Patterns
Posted: Sat Jul 07, 2018 8:16 pmOk so I'm trying to get Patterns to work.
I have discovered that this can only be done on the computer running Indigo, and not on the client computer. I get it.. No problem.
So on the server, I go to the Plugin Menu, and select "Add, Edit or Delete an LED Pattern"
Once there, I have the Welcome to the LED Manager Pattern Editor. This is a good step, one that I've never seen on the Indigo Client.
On the Pattern popup, I have NONE, COLD-ALARM, and ALARM as option.
I'm guessing these are pre-sets so don't want to mess them up but really want to create my own pattern.
I click on Add Pattern at the bottom, click in the Pattern field and give it a unique name, (in my case 3434), and select colors in the 5 pop up fields below. 5 Different Colors.
Next, I click on the TYPE pop up and select FOREVER
Next, in the Duration field, I add 600 to each field
From this point, I've clicked on "ADD PATTERN", "SAVE EDITS", and "DONE"
Back in Indigo, I create an Action Group, select. "Change a device or device group using a pattern(LED Light Manager Actions),
Select my Device, (Fibaro #1) and expect my new "Pattern" to show up in the Edit Action Settings Popup... but it isn't there..
Back in the Plugin "Welcome to the LED Manager Pattern Editor", my Pattern is selectable and I can edit and save the colors and the times... but alas, I don't see a way to select the pattern as an Action Group.
So now in frustration, I decided to edit one of the preset patterns, in my case "cold alarm". I expand it to 5 different colors, change the times somewhat, and click on SAVE EDITS.
back in action groups, I select it as the patten... but alas, the changes I've made don't take effect.
Ok so back in the Plugin menu, I see Purge Pattern Database to remove corrupt data. Nothing is working so far so what could go wrong, and I select it
in the Event Log, I see "** Purge Pattern Command Completed ** This must be good.
Back in the plugin Menu, now I can't bring up the Pattern Editor.. Ok. re-start the plugin.. still no editor
Ok so re-start the Indigo Server. still no pattern editor..
Back in Action Groups, the preset patterns are still options, but nothing else
so what am I doing wrong ?
