Room Controller QuickApp


Question

Posted

I am thinking off makeing a "Room Controller QuickApp" for easy setup or change of motion sensor, lux sensor and diffrent "scenes/light levels" Depending on profiles. 
So if you got a new installation it is just to upload the QuickApp, set quickapp variabels for motion sensor, lux sensor and room id if you want.
I also gets the status of the pir and lux sensor. And can set the normal delay  (5sec - to 20min adjustable with 2 buttons).

for now the quickapp when it starts it load, all the light (color, multilevel and relays) in the room the controller stands inn, but also possible to set a Quickapp variabel to set the room id it should get the lights from. 

I am thinking of makeing it possible to setup 6 custom scenes, 2 for standard on/off and 1 custom lux adaptive scene and 2 scenes for fade on/off with timers. (slow fade from last level to off/on over 60sec for exampel) 
to adjust the scene just set the lights in the room like you want it, then open the Quickapp and hit "Save scene1".
This scenes can then be choosen to be triggered when:

  • Pir on 
  • Pir on with delay (5sec - to 20min adjustable with 2 buttons)
  • pir off 
  • pir off with delay (5sec - to 20min adjustable with 2 buttons)
  • profile change 
  • profile cahnge with delay

 

And first I am making it to support 4 Profiles. ( you can then set all the events above for each profile)

 

 

But I havent figured out the best way to make it adaptive to the Lux level 🤔
I am thinking of making a check every 30min for the lux level and set 10 points that can be manuali changed to represent when the light should be 10%-20%-30%-->100% based on the lux level. 


any1 got a suggestion on how to do it? 😄


and am I missing some functionality that should been in a Quickapp for light control? 🤔

And the reason everything is placed to the left, is because my thumb is to big to scroll down  without tutching button otherwise 😅😆

Hi @Brors94 ,

 

This very much sounds like my ALC (Advanced Lighting Control) that I made for HC2. I have ALC Configuration VD that finds all available lights and also finds all installed ALC scenes. It has learning mode which is used to save lighting configuration for each room and each lighting scene. In that time didn't include some other settings, for example, lux levels and triggers for the ALC scene and these still had to be configured inside the scene code. There is also ALC Mimic VD that can be set to first learn turning on/off lights and then use learned schedules to mimic lights when no one is at home. :-)

    I have seen your postes on the forum about it, but never used it (only made some changes on hc2 for customers). But have taken som inspiration :)
    And I want to make it as easy as possible for the user to do changes :D
    and Jgab have provided the Eventlib I love too use to get triggers in the quickapps to 😄

    I have also seen the "save scenes" thing in other systems like ELAN (now also nice like Fibaro) and it kinda makes it greath for the customer to change scenes :D 

    But the schdules to mimic light when I am not home, I guess we could do an api call for the light event like I do in my Quickapp for tempsensor 🤔 and extract the light value and timestamp for the change and set an event to be called for that time when my "Profile is vacation" 🤔
    I am going to check this out!  😄
