Domoticz & OSRAM Lightify

[thorbj]

Thanks, I managed to install the script and alter the bulb using the commands in Shell. But when I add the commands on the switch, and press the switch, nothing happens.

I have the following code:

Code: Select all

script:///usr/local/bin/ol --hub 10.10.10.111 --on="A60RGBW 01"

script:///usr/local/bin/ol --hub 10.10.10.111 --off="A60RGBW 01"

It's exactly like your, except from the IP and bulb name.
This code (ol - -hub... etc.) works in Shell, but not when issued from a switch in Domoticz.

What am I missing?

Thanks!

did you try "/usr/local/bin/ol --hub 10.10.10.111 --on="A60RGBW 01"" in the shell?
Maybe ol is not in /usr/local/bin?
Try "whereis ol" from the shell

[thorbj]

/usr/local/bin/ol --hub 10.10.10.111 --on="A60RGBW 01" don't work from Shell, only ol --hub 10.10.10.111 --on="A60RGBW 01". When I try whereis ol, i get

Code: Select all

ol:

That's all.

[fergalom]

what directory are you in running ol --hub 10.10.10.111 --on="A60RGBW 01" ?
you might need to change the path to where ol is.
Sounds like its probably:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi ~/Device-Osram-Lightify/bin $ ls
ol

[thorbj]

I found ol here:

Code: Select all

~/.cpan/build/Devices_Osram_Lightify-0.6-iXykqV/bin/ol

But running

Code: Select all

~/.cpan/build/Devices_Osram_Lightify-0.6-iXykqV/bin/ol --hub 10.10.10.111 --off="A60RGBW 01"    

from Shell don't work. No such file or directory.

[thorbj]

I removed the cpan module and cloned via Git. But I can't make install.

Code: Select all

 pi@DomoCore ~ $ cd Device-Osram-Lightify/
pi@DomoCore ~/Device-Osram-Lightify $ ls
bin        examples  LICENSE      MANIFEST   t
ChangeLog  lib       Makefile.PL  README.md
pi@DomoCore ~/Device-Osram-Lightify $ make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
pi@DomoCore ~/Device-Osram-Lightify $  

[fergalom]

ah ok, you've jogged my memory

Code: Select all

perl Makefile.PL
make
sudo make install

Also I modified ol in bin/ol to include brightness:

Code: Select all

Thanks, now I successfully installed it via Git.
But I still can't execute the commands from the switch.

I can now run

Code: Select all

 ~/Device-Osram-Lightify/bin/ol --hub 10.10.10.111  --off="A60RGBW 01" 

from Shell to turn off the bulb, but when I press the switch, nothing happens.

This is the log:

Code: Select all

2016-11-01 18:23:11.659 User: Admin initiated a switch command (161/Lightify1/Off)
2016-11-01 18:23:11.660 (Dummy switch) Lighting 1 (Lightify1) 

All my other dummy switches works great, but they are triggered by lua scripts. This is the only switch I have that triggers commands like this.

Are you using the full path for the switch on/off

Script:///home/pi/Device-Osram-Lightify/bin/ol --hub 10.10.10.111 --off="A60RGBW 01"

No
But I tried this now, and it seems thet Domoticz finally tries to run the commands. Yay!

But it returns an error in the log:

Code: Select all

2016-11-01 23:11:17.363 User: Admin initiated a switch command (161/Lightify1/Off)

Do you know what this means?

[thorbj]

I've also tried calling perl scripts from the switch, instead of the command itself. This also gives me a 512 error in the log.
I have run chmod +x on the scripts.

bulb_on.pl:

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Device::Osram::Lightify::Hub;

my $x = Device::Osram::Lightify::Hub->new( host => "10.10.10.111" );

foreach my $light ( $x->lights() ) {
    if ( $light->name() eq "A60RGBW 01" ) {
        $light->set_on();
        exit(0);
    }
}

bulb_off.pl:

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Device::Osram::Lightify::Hub;

my $x = Device::Osram::Lightify::Hub->new( host => "10.10.10.111" );

foreach my $light ( $x->lights() ) {
    if ( $light->name() eq "A60RGBW 01" ) {
        $light->set_off();
        exit(0);
    }
}

The command on the switch looks like this:

Code: Select all

script:///home/pi/domoticz/scripts/perl/bulb_on.pl > /dev/null 2>&1 &
script:///home/pi/domoticz/scripts/perl/bulb_off.pl > /dev/null 2<&1 &

This results in the following error:

Code: Select all

Error: Error executing script command (/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/perl/bulb_off.pl). returned: 512

I can't figure out what's wrong here. Am I missing some perl configuration in Domoticz?

[fergalom]

ok so out of interest, I tried your scripts and switch actions above, they work perfectly as expected, no 512
For what its worth, Domoticz v3.5859 and perl v5.14.2

[misscat]

there is another project with an open source libary on github, working offline (direct contact to the gateway)
It's in C but comes also with an small command line utility

I don't know what's going on with my scripts, but I ended up buying a Hue and adding osram bulb to this one, that works great.

[Wob76]

Hi,

Just wondering if there is a big advantage to using the hue hub with the Lightify bulbs?

I have been playing around in nodered with the Lightify hub, and I have managed to decode the bulbs and feed them into Domoticz, but it has been very manual, I actually wrote a function to decode the binary protocol, I could continue, I am sure implementing command should be doable, but I am now wondering if it is worth my time.

I did find some node controls, but converting them to nodered could be some work (https://github.com/rainlake/node-lightify).

[thorbj]

If you own a hub, or wan't to get a hub anyway, then it's easier to access lightify bulbs in domoticz. But If you can't afford a hub, it would be awesome if there was an easy script/library.
