[Abandoned] deCONZ

I’ve added the LIDL christmastree lights to deCONZ, I cannot set the scenes, but at least I can change static color from within the Phoson webinterface. When adding to Homey however I cannot do anything, only on/off works. Is there something else I can do to enable color management inside Homey?

Depends on how this device gets integrated by deconz. Can you show me how it looks like trough the api? I think even scenes could be supported, I think i read something like that in githube somewhere but cannot find it anymore

Could it be the ‘effect’?

    },
    "swversion": null,
    "type": "Color dimmable light",
    "uniqueid": "58:8e:81:ff:fexxxxxxx"

Confirmed! It working! Thanks a lot for the quick fix!

Yes seems so, see also https://github.com/dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin/issues/3716

What makes me curious a bit is that you can only turn it on and off trough the homey app. As it stands here it should support brightness, hue and sat. Are these available but just do not work?

No, just on/off… nothing else, see screenshot.

According to https://github.com/dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin/issues/3716#issuecomment-736789205 and the last post the effects will be available in the next beta version which is set to be released yesterday… but I cannot find it within the changelog: https://github.com/dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin/releases

Same here… you also add it as a “generic lamp” ?

yup

Hey there, I’ve had a lot of boring meetings and had some time to support this device a little better. The device is now supported using a dedicated driver that also should allow you to controll the effects including speed and colors (see the action card).

Checkout the next beta: https://homey.app/de-ch/app/de.dresden-elektronik.deconz/deCONZ/test/

As I do not own this device I cannot properly test it, only that the correct requests are sent. Please give me some feedback if it works or not

Nice one, thanks!

And can you program the buttons to behave as expected, so by holding the button ‘warmer light’ or ‘increase brightness’ the light becomes gradually warmer/lighter (instead of having to press the button multiple times to have it jump predefined steps per button press)?

BTW: this might not be the right place for this question, but I didn’t find the answer elsewhere yet. So feel free to link an answer that I couldn’t find.

Cool! It works too :wink:

There is one thing I don’t understand. I can add the effect with the action card but also add multiple colors. What do those colors do? Because whatever I set, it doesn’t seem to do anything.

Same goes for the 0% / 100% sliderbar, brightness I suppose? Doesn’t seem to work in this action card, should it?

Btw, nice touch the christmas tree icon :wink:

Unfortunately this is not supported by the hardware. It only emits events for buttons presses but not when a button is hold

Super! The slider is the effect speed and the colors are the effect colors (I’ll add some labels). As I understood it some (but not all) effects support these two additional settings. Unfortunately I cannot test it myself. I’ve got the details from here: https://github.com/dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin/issues/3716#issuecomment-736789205

Please let me know if I can improve something there, it is pretty hard to do this without being able to test it

Thanks. Did not manage to change it. So built a new docker with new portnumbers. Now it’s up-and-running and playing nicely with Homey.

It works great i also can add the effect by flow cards !!

Hey there, change collors in effects doesn’t work for me at the moment maybe you can take al look at it… what about your experience @Martijn_Hoogenbosch ?

You mean the effects with the action card? No they don’t do anything. Am still planning to try every effect to see if it works for one effect. Same goes for the slider with speed settings. Shall do that in the morning tomorrow.

Yes, if you select a effect for example “firework” you can change wich colors you want to use for it… unfortunately it doenst work at the moment… i also use the app Hue Essentials with deconz that works great… maybe @MadMonkey can take a look at the collors for effects

Unfortunately I cannot as I don’t own the device. Is any you (@Seinuh or @Martijn_Hoogenbosch) able to perform some direct request to test things out?
