Minimote dimmer functionality

[Guest lhusoey]

Hello,

 

Im trying to control a dimmable light with my minimote remote.

I have made a virtual device called minimote so that i can program each of the eight buttons the minimote holds.

 

I have managed to swith on the light using this LUA code for button 1 : fibaro:call(40, "setValue", "70");

Also for switching off i use the LUA code for button 3 : fibaro:call(40, "setValue", "0");

 

Now what i want to do is as follow.

 

Increase lightstrenght by using button 2. ex stepwise increase by 5% each second or so the button 2 is pressed.

Decrease lightstrenght by using button 3. ex stepwise decrease by 5% each second or so the button 3 is pressed.

 

Can anybody help me with the LUA codes needed for this to function?

 

Best regards

Lidvar

I don't think you can do that (using sceneActivation)... It's been asked here before. It's because, if I remember well, you can't detect when the button is released. I settled for a workaround: each button press increases the level with +/- 20 % so yo get 5 steps from 0 to 100% and back to zero. You can also implement "off" as long press. WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) = OK.

This is the code in the "button press" part of your logic:

Hi all,

 

Very interesting this post!

 

I use a minimote with a virtual device. The VD pilots a Hue lamp. In this VD, I have different buttons which change the Hue color:

Button 1: red color;  Button 2: orange color ...

I'd like to associate one button of the minimote, with 6 different colors.

 

If button 1 is pressed then red color

if button 1 is once more pressed then color orange ...

 

What i have now:

VDid: Virtual device id

VD button "1" gives red color

 

... how could i code to get the same minimote button with 6 differents colors ?

 

Thanks  for your help !
