Brightness and Hue

[Faisalthe01]

Hi, does you plugin fixed brightness and hue for bulbs ?

[bwp91]

Not sure if this basdelfos#52 has anything to do with what you're describing?

[Faisalthe01]

This kind bloke was able to fix brightness and temperature for bulbs plus added cover accessory but a lot of other code has to go into config file to use it.

Version 0.3.1 (#12 specifically) should have a fix in-place for the color/colour issue possibly fixing your problem if basdelfos#52 was indeed the problem you encountered.

If this issue persists feel free to re-open.

I just went out and got a lamp to test this with, there indeed seem to be some issues with brightness and hue.

Yes, Vitramir fork has the fix for brightness and temperature not the hue though. I can also share the code he got me to add in my config file, if you want.

I am running an LED strip through the Tuya app (not Hue) and am getting this error:

[6/21/2020, 9:09:59 AM] [TuyaWebPlatform] Error retrieving devices states TypeError: Cannot read property 'brightness' of undefined

The error repeats itself every 30 seconds. Quite annoying...
Seems like there may still be an issue with brightness. I am running the latest v.0.3.3 version of the plugin.
Thoughts!?

[milo526]

Hello could you please try and see if you can install the pre-release 0.3.4-0 by running npm install homebridge-tuya-web@next and see if that fixes the problem for you?

Please report back if this works for you or not 🙂

After updating to next version (v0.3.4) I am still getting the same:

Could you then please run the discovery as explained here and post the result that you get from that here (no need to open a new issue).

[dikodahan]

Just so we are on the same page.
I also have multiple outlets set up in Tuya app and working flawlessly with your plugin. I just added this LED strip today and it is the only one causing issues. The outlets still work without an issue. The LED strip itself within the Tuya app works without an issue.
Still need me to run the discovery?

[milo526]

Yes please, that will give me some information on the data structure that your LED strips sends and wants to receive. For example I know the brightness can be set on multiple locations and we use some vague techniques to determine which of the locations we need to get the brightness from. It seems like our techniques break with your device. Getting this info will help us improve that detection technique.

[dikodahan]

here you go (the data output part for the LED strip):

'data': {   'color_mode': 'colour', 'online': True, 'state': 'true'   },
    'dev_type': 'light',
    'ha_type': 'light',
    'icon': 'https://images.tuyaus.com/smart/program_category_icon/dj.png',
    'id': 'XXXXXXXXX',
    'name': 'NAME'},

[milo526]

Sadly your light strip does not support brightness through the home assistant API that this library uses (otherwise a brightness key would be present in your data object).
Do you see the LED strip in homekit? If so what controls do you have there?
