[nanoleaf] Nanoleaf Aurora binding (just started development, collecting requirements)

I got a private message from Nanoleaf’s primary support guy today:

:joy:

I asked him whether you can get in touch with him directly regarding your question. I am sure he will help you!

Haha … good to know that they’re watching the reddit sub. It’s mostly people showing off their installations there, so I figured I’d add some variety :slight_smile:

Thanks for getting in touch with the nanoleaf guy, I’ll contact him!

I’m German btw.

Me too, so that means we can actually run a remote session together and I have a look at your system directly if you want …

WOW what a interesting idea! Will you share script later? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
Just seems hard to me to remember what is what :smiley:
Is this some kind of new version on triangels? I dont have this plastic “connectors” in corners … :thinking:

Hi Tom,

I have published the rule here:

I’m still learning the DSL, so it’s far from perfect and I haven’t done any clean up yet. But it should help you to get an idea :slight_smile:

After only a little time I don’t need to remember anything, it’s quite easy :slight_smile: First column is the current conditions, second column starting is the temperature, and following the “snake” in horizontal direction are the next forecasted temps. Going up is the wind, and going further right is clouds. At least for me - it’s easy :slight_smile:

The official mounting tape didn’t work very well on my ingrain-wallpaper. So those plastic connectors are a mix of the official installation kit for the triangles (don’t buy it, it sucks and is too expensive!) and a 3d printed solution which works very well with just a small nail in each.

Nice! thnx

Hello @stefan.hoehn and maybe others :slight_smile:

Did somebody here have success with using the Binding for the new shapes, e.g. Hexagon? Somebody reached out on reddit to me, saying that the binding discovers the hexagon controller, but when adding it, the system hangs for a while and the thing stays “initiializing”.

I’m not sure if the new shapes are officially supported at all? I assume, internally they are similar to the squares, but don’t know for sure. So before I try to help this guy, I’d like to know if it works or is supposed to work in general

Yes, the hexagons will. See my posting here: Nanoleaf Binding OH3

Unfortunately, I discovered issues during testing which has nothing todo with the hexagons but rather with some unstable behaviour which I am working on to track down where it comes from in certain environments (it might be related to other bindings). So please stay tuned. It will be released soon. If you don’t want to wait, pm me and I can send you a version to download provided you are on OH3. The hexagons also support touch support.

Stefan

Alright, I’ll just tell this guy to wait a little bit longer. I suppose it’s not a good idea to confront a newbie with snapshot releases.

In the meantime I migrated to OH3 and for me the binding has been working flawlessly so far. But I didn’t see the other thread, let’s take the discussion there :slight_smile:
