HC3 - Help with simple QA sending UDP commands

[Firepeet 6]

I've been already searching and trying for hours to control a lamp by sending UDP commands.

If I send the commands with Packet Sender to 192.168.1.80, port 5982, it works fine.

 

For lamp on: 80 00 00 00 11 9D 01 00 00 00 31 00 00 08 04 01 00 00 00 01 00 3F

For lamp off: 80 00 00 00 11 9D 01 00 00 00 31 00 00 08 04 02 00 00 00 01 00 40

 

I'd really appreciate it if someone can help me on my way to make a simple QA for this.

@jakub.jezek thanks for your answer.

I tried the following code and this turns the lamp on?

Now i have to find out how to turn the lamp off in the same QA

@Firepeet , you do not use Broadcast. Variable broadcast need to be set to false.

This would be the structure of the QA (of type com.fibaro.binarySwitch). You would need to work on checking the return value (recieveData) to see if the action worked.

And then if there is a command to read the current status of the lamp so you can sync the state when the QA starts up (or someone operate the lamp by some other mean than the QA?)

Thanks all for your help guys.

 

The quick app will be crashed with the error message: Unknown error occurred: void sendTo(UDPSocket&,std::string const&,std::string const&,int)

Something that I have to change in the code?

I modified the code in the earlier post too.

Yess, it's working???

Next step is to add a slider to dim the lamp.

I can adjust the brightness of the lamp with the string:

0x80, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x11, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x31, 0x00, 0x00, 0x08, 0x03, hexvalue, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00

 

Hexvalue 0x00 = 0%, and  0x64 = 100% brightness

 

I try to use the following code for sending the slider value to the lamp, but doesn't work.

In de debug i see the value 0-100 from the slider, and the hex value 0x00 - 0x64 after conversion.

Do someone know what's going wrong?

Well, send takes a string.

Try this

Actually, the code I posted assumed that the QA was a binary switch.

If it's a multilevelSwitch the turnOff and turnOn should update the 

'value' property to 0 and 100 respectively when you turnOff and turnOn.

Do you have a command for reading the brightness value?

[jgab 1,956]

What kind of device is it? Make and type?

[Firepeet 6]

Thanks again, this is working for me. 

I'm not yet have the command for reading the brightness level.
