ControllerX. Bring full functionality to light and media player controllers

xaviml · December 29, 2019, 7:30pm

As I already mentioned in the issue, the LED1624G9 does not have support for “color_temp” attribute and that is the attribute that is meant to use for the arrows on the E1524/E1810. My solution was to provide a xy_color attribute for the lights that do not have the color_temp attribute, but I don’t currently own a lightbulb with xy_color to test it out. I saw that lorek123 offered to try some code, so once I get back to it I will give you both some code to try out.

I can assure you that the app works with the lightbulb LED1732G11 from IKEA, since it does support color_temp. You can also get any lightbulb with brightness and color_temp support, you can check it out in here.

Hi @swiftlyfalling,

Thanks for the information you gave me long time ago. In came in handy to get rid off the time.sleep and instead use the self.sleep with async features with AD 4.x

fribse · January 18, 2020, 8:59pm

Thankyou, this works really well with my deconz and my ikea remote and WLED light.
Not sure about the color transition yet, can’t find info about the wled integration supports it properly.

xaviml · January 18, 2020, 9:15pm

Do you get an error on the color transition? Does the WLED light supports xy_color attribute?

fribse · January 18, 2020, 9:42pm

Yes I do, and I don’t know, I’m trying to find some info on that

Can you enlighten us @frenck?

MrGinos · January 25, 2020, 8:44am

@fribse maybee a good idea to share your error code here?

Added support for deCONZ in E1743Controller @kalkih

ladaowner · January 29, 2020, 9:15pm

how do I get started.

I have HCAS and AppDeamon installed I loaded controllerX.

Do I need “appdaemon: true” in the standard HA configuration.yaml file
Do I need a apps.yaml if so where does this go under appdeaon/apps/controllerx/ and should it contain

bedroom_speaker:
  module: controllerx
  class: E1744MediaPlayerController
  sensor: sensor.symfonisk_controller_action
  media_player: media_player.bedroom_speaker

Does it support skip and previous track?

xaviml · January 29, 2020, 9:44pm

Do I need “appdaemon: true” in the standard HA configuration.yaml file

Yes, you need to activate appdaemon to HACS configuration. Either through yaml configuration or through GUI.

Do I need a apps.yaml if so where does this go under appdeaon/apps/controllerx/ and should it contain

Yes, when installing AppDaemon and running it for the first time, you will see an apps.yaml in /config/appdaemon/apps/apps.yaml

Does it support skip and previous track?

Yes, it does. 1 click resumes/pauses. 2 clicks skips forward. 3 clicks skips backward. The same as the original implementation with IKEA hub.

You need at least AppDaemon 4.0.0 for this app, from your config it looks like you are still using version 3.x.x.

ladaowner · January 30, 2020, 9:39pm

https://registry.hub.docker.com/r/acockburn/appdaemon/builds?page=1

Is what I loaded, thought it would be version 4?? How do I double check?

Burningstone · January 30, 2020, 9:48pm

Which one exactly? There are quite a few there.

In version 4.0.0 and higher latitude, longitude, time_zone and elevation are mandatory config options in the appdaemon.yaml file.

ladaowner · January 31, 2020, 12:37am
