Issue reading dimmer level

Hi,

I have problems reading the dimmer level using dzVents. It seems that domoticz is working as intended, but not dzVents. It works sometimes, but after some changes, either from the domoticz control panel or directly in the Philips Hue app, the level becomes incorrect when reading it in dzVents.

I have changed the level to 40% but dzVents reports 20%.

Code: Select all

Pct_Level = domoticz.devices('Hall Taklampa').level
        domoticz.log('PCT_LEVEL = ' .. tostring(Pct_Level), domoticz.LOG_INFO)

Code: Select all

2018-01-23 21:24:00.443 dzVents: Info: PCT_LEVEL = 20
The JSON output shows correct value

Code: Select all

Can you try this with the latest beta (using dzVents 2.4.1)?

It seems to work now.

Thank you very much, much appreciated, not only this fix but of course the creation of dzVents which makes life easier (even though I had a learning threshold to overcome in the beginning) !
