Hyperion light doesn't get ON

Configuration
1

Hi all, I’m trying to configure the Hyperion light sitting back on my TV, but I’m getting some troubles.

My main server is an Ubuntu server, running HA, Appdaemon, Homebridge, etc.
The hyperion set up is on a Raspberry, different from my server.

I configured the light, and it appears on my frontend, but when I try to turn it on, nothing happens. The switch just comes back to OFF, and the light doesn’t gets turned ON

Set the logger to DEBUG, this is the part that happens when I press the switch to turn on the light:

Any idea of what is happening here?

Thanks!!

Can you contol Hyperion with the Smartphone App?

3

Yes, the hyperion is controllable via App, and via a script with a command_line switch.

4

If i test this with loglevel DEBUG, i see only one line for on and off.
No idea what’s causing this. Sorry!

I finally discovered what was happening :slight_smile:
Hyperion light has hard-coded priority of 128, and I was using a priority 0 for turning on the Ambilight effect with a script.
Using same priority on my script than the light component did the trick. Now I can use light as normal light and as ambilight.
