LIFX Bridge Plugin (Beta) - Harmony Hub integration!

[FlyingDiver]

Ah. See the sequence number at the end of the line? The Hub is sending out repeated commands for some reason. I think I can tweak the plugin to ignore repeats.

[popcorn-in-sac]

I did notice that. They are all marked as sequence 31. It does seem like just ignoring the duplicate ones would be the solution. Because it's fairly random, I'm guessing this is actually a bug of some sort on the Logitech side. I know they do some type of sending multiple commands on the IR side (from what I've read), but no mention of this being deliberate on the WiFi/API side.

Thanks again Joe

I'm getting an error when the plug-in starts. It then stops.

I'm seeing many more debug messages. Mostly references to duplicate or out of order sequences. I'm also using the Harmony iOS app, and even just switching between "LIFX" bulbs in the app, I'm seeing many of these sequence messages....not coming from any button-press actions.

I did try some actual lighting actions, and what I've included below shows an action. It also seems to indicate that duplicate commands were received, in sequence 76 I believe. In any event, this didn't drive duplicate Indigo/Insteon actions.

Oh, wow, that's ugly. And I'm seeing the same thing on my system, just selecting the lights in the Devices tab, not actually changing them. I'm going to have to put in some tracing code to see if I can figure out what all those messages are for.

What's worse is that it repeats a couple or more different messages multiple times. Right now, the version you have ignores any message that isn't a higher sequence number than the last one it processed. So it'll do 74, then 75, and ignore anything less than or equal to 75. Fine, that works for what we're seeing. But it'll break whenever that sequence number rolls over or resets. So on my system, I'm testing a version that ignores anything that's equal to the last number processed. Which doesn't have a rollover problem, but won't handle the case of two numbers alternating like you're seeing.

So it looks like I might have to implement a cache of some number of recent messages received to ignore. That sucks.

[popcorn-in-sac]

It seems like those numbers that come in pairs and alternate somewhat are related to something other than an overt button press action. As you said, that will require more investigation to figure out what that comes from. It almost seems like it's a status request type of message coming from the Harmony side. Like it's trying to figure out what the brightness or color or something is set to.

For all those, I really don't care, since those aren't supported functions anyway, so just ignoring those seems appropriate.

[FlyingDiver]

Except I have code to recognize and log all the "known" status request messages. So these are something else. Like I said, more research needed.

But figuring out how to remember which messages to ignore is going to be tricky.
