[AutoFrank 372]

Hi 

Has anybody worked with these devices 

Please login or register to see this link.

 

They seem interesting... Zigbee or Wi-Fi and also have an api and there also seems to be some git wrappers 

JavaScript Nanoleaf Aurora API for node.js

Had anybody purchased and worked with the panels or the app 

 

Thanks

Hi @AutoFrank,

 

sort of, hhh

I can read and reasonably understand lua, when iu see some code, but i'm not yet able to produce fluently some code. I almost everytime use some snippets and routines adopted from other codes, instructions and manuals. Also uncle Google is my friend (sometimes)...

 

I'm reading out from Aurora the list of stored current effect like this:

And it works like a charm. Then i'm reading out the list of stored effects:

I get the list of effects, but i'm not able to find the index (position) of the current effect in the retrieved list in the for next loop. There i'm stucked at the moment

Trying to develop a VD where it is possible to cycle troy the stored effects sequentialy and otherwise.....

Hi @Bodyart

 

I replicated it as best I could and it seems to be working...

Try printing out the value of eff just before you do the match check

@AutoFrank,

 

if i understand it right, the you've simulated a scene, not a VD. This code is not working in my VD sofar...

@Bodyart, true but I dont think there is anything there (apart from the http requests that appear to be working) that would be different between a scene or a vd... Let me drop the code into a vd and come back..

 

Update....

vd attached and the code seems to be working as I thought it might

Apparently eff is not a string???

@Bodyart, yes it should by the looks of it.. not sure what else to suggest ...

No worries @Bodyart

I'm sure you're close 

 

Perhaps one of the lis experts might have some suggestions tomorrow...

Hey @AutoFrank,

 

got it working now with some help from french forum:

It's kind a complicated solution at the moment, but this gives me the desired result

I'll try to simplify and clean the code now.

I've deleted all the functions in order to simplify and replaced the line:

I have a backlog of messages/questions/issues.

 

I am confused, user @szmyk posted "local myArray = json.decode(response)" to get all programs in a table. You seem to have followed that advise.

 

I did not spend more than 5 minutes on your previous post, because I got lost (actually, "derailed", because my head does not like deciphering "regular expressions") in things like:

I'd like to get back on track and it would really help if you could attach a file with the contents of variable "resp" right after this call.

Hi @petergebruers,

 

after issueing the code:

I get the following output:

Is this what you wanted to see?

 

[petergebruers 1,261]

That is all? And you want to print all possible effect names and the index in that table. And you also want to find out the index of a program, for instance, "forest" -> 2?

 

I must be missing the point completely, so many string manipulation calls.

 

You do realise that some APIs do not always return data in the same order? So you might need a sort to get consistent results?

 

Tell me in all honesty if I am not following here, I do not want to take precious time from you... It is probably my headache :-; In that case, I'll be back later...

[Bodyart 229]

@petergebruers,

 

that's exactly what i want.

 

get the index of 'forest' -> 2 and then cycle throu the programs with buttons 'previous' and 'next'

I'm sharing the headache due to sudden weather change today... Yesterday we had 28 degrees, today 19 it is and it's constantly raining....

Yes i do and my findings about this API are, that it returns the effectlist always in the same order.... fortunately.

Just a very simple Nanoleaf VD, that cycles trough the stored effects. It can adjust the brightness for some effects, depending on effect definition.

This device is using a global variable "NanoApi"  containing "/api/v1/kzcaSSBAaDwVZMkxsUKF3VlOJcd5yPri", where  "kzcaSSBAaDwVZMkxsUKF3VlOJcd5yPri" is your API Token.

@Bodyart thank you for the heads up, I will order some

 

Also, thank you all for getting the VD development forward.

Hi @PreHack,

did you try my cycling VD?

One advantage of my VD is, that you can create, or download any affect and your VD will know about it instead of hardcoding the effect under the buttons

I'll develop it further as soon i'll receive the rhythm extention.

 Hi @Bodyart

I like it I did integrate the Hue / Saturation / Color Temp. Slider and now I replace my old VD.
In my case, I did keep the authorization token in the VD because I think with more than one Aurora the global variable setup won't be easier.
