Ikea lamp does work work correctly

[manjh]

I never took much attention to the slider inside the Color widget, may be there is a different beaviour on the way Domoticz is sending the information to the plugin , may be it has changed .

I'll setup a test environment and check that

Didn't you set any parameter to get a smooth move of the level control ?

You can eventually enable debugCommand ( in the debug parameters) this will increase the level of debug when doing commands from Domoticz, and you might check if they are different

Are these parameters documented?

I looked into the parameters, set the first to 255, all others to 1. Did not make a difference.
Then modified the debug settings, set the : "widget" on.
Now when I modify the level and color of the lamp, I see this on the Domoticz console:

Code: Select all

2023-01-16 15:10:46.464 Status: setcolbrightnessvalue: ID: 1249, bri: 50, color: '{m: 2, RGB: 000000, CWWW: 06f9, CT: 249}'

Looks good, I can see brightness level and color temp.
When I set that same light to switch based on timed event, I see this:

Code: Select all

2023-01-16 15:12:01.272 Status: Schedule item started! Name: lampje openhaard 1, Type: On Time, DevID: 4681, Time: 2023-01-16 15:12:01
2023-01-16 15:12:06.526 ZigbeeConbee: UpdateDevice - (lampje openhaard 1) 1:13

No specific setting for brightness and color temp. Does this make any sense?

Hmmm... more info. I feel we're getting closer to the root.
I have two Ikea lamps in a lamp fixture with 2 sockets. Each of the lamps are in Domoticz as individual device. When I control them using timed events on the widget, they donot behave correctly: on/off and color work fine, brightness does not.

But now I have both lamps in a group, so I can control them in synch. When I define a timer on the group widget, everything works OK!!!

So it looks like the individual lamp widget is at fault, the group widget works OK.

Does this help?

[manjh]

I ran some more tests, and observed a full cycle on timed events.

I can now confirm this is working: as long as a lamp is in a group, even as a single lamp in that group, all timers and scene actions work properly on that group.
Timers and scene actions on the individual lamp widget work partly: color and on/off are working OK, brightness level does not.
So for now, things work. I would suggest either to fix the problem, or to document it as a peculiarity. I'm available for testing fixes.

What is the current status?
Everything works OK for me thanks to that work-around using a lamp as group, but obviously for the long run it would be more elegant if it works on its own...
