RGBW brightness setting at startup


harrytasker

Question

I made a scene with my Fibaro Motion Sensor & my Fibaro RGBW controller.

It's a simple scene. When the Sensor sees any motion it will turn on the RGBW controllers LED strip for 10 minutes. If it keeps seeing motion within those 10 minutes it will stay on (people probably in room), if there is no motion it will turn off after 10 min.

All works fine for one thing. I would like to have the RGBW controller turn on the lights at 20%, but every time it detects motions the lights go on at 100%!

So i tried to fill in the value of 20 at the red square (see image). What happens is that the lights don't turn on anymore. It only works when I leave the value in that square blank.

The question is: Is it possible to have the RGBW controller turn on at different light levels say 20% or 50% on startup and how i can achieve that.

I have a HCL by the way. Thanks.

HCL is only using 3.x firmware? if so then you may have to wait for now unless your willing to use LUA code to control brightness. It will not work how you want it to using blocks.

    Thanks for your quick reply!

    Can't use LUA code on HCL so I guess i will have to wait for firmware version 4.x?

    Do you get extended block controls in firmware 4.x? Can't find much info on that.

    You CAN indeed do this on the HCL (I do).

    You have to create a virtual device to control your RGBW module, and access the virtual device from your scene. I have previously described the procedure here:
