RGB Scheme Brightness Control

[Thefueltank]

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

I Have built a ESP8266 WRGBW smart light.. It has a PIR motion Sensor, and also a LDR.

The template is set to {"NAME":"FloodLight","GPIO":[255,255,255,255,46,47,255,255,50,49,9,48,255],"FLAG":1,"BASE":18}

I have the 5 LEDs on PINS

White LED on PWM1i on pin 4 Red LED on PWM2i on Pin 5 Green LED on PWM3i on pin 15 Blue LED on PWM4i on pin 13 White LED on PWM5i on pin 12

PIR to GPIO 14 ADC0 to LDR

I have managed to work out everything & working fine with Tasmota apart from one issue.

The Light acts as a floodlight when dark. Once darkness falls, it sets the RGB to scheme4 & fades as it should through all RGB colours, once movement is detected with the PIR, it turns the RGB scheme off, turns on the White LED for 60 seconds & if movement has stopped, the White LEDs turn off & the RGB Scheme4 Continues.

I set the Brightness of all LEDs with the Faders The white works good as predicted with the sliders at the correct set brightness, but i can't adjust the Brightness of the RGB LEDs, They come on at full brightness, even if sliders are set to 10% when the Scheme is used?

### TO REPRODUCE
_Steps to reproduce the behavior:

If i don't use the fade scheme, the level of brightness can be controlled with the sliders and works ok but i dont get the fading scheme4 what i need

### EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR
_A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen._
When the RGB Scheme is used, it does not set maximum LED brightness to the Slider brightness, All RGB fade to max brightness only?

### SCREENSHOTS
_If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem._
Im flashing the device with a raspberry Pi & using:

Program Version | 8.1.0(tasmota)
-- | --
2019-12-25T12:33:25
2_6_1/2.2.2-dev(38a443e)

### ADDITIONAL CONTEXT
I have found similar issues while spending days going through code to see if i can rectify this
I need the Scheme to fade to the maximum the slider is set to rather than just full hammer brightness.

Once the ESP has been programmed, i set the scheme4 on, then set the rules, once the motion detection time has expired, it goes back to Scheme 4& works well apart from the RGB scheme brightness?

Hi,

There were several changes from 8.1.0 to 8.2.0.3 ( more than 600 ).

Please, update and try again. This issue may be already solved. Thanks.

You seem to have set wrong GPIOs. The pwm order is RGBCW, not WRGBW

[Thefueltank]

I will try the updated 8.2.0.3 over the weekend & try to see if works ascillato ... Thank you

s-hadinger, Yes i understand this and changed in option37 SetOption68 1 #use SetOption68 1 to control each PWM individually with sliders in webUI SetOption37 114, WWRGB, LEDs work fine on the right colours

Hopefully i will get chance to update and go over & check changes & let you know how i get on over the weekend.. Many Thanks

Scheme 4 and SetOption68 1 both enabled is not supported. The behavior is undefined.

Hi, I updated to version 8.2.0, no change in slider/scheme brightness change..

I also corrected slider to pin configuration ..

It still doesn't make any change in scheme brightness but will still do the job as planned.

can i add my own upython to create my own UI & still use the Tasmota AP

Many thanks for your help & quick responses Dean

Ok, Controlling the maximum brightness of SCHEME 4 effect is not implemented. So this issue changes to a feature request. If you want to code it, please provide a PR. Thanks.

[Thefueltank]

How difficult will it be to implement? I'm still learning & nowhere near as advanced as you guys!

[s-hadinger]

Let me take a look
