Feature suggest for LightBulb

[macjl]

Hello José,

I'm playing with HAA on a lightbulb for some days. It's very fun, and I wanted to suggest you some feature I think that could be nice to implement.

• Option to enable/disable Autodimmer on default GPIO, and add actions to start and stop it. It will allow user to choose which GPIO/press type will trigger Autodimmer feature.
  Example of what could be done whith JSON :

"b":[{"g":5,"t":1}],   => Nothing changed. Lightbulb is activated/deactivated with GPIO 5.
"a":0,                => Disable Autodimmer on GPIO 5.
"f4":[{"g":3,"t":2}], => Double press on GPIO 3 will launch AutoDimmer
"f5":[{"g":1,"t":1}]  => Single press on GPIO 1 will stop it.

• Pre-program specific colour/luminosity that can be activated with a GPIO input.
  Example of what could be done whith JSON :

  "f6.100.000.000":[{"g":0,"t":2}],  => For RGB, Double press on GPIO 0 will ativate RED at 100%, GREEN at 0% and BLUE at 0%
  "f6.010.010.010":[{"g":0,"t":3}]   => For RGB, Long Press on GPIO 0 will ativate RED at 10%, GREEN at 10% and BLUE at 10%
  "f7.030.040.010.100":[{"g":0,"t":4}]   => For RGBW, Very Long Press on GPIO 0 will ativate RED at 30%, GREEN at 40%, BLUE at 10% and WHITE at 100%

Instead of fx.xxx.xxx.xxx, It could also be Hexadecimal value of colour, like #ff0000 for 100% red or #808080 for 50% white.

What do you think about these suggests?

Option to enable/disable Autodimmer...

Actually, you can manage autodimmer using a button and a switch. With your concept, autodimmer could not be managed with the same mount-wall switch used to turn on/off lightbulb.

Pre-program specific color/luminosity...

It is possible, but not easy. You can not used "f6.100.000.000" as a label, because label must be a known string (I search the label and I read its value). It is necessary to develop an additional protocol like: "6":"ff00000000" (R G B CW WW), and then "f6":[{"g":0,"t":2}]. I had some ideas to implement it (I call it "custom scenes"), but actually I want to focus on garage door and window covers before adding new features like this. But I will add it to TODO list.

I understand what you mean.
For my use, I don’t need the AutoDimmer function. So an option to activate/deactivate it could be great.

Thank you. I’m also interested in garage door function!
For the moment, I use a push button to have Custom Scene. The target colour/luminosity is set in HomeKit. The only limitation is that it doesn’t work in case of WiFi or Hub problem.

With last version, you can disable autodimmer setting "autodimmer step percentage" to 0.

Thank you! I’ll try it tomorrow.

I've disable auto dimmer, and was able to add a stateless button on same GPIO to have Custom Scene. Here is my Json for example with RGBW2 and two push button on GPIO 1 (TX) and 3 (RX) :
{"c":{"n":"srgbw2-haa-chp","q":16383},"a":[{"t":30,"e":0,"r":12,"g":15,"v":14,"fr":3,"fg":3,"fv":3,"b":[{"g":1,"t":1}],"f2":[{"g":1,"t":2}],"f3":[{"g":3,"t":2}]},{"t":3,"f0":[{"g":3,"t":1}],"f1":[{"g":1,"t":3}],"f2":[{"g":3,"t":3}]}]}

Thank you! All working as expected!

disable autodimmer setting "autodimmer step percentage" to 0.

This feature doesn't seem to work anymore, if I set "e": 0 then the bulb will not turn on and will always be at 0% even if I click on it.
