DIM level not reported

[shaarkys]

Hi,

is it works as desired, if I'm changing DIM via Xiaomi remote control but the DIM level is not updated back to Homey, meaning event event "DIM level changed"is not working - respective is working only when changing DIM in the Homey app itself? I have two lights in the bathroom (Xiaomi and Phillips Xiaomi downlight) and would like to get in sync DiM levels.

Thank you

I cant see anything strange in the code. Do you know how to run the app from the command line? I could create debug version that might tell me more on what is going on.

[shaarkys]

Sure, let me know :-) Thank you

[jghaanstra]

Could you run this from command line with athom app run and let me know the output.

Thank you. Unfortunately I don't see anything / no output, after run, just got "2019-11-08 16:00:22 [log] [XiaomiMiioApp] Initializing Xiaomi Mi Home app ..." and even when turning on the lights, nothing happens / no output, no matter where/how I'm changing brightness. HOWEVER, I have new finding - seems the DIM status is updated ONLY if NO NIGHT mode is triggered. Would that help ?

Now I'm lost, you told me the lights where Xiaomi Philips downlights. The night mode capability is only implemented for Yeelights. What type of lights are we talking about?

If you are talking about Yeelights I can understand there is no output on the console and I would have to start looking into this from scratch and supply you with another version to test. I added debug logging for the Philips downlights. If you are talking about the Philips downlight the only thing I can think of is that you have set the polling frequency to a high number.

Please be specific on what lights you are talking about (for instance with a model number or a product link).

Hi, appologies for that I was not clear. Via Remote control I'm DIMing "homey:app:com.xiaomi-miio — yeelights" (Xiaomi Yeelight Smart Ceiling Light Lamp) and based on reported value I'm DIMing "homey:app:com.xiaomi-miio — philips-bulb" (Philips Downlight) - this works only when the light is not in night mode, as I just realized. However the debug version wasn't providing even any output when I changed the DIM of Philips Downlight. the polling interval is already set to 5.

[jghaanstra]

Could you try the debug branch again and first change the DIM when not in night_mode and then change to night_mode and change the dim again. The console should spit out the raw updates from the light and I hope to see some difference between changing DIM in night_mode or not.

I don't know if I'm doing anything wrong but not matter which of the Yeelight light I change brightness, the console remain empty.

Btw, when looking on the debug branch, for sure I don't have Philips Eyecare, where it seems you enabled debug.

[jghaanstra]

I'm pretty sure I nailed it. Please check it.

Yep, working, thank you so much ! I found another issue, will be reporting another "bug" report (could be works as designed) but better to check.
