[RELEASE] Event Engine - Automate your world with easy to use Cogs. Rev up complex automations with just a few clicks!

Thank you for the debounce option. I am testing this now

So it looks like the debounce works when its triggered but when the cog becomes false the humity is less 70 it shuts of the fan. But if it drops again it re runs the off function. Can we get a debouce for the reverse :slight_smile:

Hi Bryan, have you received your Lifx strips ? :slightly_smiling_face:

Yup, Pattern Controller. :wink:

I just went back and looked at your screenshots. I can only support the built-in driver at this point. Also, the error in your log looks like it's for a HS WD200 Dimmer device, using a driver from a developer that's no longer part of this community. :man_shrugging:

You've been busy ! I installed Pattern Controller yesterday and it seems great for controlling the LED zones, good job., will make controlling the LIFX in the kids room way easier.

But I fail to see how this will fix the problem with EE controlling Lifx correctly. I updated EE but same problem is present.

The Homeseer dimmers error using CodaHQ's driver is a known issue. Unfortunately, no one (that I know of) has a complete driver for these dimmers. The Hubitat built-in driver is very basic and does not support controlling the 7 LED's. I use a lot of the annunciation features of these dimmers using the 7 colored LEDS for tasks like:

Washer, Drier, Oven, Microwave Status
Load shedding, Plant watering levels, Pool Backwash needed, Aquarium cleaning needed, Front and backdoor status, Alarm system status, Garbage and Recycling days notifications.

I do see the errors generated in the log but it does not affect the way EE controls the lights, they work fine.

Can you show me a screenshot of the errors between EE and the Lifx Strip?

I don't get an error message from what I'm seeing in the log, but when the MODE changes, the light turns on to the previous mode color (as set in EE) and then instantly changes to the proper color for the present mode. Exemple: Night mode: all LEDs are RED, Morning mode, the LEDs are supposed to be 2700K. So the light turns on RED, followed by 2700K, all at once and (it seems anyway) full power, as I'm getting a flash of light. Cool effect.... but wife is not impressed.. she's the one to gets up at night. It does the same Effect when EE turns off the LifX LED after the delay. (I remember this happening with my regular dimmers but it's been a year or more that this has not happened).

I think the LED going full power as something to do with the way EE works. I use "Dim lights after delay as warning" alot and EE is probably ramping up the lights to the programmed value and turning it off instantly to "remember the setting"

This is what I am getting from the logs:

I don't know if it's normal to see 2 changes in level within 2 seconds. Right now I'm in DAY mode and programmed Level is 35%. The log indicates 15% and then 12% ??

I can confirm, no more flashy ! it works as it should, Thank-you !

There is a problem with using Color Temperature with Lifx. I don't know why but everything works fine using colors (even "soft white", "day light", etc) but if I dial 2700K, 3000K, etc. The light does not follow the light Level. e.g. asking for 100% gives me 12% sometimes, I still need to do some testing, the problem seems intermittent.

Check this out...

Based on this thread, I've created an UI enhancement for Event Engine! You can find the code on my GitHub. All thanks goes to @tomas1 for his original script.

Note: this script doesn't contain any of the other great features of the original script. It only adds EE to the menu and creates the nice 'by room' page. Consider this an 'add-on' script to his multi-feature script. But it can also work without it.

Could someone take a look at this cog and tell me if you see something I am missing? It fires off like it should on weekend mornings at 0500, but for some reason it isn't shutting off at 0600 (impacting WAF). I cant seem to figure out why. I forgot to set up to run logs this weekend, but was hoping maybe Simeone sees something I'm just missing. Thanks!

Remove the 'Restriction' on 'Between two times'. It's keeping anything from happening when the conditions become false.

When a cog fires, does EE do a refresh before capturing device states? Or does it just capture whatever is currently reported in HE?

I have a bunch of kasa wifi switches that don't actively report their state to HE. Their state in HE is only accurate as of the most recent poll unless a refresh command is sent.

Hoping someone can help me. I have blue iris. I am wanting to do the following. Set up a virtual switch so that when it is on, I receive no alerts from my outside cameras. When it is off, I receive alerts from blue iris. So, I made a profile in Blue iris that essentially stops alerting me to activities. I named this profile 7. I can get event engine to change the blue iris profile to profile 7. How can I get event profiler to make blue iris go to the previous profile (prior to the change to profile 7)? If I go into blue iris, I can press the 'pause' symbol next to the shield and blue irsis will go back to the current active schedule. How do I send this type of command to go back to the current active schedule with event engine? Thanks. Brock

EE uses what is in HE. To refresh every device, every time would be waaaay too much traffic.

Sorry, I don't have any way of doing this. Best you can do is use the same command to set the profile to what ever you want at that time.
