openweather plugin ?

Using them as RGBW at the moment. But I can see them also being used just as white strips. Whether that would be four strips - don't think so. One strip would be enough at each location for my needs.

It's surprising how much current they can run through the device given its size.

Just to complicate things: in addition to the 3em pro - I've got a shelly pro em 50 turning up in the mail.

I’ve rationalised a lot of the ShellyBridge handling of Gen 2+ devices, so this shouldn’t be too much of an issue.

[a-lurker]

I tried out the new update: "Development Branch: 2024 Release 4.5". Nothing too badly broken so that's good. I notice the H&T devices now have new variable names ie humidity/0/rh and temperature/0/tC, etc. These no longer show up in AltUI or console at Home-->Devices. Likewise with the 3em pro: em/0/a_voltage, etc

No doubt a work in progress but the forward slashes are a bit problematic eg they can't be part of a whisper filename.

Delimiters are always a problem. I tried initially with ‘:’, but UPnP already took that. However, it’s not intended that you use these directly; they are simply transcriptions from the MQTT topics. As with other Shellies, the key variables get copied to the MiOS equivalents, possibly in child devices, so that everything works.

I am making progress with the RGBW, and remember just how much I hate the way MiOS tries to handle them… and on top of that, AltUI has its own quirks.

Lots of work done refactoring things - should "Eclipse" the older versions. Code still working here - thank you.

[akbooer]

Yes, thanks.

BTW, "Generic status update over MQTT" should not need to be ticked, now.

You will also have seen that you can use luup.openLuup.pretty() directly.

[a-lurker]

I've got something about pretty printing here. No doubt in my writings, I have made a few errors here and there but that can happen. OK on the "Generic status update over MQTT" - I'll fix that in the paragraph immediately above here.

[akbooer]

Ah, OK, that’s great.

Whilst on documentation, the bit on Quick graph view is incorrect where it says:

”Uses Google Charts, so an internet connection is required..”

This used to be the case, but now it’s all local SVG, so no external connection needed.

[a-lurker]

Doco corrected.

Had a look at the latest development code. Got this:

2024-04-20 18:51:28.519   openLuup.userdata:: [9111] LuaView (GitHub.master)
2024-04-20 18:51:28.519   openLuup.userdata:: [9281] Virtual HTTP Devices (GitHub.master)

2024-04-20 18:51:28.525   openLuup.init:: init phase completed

Had to get the house back up and running, so we could watch the TVeee.

Commented out some code:

local function log (msg, level) 
  local dno = scheduler.current_device()
  -- local mute = devices[dno].attributes.log_level    -- 2024.04.12  add "log_level" device attribute
  local mute = "something"
  if mute ~= "off" then
    logs.send (msg, level, dno) 
  end
end

Could look further but had to get the house back up and running, so we could watch the TVeee. So best I can do currently!

[akbooer]

Ouch, sorry!

Away from my development system for a couple of days, but will dig into it when back.

Have to find out why I didn’t run into this myself when testing (I do, actually, test things!)

[akbooer]

@a-lurker

Could you try latest development v240426 to check this is fixed.

Thanks and, again, apologies.
