Hi,

Can somebody provide an example of the format for name_addr_dict on tool.py please to specific my devices? It's not clear to me from the notes in the files.

Thanks

The entries should have the key be the name of the device/scene that you wish to control, and the value should be a list of Bluetooth Addresses corresponding to the device/devices in the scene!

Sorry, I must sound daft, but can you provide an example entry for me please.

I have the following devices defined in constants.py:

devices = { "LoungeTV": "A4:C1:38:92:F4:0D", "Headboard": "D4:AD:FC:0B:04:FB", "Wardrobe": "7C:A6:B0:5C:D5:8B” }

How do I define this within tool.py, what is the exact syntax please?

Thanks, Neil

That looks good to me! I'd recommend just putting all of the addresses into a list. For example, back when I used this I had two LED strips, one that I had on my window, one I had on my bed, and I wanted to be able to control them both with a single command occasionally. So (iirc) my setup looked like

devices = { "window": ["{WINDOW MAC ADDRESS}"], "bed": ["{BED MAC ADDRESS}"], "bedroom": [ "{WINDOW MAC ADDRESS}", "{BED MAC ADDRESS}" ] }

And this definition was the same in tool and constants.py! (again, iirc. the original Pi I had my setup on went kaput, so I no longer have the exact configuration I used unfortunately...)
