RGB Support

[ghost]

Hello,
First I want to say big thank you for this great plugin for pimatic which I have used for several months with my esp based boards.
I want to ask you when do you plan to add rgb support? Nowadays I use buttons with predefined colors, but it will be great to add support for rgb, rgbw and rgbww strips. Something like this:

or this:

Thank you

Thank you for your answer.

Hey David,
still waiting for the inclusion of RGB device to Pimatic.
If it will not be soon (in the spring). I have ready the first variant of your proposal.

Hello,

Thank you for your answer. It will be great when RGB device will be included into Pimatic. I looked into another plugin for pimatic, that has already rgb support, which is available at: https://github.com/philip1986/pimatic-led-light . As I looked into code, it looks like, that author made his own implementation of rgb support. I hope, that this could help, if pimatic does not include native support of rgb.

Thank you.

Hey guys, any updates on this?

I'm done with a clone ready dummy led device, but I do not like the design of this element. :)
I'm doing this by pimatic-milight-reloaded. It's going to be more time now. But if anyone has experience with pimatic frontend development, I can get help :)

[0xFelix]

You mean the code functionality is there but the design is unfinished? I have no experience with pimatic frontend development but maybe I can still be of help...

There's nothing left to learn. :)

I'm looking at the tradfri plugin now and I understand the code. So maybe I'm inspiring here.
It just does not have an RGB device :) But the tradfri RGB is already being sold, so it will be early. I hope.

I have two devices in my plan to start with. One and three channel devices.
A configurable payload (RGB, HSL, HSV). All values ​​can be used separately.

@davidhrbaty The first sketch in your first post is just a scrrenshot taken from pimatic forum - or is there a real implementation behind it? The second is pimatic-hue-zll as far as I know.

Hey Guys,
i'm looking for an implementation of RGB with MQTT too. I think it is easy to do. We only need the output of 4 values (now there only one).

I build a MQTT RGB LED controller with a ESP8266 (https://github.com/corbanmailloux/esp-mqtt-rgb-led)
and it needs a JSon sting per MQTT like this:

{"state": "ON", "brightness": 120, "color": {"r": 255,"g": 100,"b": 100},"transition": 5}
We need only values for brightness, r, g and b. The other could be hardcoded. I think this is for most controllers the same.

Maybe it helps and we can have this functionallity soon.

Are there news to support RGB LED Lights via MQTT? Would be great that this will implement soon.

[ITTV-tools]

I'm waiting for that feature too. Any news ?

Hello guys, I have moved from pimatic to home assistant, because there is a lot of pros:

• a lot of plugins/components
• easy to operate
• active development
• active forum with a lot of users

and a lot more.

[ITTV-tools]

That means you will not implemet a RGB Device ?

[Wikibear]

Sounds be ...

Hello
It looks like @iMarvinS is working on RGB devices. Unfortunately, I do not have time.
https://github.com/iMarvinS/pimatic-mqtt/tree/6b89136bbc037d618b5d9b9af11d11d7ea0dde67

@davidhrbaty And program rules? No way :)

[iMarvinS]

I´m working on a RGB only and a RGBW device. It will be inspired by pimatic-led-light plugin. For anyone who can´t wait for it give this one this a try. It´s a temporary solution until I´ve implemented everything in pimatic-mqtt.
