I recently bought an Aeotec ZWave Bulb. It’s working great, both dimmer and color channel, but I’ve a few questions I’d like to get clarified:
The brightness channel on HSB does not seem to work for me. So, is not possible to control dimming through the color_color channel? I can only do either 0 or 100. Any value in between just turns on the light at the dimming level set on the switch_dimmer channel. Is this the expected behaviour?
Given the above, is it OK to switch off the bulb via color_color channel, providing brightness value equal to 0? May this harm the bulb and should I always use switch_dimmer=OFF/0 instead?
I use these lights, they do indeed work, and the Color channel does support values other than 0 & 100. Here is an example of how I set them in a rule. Note the quotes.
Same here, linked to different items as stated above. If on HSB colours B means “brightness” shouldn’t:
0,100,100 mean RED 100% bright
and
0,100,50 mean RED 50% bright? Maybe I’m getting the HSB color schema wrong, but both commands produce the same output. I need to change the bright on a different command passing the brightness %:
That’s my understanding. I use the online color pickers, and the 3rd number is indeed brightness.
What does the bulb do in your Widget of the Paper UI Control? Mine does indeed dim the bulb. But by dim the bumb, I mean it creates a deeper color. Full bright just makes the color washed out and it becomes white.
