[SOLVED] Hue come on different colours

Sharpy · November 12, 2019, 4:46pm

Hi everyone

I’m hoping for some help on this one prob easy for most of you

I have a hue compatible led strip on my stairs triggered by hue motion sensor it’s set too come on as a bright blue in the day and a nice red at night time and turns off after motion ends

I am getting bored of the blue and red color now and don’t feel like I’m making good use of what a colored strip does so,

What I’m after is random colors when the motion sensor is triggered come on a random colour but I have not got a clue how too write code for that brightness is not a concern at the moment only a nice range of random colors

Any help appertiated

The HSB in HSBType stands for “Hue Saturation Brightness”. So all you need to modify is the Hue value. This value is an integer between 0 and 359 (degrees in a circle). So all you need to do is randomly generate a number between 0 and 359 to get a random color, though saturation also has an impact on the color of the light so you might want to generate a random saturation as well, which is a number between 0 and 100 (i.e. PercentType).

You can generate a random using Math::random which returns a random number between 0.0 and 1.0. Then you can convert that to an integer between 0 and 359 using

val randHue = (Math::random * 360).intValue
val randSat = (Math::random * 100).intValue

Then send the command:

MyLight.sendCommand(randHue+","+randSat+","+MyLight.getStateAs(PercentType))

The getStateAs returns the brightness value).

Hi @rlkoshak & @fex thanks for the reply’s

This is the first time i have tried this and still haven’t got a clue how too use what you sent so my rule is not working and i’m not sure how too lay it out do i need to create any extra items or is it just the way i have layed out my rule?

rule "testcolormath"
when
	Item TestSwitch1 changed to ON 
then
	val randHue = (Math::random * 360).intValue
	val randSat = (Math::random * 100).intValue
	BULB6LRMAIN1_Color.sendCommand(randHue+","+randSat+","+BULB6LRMAIN1_Color.getStateAs(PercentType))
end

rlkoshak · November 13, 2019, 9:02pm

There is an infinity of ways a Rule can be “not working.” Not working how?

Add logging to verify whether or not the Rule is running.
Add logging to see what randHue and randSat are being set to
Add logging to see what BULB6LRMAIN1_Color.getStateAs(PercentType) returns

Sharpy · November 13, 2019, 9:05pm

from what I can tell the rule runs fine and does receive random hue & saturation values thanks for that the problem seems to be that the bulb doesn’t light as it receives a 0 brightness how would i send a non random brightness value along with the random results?

how do you add logging for these i’m only familiar with simple log info but looking at the log i can see it reciving random values

rule "testcolormath"
when
	Item TestSwitch1 changed to ON 
then
	logInfo("log", "started")
	val randHue = (Math::random * 360).intValue
	val randSat = (Math::random * 100).intValue
	BULB6LRMAIN1_Color.sendCommand(randHue+","+randSat+","+BULB6LRMAIN1_Color.getStateAs(PercentType))

rlkoshak · November 13, 2019, 9:19pm

Replace BULB6LRMAIN1_Color.getStateAs(PercentType) with what ever brightness you want. That part sends the current brightness to the light. If the current brightness is 0, it sends 0.

Sharpy · November 13, 2019, 10:45pm

Thanks for that Rich got it working one last thing how do i stop the light from changing when already on?

rule "Random color Led strip staris"
when
	Item Frontdoor_Motion changed to ON or
	Item Landing_Motion changed to ON
then
if( STRIP1STSTRIP_Color.state == OFF ) {
	val randHue = (Math::random * 360).intValue
	val randSat = (Math::random * 100).intValue
	STRIP1STSTRIP_Color.sendCommand(randHue+","+randSat+","+ "100")
}
end

rlkoshak · November 13, 2019, 10:53pm

You can STRIP1STSTRIP_Color.getStateAs(OnOffType) == ON to tell if the light is on. Or you can use (STRIP1STSTRIP_Color.getStateAs(PercentType) as Number) > 0.

Sharpy · November 13, 2019, 10:58pm

Thanks as always appreciate the help works great

The rule is just alot slower too run now I know nothing can be done about that its due too latency between the communications between hue motion sensor, the bridge, OH and the Strip works perfectly now

Thanks again

Thanks @fex your post also helped me troubleshoot what was wrong with my rule

job · November 14, 2019, 7:02am

Alterntively you could simply switch on the effect-channel:

Not exactly random but looping through all the colours.

Sharpy · November 14, 2019, 9:44am

Hi @job thanks for the reply I know about the color loop channel its not quite what I was after im saving that for other things
