Fibaro RGBW controller not fully functional

[mvdarend]

Some more information that might be of help.

After rolling back to r500 the Fibaro RGBW problem I had disappeared. Yesterday morning I tried an automatic update from within the HomeGenie interface, but after unpacking the .zip file it didn;t continue (as far as I could see)

So I downloaded the file manually:
http://skylink.dl.sourceforge.net/project/homegenie/_updates/HomeGenie_1_1_beta_r501_503_update.zip

Unpacked it, and copied all the files over my HomeGenie installation. (After stopping the HG service)

After doing the above teh Fibaro RGBW module was still working as expected.

@mvdarend can you send me the fixed Fibaro.RGB program so I can update it in HG?

Here is the version I'm running at the moment, it's still exactly the same as the version in the HomeGenie Plus thread as far as I can see. For me it works in HG and the HG+ App.

I have try that zip file with the last r503 with patches done by Gene (MIG and ZWaveLib)
On/Off and ProgramsSet work. But the ColorWheel with HG UI and HG+ doesn't work anymore than my last tests. Look at the screenshot.
I will try to find that issue.

Hi dani,

that error is due to the FR locale. Do a .Replace(",", ".") on the value before converting the string to a double.

eg:

Code: [Select]

double.Parse(hsbValues[0].Replace(",", "."), CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) * 360;

this should be checked on all double.Parse in the program.

Thank's Gene yes I found that a few minutes ago.
I am in time to test
Adding Note :
But now, the Control.Level to each channel is not send.
That's called in Func bridegeapicall but I don't receive any event in the screen screen for Virtual channels.
If I add that modules in a group, I can address them individually. And colors change.

Sorry, I always forget that...

That sounds like the problem Roger and I have been experiencing. I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the modified App.

Hi Marcel, Gene,

I think I found the issue for me.
If for you that works, I want to know if you deactivate Multi-Instance/Channel Virtual Module.
You can try to activate then for me no ColorWheel work properly.
I think before, the multiinstance level from the node are not reported by ZWaveLib.
Because fibaro RGBW works with Value level between 0 and 99. For example when we set level in HG to 0.49 we send 49 to Fibaro.
If we set the level to 1 at the reel Fibaro master node. Then we receive 4 multiinstance level on each virtual channel with the last value set to that channels with value between 0 and 99. Then I don't know what happend. Because in the logger we don't know in which sens the mesage Satus.Level is ? From or to the node.
Before that 2 Program work together, because I nedd it for Fibaro double switch modules and RGBW at the same time.

Adding Note :
Even when modify MultiInstance program, It work better but not perfect. ColorWheel still not works.
And now I have play too much with my Fibaro RGBW Node, now I get always timeout.

Hi Marcel,

I don't undestand how FibaroRGBW can work for you with HG r503. Fo me Impossible to make ColorWheel works.

[dani]

Hi Gene,

For try to make FibaroRGBW works again. I found the explanation upstairs and :
If I control each channel (From Node.2 to Node.5) by an individual dimmer it's work.
That is the API command generated for set channel green to 50% :
http://192.168.1.2/api/HomeAutomation.ZWave/4.2/Control.Level/50 And that works
Before for that in FibaroRGBW C# I used :

Code: [Select]

var moduleGreen = Modules.InDomain("HomeAutomation.ZWave").WithAddress("4.2").Get();
moduleGreen.Command("Control.Level").Set( "50" ) ;
And That doesn't work anymore.
I spend all the day for find the issue. I think something is changed somewhere in your code.
The module HomeAutomation.ZWave 4.2 exists, because I can control it directly from a reel dimmer in my group.

I don't undestand how FibaroRGBW can work for you with HG r503. Fo me Impossible to make ColorWheel works.

I'm curious about that myself. Could it be because I updated HG just by overwriting all of the files and that I might have only done a partial update?

The automatic update was hanging for me after unpacking files, so I just unzipped the update the contents and copied all of the files into my HG folder.

[dani]

In that case, the dll file of FibaroRGBW is replace by old one if you don't compile it.
But now with r504, Gene update your file in the project. I test it but samedi issue for me. So I found the problem. I must explain Gene.

Hi dani,

not sure if has something to do with this issue with FibaroRGB, but take a look here:

Hi Gene, I found à solution but I am on tablet. I will explain you more longuer tomorrow

Hi Gene,

I found that I have to replace a function like that for the 3 Instances :

Code: [Select]

//  var moduleRed = Modules.InDomain("HomeAutomation.ZWave").WithAddress(lightnumber+".2").Get();
//  moduleRed.Command("Control.Level").Set( ((int)iRed).ToString() ) ;
  parentModule.Command("MultiInstance.Set").Set("Switch.MultiLevel/2/" + ((int)iRed).ToString());

//  var moduleGreen = Modules.InDomain("HomeAutomation.ZWave").WithAddress(lightnumber+".3").Get();
//  moduleGreen.Command("Control.Level").Set( ((int)iGreen).ToString() ) ;
  parentModule.Command("MultiInstance.Set").Set("Switch.MultiLevel/3/" + ((int)iGreen).ToString());

//  var moduleBlue = Modules.InDomain("HomeAutomation.ZWave").WithAddress(lightnumber+".4").Get();
//  moduleBlue.Command("Control.Level").Set( ((int)iBlue).ToString() ) ;
  parentModule.Command("MultiInstance.Set").Set("Switch.MultiLevel/4/" + ((int)iBlue).ToString());

Can you explain why  MultiInstanceNode.Command("Control.Level").Set(Value) doesn't work anymore.?
I have to replace by  ParentModule.Command("MultiInstance.Set").Set("Switch.MultiLevel/Instance/Value")
and like that the colorwheel works again.

Here you can find the hgx file for FibaroRGBW modified.
For me it's work with HG UI and with HG+. Only on HG+ I have some little issue about the widget update. If I set a color the ColrHsb is sent and the color is on but the widget show that the eqipment is OFF. So I have to mask the average set level value introduced by Marcel and send a level set to "1".
That is due to that in HG UI the Widget is a dimmer and not in HG+.
