On/Off #12

Closed Kev0123 closed 3 years ago

Kev0123 commented 3 years ago

First of all: this is by far the best solution for artnet. You can easily bump the versiob to a major release. Its working like a charme for about 3/4 year on me.

For a simpler google home integration;

Is it possible to implement an ON/OFF datapoint? Like: ON: Last state OFF: all Chanels 0

BenjaminHae commented 3 years ago

Thank you for your feedback! I've implemented a switch: image

I don't think upgrading adds this switch channel to existing devices and I have no idea how to implement an upgrade procedure.
So you probably have to re add all devices.

Please tell me if this is working for you. Then I will move this repo to stable.

Kev0123 commented 3 years ago

Works like a charm. Simply re-adding the device with the same name will generate the switch state. Thank you very much. I dont get why no one uses this adapter. May you publish this to the lib via a moderator like bluefox?

EDIT: Now my virtualpowermeter runs like crazy ;-) could you may set all the levels to 0 if switch state is false and implement another state like "memory" e.g. with the HEX to enable the same switch on and off behaviour like now? Understandable what I mean?

How does virtualpowermeter solve this for other devices that have a dimmer and a switch state? For example this zigbee device has brightness and state: image

Kev0123 commented 3 years ago

🤷 the only thing I know is that the virtual powermeter counts the on time per state with the provided wattage. If the brightness is only one channel it will calculate regarding the percentage you run.

I could let it run an etimate wattage only on the switch state but this wouldn't be exact at all.

BenjaminHae commented 3 years ago

If you have an LED PAR or something similar my guess is, that dimming the rgb channels has only marginal effect on the power consumption of the device.

Kev0123 commented 3 years ago

On my setup e.g. each channel has 62,32 Watt wich would make a bigger difference 😉 (2*6,7m = 804 LED's 192,96W total)

BenjaminHae commented 3 years ago

It seems to me that this is an issue that should rather be solved in virtual powermeter.

I'll give it a shot! Thanks
