Slowly increasing light over set time. Please help me fix the code....

[ErikP 4]

I want to have a kind of wakeup light that gradually increases intensity over a set amount of minutes. I tried this code:

 

--[[
  Slowly increase light brightness over time
  Adapted from code by Fibaro Forum user: iRobot
--]]

-- User-defined variables
local lightID = 1  -- ID of the light device to control
local duration = 10  -- Duration of the fade-in in seconds

-- Get current light level
local currentLevel = fibaro:getValue(lightID, "value")

-- Set initial brightness level to 0
fibaro:call(lightID, "setProperty", "ui.brightnessLevel.value", 0)

-- Calculate the brightness increment based on the duration
local brightnessIncrement = 100 / (duration * 10)

-- Loop through and gradually increase brightness level
for i=0,100,brightnessIncrement do
  fibaro:sleep(100)
  fibaro:call(lightID, "setValue", i)
end

-- Set the final brightness level
fibaro:call(lightID, "setValue", currentLevel)
 

But is does not seem to work. I get the following error:
"(load):11: Assertion failed: Expected number"

 

Can someone help me make this code work?

 

Thanks!

Is this in a HC2 right?

I am not familiar with HC2 but i think this line is making the trouble

 

fibaro:call(lightID, "setProperty", "ui.brightnessLevel.value", 0)

 

in HC3 i would do fibaro:call(lightID, "setValue",  0)

 

And on the other hand, if this is a fibaro rgbw modul or dimmer modul i would just set up the transition time in parameters. You dont need to hardcode it.

Thanks. Indeed it seems like HC2 but I want to get it working on HC3. As for the parameters, indeed that is an option but then this light will always behave like that and I only want it in certain occasions, so if I run the scene...

On HC3 use the code that i wrote you..Your code is incorrect i think.

 fibaro:call(lightID, "setValue",  0)

Thanks!,

 

this line is also an issue:

-- Get current light level
local currentLevel = fibaro:getValue(lightID, "value")

 

Is that not HC3 compatible?

It should be fibaro.getValue(lightID, "value"),
