Thank you admin

I think you use an older version of the user.hue

Can you check if your function getHueLights() matches the one below? Especially for return table.concat(response)

Code:

function getHueLights()
  local response = {}
  body_searchHueLights= ''
  socket.http.request({
  url = "http://"..ip_add.."/api/"..user.."/lights",
  method = 'GET',
    sink = ltn12.sink.table(response),
  headers = {
      ['content-length'] = #body_searchHueLights,
      ['content-type'] = 'application/json',
  },
      source = ltn12.source.string(body_searchHueLights),
  })
  return table.concat(response)
end

Hmm strage behavior,

now it works without any error. User.hue function is the same. I user your V3.

The last time this Error appeared was yesterday 22:30, i did not change anything.

What i notice is when i add a new light ist takes some time to recorgnize till states would written on objects. Is there something like a timeouot or value check before writing to objects ?

Anyway thank you admin and Erwin for your Work

[Ravi Kiran S]

Ok, got it working now!

Thx for the help

Can u pls tell me How run the Bridge setup ()  and how to control hue lights with LM

[Karaffe]

Hello
The control of Philips Hue lamps via the fabrscript is working.
But how can I control tunable white lamp or how is the script to do this for a single lamp
So that I can change the color temperature.
Could someone help me with this I would need the script for this (hue commands)

[Firechief]

@ Erwin,

I've installed a few (13) new Hue lamps and i'm trying to discover their lampnumbers via the discover script. I get a return in the log, but not all lamps are there. Any idea?

As you can see there are ... but even that lamp is not complete.

Each log entry is limited to 8KB. You can decode the JSON string and log each entry separately:

Code:

data = require('json').decode(response)
for key, value in pairs(data) do
  log(key, value)
end

Do i add this to the current hue discovery script?

Kind regards.

[admin]

Yes, instead of logging the JSON string response from getHueLights() use the above code. Replace response variable with the variable name that getHueLights() returns.

[Firechief]

Admin,

I'm sorry, but as stated in my signature i am a novice at this.

So i've made a new "test" script and pasted the code in there, but nothing shows up.
I do get an error in the error log:

Code:

Hue Discovery Test 28.03.2023 11:22:58
Resident script:2: bad argument #1 to 'decode' (string expected, got nil)
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'decode'

 So cleary i'm doing something wrong but i have no clue.  

[admin]

Post your full script

[Firechief]

Code:

require('user.hue')
data = require('json').decode(response)
for key, value in pairs(data) do
  log(key, value)
end

[admin]

Try this:

Code:

require('user.hue')
response = getHueLights()
data = require('json').decode(response)
for key, value in pairs(data) do
  log(key, value)
end

[Firechief]

This works! Thx a lot!

---

Admin,

This seems to log only 10 out of my 19 lamps...

---

Admin,

Disregard my remark, it seems only 10 are shown in the log at the script itself. In the SE general log they are all there.

[NKereshki]

Helo, 

Can you help me with the script to control the RGB color of a group in Philips Hue. I followed your recommendations for on/off, brightness and color temperature and everything works very well. But I can't handle the RGB of a group. I am using user.hue v5

Thank you in advance!

Best regards,
Nayden

[Erwin van der Zwart]

Are you using setRGBGroup(Group_num,RGB_variable)?

[NKereshki]

Are you using setRGBGroup(Group_num,RGB_variable)?

Hello,

I haven't tried that. In the forum I can't find an example script using the setRGBGroup(Group_num,RGB_variable). I'm an electrical engineer and now styding lua scripting. I used the RGB commands in the HUE for one lamp and everything works perfectly. But for a group I can't set it up. 

Best regards,

Nayden Kereshki

[Erwin van der Zwart]

Code:

--Control HUE group from RGB object (color) (use as event based script)
require('user.hue')
value = event.getvalue()
group_id = 1
if value == 0 then
  body_msg = '{"on":false}'
  sendToGroup(lamp_id,body_msg)
else
  setRGBGroup(group_id,value)
end

[NKereshki]

Code:

--Control HUE group from RGB object (color) (use as event based script)
require('user.hue')
value = event.getvalue()
group_id = 1
if value == 0 then
  body_msg = '{"on":false}'
  sendToGroup(lamp_id,body_msg)
else
  setRGBGroup(group_id,value)
end

Hello, Erwin

Thank you very much for the help. It works exactly as I expected. I don't know what we would do without your support.

Best regards,
Nayden Kereshki

[Sral1987]

Hi,

You have 2 mistakes in your script:

Code:

response = sendToGroup(group_id,body_msg)

should be

response = sendToGroup(Group_id,body_msg)

and

response = sendToGroup(Group_num,body_msg)

should be

response = sendToGroup(Group_id,body_msg)

I just tested with my latest user lib and this command and works perfect

Code:

require('user.hue')
require('json')
--log(json.pdecode(getHueGroups())) -- enable to check group number

--setBrightnessGroup(1,100) -- Group, brightness in %
setBrightnessCTGroup(1,60,2000) -- Group, brightness in %, CT in Kelvin

BR,

Erwin

Hi Erwin,

finaly i found time to Solve Group Control, unfortunanly i cant control Groups by Group Adress cause the Brightness Value is the Script by 100%. How could i change that ?

NVM!!! Sometimes the Solutuoion is just to easy ( shame on me )

of course it has to be like this

require('user.hue')
require('json')
--log(json.pdecode(getHueGroups())) -- enable to check group number
