Support the new Switcher Light devices

[gavrie]

I have installed a new Switcher Light SL02 device, and get the following message in a loop:

[5/9/2023, 3:59:26 PM] [Switcher Platform] Found New Switcher "Switcher Light_1135" | ID:f636c8 | IP: 192.168.68.66 | Model: UNKNOWN_0F05

Since lights are already supported as part of the Runner device, I guess this is just a matter of updating the list of supported devices?

[gavrie]

I tried to add it manually to the config as a switch, like this:

{
  "identifier": "Switcher Light_1135",
  "accessoryType": "switch"
}

But that fails because the device doesn't return a default_shutdown_seconds unlike other devices:

[5/9/2023, 4:31:20 PM] [Switcher Platform] Switcher "Switcher Light_1135" (f636c8) is Connected!

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge-switcher-platform/accessories/extras.js:9
                        this.accessory.context.duration = this.duration = this.state.default_shutdown_seconds
                                                                ^
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'default_shutdown_seconds')

It looks like the communication protocol is different for these devices:

@nitaybz do you currently have any plans to support these devices? I thought of working on this myself if not.

[nitaybz]

@gavrie please check the recent version... I've added support but I don't have the device to test it

[gavrie]

Thanks @nitaybz! I just tested this, and it crashes:

Latest version is not crashing but apparently I need to add this to the devices that are controlled with the token... will happen later today

[nitaybz]

try the latest

[gavrie]

@nitaybz Almost there... 😄 The status of the lights now shows correctly in Homebridge, but turning on/off does not work -- the commands are ignored.

BTW I did set the token in the config, and it works correctly with my S11 device.

[nitaybz]

will work now, try with the latest

[gavrie]

Woohoo, you did it! 🎉 Works perfectly now with v4.4.4. Thanks a lot @nitaybz!

[gavrie]

Oh, one last small thing: The lights show in Apple Home as switches and not as lights. It's not a problem since I can easily change the device type in the Home app, but it might be nice to have them show up as lights by default.

[nitaybz]

I rather save the flexibility as having this as switch so it can be changed to fan if needed or any other "Switch" which is not necessarily lights like toilet venta
