Hue Button/Dimmer-Switch with integrated "inverter" option #346

Hi Max,

Thank you very much for the great node-red contribution.

I just started using it and a feature request came to my mind when I tried to use the Hue Button (in my case the Dimmer Switch with the Button node) to control my awning with two different Buttons (up and down). The problem I faced was, that for each button I an only send a true but not a false (unless I switch toggle on, but I want seperate buttons where one only sends true, the other only sends false).

To overcome this I had to use an inverter and another KNX Ultimate node, but what would be great is if inside the Hue Button node (and maybe other nodes) I could just select to invert "internally" the boolean output if required.

Maybe worth to consider in an update.

Best Regards, Uwe KNX-HUE

Hello, node-red-contrib-knx-ultimate@2.4.22 is out. Please try it. Thanks.

Hi Max,

just updated and restarted node-red, but did not find the option to send false instead of true on button press with toggle "unchecked". I also tried the DataPoint "Invert" but still true is sent, not false.

Your documentation within node-red for the node also still says: "Enable or disable toggling values. If enabled, all values toggles, otherwise, all values are sent as true or increase dim, to the selected KNX group address".

Need a hint - what did I miss?

Uwe

Ok, just reloaded the Node-Red UI, it seems there was a browser cache issue, now I see the additional options underneath "toggle" check.box.

Supergiovane commented 7 months ago

Good. You should see this.

cybersmart-eu commented 7 months ago

Exactly, this was (after Update and node-red restart) not visible in my browser before. I had to reload the UI again.

Working as expected, thanks for the quick implementation. Will also check more of your nodes now like TTS together with sonos. Great work.
