A new beta has been published for JowiHue.
Main change in this plugin is the way how sensors are recognised and how the devices are created. If you have existing sensors, they should still work.
For the beta testers I would want to ask to remove some sensors from the devices and restart the plugin. Then the plugin should recreate the removed sensors. Most often with the same values still, some might see some changes in the device values.
In this beta other changes and bugs are done. An overview:

A short explanation of the new scripting commands:
SetPreset
Start a preset for the chosen lights
Returns a Boolean. True = successful, False = unsuccessful
Parameters: 3
Name : name of the preset to be set
Lights : Name of lights or groups to be set with the preset. When you need to set more then one light or group add “;” beween the names (“Lamp 1;Lamp 2”)
Transitiontime: transtiontime between quotes to use, or send empty string for default setting(“100” or “”)
Syntax:
SetPresetRandom
Start a random preset for the chosen lights
Returns a Boolean. True = successful, False = unsuccessful
Parameters: 3
Lights : Name of lights or groups to be set with the preset. When you need to set more then one light or group add “;” beween the names (“Lamp 1;Lamp 2”)
PresetGroup: Name of presetgroup to use for the random function. Leave empty whey you want to use all presets available
Transtiontime : transtiontime between quotes to use, or send empty string for default setting(“100” or “”)

Februari 20, 2018
2.0.1.11
This is the release candidate
New
- Added support for alarm detectors, smoke/gas detectors, water detectors and fire detectors for the deCONZ gateways
- Updated API from deCONZ to latest status
- Added power consumption to the plugin for the Xiaomi and Heiman plugs (not reporting yet) for the deCONZ gateways
- Added support for several new devices through the XML
- Updated the "bright 0" behaviour for deCONZ to match the behaviour of the Philips bridges. You can now alo set transition time with the "Bright 0" command
Bugs
- Some improvements on a Linux issue when lights are reporting xy values. Hoping this is resolved..
- Solved an issue where the deCONZ bridge device did not return to reachable after being unreachable. This did not prevent the correct functioning of the bridge, but you could not be sure if all was right.
- some more bugs were caught, minor issues.
Februari 14, 2018
2.0.1.10
New
- Added an option to randomize the presets used in actions of a event. This can be filtered based on grouping of the presets
- Added scriptcommands for starting a preset and also choose a random preset by script.
- Changed behaviour of the off command when used as "bright 0" in JowiHue actions. If you use the transition time here it will be honoured i case of bright 0 command. But be aware that a subsequent "on" will turn on the light at a low level and not at the last level before the off was generated. This works only on Philips bridges, deCONZ does not honour the transition time with an off signal yet.
- Added new (sensor) devices to the database so correct values can be shown. If you want to see the correct descriptions for statusses, please update the devices by going to the properties of a device and press the button 'rebuild device values" on the JowiHue tab
Bugs
- triggering a JowiHue action with a bright 0 command for groups of light was not working, lights in this group did not respond. This is now corrected.
- On linux systems the deCONZ webhook would not correctly update when xy values were send. This should now work normally.
- An issue with pressure devices updating has been resolved.
- When a deCONZ gateway was moved to another ip address there was a high possiblility that the plugin would not recognise this conrrectly, resulting in doubled devices. This should now work as planned again.
- After new lights or sensors are added, it could happen the plugin would not update devices before a restart of the plugin was done. Now it should update sensors and lights immediatly.
- Few users had a long time issue of a damaged datatable, including myself. I never was able to find the cause, but finally, this bug should belong to the past from now on...
A short explanation of the new scripting commands:
SetPreset
Start a preset for the chosen lights
Returns a Boolean. True = successful, False = unsuccessful
Parameters: 3

Syntax:
Code:
Dim test As Boolean = hs.PluginFunction("JowiHue", "", "SetPreset", { "Gold", "TableLight;KitchenLight",""})
Start a random preset for the chosen lights
Returns a Boolean. True = successful, False = unsuccessful
Parameters: 3
Lights : Name of lights or groups to be set with the preset. When you need to set more then one light or group add “;” beween the names (“Lamp 1;Lamp 2”)
PresetGroup: Name of presetgroup to use for the random function. Leave empty whey you want to use all presets available
Transtiontime : transtiontime between quotes to use, or send empty string for default setting(“100” or “”)
Syntax:
Code:
Dim test As Boolean = hs.PluginFunction("JowiHue", "", "SetPresetRandom", {"TableLight;KitchenLight","Colorfull",""})
2.0.1.9
New
- Expanded the functions of the up and down buttons for Hue/Sat and CT devices. Earlier the valus would go down only. The behaviour is now changed so the value will reste to its high value once the low values are reached. The same is in effect for the scripting commands IncreaseLights and DecreaseLights.
- The rebuild device values button is now also implemented for the light devices.
- Added an option to display bridge values for a light or a sensor when opening the JowiHue tab on the deviceproperty pages. This function is usefull when a new light or sensor is added and you want to send details about this device to the plugin owner.
Bugs
- Some color devices would not be created when the lighttype was holding a non standard description. This has been corrected.
- Updated execution of animations making it more reliable
- Recovery option for animation updated so it would only recover light settings for the lights actually used
- While checking on the up and down button I discovered that at some point I removed the up and down buttons for the saturation devices. This is now corrected.
- Sometimes Hue, SAT or CT devices would not be created/corrected if the XML file was updated. That would be corrected with a restart of the plugin. It is now made sure it will also work 'dynamically'.

2.0.1.8
New
- Updated and added several sensors to get correct values correctly once created as device
- Updated default divisor for temperature and humidity sensorvalues to 100
- Enabled use of ':' and ';' in names of scenes, lights and groups.
December 2017
2.0.1.7
New
- Changed the way sensors are recognised and corresponding devices are created. This has no consequences for existing devices, only for new sensors
- Added an update button on the deviceproperties to update possible device values (VSPairs).
- Changed handling of the transition time for Philips Hue bridges. This now enables the lights connected to go on at the last status before they were switched off. This might cause some events to have a different result!
- Added the color setting for Alexa - it should work once the API for HomeSeer is accepted.
Bugs
- When activating a scene that is stored on the bridge, all other lights could be switched on a brightness of 1. This should no longer occur.
