How to get color information for light strips with more than 82 zones? #139

Does photons support getting information from light strips with more than 82 zones? My goal is to try and get the initial value of all 120 zones of my light strip.

Right now, I have this:

response = await lan_target.send(Pipeline(MultiZoneMessages.GetExtendedColorZones()), reference_light, message_timeout=1) payload = response[0].payload zone_count = payload.zones_count zone_buff = payload.colors

zone_count is 120 as expected, however len(zone_buff) only has 82 values with the actual color information.

I was reading that only 82 values can be returned in the first packet, but I'm not sure how I can check for a second packet to get the rest of the values - is this something that is possible?

I'm relatively new to Python, and learning as I go, but examples are appreciated!

hi @rh37hd , I believe you'll have a better time if you use the gatherer instead.

So something like

async def my_action(target, reference):
    async with target.session() as sender:
        plans = sender.make_plans("zones")

        async for serial, name, info in sender.gatherer.gather(plans, reference):
            if name == "zones":
                print(serial)
                for index, (h, s, b, k) in info:
                    print(f"    zone({index}) -- {h=},{s=},{b=},{k=}")

That code will already handle for you how the extended multizone messages will return multiple packets if the device has more than 82 zones.

Thank you for the response (and example)! I’m currently out of town but I will try this out when I return.

I don't have it quite working yet, but it may just be my lack of python experience.

here is my function

async def my_action(target, reference):
    async with target.session() as sender:
        plans = sender.make_plans("zones")

        async for cap in sender.gatherer.gather(sender.make_plans("capability"), reference):
            print("Found capability:")
            print(cap)


        async for serial, name, info in sender.gatherer.gather(plans, reference):
            print("Found Zones:")
            if name == "zones":
                print(serial)
                for index, (h, s, b, k) in info:
                    print(f"    zone({index}) -- {h=},{s=},{b=},{k=}")
        print("End")

Which I'm calling this way:

lan_target = collector.resolve_target("lan")
reference_beam = DeviceFinder.from_options({"serial": "MYSERIALNUMBERISHERE"})
await my_action(lan_target, reference_beam)

And here is the output:

To me, it looks like it's not seeing the "zones" plan, that's why I added the"capability" plan just to make sure communication with the device is successful and it looks like that one is working.

weird, if you pass debug=True into the setup_logging function, it should print out what messages it's sending out over the network and we can see more information.

it's sending it a 511 and getting back 512 messages

The "Received a message that wasn't expected" is interesting.

In your script, does it get to the point where it prints "End"?

if you modify your virtualenv and put some prints in here

photons/modules/photons_control/planner/plans.py

Line 410 in a9a5ba4

def process(self, pkt):

my guess is that function never gets information that lets it return True?

I'll answer what I can right away. I trimmed some of the extra logging from the output last time. For a full picture view, here is a copy of the entire script.

#!/usr/bin/env python

import logging

from delfick_project.logging import setup_logging
from photons_app.executor import library_setup
from photons_control.device_finder import DeviceFinder
from photons_app.collector import Collector

log = logging.getLogger("lifx_test")

async def my_action(target, reference):
    async with target.session() as sender:
        plans = sender.make_plans("zones")

        async for cap in sender.gatherer.gather(sender.make_plans("capability"), reference):
            print("Found capability:")
            print(cap)

        async for serial, name, info in sender.gatherer.gather(plans, reference):
            print("Found Zones:")
            if name == "zones":
                print(serial)
                for index, (h, s, b, k) in info:
                    print(f"    zone({index}) -- {h=},{s=},{b=},{k=}")
        print("End")

async def doit(collector):
    lan_target = collector.resolve_target("lan")

    reference_beam = DeviceFinder.from_options({"serial": "MYSERIALNUMBERISHERE"}) #Garage

    print("Before my_action")
    await my_action(lan_target, reference_beam)
    print("After my_action")
    return

if __name__ == "__main__":
    setup_logging(level=logging.DEBUG)
    collector = library_setup()
    collector.run_coro_as_main(doit(collector))

oh, I see what's happening.

We need to add something like this

photons/tools/generate_photons_messages/adjustments.yml

Lines 368 to 372 in a9a5ba4

    
               multi: | 
        
                 MultiOptions( 
        
                      lambda req: [MultiZoneMessages.StateZone, MultiZoneMessages.StateMultiZone] 
        
                    , lambda req, res: color_zones_response_count(req, res) 
        
                    )

but for the extended zone state messages

So that photons knows it can receive more than one reply.

I'm pretty slammed by work atm, I'll see when I find time to take a look.
