ALTHue : Feature Requests

akbooer · April 7, 2018, 7:15am

In the latest openLuup development release v18.4.7, I’ve managed to sandbox the string library between separate devices, so this potential issue with other plugins should not happen, and there’s no need to modify their code.

I still believe, however, that it is bad practice to modify system libraries.

Hi
Does Althue plugin support IKEA Tradfri led lamps?

If Philips hue bridge does I do not see why not (, but it as to be tested )

cybrmage · April 8, 2018, 7:55pm

I have tested Ikea bulbs connected to a Hue bridge, and ALTHue does support them.

Hi,
Tested 2 IKEA LED lamps and they are visable in AltHUE information tab.
Althue finds the hue hub and there was no problems to pair but unfortenately i am receiving Can’t Detect Device message from Althue plugin.

Althue version: 0.7

1- enable debug mode on althue
2- reload luup
3- play with the lamp if possible
4- share the log

Hi,
Thanks for support!!

Installed via the link provided as method 1; Install from MCV store.
After setting the IP adress, i am getting luup engine is taking longer to reload. Try again.
Pairing the hue bridge and get OK.
Lamp information for both Hue and IKEA is available under tab: Hue devices.
AltHue reporting: Can’t Detect Device

Anything in the logfile i should check for?

I suggested using the version on github . Github/amg0/althue
Regarding the log , I do not know what to search for, so wanted to have a general look myself in the debug mode log file

Hi,
First of all, many thanks for your kind support!
Have tried the version on Github without success. Same story, the plugin detects the hue hub but get the Can’t Detect Device message.
Tried the Hue2 plugin from store. Not working.
Today i wiped the Vera and started from 0. Installed the althue plugin but get the same message. Cant detect the device.

Thank you !
Downloaded all files from Github and installed. Entered IP adress and saved. Reload Luua. Unfortenately, I can not pair to the hue HUB.
Message: The operation did not succeed

amg0 · April 13, 2018, 6:26pm

Ok then please follow the steps 1 to 4 so we see what happens
How exactly did you try to pair ?

cybrmage · April 13, 2018, 10:05pm

@amg0: With version 0.9, I am seeing the pluging crash when setAttrIfChanged is called… Specifically, it is being passed the modelid for an Ecosmart bulb, and the value is nil causing the string.format function in the debug statement to error out…
