ISY 994i PRO running 4.5.4
Home Assistant 0.33.4 running on a Pi with lroguet/rpi-home-assistant docker image.
I have many fans using FanLincs. This is more of configuration question, but, in order to get the ability to set the speed of the fan, which device should I set up? The FanLinc motor node? When I add that “fan.living_room_fan” in a group, I don’t have any speed options and when I turn it on, it just flips back off.
Also, lights seem to only turn on to 40%. “light.living_room_lights” is pointing to the FanLinc light node, and “light.stair_lights” is pointing to a switch device and turning them on only gets them to 40%. I can click on the entry and get the card with a brightness slider and turn it up to 100%. Seems strange turning them on is defaulting to 40%.
Just for clarity, I’m pointing to devices and not scenes on the ISY. All the light switches are dimmable switches.
Am I just doing something wrong? I don’t really see how.
I also have the problem of my ISY lights turning on at 40% (i.e., brightness level 100 out of possible 255) when I use HA to toggle a light on. Tagging along and hoping for a solution.
It probably has something to do with the value of 100 being hard-coded in line 67 of
./homeassistant/components/light/isy994.py
Maybe it can be fixed by editing that value to 255? I’m running my instance in a docker with no easy terminal access to the python files, so I’ll hunt around for a way to test this.
Yes, that is it. I too run it in a docker but I was able to jump some hurdles to edit it.
docker exec -t -i {container_id} /bin/bash
cd /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/homeassistant/components/light
I didn’t have nano installed, so I installed it
apt-get update
apt-get install nano
export TERM=xterm (without this, nano wouldn’t run for me)
nano isy994.py
change it, save it, restart HA (not sure if needed) and verified turning on the light in the UI set it to 100%
I doubt I ever have time, but it would be nice to have some options here. I see it always does a fast off. It would cool if this was configurable to either fastoff or just off (same with on) and have the UI provide those options. Also, having it persist the on level. (maybe looking at it’s own history). So then if you just turn it on, it resumes the previous brightness?
I have never done git pull requests and the like. If I have time, and it isn’t fixed by the weekend, I might try to figure out how to submit a PR for this at least.
