Any interest in wireless RGB LED strip lights with HomeSeer?

[gearyt]

Hey guys, just jumping in here. 3 questions.

First, is there a version of this for HS2?
Second, has anyone found the best setting for RGBW to emulate incandescent? Meaning 2700K?
And Third (Lazy question), is there a link to the download of this so I do not have to go through the whole thread?

Thanks in advance guys, and thanks a lot for building this! I am pumped to get started with it.

yes.. started as HS2, see start of thread
no.. depends on LED selected
sorry... I'm lazy too

Is there a script showing how to call HS3 version of the Kevin Lo plugin for the wifi rgb controller? [This would be much simpler to write if it was in its own thread]

I cannot find the HS3 script reference and with the plugin scripting interface being so different, my old vb.net scripts do not work without modifications. Knowing how to modify by example would save much time.

For example, in the vb.net scripting reference it is now hs.PluginFunction("plugin name", "instance name", "Function name", array of parameters)
I do not know what the plugin is called, or whether it is a multi-instance plugin, what functions are available, and what parameter configuration is expected.

I can make guesses, but it would be better to be told.

Here you go.

Thanks. Works now.

Then how do I tell the HS3 plugin the ip address of the rgb led wifi controller?

When you start the plug-in , it will create a device for you. You can config the IP on that device.

For HS3 plug-in , there is no INI file need to be config. The audio DLL only will call when you press the Audio control button. If you don't press it , it will not have any problem for the plug-in.

Thanks

Until this problem is resolved, can you release a version that does not use the audio portion of the plugin so I can actually test it on HS3?

Also, the user manual (http://www.x10-hk.com/store/download...ser_Manual.pdf) does not tell me what file name is needed to configure the plugin.

I copied my HS2 config/...ini file to config/...ini on my HS3 system but am not going to purchase an audio driver.

Please advise.

I get that error on one my of HS3 machine , that is running on the ESXi VMware. The server didn't have phiscal sound card and no sound card detected in the VM Win7 x64 , that why have that problem. (And speaker have a red cross on system tray)

Then I install the virtual sound card for testing , then my problem solve.

I can't reproduce the problem in my other "normal" PC that running HS3.

I try to find out which DLL or driver is missing. If I uninstall the software , problem happen again. I believe that , there should be some driver for Audio is missing.

Yes , now I only implement the Red channel only. Any idea on the color for audio control ? just looping R -> G -> B ?

try to set the fade rate to 0 or 1 , then you will see the change.

The signal for the average of RGB should be relative to average of the audio, and the peak should be related to the peak bass / mid to give the impact. Just my thoughts, and could be wrong.

Same here...installed the software fixed the issue. I had previously tried installing the Motherboards native soundcard drivers (rather than just relying on the drivers that Windows installed), but that didn't help.

I'm going to play around and see if you can just keep certain files or just the driver at no cost.

In the meantime, one thing - the audio control only uses the red channel - is that correct?

I guess two things - it seems like the fades in and out based on the music should be "harsher" or more abrupt. There are no distinct changes when there's a big bass hit...just a soft fade.

Thanks,

Adding software cured problem...

Adding software cured problem... but... Do I really need to spend $40 to fix ?
should work with just OS
