RGBW - Lua call

[fhermes 0]

Hi,

i try to use the RGBW Module in a Lua Script but i cannot set the Color. i have try it now often but it should not work. Here are my code:

fibaro:call(16, "setColor", "1", "1", "1", "1");

fibaro:sleep(1*1000);

test2 = fibaro:getValue(16, "color")

fibaro:debug(test2);

fibaro:sleep(1*1000);

fibaro:call(16, "turnOff")

if i send this code, the color jumps to 1,1,1,1 --- thats ok

if i send

fibaro:call(16, "setColor", "50", "1", "1", "1");

i get the Color 255,5,5,5 instead of expected 50,1,1,1

whats wrong there? same if i use setW, setR, setG, setB Everthing above 2 let the level of the color jump to 255.

set brightness lv first later set color because from 0 it's first set color and later turn on on max brightness so it change you color

i did not catch it.

i like to set a color with a specific birgthness.

fibaro:call(16, "setValue", "35");

fibaro:sleep(300);

fibaro:call(16, "setColor", "80", "40", "20", "0");

with that, my rgb brithness jumps to 100%

or

only the white LED have to glow with 10 percent of brightness.

fibaro:call(16, "setW", "25");

The only what happens is that the white string jumps to 100%

could you please give me an example code how to set on the rgb_driver the right color with the brigthness that lower as 100% ?

I get the same problem if i controll the driver with the webinterface. i can set a value and at first, the value jumps to 100% after that, i can move it to 20%. But if i like to move it now to 30% it jumps again to 100%

I am sure there is a better way, but I managed to get around the problem you are having by inserting a sleep:

hi amilanov and Fibaro Team

your solution seems for me like a workaround, i have test it... sometimes it works pretty well, but only sometimes in my cases.

I have test a little bit more.

My device in the Fibaro System should have the id16. If i send now a set value to id 17, it also glowing. Then i have try a little bit more. Set Value on id18 was only red, 19 are green and 20... you know it... Blue. I can set all colors from 0-100. 255 should not work. At this way, the devices will be glowing like i want. if i set id 10 to value 10, its only glowing low and dosent jump to 100 %. Are there any more information from Fibaro Team of the real configuration from the Fibaro RGBW device? the shown device looks for me like a virtual device.

Agree. It is just a workaround, but it does work every time for me. Did you reduce the wait time to less than 1 second?

I'd also like to know how to do it properly. Fibaro?

I believe the solution is to change the value for each of R, G and B by the percentage dim level you want it to be....

For example, this sets the colour to white at 100% dim

To set it to white at 10% dim level, just multiple each value in R, G and B by 10%

The only thing to consider is that you cannot enter a decimal place, so this would not work:

To sort this out you should use a round function like this along with variables to store the value of R, G and B
