The AltHue plugin works fine as well

In MSR or in the Reactor plugin for Vera?

[Pabla]

@cw-kid Yes

@cw-kid said in Support for 3rd party Vera plugins ?:

In addition I'd need to be able to also tell which Harmony Activity is currently active? Or if the Power Off activity is active etc.

[Matohl]

@cw-kid Both

[cw-kid]

@matohl Is it ?

I can't see how to run a Hue Scene or start the ColorLoop off the Hue Bridge.

There doesn't appear to be any Actions implemented yet against the AltHue device.

[Matohl]

@cw-kid You are running the AltHue app in Vera, right? Not looking at the Hue app but do you see your lamps in MSR as entities?

[Matohl]

@cw-kid ! Like this?

[cw-kid]

Yes the AltHue plugin.

Yes I see my Hue lamps listed in the Entities

I can turn them on and off and control other basic stuff.

But can't see how to initiate a hue scene for example.

[Matohl]

Ok Hue scenes I missed that. That is probably not implemented yet

[cw-kid]

AltHue lamps in Vera are standard Vera RGB dimmer devices are they not. That is why they are working now with MSR for basic controls.

However I don't think any of the AltHue plugin specific functions have been implemented yet in to MSR.

[cw-kid]

You can see better what I mean from this screen shot from PLEG.

We are currently missing the functions of the althue service ID

RunHueScene and SetEffect (ColorLoop) etc.

[cw-kid]

And here is a list of all the Harmony plugin service id functions

[therealdb]

As @rigpapa said, he needs to map them.

Since we're at it, I think both my VeraAlexa and VeraTelegram plug-ins are good candidate as a native MSR plug-in, since they could be written as node.js/bash script. Virtual HTTP Devices plug-in is using standard services, so we should be good.

[cw-kid]

Indeed.

I'm not currently using your Telegram Vera plugin, I'm just sending out HTTP requests from Vera also now from MSR, to their Cloud API / my Telegram account.

MSR Doesn't natively support Telegram messenger either by the looks of it.

[therealdb]

And that’s ok if you want to send text only, but images/videos could be complex, since you need to send a file as well.

Yeah I'm not doing that currently just text.

[toggledbits]

Telegram plugin will be supported in 21055 (build later today). I am working on ALTHUE. Challenging since I don't own these devices.

[therealdb]

Challenging since I don't own these devices.

let me know if you need help. for ALTHue, I think an emulator (ie: HA-Bridge) could be enough.

[cw-kid]

Would a device dump for the main AltHue device in Vera help ? Now I know how to do them.

[toggledbits]

I got all your stuff. That really helps. First pass support is in for 21055. Let's see how it goes.

HARMONY SEND DEVICE COMMAND - CONFIRMED AS WORKING

I've tested sending a Device Command to an IR device via the Harmony hub in an MSR rule, see my note on the ticket here.

I can now see the Harmony plugin's ServiceID functions under an Entity Action in MSR, by selecting the Harmony Hub device.

I tried issuing a Device Command first, to turn on an Amplifier that runs the speaker in my Bathroom ceiling.

I used the Harmony plugin for Vera HTTP API with these commands to work out what information I needed. Or I could have looked in the Variables tab in Vera for this Harmony Hub device instead.

You can see here on the Vera forum about these HTTP commands.

List All Devices

(214 Is the Vera Device ID number of the Harmony Hub device)

http://VERA-IP/port_3480/data_request?id=lr_Harmony214&cmd=list_devices

In the results I found the device I wanted to send a command to.

{ "Device": "Denon Mini System", "Manufacturer": "Denon", "ID": "70564644", "Model": "UDM31" }

So 70564644 is the devices ID number.

List All Commands of that device

http://VERA-IP/port_3480/data_request?id=lr_Harmony214&cmd=list_device_commands&cmdp1=70564644

In the results I then found the "Command" that I want to send from MSR, in this case its PowerToggle

[ { "Function": "Power", "Commands": [ { "Action": "PowerToggle", "Label": "Power Toggle" } ]

Duration is the length of time the Harmony Hub should blast the IR command I set this to 1

My MSR rule here is linked / triggered by a virtual ON / OFF switch in Vera, so I also configured the "Reset Reaction" in the rule.

When I turn ON or OFF the "Bathroom Amplifier" virtual switch in Vera, the IR command "PowerToggle" is sent to the amplifier OK, so its working !

Today I will also test starting different Harmony Activities and Powering Off the Harmony Hub.
