Light node send wrong values when in json output mode

[Dark-Noir]

Hey,

i use the "Light" node in the json output mode, everything seems to work fine. But when i sent a msg.payload with true or false the brightness value are increasing.

Example: On with 1% Turn off, value is now 4% Turn on again, value is now 12% Turn off again, value is now 32% etc..

After some turn off and on's the value can go far beyond 100%:

Also the ct values jumps to a wrong value around ~400-500 when the correct ct value are ~5300:

Issue not occur when using the node with splitted outputs.

Hi, sorry for the late reply, was really busy. I cannot reproduce your issue here, I need more info. What type of light do you have? bulb, rgb led, etc.. Please also post a screenshot of the node configuration

Hey, thanks for the reply, here are the screenshot.

You see i use two nodes for the same lamp, with the only difference that the upper one has a json output:

Maybe this issue has something to do with my node-red version, i am still on v1.2.9, but had no time to update it yet 😅

I don't think the issue is the node-red version, but still cannot reproduce, neither with 2 nodes as you used. Maybe I'm wrong, but I suspect the issue is not in the Tasmota node but instead somewhere else in your flow. Are you able to reproduce the issue in a clean flow with only the tasmota nodes?

Ah i found the issue when i delete the "Percentage to 0-255 Brightness" node: which is directly behind the output of your node and connect it straight to "Kelvin to CT" node, the brightness issue is fixed, but ct is still wrong, i also have to delete the "Kelvin to CT" node: only then your node works fine. Unfortunately i need these two nodes to convert the output of your node for Alexa (node-red-contrib-amazon-echo), maybe i could use the function for it, but my java script skills are not the best 😅

[DaveMDS]

The the issue is not in the tasmota node but in your flow, I suspect you are creating some sort of loop and I think your Kelvin to CT conversion is not right. I'm closing this, feel free to reopen if you find that the error is in my nodes.

I can reproduce it with it, just enter your tasmota device/mqtt broker.

[DaveMDS]

oh gosh... yes, I can reproduce the issue now.. but is sooo WEIRED... seems the scale node is doing something nasty I will check better tomorrow

[DaveMDS]

This should be fixed now, can you please test the new 0.9.12 release and confirm that it works for you?

[Dark-Noir]

Yeah i already tested it and it works fine in my flow, thank you 👍

[DaveMDS]

Great :)
