Here are some I send to 37 with Indigo Z-wave actions:

150994944 Fade rainbow colors
1224736847 Slow speed fade in/out
1224736815 Medium speed fade in/out
Thanks.
Had added those options and updated the plugin.
Still need a bit of testing for the colourChooser - not working completely right unfortunately (and side-tracked by Tesla plugin just posted)- need to work on my binary to decimal fangshey ..

(the aeotec bulb excel spreadsheet was ideal - and doesn’t seem same exists for Led strips)

I looked again and these may be better example values:

Param 37: 16777255 Fade rainbow colors
Param 39: 341835776 Param 37: 1375731791 Slow speed fade in/out red, green, blue

LED Simple Effects Plugin (for Fibaro RGBW)

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 what am I doing wrong ?
Looks like you are not using this plugin but another one? ?LED Manager...
Have a look here:
viewforum.php?f=176

Not sure I can help and would suggest you post there?

Glenn,

Can you fix the images on the first thread of this plugin, and the pluginstore, and github?

Can someone explain the interaction between raw Indigo use of Fibaro RGBW Controller or Aeotech RGB strips, this plugin and the LED Manager plugin?

What do I need one or both plugins to achieve?

(I'm new to any RGB stuff; no Hue, Fibaro, Aeotech RGB strips or anything)

Sure - the image host was down and have updated to their new URL. (probably should check other plugin info's as well)

I'm not sure I can go the full hog and explain how to use RGBW strips/controller.

But this Plugin:
- Enables the particularly devices build-in colour cycle/change modes (it is called Simple for a reason!)
Basically it allows an Action Group to be called for that device to run 'fireplace' mode for Fibaro RGBW
(it then sends the appropriate raw commands to turn on and off as needed)

These modes - are set and basically cycle through colours/effects internally to look in this case like a fireplace.

You could potentially manually recreate by sending multiple colour change Z-wave commands every few seconds or so - but that would potentially be a lot of Z-wave traffic...

LED Manager - not sure - I don't use.

Hi Glen,

Thanks for the plugin. I have updated to 0.2.0 but get this in the log:

Action Group Front Feature LED Smooth
LED Simple Effects Error Error in plugin execution ExecuteAction:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I am using the plug in on a ZW121 led strip with protocol version 4.34, app version 1.01.

This is the action called:

So I"m back at this again, and while I know I did have it working, thru a lot of changes, the LED's were put out to pasture, but I've recently found a new use for them.

I'm got a Fibro RGBW controller, Indigo can control the master channel as well as the 4 for RGBW, and I've got your plugin installed.

I create a new Action Group and navigate to LED Simple Actions, and choose Set LED Mode(the only option)
From here, I choose the master of my RGBW device. again the only choice.
From here, the big Paramaraters widow appears, but the LED Effect popup is grayed out. I can't choose anything here, so regardless of the other parameters, I get an error message every time I fire the action group.
LED Simple Effects Error No Command to Execute was specified in action for "***RGB. #1"

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong ?

Hi

It will be a difference in your model name at a guess. It definitely won’t work without selecting an appropriate option (which obviously you can’t)

What is the model name of the devices?
