Dimmer control enhancement request #10

Closed acorso1069 closed 7 years ago

acorso1069 commented 8 years ago

I installed v2.2 today but havent actually gotten it to work yet, it's not turning anything on/off and its now 1 hour after sunset. I did use the original DEM some time ago and it did work for me.

Still I would like to request the ability to control the dimmer level for devices that are dimmers. Just one variable to control the level of dimming for all the dimmer devices would do it for me (all dimmer devices would have the same dimmer level). I usually use 25% for all my vacation mode devices.

Thanks and keep up the good work!!

Known bug in 2.2 you may be running into: there's an initialization problem at plugin install time that leaves the "LightsOutTime" variable nil. You may be running into that. Go into configuration and change the lights out time to anything other than the default 23:59. After that, you can set it back to 23:59 if that's what you want. The act of changing it rewrites the variable and makes up for the broken default. It should be good after that. You may need to disable and re-enable, too, or it will sleep until sunset tomorrow.

V2.3 was submitted over the weekend and is pending approval by MCV. That fixes the initialization problem, among some other things.

Thanks for opening the dimming request.

Wow, thanks for the lightning quick response!! I did change the time earlier and nothing, also disabled/re-enable and nothing. Now I just did a reboot and I have one device that turned on so I'm on my way!

Second the enhancement request for dimmer control - used DEM2.3 while away over the holidays and all was good but the main floor light is on a dimmer and it seems DEM puts it on 100% when on. Previously used a timed scene which always turned it on to the last dimmer setting, whatever that would be (Leviton DZMX1). Thanks.
