Attribute Controller in Indigo Causing Brightness Changes

[SearchCz]

I understood the attribute controller was for changing the color of a Hue color/ambiance bulb. But in my case it is ASLO causing changes to the brightness of the bulb, either raising it to 100% or dropping it to 0% unexpectedly.

Switch on debug „actions“Then change the light Then send me Indigo dir ..  /logs/ hue / plugin.log. The part of the action. The path is a little different, but I guess you will figure it out. Sending from my phone KarlOn 09.08.2023, at 17:16, SearchCz @.***> wrote: I appreciate your odder to look into this, but I don’t understand what you are asking me to send you.

OK. Here's the log file as requested. The device names in question are "Desk Left" and "Desk Left Color". plugin.log

[kw123]

it looks like from the log:

2023-08-09 16:37:27 Starting actionControlDimmerRelay for device Desk Left Color. action: actionValue : 31 configured : True delayAmount : 900 description : brighten device to 31% deviceAction : SetBrightness <<======= deviceId : 1793670184

it does not set color just brightness

What action did you do. please be specific and send screen shots

I am changing the brightness on the Hue Device Attribute Controller, not on the Hue Device. I understood that brightness on the Attribute Controller would change the defined attribute (hue), not the actual brightness. Is this not the case?

If my bulb is at 50% or less when I move the slider on the attribute controller, the bulb drops to 0%.

If my bulb is at 51% or higher, it jumps to 100% when I move the sloder on the attribute controller.

please dow load new version .49 from indigo

then set debug to off in config

in device (that the attribute device controls) set debug to on (at bottom)

then only action and changes to that device (incl attribute device) will be logged.

then do your testing and send me the log.

Updated the plugin. Ran the test. Here's the log. Looks like the attribute controller might not be capturing the brightness before changing the attributes, then mistakenly including a brightness of 0 or 100 (rather than the original brightness) in the instruction to change the hue? Thanks again for checking into this! DeskLeft.txt

[kw123]

it seems it is an integer thing

int(round(brightnessLevel * 255.0 / 100.0)) good

vs

int(round(brightnessLevel / 100.0 * 255.0) bad

I will have to go all the code and fix this ..
