Support for Hue Aurelle panel?

[slackman1]

Hi Nathan,

Thanks for building this great plugin! I have recently got a Hue Aurelle panel, which is not yet supported. Attached a screenshot of the app, for the light info.
Or, can I amend the plugin myself? If so, what 'type' of Hue light would this be?

Kind regards, Gerrit Jan

Hi Nathan,

update: Added the model to the 'kAmbianceDeviceIDs' in supportedDevices.py, reloaded the plugin and this basically seems to do the trick. Can add the Aurelle and fully control it.
Aurelle panels are available in three sizes, adding support for them seems only a matter of adding the correct model ID's...

Best regards, Gerrit Jan

• Fixed a bug that would cause continuous Indigo error messages if a motion sensor was disabled on the Hue bridge.
• Added support for a new Hue ambiance candle bulb.
• Added support for a Hue Aurelle panel.

Hi Gerrit. Yes, that's really all that adding compatibility involves for lights. It's just adding the model ID to the correct list in the supportedDevices.py file. Adding support for sensors and switches is much different.

Hi Nathan,

Support for this Aurelle type light seems to have vanished from recent plugin versions.
Log entry at plugin load: "The "Hue Aurelle hal onderhuis" device has an unrecognized model ID of "3216131P6". Hue Lights plugin does not support this device."

Also I think support for the HueOutdoor type "1745630P7" is not yet there, though also this light works since I manually added the ID in an earlier version of your plugin.

Would you be so kind to amend this at your convenience? (this light still works okay too)

Kind regards, Gerrit Jan

Hi Gerrit.

Sorry about that. I'll fix the Aurelle support and add the Hue outdoor light support in the next release.

Try the new version.
It ignores the modelid and only uses type
Any new light that uses existing types should work.

Color
Extended color
Ambient color
Dimmer
On/off
Etc
