better hue integration?

[prein]

I am using the lua script posted above to check the hue status directly from the bridge. This is done every minute.

This is still a workaround. Can I be of some help somewhere?

[florabora]

I read this thread and love the workaround for status update and I want to take the challenge even one step further...
How would one be able to use coca switches to trigger a Hue and set a dim state?
Background; I would like to reuse my already mounted wireless 433mhz coca wall switches to trigger the Hue.
Currently they are triggering a coca dimmer built-in in the wall and I am using regular light bulbs right now.
I want to change them to Hue lamps

[JustME125]

I use kaku (coco) stuff all the time in combination with HUE. Simply detect the coco events and trigger Hue lights or scenes with domoticz. Using dimmers would be harder I think (I don't have any dimmers so I can't test it). I control various lighting scenes with coco remote through domoticz.

Greets!

I use Nexa LYCT-705 remote to control my Hue scenes. Guessing this is similar to Kaku, Coco?

Don't have any dimmers so I don't know what kind of values you get from the dimmer, but if you get percentage like 10, 20, 30 and so on this could be done with a little work.
Take a look at my scripts below, maybe you can use something there.

Had an issue with my Hue hub and needed to reset the hub and lost all my scenes. To prevent that in the future I wanted to have the most common Hue scenes values stored in Domoticz.
Also use this common scenes from different scripts so I wanted the scenes values in one place. This is how I did it.

Thought about it some more and maybe it's possible to work with user var in domoticz and some kind of a foreach statement in a script in order to change between a couple of presets?

For instance.
Default = 0
Switch on = var+1 = preset hue #1
Switch on = var+1 = preset hue #2
Switch on = var+1 = preset hue #3
Switch off = var-1 = preset hue #2
Switch off = var-1 = preset hue #1
Switch off = var-1 = preset hue #0

Would that be possible you think?

[JustME125]

I did something like that in the past with a coco wall switch. Kept a variable with the number of the active scene and used the wall switch to do the +/-1 trick. All scenes also updated this variable in case I changed a scene through domoticz to keep track of the active scene. I abandoned that solution when my pi crashed and I didn't have a backup.

For anyone who is interested my script to check the status of all hue lights by looping until no more lights are found.

Code: Select all

-- script to check Philips Hue light status (on/off)
-- m.hagenaars
-- feb. 2016

-- you'll need to install socket library & dkjson, more info can be found here:
-- http://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Upload_energy_data_to_PVoutput#Install_socket_library
-- http://dkolf.de/src/dkjson-lua.fsl/home
-- both need to end up in /usr/local/lib/lua/5.2

-- this time based script wil use the HUE api to check the current status of your lights as reported by the HUE bridge
-- the script starts with light #1 and checks if the status reported by your bridge corresponds with the status in Domoticz
-- if HUE state is not equal to Domoticz state then the script will correct the status in Domoticz
-- the script will keep looping until there are no more lights to check and will then stop
-- in order for the script to work it is important that the names of each light are exactly equal in both your bridge & domoticz
-- I suppose you know the names of the HUE switches in Domoticz, you can check the names in your bridge with the HUE app

-- more info on Philips HUE api and how to get/change your username can be found here: 
-- http://www.developers.meethue.com/documentation/getting-started

-- configure Hue Bridge
local hueBridgeIP = 'your IP here'
local hueBridgeAPI = 'your username here'


-- do not change beyond this line
-- this part will get the Hue status
function getHueLight(id)
   local http = require('socket.http')
   local ltn12 = require('ltn12')
   local json = require('dkjson')

   t = {}
   local url = string.format("http://%s/api/%s/lights/%s", hueBridgeIP, hueBridgeAPI, id)
   b, c, h = http.request{url=url, sink = ltn12.sink.table(t), method='GET'}
   huestring = tostring(table.concat(t))
   local hue, pos, err = json.decode(huestring, 1, nil)
   if (hue.name) then 
      hue_name = (hue.name)
      hue_state = (hue.state.on)
   else
      stop = true
   end 
   return hue_name, hue_state, stop
end


-- now check Hue state & correct Domoticz if needed
commandArray = {}

i = 1
repeat
    local hue = getHueLight(i)
    if hue_state == true and otherdevices[hue_name] == 'Off' then
       commandArray[hue_name] = 'On'
	   print(string.format("Status %s corrigeren", hue_name))
    elseif hue_state == false and otherdevices[hue_name] ~= 'Off' then
	   commandArray[hue_name] = 'Off'
	   print(string.format("Status %s corrigeren", hue_name))
    end
    i = i + 1
until(stop) 
return commandArray

The latest beta should now trigger on/off actions if Hue lights are switched outside of Domoticz.

[wmn79]

That would be great! I'll try and see if I can test it this weekend. Will this also update the logs off the switches themselves when lights are switched outside of domoticz? Really appreciate your effort.

[arjanw]

Yes, the logs should also be updated.

[tcorneillie]

can something like this be done for Niko Home Control lights too? I'm new to Lua, so i need some help...

thanks in advance
