Flashing Lights with Two Colors

Setup, Configuration and Use Scripts & Rules
1

Hi All,

I have 4 Hue color lights and was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to have 4 lights flash on and off while alternating two colors? My idea is that when a goal is scored I could trigger a scene to do this.

Thanks for any advice.

There is no way I know of in OH to control all four perfectly synchronized. There will be a slight delay between each bulb.

To implement this, add all the bulbs to the same group. Then in a rule that gets triggered by the goal sendCommand the first color to the group, sleep for a sec, then send the next and so on.

Hi Rick,

Thanks for your time in this. I didn’t put them into groups yet but see below for the rule that is working as I want it to. I found that it would be neat to have them a bit more random while alternating two different colors. I’m sure this could be vastly improved upon but here’s what I’ve got to get it working.

rule "goal "
when
Item goal received command ON
then
Thread::sleep(5000)
var Number counter = null
counter=0
while(counter<10 && Scene_Lights.state==2)
{
counter=counter+1
