IC ST-DIM300 from IC Isenbügel - dimmer not handled correctly

[Jobo504]

Hello,
IC ST-DIM300 seems not to be recognized correctly as a dimmer inside the integration.
The device is switchable and dimmable inside the integration ("Steuerelemente") but if used as light in a Lovelace card, it is only displayed as unknwon and is not controllable.
(Hint: All OEM Digitalstrom switches like e.g. EG-TKM300 and dimmers are running flawlessly)

Regards
Jochen

Are you sure this is not a problem with your Lovelace card? Can you provide more details?

[Jobo504]

Hello, yes I am nearly sure, that it is not a problem of the Lovelace-card, since I am using the standard "lights" card with the same configuration for all my other devices (e.g. GE-TKM210, GE-KM200, GE-TKM300).
But I am not really sure which more details I can provide to narrow the topic down.
So I just try to describe a little bit better the behavior:
The lights-card shows the devices as not available and I can't switch or dim it directly.

But if I press the 3 dots in the right top corner of the "lights" Lovelace Card I can switch the lamp on with the power-button and I also can dim it.
But I can't switch off the lamp by the power-button (no reaction of this button anymore).

All other devices can be switched on and off by pressing this power-button in my other "lights" lovelace-cards
So maybe it has something to do with the "off-state" definition of the IC Isenbügel device?

One further difference is the display inside the integration entities. All my other lights (examplary "Arbeitszimmer Deckenleuchte) are displayed as switch in opposite to the IC-Isenbügel device (Stehlampe Wohnzimmer) displayed with two flash-symbols for on and off (see pictures)

Oh I see, there is a problem reading the state of the light from DS. Can you send me debug logs? Before you disable the debug logging please turn the light on and off and wait for about 10 minutes.

Hello, please find the log attached. … hope it helps and thanks for your great effort. Grüße Jochen

I don't see a get_devices message in the log. Maybe you forgot to reload the integration or restart HA. And can you tell me the DSUID of the light? Thanks

[Jobo504]

sorry, next try:
dSUID: 302ed89f43f00000000045000052df8f00 (Wohnzimmer Stehlampe)

Okay, that looks better. My integration tries to read the current brightness of the lamp from the following path: apartment/zones/zone0/devices/302ed89f43f00000000045000052df8f00/status/outputs/brightness/targetValue
but this path probably doesn't exist for your dimmer device. Can you go to the dSS configurator and check what the correct path for reading the brightness is?

I just checked again the devices chapter , it seems that the IC Isenbügel dimmer and IC Isenbügel switch have an additional [0] in the path:
so apartment/zones/zone0/devices/302ed89f43f00000000045000052df8f00[0]... instead of
apartment/zones/zone0/devices/302ed89f43f00000000045000052df8f00
or even[1]

Maybe it's worth a try to reset/remove this dimmer from dss and connect it again to see if there is still this [0] int the path. I will try that tomorrow...

[Mat931]

Okay, should be fixed. Please install the 'main' version of the integration in HACS until v0.0.9 is released and tell me if the dimmer works.

[Jobo504]

thanks, that works
BUT: I just reseted all my devices via the reset-button in the system maintenance tab of dss and it looks like now the [0] disappeared and we are talking about the regular path again for the IC-Isenbügel devices. I don't know why this happened originally only to these devices.
In consequence your bugfix in the main version is not needed any more btw. needs to be reverted..
Sorry for the trouble I caused but you pointed me in the right direction where to look. Thanks!

[Mat931]

Okay, reverted. Still would be interesting to know if this could happen again and how to detect it.
