How to dim or change color of a switch? #12

Open hkoren opened 8 years ago

I tried setting level=.... but that just turns off the switch

I only developed for what I have. The code's quite easy to modify, if you want to fork and make a patch to add new features.

Wish I knew the modifications to make.... This seems to indicate some dimmer functionality is available but I can't seem how to indicate that my switch is a dimmer switch https://iotdb.org/iotdb/models/light-dimmer

Switches can be on or off, that's what they do. Can you give more information about your smartthings set, what type of switch it is, etc.. I'm interested in helping, but I can't guess what your setup is.

I'm using a GoControl Z-Wave Plug-in Dimmer Module. Looking through the code and docs it seems like I will need to add capability.switchLevel to the IOTDB.bridge smartapp for this control to be possible.

Yes, that sounds about right. The pattern for adding this to the code is quite simple.
