APPLamp control tool (for V3)

Found a really nice SW tool on this WebPage:
http://iqjar.com/jar/home-automation-us ... ver-wi-fi/
It allows to control APPLamp (WiFi Lamp) with only one command and simple parameters.
Here's the download link:
http://iqjar.com/download/jar/milight/m ... naries.zip
Just make a download, unzip it and place it e.g. /home/pi/domoticz/scripts
Make it executable and change the IP adress in the config file to that of your wifi-bridge.
Than from CLI (Putty) start it with ./milight and you'll see all possible parameters.
It's very fast in a bash script.
It inspired me for that simple script calling a very slow brightness and coloure change instead of the build in DISCO-mode which is a little bit too fast for me.
By the way, check the other web-pages of this guy; made very well!

Hardy
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
# prepare show for dimming white
./milight 1 B 1 # dimm to minimum
./milight 1 ON # switch ON
./milight 1 w # switch to white
./milight 1 B 1 # dimm to minimum
for i in {0..19} # change brightness from 0 to 8
do
./milight 1 B $i
for x in $(seq 200); do # do it slow
echo $i $x # show value and slow down
done
done
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# show smooth coloure change
./milight 1 B 1 # dimm to minimum
./milight 1 C 0 # change coloure to 0 value (dark blue)
./milight 1 B 19 # set brightness to maximum
for i in {0..255} # do a loop for all values
do
./milight 1 C $i # change coloure through all values
for x in $(seq 300); do # do it slowly
echo $i $x # show value and slow down
done
done
./milight 1 B 1 # change to brightness minimum
./milight 1 OFF # switch OFF

Nice. Maybe I now can implement my 'rising sun' alarm clock...

I'm working on a weather "forecast lamp" with rough indication of temperature, rain and wind in the next 6 hours...
A little bit crazy I know...

Wow, just what I was looking for.
While the support for this is still in development this is awesome ...
thanks a bundle!

I am using this to control the inside- and outside lighting based on the sunset time. Backgarden light turns off earlier than the frontporge light. Internal lighting is based on sunset, added with a random time within half an hour. Works great.

Hmm. The binary file is for Raspberry? It doesn't run in my Mint server.

And yes. I have to compile it from source. Now it works.

I need to code something like this to get it run:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19
do
./milight b $i
sleep 2
done
That {1..19} don't work in my bash. Also it's not ok to use ./milight b 0 - values start from 1.

I would try it using tcl:
for {set X 1} {$X < 20} {incr X} {
exec ./milight B $X
after 2000
}
I used a similar script for a 'scanner' app to determine the code for the new selflearning 'klik-aan-klik-uit' devices, but the device did not recognize the codes.

Don't know if it helps. Sometimes there is really a difference in behaviour of using #!/bin/sh oder #!/bin/bash .
Did you make your "milight" executable?
Setting brightness from 0 works for me for "white" but values between 8 and 19 do not show any change.
I'm using the 9W RGBW bulbs.
Hope you will get it running.

EDIT: There is aslo a change between 8 and 19... was to late yesterday evening

Yes I get it going.
I just realize that if I make an silent alarm with name in my Samsung phone alarm clock it gives notify.
Tasker can see this notify and run task. So now I can have easily adjustable timer based triggers for my Domoticz.
Domoticz can then run the script to control AppLamp.

Okey, maybe someone can summarize what is working and not working by using the standard applamp hardware in domoticz?
I am able to control my RGBW leds perfectly

Same here, but the command line tool is very nice for scripting
I made a wake up light with it for instance.
Anyway, what I think is annoying is that when you click the button for a zone it doesn't do the default colour setting behind it, like it does with scenes. But I can imagine other peepz would like the current setting (last used setting).
And earlier I thought it was buggy / still under development because I had made a mistake in the configuration, so I was wrong.
Scenes work perfectly by the way
Very nice work!

Sorry to dig out this old post, but I have a (noob) question.
I made a script (based on TS's code) wich goes thru all the colors very slow. The script takes 30mins or so.
Now I would like to know how to stop this script before it ends and go to white, maximum brightness.
I use a COCO switch to trigger the script.
Thx

Put your milight executable in a place your script can find
I think I put mine in /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin (don't remember)
Your script calls './milight' (needs to be in the current dir) but I don't think that's the right dir if you try to run the script from where you try it.

Then, your next problem will be where the milight executable expects the milight.conf ...
