Version 1.0.4 Now Available

I have uploaded V1.0.4 to Github .

Discovery now runs on a separate thread so that existing Indigo nanoleaf devices are immediately active on plugin start and reload.

Processing work-around added to enable Indigo action ‘Set RGBW Levels’ to work.
To differentiate between Color and White the plugin does the following: If any of Red, Green or Blue values are greater than zero then the plugin assumes you are setting a Color otherwise it will use the White Level and Temperature values.

See main announcement post for download link. :)

Re: Version 1.0.4 Now Available

I think you mean "Now"
:D

This is working great for me, to the point that I only have a couple of UI nits to pick. They're fresh in my mind because I just set up about 10 different actions with my panels.

1. Seems like "nanoleaf" should be capitalized throughout the plugin. I mean yeah the logo isn't capitalized, but they do capitalize in text.

2. When choosing an action, you have to select a device type, but there's only one option. Is this just a placeholder for future anticipated products, like those Nanoleaf light bulbs?

3. Even if you only have one Aurora, you still need to select it when creating an action. Possible for it to be selected automatically?

This is awesome work, autolog!

Yes - Now (excuse the pun) corrected. :)

re: points above:
  1. I was wondering about that but took a design decision to make it all lowercase - you've now encouraged me to change it for the next release :)
  2. This is the way Indigo's UI works and can't be changed by a plugin AFAIK
  3. Likewise as point 2. above. The easiest way to do this (but probably too late for you now as you have already set-up the actions) is to set-up the first action and then just duplicate the action: change its name and edit the effect to choose a different one and then save the action.
Thanks for the kind words. :)

Re: Version 1.0.4 Now Available

The plugin workes perfectly, the only problem is my wife, she won't let me install them, she doesn't want the house looking like a spaceship :)

Maybe I shall talk with here before buying cool stuff :)

Anyone can share images of them installed ? So I can show her.

Re: Version 1.0.4 Now Available

You and me both. She says she doesn't need to flood the room in different colours. In fairness I'm not that keen on flooding the room with colour either, but subtle hints on one or two panels might be nice.

I've also attempted to argue that we can cool down or warm up the lights subtly depending on the season. That hasn't worked.

What are the lights like when white? Can you subtly colour them to match cool or warm white?

Re: Version 1.0.4 Now Available

They have a variety of color temperatures. You could also mix more or less white panels with colored panels.

I will get around to sharing a picture, but a house that looks like a spaceship is sort of an aesthetic my wife and I agree on. So I'm not sure how much help it will be!

Re: Version 1.0.4 Now Available

Once again, I was forced to replace my DSL modem, and my nanoleaf is fine--but the plugin can't find it. I think it's perhaps insisting on looking for it at its previous IP address, which was dynamic and is no longer the same.

I've disabled and restarted the plugin, but I still get:

Re: Version 1.0.4 Now Available

Looks like I need to put in some more user-friendly error checking :wink:

I am not a networking expert, but for some reason it can't connect to Port 9090 on your host computer using a bind with socket.gethostname().

Can you run the following command in a terminal window to see what you get: python -c "import socket; print socket.gethostname()"
Just copy and paste the results from the terminal window into a code block in the reply to this post.

That might give us a clue as to what is going on - I suspect it is something to do with your new router setup but we need to figure out what.

I think this sort of issue has reared its head with the Alexa-Hue Bridge in the past?

I don't have anything Alexa, so I can't comment there.

@Different Computers: I have uploaded a new version (1.0.5) to Github. It has improved discovery error checking. You can also now specify the host computer IP address in the Plugin configuration which will override the normal process. This may help with the issue you are having? :)

Re: Version 1.0.4 Now Available

Hi @chasyori,
Please can you update to the latest version (V1.0.5) that I have just uploaded to Github.

I need to see the debug log entries for when the Plugin starts. The log you uploaded only has the plugin in a running state and just shows the plugin running its polling loop. So if you install the new version and then upload the log after it fails to discover any of your devices it will hopefully allow me to see what is happening.

As I don't know what the problem is (yet), you might also like to try the new Plugin configuration option that allows you to specify your host computer's IP address - this might help? :)

Re: Version 1.0.4 Now Available

Sorry, I haven't had a chance to try. In a horrific freak of technical synchronization, my DSL modem crapped out when I was one reboot into upgrading my Indigo mac to 10.12.5. I ended up with some display problems meaning I could only access it via remote desktop, which is tricky with the network down!

And this morning I realized my Z-stick drivers didn't survive the upgrade. Fun fun!
