Hi There,
For all RGBW(W) lightning Limitless dzvent script options you must first switchOn() the bulb before you can do any set..... commands.
See below.
current support:
Code: Select all
domoticz.devices(BULB1).setRGB(125,125,125).afterSec(5)
domoticz.devices(BULB1).dimTo(50).afterSec(5)
Your plugin:
Code: Select all
domoticz.devices(BULB1).switchOn()
domoticz.devices(BULB1).setRGB(125,125,125).afterSec(5)
domoticz.devices(BULB1).dimTo(50).afterSec(5)
Problem is that when you want turn on a bulb and change color its not possible. in current The whole action is wait for 5 seconds then it turn the bulb on, then change the color, then dim to given brightness.
With your plugin you cant do this. You can turn on the bulb directly then wait 5 seconds turn set color and brightness. Add the ,afterSec() behind the switchOn() then bulb goes on after 5 seconds, but the set color and brightness have no effect anymore (maybe it send the command earlier then bulb is on)
Below I try to test all the set .... command in dzVents script system to see if they working with you plugin.
setRGB(red, green, blue) -
Not working yet
RGB White color: -
Not working yet, RGB (255,255,255) seems not work. The previous color is showing instead of white
setColor(r, g, b, br, cw, ww, m, t) -
Working
setHex(r, g, b) -
Working
setKelvin(Kelvin) -
Working, remember that value must be between 0-100
setWhiteMode() -
Not working yet, in progress with developer
setDisco -
Working
setNightMode -
Working
setHue -
Working You need to provide hue (0-360) and brightness(0-100), setHue(300,10) makes the lamp dim pink
increaseBrightness / decreaseBrightness -
Not working yet, in progress with developer
@dannybloe @waaren maybe you can assist this great programmer and maybe give some advice?
I don't know if this is good information for you ?

Hi, I'm there! I will investigate the dzVents commands, as I run stable domoticz these were not available when I developped the plugin. Now a new stable has been released, I will test.
Regarding the devices not updating when you send a lot of commands, I would really need to see the output of MQTT as I asked you in the previous post. This will hint where the problem is.
Thanks!

Hi nice work, do you have Github repository? It is simplier to use git pull for install plugins.
Thanks

Hi,
I just tested:
setKelvin : it works on my setup. Don't forget that the value is not actual Kelvin, but 0-100
setHue : it works on my setup. You need to provide hue (0-360) and brightness(0-100)
Example : setHue(300,10) makes the lamp dim pink
setRGB : it seems to work. But maybe this depends on the bulb type
setWhite : the command is not implemented. Will do...
increaseBrightness / decreaseBrightness : the command is not implemented. Will do...

Il will do a git repo. I did not know that you could get domoticz plugin directly from git. Is there a documentation somewhere about the proper format so that domoticz downloads the plugins properly?

What do you mean?
All the functions are implemented now, I will make a git repo to post the new version

Maybe its nicer and easier to have Kelvin in value like this : 2700-6500
The group All is still in process? No new updates?
Can't wait to test the new version tomorrow!!!
Will you post the git link here on first post?

Making the dzVents function work with real kelvin is not something a plugin can do, the plugin doesn't even now dzVents exists. It only respond to API commands. So making setKelvin() work with actual kelvin values is up to the dzVents developpers.
I have put the plugin in a github repo :
https://github.com/galinette2000/espmilighthub-domoticz
Version 0.0.7 is out, it fixes most dzVents commands.

Clear
Any news about the Group All option?
Go download the new version and do my tests
Did you saw my debug info ? Send them to you in PM

The white part is not working, will you test this as well? I current plugin it is working.
On other hand, when setWhite is working then this is not needed, but RGB code: 255.255.255 is a RGB color.
I have update my list on previous post, what work and what won't work
Will you add code that it will always turn on the Bulb before you do on e of the set command in dzvents?
Less code in scripts

