Changing the device type did seem to fix it.

Is guess that device was classified incorrectly.

I guess? It worked correctly for literally years, and it IS a Hue Bloom, which is its previous classification that stopped working.

The plugin now only uses huedev type.

Before the device was defined using Hue modelid. That had a manual mapping to Hue types

And for this specific device it was mapped to the wrong dev type.

Now it is a little More consistent. There are just a few Hue dev types compared to > 100 modelids which needs to be maintained for each new device. While the 5 Hue types have not changed for a long time.

brilliant! Got it. And thanks for this great plugin!

I ran into another case where 1.8.7 is not working where 1.7.65 was. I have a trigger that activates on an Insteon brighten operation. The action of this trigger is to issue the "Start Brightening (Hue Lights Controls)" action to brighten some Hue lights in the room. Using version 1.8.7 the lights don't change. I get this error in the Indigo log:

Code: Select all

   Received INSTEON                "Media Room Can Lights (Stairway Switch)" start brighten
   Trigger                         Media Room: Can Lights (Stairway switch) [5] Bright Begin

As always, thanks for supporting this amazing plugin

fixed typo pluginpros (should pluginProps)

https://github.com/IndigoDomotics/Hue-Lights-Indigo-plugin/releases/tag/v1.8.8

should fix that one

Karl

Thank you! 1.8.8 is working great.

Question:

I have a lightbulb that does not show up in lamp devices, neither in rooms nor in the device listing (w hue essentials and std hue iPhone app as well as with plugin report)

But it seems to be part of a group, when i switch on/off that group it follows those commands.

how can i make it visible or delete that bulb?

Karl

Hi Karl.

If you get the raw lights JSON response from the Hue bridge (in the plugin debug logs), does it show up there?

I was able to fix it:
Reset the lamp with a dimmer switch
Then add the lamp back with the serial number.

I'm having an issue with the latest versions... the error messages have been reported before, but I'm still having problems.

A few days ago, I updated the plugin to version 1.8.7 and started getting errors with scene recalls :
Where I would select the Bridge number, I would see this error :

Code: Select all

Failed to Get UI List from Plugin:
InvalidParameterError: plugin does not define method gwListGenerator

And trying to execute the trigger, this would show in the log :

Code: Select all

2022-03-09 22:11:36.919   Hue Lights Error   Error in plugin execution ExecuteAction:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "plugin.py", line 11526, in recallScene
  File "plugin.py", line 9482, in doScene
KeyError: (False,)

I now installed version 1.8.8, and I can now successfully select the correct bridge in the scene recall dialog, but when executing I see this in the error log :

Code: Select all

Error (client)                  performRequestMethod() caught exception: InvalidParameterError -- plugin does not define method hubNumberItemSelected

I have reloaded the plugin, and it seems that my HUE lights are working fine, it's just the scene recall that is giving me issues...is there anything I'm overlooking ?

I have a fix, but need to figure out how to best post it, as Nathans GitHub has been moved to the indigo GitHub.

later this afternoon.

Posted new version:
https://github.com/IndigoDomotics/Hue-Lights-Indigo-plugin/releases/tag/v1.8.9
this is not yet on the indigo server, so please download from here

v1.8.9

Code: Select all

* Fixed a bug  eorror: "plugin does not define method hubNumberItemSelected"
* added several states to devices to show eg Hubnumber modelID, type etc in state list
* made debugging a litle more specific, ie you can select which area should be debugged, read or write from to hub, updating devices, init etc . so that debuging does not too big.
  the detailed logging is done in /Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 2021.2/Logs/com.nathansheldon.indigoplugin.HueLights
* added menu item to create ALL hue light devcies. by reading from the hue bridges and creating corresponding indigo devices if they do not exist yet
  the names will be Hue_light_bridge#_lightID#_nameOnBridge.
   you can set the folder where they are created in config , default is Hue New Devices.
* removed old version checking, now follows std indigo version checking

Hi Karl,

I think this version (1.8.9) made things worse... my log window is now turning red with these messages, even reloading the plugin doesn't seem to work :

I've now gone back to the latest 1.7 release, I don't have multiple bridges and everything was working fine on this version, so I'm ok...
