Wrong brightness when recalling a scene

Hi,

I am recalling a preset scene, as brightness I set "5", but the lights are set at 56, I do not see any error in the logs.

Thanks
Marco

Marco,

I just tested a scene I have set on an iPhone.
1. created an action to recall that scene, saved
2. changed the light randomly
3. executed that scene
that worked fine.

Could you be more specific on how you have set it up/ what does the scene do
with debug setting "send commands to bridge" (5) in config
you can see what is end to the bridge:
eg for me that was in file: /Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 2022.1/Logs/com.nathansheldon.indigoplugin.HueLights/plugin.log :

with a lot of sensor update messages

could you be so kind and post that output ?

you can switch the debug off after you have executed that scene one.

This is what I have (see image)

But I do not see the debug logs as you (I checked the "log 5"

i can reproduce the error, thank you,

will check in the next days.

That is actually not an error

The scene you selected defines these values
Brightness and color temp

Any selection for those 2 gets ignored.

That’s actually what scenes are. They set these values. Brightness, rgb, Color temp, …

So the selection menu is wrong.
When you select a scene any other value is ignored.

Changing that is not trivial. The current method used is a very simple indigo short cut of doing it. There can not be any „if“ during selection only at execution time

Karl, thanks a lot.
It means, the brightness value shall be set inside the scene, not in Indigo, am I right?

No. In the current version the plugin set the values to the fixed value.
It is just a name for brightness 56 and colortemp= xx

here the hard wired scenes:

Code: Select all

         # Configure presets
         if preset == "concentrate":
            brightness = 219
            temperature = 4292
         elif preset == "relax":
            brightness = 144
            temperature = 2132
         elif preset == "energize":
            brightness = 203
            temperature = 6410
         elif preset == "reading":
            brightness = 240
            temperature = 2890


for relax mod it is set to 144 /255*100 = 56.4705 = 56

ps
the levels are converted between scales 0-100 and 0-255 (indigo <-> hue <-> % )
