Dimmer groups and sitemaps

Hello friends,
I’m using OpenHAB 3.1 on a Raspberry Pi 4 running Raspberry Pi OS with desktop.
I recently purchased 16 Innr RS-226 Zigbee GU10 dimmable lights and I would like to control them in 3 groups: Entrance, Salon, Bedroom. Entrance group controls 8 bulbs, Salon group controls 6 bulbs, and the Bedroom group controls 2 bulbs.
I’ve added all the bulbs to my OpenHAB system using a HUSBZB-1 USB Zwave/Zigbee Hub and created a Thing and Item for each bulb.
I also created 3 dimmer groups and assigned the new bulbs items to the relevant groups based on their location.
I then added dimmer sliders to my Sitemap. For each group I created one slider that control All bulbs together, and separate sliders that manually control each bulb individually.

This setup works, but it’s not perfect, and I’m facing a few issues.

  1. The first issue is that when I set a desired brightness level using the slider that controls All bulbs, not all the bulbs change to the same chosen brightness. A few bulbs will get the brightness I chose correctly, but a few bulbs end up being set with a lower or higher brightness level from the one I actually set.

  2. Second problem is that a few moments after I set the desired brightness level for All bulbs, the All slider will show a “0” value instead of the brightness level I actually set.
    Here is a screen video recording that demonstrates the behavior:

OpenHAB Dimmer Group - Album on Imgur

Is this a known issue, or is there another way to create dimmer groups that will work in a better way?

What is the type and the aggregation function for the Group Item?

Is this just a UI issue or is the Group Item really set to 0?

What do you see in events.log?

Hi @rlkoshak :slight_smile:
Thank you for you message.
The Group Item was not set to “0”. I set it to 50.
I think your questions helped me solve issue number 2.
Before your answer I did not set the Group Item Aggregation Function. Once I set it to either AVG, MAX or MIN, the All slider now shows a constant value.
As for the group type, I set it to dimmer.

That’s why I asked. Without an aggregation function the Group won’t have any state at all.

For problem 1 you need to look at events log to see what the Items are doing after the Group is commanded.

Here is what I see in the event.log
First step was to turn ON the Entrance switch.
Second step was to change the All slider from 26 to 51.
(I cut a large portion of the log out because of the forum’s letters limit for a comment).

Is it possible to use a Setpoint to control the dimmer instead of a Slider?
Based on the event.log it appears the slider is causing the bulbs to try to set various brightness levels between the current level and the desired level.
If I use a setpoint that could lower the amount of “middle levels”.

Are you sure it is not a race condition? Ie. you set set desired group state to ie. 50. All items in group get updated one by one, so group state gets changed. Ideally it should get to 50 once all items confirm their state. Yet, if you use a increase/decrease command then it might get quite wild. +50 calculated from 0 is different than from calculated from 30.

Anyhow, I am curious what the issue really is!

Lots going on here.

First, using Group to propagate commands to your individual devices. Here you blast out 8 commands in a few tens of milliseconds. I expect they’ll all get delivered eventually, but there will be quite a bit of churning about on your network, as the devices are probably trying to respond at the same time.
Don’t expect instant response.

Then there’s dimmer ramping, depending on the device. It may deliberately take time to change from X to Y. Potentially it could issue status updates along the way. So command 50 might be followed by response 40, then later by response 50. Under some circumstances, you could get a response 40 soon after the command, but not get the “final” 50 until much later. It takes very careful unpicking of logs to unravel this.

Alongside that, your Items have autoupdate at work. To speed up apparent response at the UI, the system guess the likely outcome of each command and updates the Item state (these are the predictions you see). That gives you some jitter effects if coupled to realtime updates from a ramping dimmer e.g 35->50->40->50. See

For some dimmers it is better to disable autoupdate, it’s your choice, but it’s only a visual effect really. For some types I think the Zigbee binding does this for you.

Then there’s the ‘master’ Group status, calculated from member states each time one updates. As we’ve seen, the member states are going to be all over the place, then so will the calculated Group state.
Again you may get visual effects in the UI.

That shouldn’t matter … but there was a UI bug that transformed slider state updates back into commands, so creating a loop cycle of chaos, but that should be fixed at OH3.1 I think. No sign of the ‘extra’ commands you would get from that bug, so I do not think it is a factor here.

Thank you, @rossko57 for the detailed explanation. It helps.
As you explained and the log shows, OpenHAB seems to “over-flood” the event.log with “middle point” brightness levels between the “start” dimmer level and the desired level set with the slider.
In order to circumvent all the commands created, I decided to use a Selection mapping with predefined values, such as 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%… thus sending the Group item a specific command with the desired brightness level, without actually moving the slider from 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15…47,48,49,50.
This way there are far less commands sent by the system.

It’s worth pointing out that at the moment, zigbee groups is not supported by the binding. I know that you are not trying to use that here - you’re using openHAB groups. This should work (with limitations) but you should understand that this will result in all the lights changing brightness or colour etc at different times (possibly over a few seconds) which isn’t great. The order will be random, so it looks a bit “not so nice” :wink: - but it should work ok with a bit of luck, although the firmware in the HUSBZB-1 is quite old and there are some issues that might cause problems.

I recently added group support to the underlying libraries for a different system, and will try and find a way to add this into the OH binding at some stage in future. This will be the best solution, but it’s a little longer term unfortunately.

Thank you @chris for your continued support of the zwave and zigbee bindings and for your help :pray:

Another thing to keep in mind here is the way the slider widget works. By default, the slider sends commands to the linked item as you swipe. Both the frequency of these commands during sliding and the behavior in general are configurable in the widget. I don’t see your widget code, but I suspect if you turn off the commands during sliding by using

releaseOnly: true

you will see a better and more consistent response from your items. You won’t see the actual devices changing in real time with the slider only when you finish the movement, so if you require that visual feedback then this won’t work.

Depending on the latency in the actual devices, you may be able to get away with keeping the sliding commands and just lowering their frequency (default is every 200ms) by using:

commandInterval: 500

or whatever interval best optimizes user interaction and correct item states.

I would agree… From a binding perspective, the binding will receive 6 commands for each update (if there are 6 devices in the group). If the slider sends half a dozen updates as you slide from 20% to 60%, then that is 36 commands that now need to be sent. The binding can only send out about 5 commands at a time (limited by the dongle) and from experience it’s likely that this will take about 5 seconds to clear (ie to get all of these commands sent).

Thanks for the suggestion, @JustinG :pray:
I don’t need the actual visual feedback of the sliders movement.
How should I add the releaseOnly: true command to my setup?
Do I add it to the Slider line on my Sitemap?
I did not configure widgets. I’m just using the sitemap to create show the sliders.

Ah, I see that missed in your first post that you were still using sitemaps. The sitemap slider does not have an option equivalent to releaseOnly, but it does have the ability to change the frequency of updates by adding the sendFrequency parameter to the element definition. You could try setting that parameter to 500 or 1000 and see if that reduces the problem.

I haven’t tested it, but it’s also possible that if you set the sendFrequency value to something way too big (e.g., 10000) that will replicate a releaseOnly effect because you will likely never spend 10 seconds moving the slider but it will still send the final value when you release the element.

Yes, you would just add

sendFrequency=SOME NUMBER HERE

to the slider line in your sitemap file.

Sorry for the noob question, but can OpenHAB’s iOS app display widgets without the need to create a Sitemap?
If it can, I will switch from my current Sitemap format to the Widgets format.
