copy state of Hue Lamp, and set another to that exact state.

[ppeterr 205]

Hi, It's been a while since I made a topic here on the forum. Everything works smoothly as it should.
That's why I haven't touched my HC3 or made scenes for it for quite a while, and so not sure how to do the next thing.

 

All my lights are Phillips Hue, i only have one quickapp turning some lamps off with a motion sensor.
The rest is all controlled by a i-casa wall controller. This controller works with touch link. So "outside" of the homecenter.
This works perfect for me, since i can set the status of all lamps, and long press a wall button and it will remember the state of them all.

 

I have ordered a LED strip with zigbee controller. This one comes in today. But i just found out that touchlink won't work with this thing at all.

So I can't control this LED strip with the i-casa touchlink in-wall controller.
I can send it back and buy a Hue strip three times the price.

 

Or I can ask for your help

 

This LED strip will register as a Hue integration in the HC3 via the Hue hub. Just like the rest of the lamps. (or at least i hope so)

 

What I want to achieve:

 

When "kitchen lamp" turns on, the LED strip copies the status. So on or off AND the color state.

Below is the status output of the lamp i would like the led strip status to follow. (when turning on)

Does the colors variable has a value?

I am rebooting, and then i will try again. But what do you mean with fibaro.debug

I dont see anything show up in the console. But it crashed again

 

fibaro.debug("Scene101", "")

local colors = fibaro.getValue(416,"color")

fibaro.call(418, "setColor", colors[1],colors[2],colors[3],colors[4])

This will do to get the color codes from the api:

 

local colors = api.get("/devices/416")

fibaro.debug("colors: " , colors.properties.color)

Thanks Ed, i will look into it tommorow!

This works, and outputs: [29.07.2022] [07:00:05] [DEBUG] [COLORS: ]: 1,255,25,0

 

local colors = api.get("/devices/416")

fibaro.debug("colors: " , colors.properties.color)

 

 

When i add the setColor line, the HC3 (only the lamp) becomes inresponsive.

 

local colors = api.get("/devices/416")

fibaro.debug("colors: " , colors.properties.color)

fibaro.call(418, "setColor", colors[1],colors[2],colors[3],colors[4])

 

 

When i do this, alone - the color changes correctly, and the lamp stays working

 

fibaro.call(418, "setColor", 1,255,25,0)

I think this can work

Good morning, it gives the same effect. It gets the rgb value's correct.

And then freezes the lamp in the HC3.

No nothing, i dont see that entry for 418 in the dropdown menu.

418 is a quickapp, not the hue light?

It might be a bit confusing. But the above made me think.

I added the light into the Huemain quickapp. It created a new device.

Now it gives some errors. (see the last line)

[ppeterr 205]

Lets see if i understand the problem. (i have 2 options)

 

option 1

 

I have the Hue integration from fibaro.

That gives a child device (lightstrip with ID 418)

And another lamp where i want to use the color value's from (ID 416)

 

The following code reads out the rgb from ID416, and should set 418 to that.

But it makes 418 unresponsive

 

local colors = api.get("/devices/416")

fibaro.debug("colors: " , colors.properties.color)

fibaro.call(418, "setColor", colors)

 

option 2

 

I added the lightstrip in the Huemain quickapp

That gives a child device with ID  421 controlled with the quickapp.

The same code, only then i call 421 gives an error.

 

local colors = api.get("/devices/416")

fibaro.debug("colors: " , colors.properties.color)

fibaro.call(421, "setColor", colors)

 

[29.07.2022] [09:48:22] [ERROR] [QA_HUE_MAIN_139]: [ERROR] Error in fibaro.setTimeout: ./include/HueTools.lua:25: attempt to perform arithmetic on a nil value (local 'a4')

 

I think i need @petrkl12 for that

 

 

 

[ppeterr 205]

Well i found out that for the Huemain quickapp i need:

 

fibaro.call(139, "HueCommands", json.encode{type='Hue', action='colorRGB', deviceID=421, colorR=10, colorG=200, colorB=100, value=100})

 

That should set the color. And this actually works.

 

So, next up. Make a variable that reads out: local colors = api.get("/devices/416")

And sets the digits for colorR colorG and colorB

The variable colors now contains all device properties. I changed that a bit. 
 

I am not into encode and decode that much. Mostly I do some trail and error. Maybe someone else can help you with that. You are almost there, maybe this will help. 
 

local deviceproperties = api.get("/devices/416")

local colors = {}

colors = deviceproperties.properties.color

 

fibaro.debug("colors: " , colors.properties.color)

fibaro.call(139, "HueCommands", json.encode{type='Hue', action='colorRGB', deviceID=421, colorR=colors[1], colorG=colors[2], colorB=colors[3]})

[ppeterr 205]

I stripped it a bit down, since it gives an error.

 

local deviceproperties = api.get("/devices/416")

colors = deviceproperties.properties.color

fibaro.debug("colors: " , colors.properties.color)

Loose the debug line or change it from

 

fibaro.debug("colors: " , colors.properties.color)

 

to

 

fibaro.debug("colors: " , colors)

 

 

[ppeterr 205]

That results in an error for the Huemain qa.
