Immediate script for decrease light actually increase light

[inquirer]

Great, thanks for the update!

You are right on that - I published the new beta yesterday and the issue is fixed in it, - the issue was on Philips Hue bridges, not groups only. For deCONZ gateways it has been working fine already.

I published the new beta yesterday and hope to be able to release the new version soon.

Strange, I'm not using it with a group. I'm just running this immediate script in a recurring event (a similar one increases the level):
&fhs.PluginFunction("JowiHue", "", "DecreaseLevel", new object[] {false, "Cove Light", true, false, false, false});

It's ironic. I just ran into this last night, and yes, with a group, and was just about to post a new message when I saw this.


I'm impressed, w.vuyk . You are fixing things before your beta testers are reporting them. Well Done!

The change was made and it works for lights. But I found an issue when you do the same for groups - were you trying to control a group device maybe?
I missed it for groups and I guess you are the first to see this .

It will be solved in the next release.

Thanks for letting me know!

Was the change ever made to stop rotating the brightness? I'm currently on 2.0.3.3 and I'm still seeing this behavior with a light strip.

Super.
Yes its fine that the colors keeps rotating.

Lars,

You should not change anything in the script I think. The plugin rotates values when it reaches the highest value for Hue, or Sat or CT. It does the same for brightness. For The color attributes it is logical, but I think you are right to say it is not logical for brightness. I will remove the rotation in values for brightness in the plugin.

You are ok with that too I suppose?

Should i change anything to the script used for increase/decrease of lights with the Cube.

Sub Main(parms As Object)
Try
Dim DimMax As Integer = 100
Dim Side As Integer = hs.devicevalue(977)
Dim Lights() As Integer = {0, 738, 738, 738, 738, 738, 738}
Dim CurrentDimValue As Integer = hs.devicevalue(Lights(Side))
Dim Rotation As Integer = hs.devicevalue(850)
Dim DimNew As Integer = CurrentDimValue
Dim cc As HomeSeerAPI.CAPIControl = hs.CAPIGetSingleControlbyuse(Lights(Side), 3) ' True, "Dim", False, True)
DimNew = CurrentDimValue + ((Rotation / 360) * DimMax)
If DimNew >= DimMax Then DimNew = DimMax
If DimNew < 1 Then DimNew = 1
' hs.setdevicevaluebyref(Lights(Side), DimNew, True)
cc.ControlValue = DimNew
Dim cr As HomeSeerAPI.CAPIControlResponse = hs.CAPIControlHandler(cc)
Catch ex As exception
hs.writelog("Emil Cube", ex.message)
End Try

Yes, it works with the new 'Level' function.
But one little annoying thing is when it hits maximum level and you Increase the level, it jumps to the lowest level.
That is very annoying. Can it be changed?

One can never be sure, when the maximum level is reached and therefore hitting the increase function by mistake.

Lars.

*stumping head* I made an error in the latest update, where I added increase and decrease for CT values as well. And that is where I mixed up the functions. Sorry for that! Will be corrected in the next version, which will appear few weeks from now.

Be aware that somewhere soon the in/decreaselights functions will be depreciated and replaced by In/DecreaseLevel with one extra parameter for CT as last parameter (True/False)

If you now replace the function by &nhs.PluginFunction("JowiHue", "", "DecreaseLevel", {False, "Lars Light", True, False, False,False}) it will be corrected right now.

I have some events to in/decrease some Ikea bulbs, but both increase and decrease function only increase the light.
&nhs.PluginFunction("JowiHue", "", "DecreaseLights", {False, "Lars Light", True, False, False})

What could be the problem here:
