Domoticz

This seems like a simple question, with an obvious answer: yes.

But in this case I have a few zigbee devices (Ikea lamps), that show up as "color switch, ww, dimmer" in Domoticz.
I can switch them on/off, and the color selection works OK as well. But the dim level does not work properly: the "outside" slider works OK, but when I open the widget, the vertical slider next to the color selector does not.
Also, controlling the lamps by timed events or in a scene does not work: on/off and color is ok, dim level is not possible.

So, to circumvent this problem, I though about controlling timed events from a LUA script.
Hence the question: can I control color and dim level from a LUA script?

Meanwhile, I am communicating with the plugin author to see if the problem can be solved at the root. But it would be nice to have an alternative for the time being.

In dzVents it is possible. I think for some action in dzVents this is done internally by going to API commands executing the device change because Lua is not supporting it.

Ah, I see. Problem is I have no knowledge of dzVents, and it seems like a steep learningcurve just to circumvent a problem. I'm still hoping for a more permanent solution in the plugin.
Meanwhile, as you say LUA does not support everything. How about using json? Would that work?

dzVents is not that hard to learn and you can do a lot more with this
When you go to the even editor and add a new event (dzVents) there are some examples

But I would suggest to do all timers in Domoticz

Thanks.
About an hour ago I discovered some more info in the problem in Zigbee-for-Domoticz.
I have two Ikea lamps with individual widgets in Domoticz. When I set timers on them, the brightness is not set correctly (color is OK).
But when I put the two lamps into a Zigbee group and set timers on the group widget, everything works OK, including the brightness level.
I hope this provides the plugin author the info he needs to find the root cause..

Please keep this topic on topic as zigbee plugin has nothing to do with Lua.

Here is a video and here are some examples.

Hmmm... I understand your statement, but in this case donot agree. My original question here was: can I control these devices from LUA. So I think it is very much on topic.
The text that I added was meant to provide some background info, about "why" I would want to control the lamps from LUA.
ANd on a more general note, I think it would be nice if it were possible. I can already switch lights on and off, so why not these lamps?

I think the method with Lua would be to use a domoticz api JSON with Lua OpenUrl command array.

With this call (change the ip) you can see all attributes of al switches

With that it should be possible to find the correct way to set the dim level.
