Group 0 don't receives updates from MQTT

[Xento]

I use alexa to control my milight bulbs. So I exposed the dimmer to alexa to be able to dim the lights.

The problem is, that when I turn the light on and dim them to 50% and turn them off. The next time I turn on the light via alexa they turn n to 50% but openhab says it's at 100%.

The same problem is when the bulbs are on at 50% and I say alexa it should turn on the bulbs. The bulbs do nothing as they are alreadyon but openhab sets the dimmer to 100%.

This is what gets logged when I "turn on" a bulb that is already turned on at 56%. The dimmer item in openhab says its on at 100%.

I recommend u expose the colour channel not a dimmer as that can do more and is well tested.

It's the same problem with the color. When I set color to 50% and then turn color on, than it is at 100% on openhab but the bulbs are only 50% on. I think this is because the feedback isn't working. When I change a bulb over the webinterface of the hub, openhab don't updates the items.

I think it's the same problem as in this post: https://community.openhab.org/t/espmilighthub-new-binding-for-milight-limitlessled-and-easybulb/39720/344

[Skinah]

Does this post explain it? https://community.openhab.org/t/espmilighthub-new-binding-for-milight-limitlessled-and-easybulb/39720/288

[Xento]

No.

I just noticed where the bug is ...

I have defined this thing:

Bridge espmilighthub:esp8266Bridge:001 [ADDR="tcp://localhost:1883", MQTT_USERNAME="", MQTT_PASSWORD="", 1TRIGGERS_NIGHT_MODE=true, DELAY_BETWEEN_MQTT=40, POWERFAILS_TO_MINDIM=true, AUTOCTEMP_MAXDIMMED_TEMPERATURE=350, FAVOURITE_WHITE=200, HUB_IP="192.168.158.30"] {
Thing rgbw 0x59270 "Wohnzimmer" Thing rgbw 0x12870 "Büro" }

So I control group 0 (all bulbs from this remote).

Now the following MQTT Message is send back: [ub.handler.EspMilightHubBridgeHandler] - * Recieved the following new Milight state:milight/states/0x5927/rgbw/0 : {"state":"ON","level":56,"hue":61,"bulb_mode":"color"}

As you can see in my first post the channels 0x59271 to 4 receive the update but NOT channel 0x59270. So my item for all bulbs of this remote isn't updated.

It should be fixed with this pr https://github.com/Skinah/EspMilightHub/pull/8
