Domoticz

Hi,

My Philips Hue bridge has been added to Domoticz which runs on a Raspberry Pi. I can see the Groups, the lights and the scenes.

When I switch on a scene it works as expected, but when I switch off a scene nothing happens. When I switch a group on and off it works as expected.

How can I solve this?


Regards Jaap

in the original Hue app a scene can be activated. Switching off is done by either activating another scene or by turning off all lights.
I would expect that this same approach must be done in Domoticz

Jaap,

I've implemented groups for on/off grouped hue bulbs. And implemented a selector switch to 'walk' through the available on/off switches from the hue bridge. The levels are with the toggle command and off for the specific group.

This is the best working way possible.

Thanks. I will try that.

Can you explain hoe you've done this?

To get you started, and not having all detail at hand...

In a few words....
-Add Hue bridge
-make scene through native app
results in new devices (need to have setting allow new hardware/devices enabled)
-Create Dummy type hardware
-add new switch type selector
-tab switches/edit selector switch
-fill url lines with http://domoticzip/json.htm.... see the json-api wiki!

Etcetera....

thanks. Will try this out tomorrow
