The module should be able to manage the following bulb properties :

Hi, what do you mean with "Name" ?

pebou commented 5 years ago

The name you give to the device like desk lamp, roof light. It's not a properties stored in the bulb, but on gladys-side. And it seems it's already managed :)

Ok, that's what I supposed ;) Second point, I would like to check the RGB color point, but I feel suspicious about the HSL point... as Gladys only manage int values, the color is defined with an Integer, which is modified in a hex RGB (for BLE communication). Can you explain me why/what is the HSL ? How do you plan to use it ?

pebou commented 5 years ago

HSL stands for Hue Saturation Lightness =(Brightness). In my opinion, it is much easier for the user to change the Hue and Saturation of its lights instead of juggling with R, G and B values.

Hi, another question, what do you mean with "Reachable (a light can be off, but still reachable)" ? Today, you can set the color of the switched off light, this will swith it on in the selected color (for Mesh only). I'm not sure to well understand.

Hi, I mean that a light is reachable if it is detected by Gladys. So the light is at Bluetooth range and electrically powered on. In that case, the light can be off, but electrically on. It is the same case as your post on the Gladys forum about disabling a control if it is not reachable by the system.
