@smartmatic do it works, but doesn't do color or dimming?

can you enable device logs and post them? So I can see more details?

[smartmatic]

I had some trouble with my Homebridge environment and set up a new one. These running now with Node v16.13.0 and NPM v8.1.0. The other settings are still the same as mentioned in my initial post.

Here is now the device Log for the Bulb.
homebridge.log-3.txt

Although the log sends a success message neither the brighness nor the color is changing.
Hope the log helps?

[donavanbecker]

@smartmatic Thanks this helps. I will look into this.

[donavanbecker]

I can see now the color picker in Home App but control the bulb does not work propperly. I could switch on the bulb but now the bulb stucks. The device does no longer react to any other commands.

Is node.js. 14.18.1 now really a prerequisite for version 1.2.0?

I still have 14.18.0 installed

[donavanbecker]

@smartmatic, finally got my hands on a lightbulb and I have the latest beta closer to a finished product. Still need to tweak some things but you shouldn't be receiving anymore errors.

[donavanbecker]

@smartmatic this should actually be fixed with v1.3.0

@donavanbecker I can confirm that the Bulb is now working as expected. I am able to change the color with Home App.
Only thing i observed is that the color should not change to fast. Then it looks like that the API is not able to handle the commands in the right time. Then sometimes the color don't change or it takes a while.

However thank you very much, great work! I really like that Plugin and really appreciate your effort you spend to optimize it!

[donavanbecker]

@smartmatic You could try changing the push rate of the plugin and see if that helps.
