As I'm on a phone call there is no data connection, in other words Pilot cannot set the Phone@Home status in Domoticz. This is a pity as I'm having some scripts running to disable lights etc when I'm leaving home (while making a phone call), these lights are now on for longer then necessary.

It would be grate if Pilot tries it a couple of times (configurable) to update the status in Domiticz after it failed to update. This will make the user scenarios more robust.

Secondly it would be great if a certain intervals (configurable) Pilot checks if the status according to Pilot is the same as in Domoticz. I assume that Pilot checks the location regularly to verify if it is already within the at home range. When the check is done it would be good to verify if that location status is also set (the same) in Domoticz.

Both items are closely linked to each other and maybe can be the same solution/implementation. My view would be that this would make the total system more robust and my lights would not stay on the for the rest of the day until I'm at home again.

Thanks.

OK I understand! Since you're on the phone, you have no DATA coverage, so your phone can't send the signal to your Domoticz server.
Might be able to implement some sort of "retry" when the sending fails. Good idea

Will try to get it done for 1.5 release

One question and one comment:

Question: how does the dimming work? I can slide to the right but it is unclear how to set the dimming value.

Comments, see screenshot, it is unclear which lamp is switch on and which one is switch off. In the picture there is one lamp off and two on. Can you queues which one? I think some GUI improvements is still required.

Please let me know if you run into any issues

rgroothuis wrote:Hi patoo77,

Thanks for fixing the issue, I've upgraded and still see a challenge to control my dimmers (Philips Hue). When I want to slide the dimmer bar to the right then the whole block moves to the left and the green box appears on the left. So I cannot slide the dimmer bar. Or am I doing something wrong?

Bikey wrote: Ok I think the idea is that the dimming level depends on how far you slide the whole block to the right, even without first tapping the control to open it (showing the slider). If you watch the green bar you can see it being "filled" depending how far you move it, indicating someway the dimming level (suggestion: show a percentage in the green block).
That is a nice innovative way for a controling a dimmer! Unfortunately it only works half of the time and it is impossible to get the lamp up to 100%....

Also the slider is totally useless and confusing if this concept actually works, so could be removed imho.

Currently the slider does work, but only if you touch it very precisely or you will move the complete block.

TBH I don't have any dimming device, so it's always been hard to test it :/

It might be possible to use a virtual device
