Philips Hue CLIP 2 API v2 Discussion Thread

[AndrewFG (Andrew Fiddian-Green)]

@seime I have uploaded yet another new version. It has the following changes..

• Prevented (hopefully, please check) overlapping of legacy thing information when multiple bridges are present.
• Added support to ‘Alert’ channels.
• Added support for ‘Effect’ channels.
• Improved synchronization when adding many things at the same time.
• Updated documentation concerning migration and added channels.

Note that the ‘Alert’ and ‘Effect’ channels are not one-to-one compatible with the legacy version of those channels. They now work in a very similar way to scenes.

The new Jars are in the USUAL PLACE

EDIT: by the way, I noted your comment about the scene channel state not being initialised on startup; this will be fixed in the next version.

[seime (Arne S)]

Thanks @AndrewFG,

@AndrewFG

I suppose that you added a lot of things at the same time. Such as dropping a .things file

Yes, I keep my things and items primarily in thing/item files as this (to me) is the only viable way to manage a larger system.

@AndrewFG

• Prevented (hopefully, please check) overlapping of legacy thing information when multiple bridges are present.

Works correctly now! Thanks.

@AndrewFG

• Added support to ‘Alert’ channels.

BREATHE works similar to the LSELECT v1 command (multiple flashes). Is there a single flash command available as well (see earlier post on how to trigger the single flash)

@AndrewFG

• Added support for ‘Effect’ channels.

Tried candle and it worked for a single bulb, but not available for rooms/zones (have no idea if it should or not)

@AndrewFG

• Improved synchronization when adding many things at the same time.

All Scene items now

• Show NULL as initial state (as you wrote in your updated comment)
• Has the correct possible scene values listed in MainUI

Random scene items still reports unknown command when I try to send a command, ie [OH-safeCall-6] [e.internal.handler.Clip2ThingHandler] - handleCommand() unsupported channelUID:hue:room:nede:kontor:scene, command:Kveld

I corrected a channel link typo for another room scene. Opposed to the initially correct linked item scenes this one did not get scene options added and just shows NULL as the rest.

Thanks

[seime (Arne S)]

@AndrewFG Did you miss this one? (I know I have sent many detailed messages )

[AndrewFG (Andrew Fiddian-Green)]

@seime

Is there a single flash command available

In the API documentation, BREATHE is the only command currently listed. But from the way it is described it implies that others might be added in future.

@seime

candle and it worked for a single bulb

Yes that seems to be the case. It is the same as in the App.

@seime

Random scene items still reports unknown command

Are the failing commands ones with accented characters?

@seime

this one did not get scene options added and just shows NULL as the rest

Maybe you have to delete and recreate that thing?

@seime

Did you miss this one?

Which one? (So apparently, yes I did miss it).

[Mark_VG (Mark)]

@AndrewFG

Maybe you have to delete and recreate that thing?

On two of mine i had to recreate and remove stale links to get the scene to work

[AndrewFG (Andrew Fiddian-Green)]

@Mark_VG

had to recreate and remove stale links to get the scene to work

Do you mean items linked to the scene channels? And if so, do you recall if the items were NOT string type items?

[seime (Arne S)]

@AndrewFG

Maybe you have to delete and recreate that thing?

Since I am using file configuration I believe all things/items in the files are re-created upon startup. One of the nice aspects of using files.

@AndrewFG

Are the failing commands ones with accented characters?

No, that does not seem to be the problem.

I did some half-baked patches to the code - adding a lock to synchronize access to the aforementioned collections and also removed the temporaryAssociatedScenesList.clear() in updateLookups. That made scenes work, but I consider it a hack as the root cause is still there (multiple clearing/adding to the same collections from multiple threads)

@AndrewFG

Which one? (So apparently, yes I did miss it).

This one: Philips Hue CLIP 2 API v2 Discussion Thread - #95 by seime

[AndrewFG (Andrew Fiddian-Green)]

@seime

root cause is still there (multiple clearing/adding to the same collections from multiple threads)

I don’t see this. But you have a much larger system. So can you please provide more details? e.g. logs..

PS I don’t recognise the logs you posted before; so I guess you changed the code. ??

[Mark_VG (Mark)]

@AndrewFG

Do you mean items linked to the scene channels? And if so, do you recall if the items were NOT string type items?

Yes. That is correct.
They looked badicslly correct as i recall. There were stalevlinks and simply deleting theses did not fix.
Asdumed it was from my messing ariundcwith changes so just deleted items and relinked

[AndrewFG (Andrew Fiddian-Green)]

@seime

Another strange thing is that one of my bulbs is not showing up in the inbox.

In the log I sent, search for Bad Vegg 3

In the log you sent, it looks like Bad Vegg 3 has been instantiated as a thing; and when you instantiate a thing, it gets removed from the Inbox

[seime (Arne S)]

So I created a PR to improve logging; Prefix clip2 logging with thing uid by seime · Pull Request #2 · andrewfg/openhab-addons · GitHub

Log from startup is in your email inbox.

Search for hue:room:nede:kontor

There you will see that updateLookups is called twice here.

• The first time updateLookups will use the temporaryAssociatedScenesList populated in updateScenes, but wipes temporaryAssociatedScenesList on line 674.
• The second time temporaryAssociatedScenesList is empty, so it since it also clears sceneCommandResourceIds on line 653, sceneCommandResourceIds will remain empty. Hence scene not found when sending a command to the channel.

