to simulate sun wakeup ?

You can make your own script if you want. There is already a script in the wiki I think. Even for a non scripter like me it was quite easy to do

OK thx for this, my kit just left shenzen...If hyperion can be controled too without script it could be perfect

Got my first set last week...

Integration is good.

Can't see disco mode and +- speed on switch popup, what i'm missing ?

Is there a way to add night saver mode for warm white ?

[remb0]

is it possible to use the disco program of other animations in lua?
So we can use it for example when somebody presses the doorbell?

The popup hasn't been altered to include the disco mode as i couldn't find it - am still new to the code base and learning where things are stored.

Night saver mode could be added on server side, it's the UI i have issues with!

Anything is possible, but the javascript frontend isn't my strongest point so this is what is holding me back on this, there is going to be a fair change to the code base for UI so i wouldn't want to start doing any UI stuff until it's been changed. Also am currently writing Panasonic TV support so once i've finished this i can go back and visit this.

As a workaround you could use a virtual switch to trigger discomode via the json api then a delay to turn the switch off will turn off the light.
