W on RGBW Strip not working properly

mzeee commented 6 years ago

Hi everyone,

I recently brought this Setup:

https://www.amazon.de/ALED-Wasserdicht-Kaltwei%C3%9F-Fernbedienung-Decorative/dp/B00XC0DBNI/ref=sr_1_8?s=lighting&ie=UTF8&qid=1512470509&sr=1-8&keywords=RGBW+LED+Strip https://www.amazon.de/dp/B00Q7STR4E/ref=pe_3044161_189395811_TE_dp_1

With tmarcus02 bugfix and the configuration set to the following here:

"accessories": [
    {
   "accessory": "MagicHome",
   "name": "Tisch-Front",
   "ip": "192.168.13.48",
   "setup": "RGBWW",
   "purewhite": false,
   }

]

Everything works except for the White LEDs. I also tried the fix for the White-Bulbs from Ortner - it still does not work. I also set the flags combinedwhite and purewhite to true, to see if there is any change - but nothing. Can somebody help me find the error? I'm really new to this stuff here :(

I did try to change the Setup to RGBWv3 and RGBWWv1 - no change, on RGBWWv1 there is nothing changing at all - same counts for all other flux_led.py's except for the one from tmarcus02.

Thank you guys in advance.

Best Regards

Marcel

With the MagicHome App, everything works fine.

I think you just need to change the pure white to true for it to work. I've had some mixed success with using RGBW LED strips but I currently have it working correctly using the following code: `

  "accessory" : "MagicHome",
  "purewhite" : true,
  "name" : "Bed LEDs",
  "ip" : "192.168.0.39",
  "setup" : "RGBWW"`

I'm not an expert though, so apologies if I've missed something obvious in your post.

Hey Stuart,

thank you for your reply. I found out that when I set the colour to full white, the lights switch to the white-led's. The only problem I have is, I cannot mix the the modes.

That’s because there is currently no functionality for the mixing of modes. Not even sure if it’s possible with the Home APP user interface. I could probably code a ‘hacky’ way to implement that feature but it would be at the cost of other functionality.

Would there be a way to create 2 devices in homekit.. 1 for the RGB and an other for White brightness? connected to one controller.

I don't think will work because how the controller works!
