hex colors

[Fischi]

Hi,
I have installed a color mixer on my Philips Pronto TSU 9800 remotes that sends hex color codes (i.e. #3d3787 or 0x 3d3787) to a Hs3 devices string.
Is it possible to put the replacement variable for the devicestring into a script to control the HUE bulbs with the JowiHue plugin ?
If yes I would purchase the plugin immediately.

Regards,
Fischi

There is a RGB function, but it accepts the RGB values. From the documentation:


SetLightsRGB


Sets lights based on CIE color mode (“xy”)
Returns a Boolean. True = successful, False = unsuccessful
Parameters: 5
Group : True/False – if True groups will be addressed by this command, otherwise lights
Name : name of the group or light to be controlled
Bright : Value of brightness to be set. Value can be between 0 and 255. To use the values from RGB calculation use ‘Nothing’. Setting Bright to 0 will result in an “off” for the light.
RGB : Value of RGB to be set. Value is limited to RGB values “0,0,0” to “255,255,255”. To keep the current value use ‘Nothing’
Transition : Value for transition time of the new setting. Value is in 1/10 of seconds. To have no transition use ‘Nothing’

Syntax:

Dim test As Boolean = hs.PluginFunction("JowiHue", "", "SetLightsRGB", {True, "All Lights", Nothing, “255,255,0”, 20})


This will not help you straight away, but I can add the scripting function for HEX control if needed. It will take some time though before it is released as I am working on some larger changes. If needed I can send you a beta once I have added it.

And do not buy the plugin immediately, you have a 30 day trial to choose using a Philips Hue or deCONZ gateway?

Thanks for your trust though!

Thanks Wim,
it would be nice if you could add the scripting function for HEX control and send me a beta.
BTW : I‘m still on Hs3 😉

Stay healthy,
kind regards,

Hi Wim,
I‘ve changed my Philips Pronto TSU 9800 remote to send the RGB color code. (i.e 255,23,134) to a Hs3 devices string auch as $$DTR:2208:
Is it possible to use the replacement variable to control my HUE color LED bulb this way. :

Dim test As Boolean = hs.PluginFunction("JowiHue", "", "SetLightsRGB", {True, "All Lights", Nothing, “$$DTR:2208:”, 20})

The plugin does nt with the replacement variable. But as you are scripting you can also use js.dvicestring(2208) instead?

Dim test As Boolean = hs.PluginFunction("JowiHue", "", "SetLightsRGB", {True, "All Lights", Nothing, hs.devicestring(2208), 20})

Guess that would be a good solution. Is now the change for hex string no longer needed?

Thanks again Wim,
Please give me some time to try it out, then I will report

No problem, we will get there

Hi Wim,
I've made good progress with setting the colors but I can't increase/decrease the dim level:

Error: (DimLights) Die Objektvariable oder die With-Blockvariable wurde nicht festgelegt.

In my config I have : Standard dim step for devices (1 to 254) 30

Where is my issue ?

How are you reaching the dim lights function? Not by the script command I suppose as I do not see the connection there? Are you using a different script, or using the up/down button on the device?

[Fischi]

Wim ,
yes, I‘m reaching the dim lights function by the script command and a have found the issue : I‘ve had to change the group entry to my group . „All Lights“ doesn‘t work for dimming the lights.
All is running OK now . I‘ll do some testing next days and then I will buy this great plugin !

The all lights group is becoming more and more unreliable. It is holding a log of 'non' lights lately, like blinds and plugs. I might just decide to hide this group in the near feature as it is starting to be a confusing group. Great it is working now!
