Light: last used mode #1155

Closed farmio closed 1 year ago

farmio commented 1 year ago

Maybe we can find a way to store the last used mode of lights supporting white with color temperatures and also colored light. Like a light that can be controlled by HSB and also tunable white DPT 5 or 7 GAs.

A possible way would be to store the latest non-state addresses that received a GroupValueWrite. This could be mapped to a color mode in the HA integration.

We'd need to find out if there is consistent behaviour among different actuator models when they eg. have an internal defined turn-on state. So if only a address DPT 1 is received and it switches its internal mode to something different than what was chosen before there should probably be some writes on state_addresses. In this case we shouldn't only observe non-state addresses.

This would enable us to support multiple modes in a single light entity in HA. Currently 2 independent entitites are needed for such a setup - but that can lead to issues with duplicated unique_ids.
