How to dim Bedside lamp with Xiaomi button?

jojoro · April 14, 2018, 6:01pm

I am trying to set the brightness change of the xiaomi lamp with the wireless button.
I want to set continuously brightness change from actual state to max then jump to minimal brightness (if maximum is achieved) and so on…
Xiaomi button have “hold” state and “long_click_release” which can be used for this - “hold” trigger continuously change brightness and “long_click_release” stops.

Anyone can help me with this? Language syntax and scripting of HA is a little magic for me now. There is no documentation and support in my native language, either (Polish)

Already i have this code in automation.yaml

alias: Inc/Dec brightness of the gateway light
trigger:
platform: event
event_type: click
event_data:
entity_id: binary_sensor.switch_158d0001dc44c4
click_type: hold
platform: event
event_type: click
event_data:
entity_id: binary_sensor.switch_158d0001dc4519
click_type: hold
action:
service: light.turn_on
entity_id: light.yeelight_bedside_7811dc90cd74
data_template:
transition: ‘1’
brightness: >
{% set n = states.light.yeelight_bedside_7811dc90cd74.attributes.brightness + 25 %}
{% if n > 255 %}
10
{% else %}
{{ n | int }}
{% endif %}

Works fine but brightness changes only one step at the time.

Hi,

You need to create:

-script with brightness control which calls itself during the time the button is being pressed.
-input_boolean to control wether to increase or decrease brightness

You can find more information and details in this forum post.

I’ve read whole thread about this, but it is very complicated to understand for me.

I’ve created some configuration:
(automations.yaml)

- alias: Zmiana jasnosci lampki
  id: '12345677'
  trigger:
  - platform: event
    event_type: click
    event_data:
      entity_id: binary_sensor.switch_158d0001dc44c4
      click_type: long_click_press
  - platform: event
    event_type: click
    event_data:
      entity_id: binary_sensor.switch_158d0001dc4519
      click_type: long_click_press
  action:
   - service: script.turn_on
     entity_id: script.zmien_jasnosc
    
- alias: Zmiana jasnosci lampki off
  id: '12345678'
  trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.switch_158d0001dc44c4
    to: 'off'
  - platform: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.switch_158d0001dc4519
    to: 'off'
  action:
   - service: script.turn_off
     entity_id: script.zmien_jasnosc

Scripts.yaml

zmien_jasnosc:
    sequence:
    - condition: state
      entity_id: light.yeelight_bedside_7811dc90cd74
      state: 'on'
    - service: light.turn_on
      entity_id: light.yeelight_bedside_7811dc90cd74
      data_template:
       transition: '1'
       brightness: >-
        {% set n = states.light.yeelight_bedside_7811dc90cd74.attributes.brightness + 25 %}
        {% if n > 255 %}
          10
        {% else %}
         {{ n | int }}
        {% endif %}
    - service: script.turn_off
      entity_id: script.zmien_jasnosc
    - service: script.turn_on
      entity_id: script.zmien_jasnosc

Unfortunately it didn’t worked.

To keep things simple, I suggest that you try with following data _template inside your scripts:

Brighten :
brightness: '{{states.light.yeelight_bedside_7811dc90cd74.attributes.brightness + 10}

Dim:
brightness: '{{states.light.yeelight_bedside_7811dc90cd74.attributes.brightness - 10}}
and use a 2nd script to dim the light.

In total, I use 2 scripts , 4 automations and 1 input_boolean to dim/brighten 1 or more lights.

You can also apply this set of scripts/automations to rise or lower the Volume of a TV (with a Broadlink IR Emitter for example) with the Xiaomi Switches.

Above lines in my script was unnecessary.
Unfortunately with my script or yours scripts I’ve got “Qoute Exceed, flood protection” from bedside lamp in my logs And lamp stops responding. Then I added delay 00:01 at the end of script.
Now dimming ligth works like a charm but a little slow. Is it possible to delay 0.3 s instead of 1 s?
Frankly speaking creating recurrention in HA is really unfriendly.

hiscorebob · April 23, 2018, 7:23am

Yes, 0.3s delay is possible :

- delay:
    # supports milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours, days
    milliseconds: 300

jojoro · April 23, 2018, 7:59am

Thank you. Now its perfect

For those interested I’ve created a version that works with the Zigbee2MQTT version using the Xiaomi round button, using the above.

For anyone interested in here. I have created an AppDaemon app to overcome this issue. You can easily configure a controller with a light or media player (through zigbee2mqtt, deconz and zha) and have all the needed functionality and more. You can check the documentation in here and the topic in the community forum in here.

If you have any question, you can just ask me
