How to set a color?

[injecteer]

I have a switchRGBW ligtht bulb and I'm trying to change it's color like so:

Code: Select all

var dev = controller.devices.get( 'ZWayVDev_zway_' + k );
dev.set( 'metrics:color', {"r":11,"g":22,"b":33} );

but it doesn't work. I mean, the "metrics:color" value gets changed, but not bulb's color.

What am I missing?

Hi,

That should work:

Code: Select all

var dev = controller.devices.get( 'ZWayVDev_zway_' + k );
dev.performCommand( 'exact', { red: 11, green: 22, blue: 33 } );

Note that the names of metrics properties are r, g, b but in command you have to name the parameters red, green, blue.

Regards,
Patrick

Thanks, Patrick, your code works perfectly.

There is some inconsistency in the API though (ver. 11.04.2016 v2.2.2).

I tried the performCommand() before:

Code: Select all

dev.performCommand( 'exact', {"r":123,"b":255,"g":41} );

but was scared off with the not-a-number error:

[2016-10-26 13:38:26.379] [core] --- ZWayVDev_zway_9-0-51-rgb performCommand processing: {"0":"exact","1":{"r":123,"b":255,"g":41}}
[2016-10-26 13:38:26.382] [core] Notification: error (module): Error during perform command execution: Error: Element is not a number

The json { red: 11, green: 22, blue: 33 } is not a number, but works fine.