I must have had an error in the old things file with respect to the lightId parameter. Sorry

@seime

updateLookups is called twice here.

Yes I see that. I am working on some changes so that it can only be called once.

EDIT: the new Jar is in the usual place HERE – it includes the following fixes..

• Improved thread synchronization.
• Scene channel state initialized on start up.

EDIT 2: @seime I think I have implemented all your open requests, except for ‘automations’.. The reason for the latter is a) I don’t really get your use case, and b) the API v2 does not have ‘automations’ any more; they seem to have been replaced by resources of type behavior_instance see API V2 .. perhaps you can investigate that page and let me know your thoughts?

EDIT 3: a minor issue, but I have noticed that, on one of my lights, when I set and then unset the ‘candle’ effect, it stops updating the color temperature state in the binding. It’s hard to figure out, but I think it may be a bug on Philips side..

[seime (Arne S)]

Thanks @AndrewFG, I tried the new version but I still experience problems. Did a restart of openhab and emailed you the logs.

Findings:

1. None of my Scene items gets populated with the current scene on startup
2. I tried each scene item on each bridge. 2 worked, the third didn’t
3. Regarding hue automations/rules/behaviour; this was just a possible workaround to the loss of the existing fadingLightAction. From the docs the attribute dynamics/duration on Login - Philips Hue Developer Program and Login - Philips Hue Developer Program could be the field that needs to be populated to achieve this?

The log you sent me seems not to be from the latest version. The Jar file should have the ‎2023-‎04-‎20 ‏‎16:20 timestamp.

[seime (Arne S)]

You are right. wget fooled me by appending .1 to the jar zip file.

Restarted openhab with latest version (please verify)

openhab> bundle:list|grep hue
356 │ Active │  80 │ 3.4.3.202304201519     │ openHAB Add-ons :: Bundles :: hue Binding

Now my scene channels seem to be missing altogether.

[AndrewFG (Andrew Fiddian-Green)]

@seime

latest version (please verify)

Correct.

@seime

my scene channels seem to be missing altogether.

Please check the log for ‘updateChannelList()’ entries and any warnings for that.

EDIT: I am guessing you would see entries like the following; in which case temporarily remove and restore the thing in your respective ‘.things’ file..

"{} -> updateChannelList() required channel '{}' missing => please recreate thing!",

[AndrewFG (Andrew Fiddian-Green)]

@AndrewFG

one of my lights .. it stops updating the color temperature state

I fixed that too. The new Jar is (again) in the same place.

[AndrewFG (Andrew Fiddian-Green)]

@seime

From the docs the attribute dynamics/duration .. could be the field that needs to be populated to achieve this?

Maybe. I can see at least four areas where one might apply some form of dynamics to a light transition..

1. As you say, the dynamics.duration field for light resp. grouped_light
2. Analogously the dynamics.duration field for scene (probably)
3. The timed_effects.duration field for light (not sure about this though)
4. The afore-mentioned behaviour_instance with its timing parameters

Now all of the above pose a problem for us in OH – namely..

Currently when OH issues (static) commands to things, it passes a single command parameter that defines the target value e.g. PercentType(23),
HsbType(11,22,33), StringType('SCENE_NAME'), OnOffType.ON etc.

HOWEVER to issue a timed command to a thing, OH would need to pass a ‘complex’ command with two parameters with the target value PLUS the delay time e.g. ComplexCommand(PercentType(23), DecimalType(45))

UNFORTUNATELY such an animal as ComplexCommand() does not exist in OH! Nor is there any conceivable way of representing such a complex command in a standard UI control element.

I have experience of a similar challenge in the Tado (thermostat) binding. Where OH issues complex commands like “set temperature 25 celsius for 1 hour”. It does this by implementing two channels “set temperature” resp. “until time”. And the binding implements a processing delay so that if a “set temperature” and an “until time” are both received from OH within say 2 seconds, they will be combined into a single command to the Tado hub.

The above solution works fine for heating: Who cares if a “set temperature” command would not be executed until 2 seconds later, just in case an “until time” command might also be received? However for Hue it may be more disturbing if an (immediate) “dimming” command would be delayed by 2 seconds, just in case a “duration” command might also be received.

@seime (and anyone else) => what do you think?

PS nota bene: the process delay issue with Hue could be ameliorated if the “duration” command could only be sent before the “dimming” command e.g. in pseudo logic as follows..

if ("duration" command received) -> delay 2 seconds -> if ("dimming" command received) => execute ("dimming" @ "duration")
 vs.
if (("dimming" command received) && !("duration" command received in last 2 seconds)) -> execute ("dimming" @ immediately)

EDIT: let me make a test version with the above-mentioned “two-channel-duration-before-action” model so we can play around with it..

EDIT 2: I made the test version with two-channel-duration-before-action setting the command dynamics. It works perfectly! Jars in the usual place.

From rules you can use Rule Actions (existing hue action) to achieve this. From a UI perspective you can now access these thing actions from the API starting from 4.0 M1.

IMHO your suggested workaround could easily become flaky on a slow or overloaded system. I found this question while researching; to me it is unclear whether openhab guarantees events to be ordered in the same way as they are sent - or if dimming could be delivered before duration even if duration was sent first. Maybe @J-N-K could comment?

Also, for lights i personally find 2 seconds delay unacceptable because I expect immediate visual feedback when pushing a button to turn lights on. In fact, the reason I am testing your updated binding is to get rid of the state update delay when increasing/decreasing brightness with 10% from a push button on the wall
