What is telling you about side 0. On Z2m there is no side 0.
1 thru 6.

Jim_my · July 14, 2023, 8:54pm

Could you tell us what you did? Because I am facing the same issue right now

Sir_Goodenough · July 14, 2023, 9:43pm

We went thru an extensive troubleshooting sequence that you should read all of if you have the same problem. Otherwise ask an actual question and I will help.

Jim_my · July 14, 2023, 9:54pm

I did read it all of course. He said he found the issue in his last step but didn’t say what he did.

Thanks for answering Sir_Goodenough, appreciate it. I added both the main automation and the dimmer script, but so far no success in making it work. I tried another simple action, which works. This is where I am at:

The names for the script and the light should be correct (I used the auto suggestion after you type light./script.) And yes, the cube is in scene mode. I also tried value_json.action_angle and value_json.angle, although I know it is value_json.action_angle.

I think there is a problem with how the script is added? Im not sure, to be honest I don’t really get it. Is it not possible to edit the scripts?

Sir_Goodenough · July 15, 2023, 3:44am

If you want to edit the scripts, they need to be added in the file scripts.yaml and the ui will see them.

Jim_my · July 15, 2023, 1:22pm

I don’t really want to edit it at all
I just thought it’s not working because it’s not added right.
This is what it’s supposed to look like, correct?

Sir_Goodenough · July 15, 2023, 4:01pm

Yes, that’s the blueprint, no need to edit the blueprint part.
Not sure what your goal is here.
What are you trying to accomplish, or what are you not able to get working.
I was trying to guide you on getting the dimmer control scripts running that I suggest you to use and you saying you don’t know what a script is.
Perhaps a bit more reading would help you understand this is a script program stub that is being called by the blueprint and that is what you are editing. If this editing stuff is not your expertise, perhaps this is not something you can do.

Jim_my · July 15, 2023, 6:02pm

I never said that I don’t know what a script is.

I am trying to get the dimmer control working, that is all. When I turn the cube clockwise with side 1 up,
which is the setting you can see in my first screenshot, it does not work, and I do not know why.
I asked about the script because I was not sure if it should look like that, because outside of home assistant, a script usually looks different to me.

Sir_Goodenough · July 15, 2023, 6:05pm

Since I cannot see youe whole system, and it is not clear to be what the issue is, I don’t know how to help you.

Jim_my · July 15, 2023, 6:28pm

I imported the automation
I imported the script
I edited the automation to call the script for CW rotation on side 1 up (and CCW)

This is an error I am seeing:

(Hundreds of possible actions!!) Works with MQTT Directly bypassing both Legacy and non-Legacy trigger issues. This Blueprint uses a Zigbee2MQTT built sensor to sort out the 58+ unique commands (118+ total) available from the Xiaomi Magic Cube Remote. (Some unique commands listed as + are not counted & available thru templating only. See the related document.)

## 📑 Changelog

* **2022-03-01-A**: Beef-up the note not to use spaces and non alpha in MQTT topics.
* **2023-03-01**: Add Author Tag. Bump HA required Version to 2023-3-0
* **2023-01-26-1**: Add in the forgotten Scene Mode Hold function
* **2023-01-26**: 🎉 First Release. Based on Zigbee2MQTT-Xiaomi_Cube_Controller_MQTT_Triggered Blueprint
<base target="_blank">


## 🔧 * Hardware Versions

**NOTE:** This blueprint is for the PRO cube version ONLY and is not fully compatible
with the original version of the cube.
Links for those are in my [GIT repository](https://github.com/SirGoodenough/HA_Blueprints).

This cube has an ''Action'' mode (Shown below with this graphic: 🫳 ACTION MODE ONLY 🫳 )

and a ''Scene'' mode (Shown below with this graphic: 👀 SCENE MODE ONLY 👀 ).

Click on that and that text should help guide you which to use. Look in the device page for this cube and see what yours uses for the angle indicator. You can also look in traces to see what your entity is called.

If this still gives you trouble, I have set up script blueprints to help with this function, look in the documentation to find them. They may work better for you.

blueprint:
  name: dimmer_control_4_magic_cube_and_other_things - 2023-04-23
  author: SirGoodenough
  domain: script
  homeassistant:
    min_version: 2023.3.0
  source_url: https://github.com/SirGoodenough/HA_Blueprints/blob/master/Scripts/dimmer_control_4_magic_cube.yaml
  description: >
    This script was invented to be used with my Magic Cube Blueprints. I released
    it as a standalone Script Blueprint because I saw others struggling with how
    so convert cube rotation to light dimming in other places.


    To use this blueprint, install it from the source in the normal way.
    After that add your unique name for the Script, and add an icon and change
    the entity_id if desired.
    You should only need to run the blueprint once, as you will be calling the
    unique name/entity you added above to use the code.
    This script has no inputs in the Blueprint screen because all the data is
    added to control the action live at each use.

Thanks. I checked that 2 days ago when I wrote it here:

That’s why I asked what hamoodaslam did, because he just wrote “Please ignore - got it to work finally”.

I imported it like that from the beginning…

Sir_Goodenough · July 16, 2023, 4:21pm

This is not that difficult. I hear frustration, but there is only so much I can do.
Did you build the template sensor so that you know what state the BP thinks the cube is in to help you. It is possible that it is working and the cube is not acting like you think it should act.

This has worked for a lot of people, you just need to do some testing to see what entity you have based on your setup beyond my control.
When you do actually get there, let me know as there might be something that can be clarified in the docs, but at this point, I have provided all the info and we are repeating ourselves.

Jim_my · July 17, 2023, 6:54pm

Oh I’m not frustrated, all is good. I will do some more testing and get back to this page if I have a solution.

edit:
Solution:

Wrong:

service: script.dimmer_control
data:
angle: “{{ trigger.value_json.action_angle | float(0.0)}}”
light: light.0x0017880108d9e1d7

Right:

service: script.dimmer_control
data:
angle: “{{ trigger.payload_json.action_angle | float(0.0)}}”
light: light.0x0017880108d9e1d7

Thanks for all the help, it seems to work fine so far!

I gave you that link a couple of days ago…

Jim_my · July 18, 2023, 5:40pm

And I had that wrong in my very first screenshot…

Sir_Goodenough · August 12, 2023, 8:28am

THERE IS A NEW UPDATE:

AceBoogie23 · August 18, 2023, 6:54pm

Can anyone, someone PLEASEEE help me figure this thing out lol I am a rookie at this. But seriously I have a little UFC party tomorrow and thought this would be cool but I can’t get it to do anything. Trying to just simply increase and decrease my volume on either my Frame TV or the Denon, would prefer the Denon but really just need this to work! Any help is appreciated!

This is the automation I have…

data:
  angle: "{{ trigger.payload_json.action_angle | default(0.1) | float(0.2) }}"
  mp: media_player.denon_avr_x1200w

This is the script that I just imported…

alias: Volume Control
use_blueprint:
  path: SirGoodenough/volume_control_4_magic_cube.yaml
icon: mdi:knob

Sir_Goodenough · August 18, 2023, 8:18pm

So you imported the script BP. Did you run that and create a script you can call?

Not giving me much to go on here…

Did you read this?

SirGoodenough/HA_Blueprints/blob/5151db67232027368fe2bbe0831d8ae89d8d299b/Samples/ZHA_Cube_Volume_Control_Stub_Actions_and_Script_SAMPLE.yaml

# This is an action statement that you can use in your Blueprint Automation 
#  to call a script (below) to change volume on a media player when rotating the cube.
#
# In the blueprint automation:
#   https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/automations/


  scene_rotate_cw_face_3:
    - service: script.aaaaaaaaabbbbbtestvolume
      data:
        angle: '{{ trigger.payload_json.action_angle | default(0.1) | float(0.2) }}'
        mp: media_player.farg
  scene_rotate_ccw_face_3:
    - service: script.aaaaaaaaabbbbbtestvolume
      data:
        angle: '{{ trigger.payload_json.action_angle | default(0.1) | float(0.2) }}'
        mp: media_player.farg

# Then this is the script that's called to do the heavy lifting.
#  It works for both CW and CCW cube rotations.