Hi There,
Edit: 23-05-2019:
When I use setColor(r,g,b,br) then it is working PERFECT also with afterSec() !! So its a different way of handeling RGB include Brightness option.
Would be nice to see that script is turning on the bulb by itself without doing this in script (domoticz.devices(BulbDressoir1).switchOn()
Original Post:
Some combinations are not working. Also in current working code in Domoticz. The switchOn() is not needed. It turn bulb already on then actions.
Code: Select all
local Version = '19.05.02'
return {
active = true,
on = {
devices = {28},
},
execute = function(domoticz, device)
if (domoticz.devices(28).active) then
domoticz.devices(BulbDressoir1).switchOn().afterSec(4)
domoticz.devices(BulbDressoir1).setRGB(255,50,1).afterSec(4)
domoticz.devices(BulbDressoir1).dimTo(5).afterSec(4)
domoticz.devices(BulbDressoir2).switchOn().afterSec(0)
domoticz.devices(BulbDressoir2).setRGB(255,50,1).afterSec(0)
domoticz.devices(BulbDressoir2).dimTo(100).afterSec(0)
domoticz.devices(BulbDressoir3).switchOn().afterSec(2)
domoticz.devices(BulbDressoir3).setRGB(255,50,1).afterSec(2)
domoticz.devices(BulbDressoir3).dimTo(50).afterSec(2)
elseif (not domoticz.devices(28).active) then
domoticz.devices(BulbDressoir1).switchOff()
domoticz.devices(BulbDressoir2).switchOff()
domoticz.devices(BulbDressoir3).switchOff()
end
end
}
swtichOn() the bulb
setRGB() the color
dimTo() to select right brightness
This is not working, it skip the setRGB part. In current code in Domoticz this is working. I use it in global_data file
Code: Select all
BulbDressoir1 = 1
BulbDressoir2 = 2
BulbDressoir3 = 3
local COLORS = {
['White'] = {255,255,255},
['Red'] = {255,50,1},
['Blue'] = {0, 33, 255},
['Leeg'] = {0,0,0}
}
return {
helpers = {
-- setRGB(r, g, b, br, sec)
RGB = function(domoticz,idx,color,dim,sec)
if (color == nil) then rgb = COLORS['White'] else rgb = COLORS[color] end
if (dim == nil) then dim = 100 end
if (sec == nil) then sec = 0 end
domoticz.devices(idx).switchOn().afterSec(sec)
domoticz.devices(idx).setRGB(rgb[1], rgb[2], rgb[3]).afterSec(sec)
domoticz.devices(idx).dimTo(dim).afterSec(sec)
end
}
}
Then my normal dzVent script look like this:
Code: Select all
local Version = '19.05.02'
return {
active = true,
on = {
devices = {28},
},
execute = function(domoticz, device)
if (domoticz.devices(28).active) then
domoticz.helpers.RGB(domoticz,BulbDressoir1,'Red',5,4)
domoticz.helpers.RGB(domoticz,BulbDressoir2,'Red',100,nil)
domoticz.helpers.RGB(domoticz,BulbDressoir3,'Red',50,2)
elseif (not domoticz.devices(28).active) then
domoticz.devices(BulbDressoir1).switchOff()
domoticz.devices(BulbDressoir2).switchOff()
domoticz.devices(BulbDressoir3).switchOff()
end
end
}

Test a lot with the plugin and everything is working correct. When you have some issues maybe I can help you also.
For me the challenge was how to solve RGB colours (No white) and White. Because RGB cant set always white then you need the kelvin option.
Here how I did it. Remember I use global_data for some returning script lines:
in the global_data file:
Code: Select all
local COLORS = {
['White'] = {255,225,255},
['Red'] = {255,0,0},
['Green'] = {0,255,0},
['Blue'] = {0,0,255},
['Orange'] = {255,127,0},
['Yellow'] = {255,255,0},
['Purple'] = {145,0,255},
['LightGreen'] = {191,255,114},
['Romantic'] = {128,0,1}
}
RGB = function(domoticz,idx,dim,color,sec)
if (color == nil) then rgb = COLORS['Red'] else rgb = COLORS[color] end
if (dim == nil) then dim = 100 end
if (sec == nil) then sec = 0 end
domoticz.devices(idx).switchOn().checkFirst().afterSec(sec)
domoticz.devices(idx).setColor(rgb[1], rgb[2], rgb[3],dim,0,0,3,0).afterSec(sec)
status = 'aangezet'
movement = 'beweging gedecteerd'
end,
KELVIN = function(domoticz,idx,dim,kelvin,sec)
if (dim == nil) then dim = 100 end
if (kelvin == nil) then kelvin = 255 end
if (sec == nil) then sec = 0 end
domoticz.devices(idx).switchOn().checkFirst().afterSec(sec)
domoticz.devices(idx).setColor(0,0,0,dim,0,0,2,kelvin).afterSec(sec)
status = 'aangezet'
movement = 'beweging gedecteerd'
end,
In dzVent system you can use
Code: Select all
domoticz.helpers.KELVIN(domoticz,BulbLivingroomAll,nil,255,nil)
domoticz.helpers.RGB(domoticz,BulbDressoirAll,75,'Blue',nil)
or when you not use it:
RGB:
Code: Select all
domoticz.devices(idx).setColor(200, 123, 12,100,0,0,3,0)
- RGB1,RGB2,RGB3,BRIGHTNESS, 0,0,3,0
RGB1,RGB2,RGB3 is RGB color code
KELVIN:
Code: Select all
domoticz.devices(idx).setColor(0,0,0,100,0,0,2,255)
- 0,0,0,BRIGHTNESS,0,0,2,KELVINLEVEL
KELVINLEVEL is from 0-255

Hi Galinette,
Thanks for the great work you did - I cann't figure out how to add my MiLights - can you help me a bit?
I installed Mosquitto - running on latest betà of Domoticz - no errors in Log - but I cann't find the lightbulbs I have in my wireless network (standard LimmetesLed plugin works well!) Also other hardware is automaticly added - can you give me a hint?

Hi @galinette,
Thank you for your plugin!
I set it up today and everything went reasonably smooth apart from a caching issue in Mosquito causing me grief when i deleted some of the added lamp devices in Domoticz. Deleted lamps kept re-appearing, deleting them in Domoticz and the Mosquitto cache fixed that.
I have run into one issue with RGB+CCT FUT013 globes. The globes are discovered as RGBWW in Domoticz as they where when using the Milight iBox v2 and when in RGB mode the globes respond as expected.
However, when using them in white (Kelvin) mode the color temp doesn't work as expected. When a setting is made, the color temp is set and then jumps to the last mode set via the ESP Hub's webpage. Note, via the ESP Hub's webpage the Kelvin and RGB respond as expected.
Here is a Domoticz log showing the single change, then the responses from the lamp.

Hi @galinette,
Thank your for creating this awesome plugin, it works a lot better then the UDP method.
But I also have a problem with RGB=CCT bulbs, like @CV8R. When I'm setting a warm white color, the bulb flashed to warm white, and immediately after that it switches back to cold white.
Do you have any ideas on what the problem might be?
