Twinkly.vb - Christmas tree lights with predefined and custom animations

[randy]

This is probably something I should see, but I don't. I have scripting references set. Newtonsoft.Json.dll is in the HomeSeer HS3/ the HomeSeer HS3/bin and about a dozen other places in the /bin subdirectory. When I launch the script calling the subroutine setup, I get these errors (newest on top).

I would be very interested in this too!
Made changes to the settings.ini file as per previous post.
I get the same error message as posted by rprade albeit not the very top one re 'TwinklyAuthentication'.
Using HS4 Pro.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Just jumping on this also as I have a TON of Twinkly lights and it would be great to have them integrated into Homeseer. I am getting the same error as others are reporting:

Appreciate any help getting this working!

[Moskus]

, I'm not sure what's going on. The script should work on Windows and LInux, as long as the Newtonsoft.Json.dll is correctly referenced.

[mattdb]

Got by that last error, now getting the declared error that fx12002 is getting HS4

could it be different versions of newtonsoft.json

[mattdb]

further, when ever I restart HS4, it deletes the line I added in settings.ini

[mattdb]

OK fixed that error. In order to make changes to settings.ini, HS4 has to NOT be running. The path to newtonsoft.json and newtonsoft.dll needs to be spot on.

C:\Program Files (x86)\HomeSeer HS3\Bin\homeseer\newtonsoft.json in my case.

[mattdb]

How do you add or change the modes? I have the Christmas Tree lights in two strings joined. The script only controls one string instead of one joined...

[Moskus]

Yeah, I don't know if that is supported by the API. I haven't researched it.

[Broes]

Thanks Moskus, my Christmas tree is connected to HS now .
The only thing is that the devices won't show up when creating an event and that the devices are gone after a HS restart.
Any ideas?

[Moskus]

Yes, this is a typical error. Select to show all device types.

[outbackrob]

Oh man! Somehow I managed to miss this thread for a year and a half. Wish I hadn't seen it at all!!! Now I have to have these lights! Ugh!

[indiglo]

Sorry to revive an old thread folks but I need a little help here.

Thanks to Moskus, I have been able to add the Twinkly light to my HS4. And, using the controls that his script has provided, the lights respond appropriately.

My issue is that the device created by the script does not appear in the device dropdown list during the event creation process.

I see a similar issue posted above by Broes in Dec 2020, to which Moskus replied "Select to show all device types," though I don't understand what he is referring to there.

Any tips anyone?

Thank you.

[jon00]

Sounds like HS4 beta issues. Try the latest which corrected this issue: https://docs.homeseer.com/display/HSPI/HS4+Beta+4.2.2.0

[Michael McSharry]

I don't want to discourage any progress with this script. I just want to make aware of WLED that has a plethora of animations for lights and is supported in HS by the mcsMQTT plugin.
