Masquerade Plugin

Well, here's the problem:

Code: Select all

   <Action id="actionSetZoneVolume" deviceFilter="self.russoundZone">
      <Name>Set Zone Volume Level</Name>
      <CallbackMethod>actionSetZoneVolume</CallbackMethod>
      <ConfigUI>       
         <Field id="setting" type="menu">
            <Label>Volume Level:</Label>
            <List class="self" method="getVolumeList"/>
         </Field>
      </ConfigUI>      
   </Action>


The "setting" field isn't a simple text field. It's a popup menu. Which is populated by:

Code: Select all

   def getVolumeList(self):
      array = []
      for i in range(0, 51):
         array.append((self.dec2hex(i), i * 2))
         i =+ 1
      return array


So the actual value that needs to be sent to the Russound is a hex value, not a decimal value. Like:

Code: Select all

0 -> 00
1 -> 01
10 -> 0A
11 -> 0B
20 -> 14
32 -> 20
and so on

It looks like the popup for the set volume action will have values 0 to 100 by 2s, is that right? I'm looking at the code, but I have not installed the plugin to create any devices.

I set up a quick action using the Russound plugin and setting the volume to 24 (the volume will go to 100 but i dont usually go past 30ish)

Code: Select all

Sorry

Yes it is does go up in 2's

I'm trying to figure out a way to get around this issue without adding special case code to the plugin.

When you look at the states for "Russound Zone 1", what's in the "Volume" state? What are the high and low values, and are they decimal or hex? Post the value you set and what the State is set to for a range of settings.

Looks like you are right on the hex i think Low Byte is the Vol

I still need to know what's in the "Volume" state. Is it the hex value, or does the plugin covert it to an integer?

The volume state shows the dec figure

Did you set the volume to 20? 20 could be hex. Try a couple different volume settings and report what the state shows. Preferably with the text from the Indigo log.

Nevermind. I looked at the Russound plugin code to see what it's doing.

https://github.com/FlyingDiver/Indigo-M ... tag/v0.0.6

You're going to need to set up the Device configuration very carefully for this to work. It's going to look like this:

Screen Shot 2016-12-15 at 12.56.01 PM 12-15.png (358.52 KiB) Viewed 7310 times

The state scaling is 0-100, because that's the range of the Volume state variable.

The action scaling is 0-50, because that's the actual range the device accepts, even though the set volume pop-up is showing 0-100. It's lying.

And the action expects that value to be Hex, so that's the last popup. I forgot to change the label on that one, it'll be fixed in the next release.

Hi Joe

I have set up exactly as you said but the logic doesn't seem to be working

Amend the dimmer to 78 this is the debug

Setting the plugin to 54

Code: Select all

   Russound Debug                      Updating Device: Russound Zone 1, State: Volume, Value: 54
   Masquerade Debug                scaleBaseToMasq: lowLimit = 0, highLimit = 100, reverse = False, input = 54, scaled = 54
   Masquerade Debug                dimmerDeviceUpdate: Russound Zone 1 (54) --> Living Room Music (54)


So the scaling isn't working but all else seems ok if i now amend the scaling on both to 100

Now set dimmer to 57 and this happens and the dimmer shows 28

Code: Select all

   Masquerade Debug                validateDeviceConfigUi, typeID = masqDimmer
   Masquerade Debug                scaleMasqToBase: lowLimit = 0, highLimit = 100, reverse = False, input = 57, format = Hexidecimal, scaled = 39
   Masquerade Debug                actionControlDevice: "Living Room Music" Set Brightness to 57 (scaled = 39)


So it looks like the Hex is working but the dimmer scaling in not, could it be that the top value is also using Hex?

Sorry for your trouble

I don't get it. All of those look exactly correct except for the last one where you changed the scaling. You should not be looking at the scaled number in the debug output. That's the internal value passed to the Russound plugin, and it's actually a hex number. You just didn't happen to set it to any values where the output would obviously be hex.

In all three tests, the number you set the slider to on the Masquerade device is the same as the number reported by the Russound plugin after the update:

Code: Select all

   Masquerade Debug                actionControlDevice: "Living Room Music" Set Brightness to 79 (scaled = 27)

   Masquerade Debug                dimmerDeviceUpdate: Russound Zone 1 (78) --> Living Room Music (78)


If you attempt to put in an odd number from the slider (or any other method) it's going to get rounded down because the device actually only has a range of 50 (not 100).

So what are you expecting to see different?

Hi Joe

What I'm expecting is that 100% on the slider would equal a 50 on the russound state as 50 would be the max volume

Nope. The Russound plugin scales that value to 100. Try setting max value using the Russound Plugin action and see what you get.

Which is why back in viewtopic.php?f=216&t=17402&p=130749#p130653 I asked you to post the values of that state after setting various volume settings. You didn't, so I looked at the code to see what it was doing.

Your right the russound plugin will go to 100 but that almost blows your speakers so I was hoping that we could restrict it so that maximum on the slider (100%) would equal 50 on the volume state. This is what i assumed the scale section would do

No, the scaling is to match the dimmer range (0-100) to the underlying device range. Limiting the range is out of scope for the plugin. You'll need to do that in your control pages or some such.
