Hue Lights discussion

[kw123]

.. i looked into effect. you mean the selection in a device action ?

That is currently hard wired with only 2 options: none and Color loop. The hue tag is colorloop

I have not found any place on the bridge where the effect options are stored, so that they can be read and used and set

looking at the info of a light strip device which is currently running the color loop it still says "effect": "none",

Code: Select all

{
 ...
  "state": {
    "alert": "select", 
    "bri": 127, 
    "colormode": "xy", 
    "ct": 500, 
    "effect": "none", 
    "hue": 286, 
    "mode": "homeautomation", 
    "on": true, 
    "reachable": true, 
    "sat": 253, 
    "xy": [
      0.6803, 
      0.3165
    ]
  }, 
...

to proceed I need the exact name of the effect i can send to a lamp.

I will add, just to try it:
Candle as candle
Fireplace as fireplace

with that spelling for the time being

[edit]
I tried candle and fireplace, but those commands got rejected

Code: Select all

v1.10.18 released

https://github.com/IndigoDomotics/Hue-L ... ag/1.10.18
added option to enter effect manually besides preset colorloop in effect action

In case of failure the logfile will show:
Hue Lights Error set effect failure: - [{"error":{"type":7,"address":"/lights/6/state","description":"invalid value, fireplace, for parameter, effect"}}]

Karl, Thanks.

I'm on 1.8.7. Didn't realize that the plug-in store was behind. Thanks and I'll download the latest version now.

Same error. Could this be a "scene" vs an "Effect" and would that make a difference?

[kw123]

The command is effect:name
And the announcement states fireplace is an effect. So I guess it is effect

May be one needs to update the bridge and lamps.

I really don’t know what to do.

I have not found a reference to the required command.

How exactly does it work. What do you do on your phone. -screen shots please -

Hello,

I've been using the plugin for many years without problems. Thank you very much for this great plugin and the continuous development.
I was checking logs yesterday and there is a repeating error.
2022-04-23 10:27:47.934 Hue Lights Error plugin runConcurrentThread function returned or failed (will attempt again in 10 seconds)
2022-04-23 10:27:58.154 Hue Lights Error Error in plugin execution runConcurrentThread:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "plugin.py", line 337, in runConcurrentThread
AttributeError: 'DimmerDevice' object has no attribute 'pluginpros'

Any idea what to do?

Thanks Gilles
