Dimmers are not currently implemented in Domoticz. (I've no dimmer to test)

Please remove the comment in front of //$this->Debug('Devices',$this->devices) in the pmd/inc/api/domoticz/api_client.php (near line 216), load any page, and copy/paste me the result here.

soif · 2013-12-11T19:51:09Z

checkout the latest 'develop' branch. Domoticz dimmers should be recognized.

and may be commands might work (experimental). Please tell me if it works!

ghosmar · 2013-12-11T20:47:56Z

Dimmers are recognized and I can switch them on and off. Now we need a slider to set a level ....

soif · 2013-12-11T21:10:41Z

should be ther when you click on the white part of the button (where the level is shown)

ghosmar · 2013-12-11T21:13:39Z

This is what I get when I click on the white part (in Chrome and IE):

soif · 2013-12-11T21:42:30Z

enable debug in config or go to /utils/reset (this is certainly a cache issue)

soif · 2013-12-11T21:44:49Z

BTW I'll never fix any IE issue myself, so please make all your tests in Chrome, or any truly w3c compliant browser

soif · 2013-12-11T21:46:50Z

If it work, also please confirm that at 100, dimmers are totally FULL lighted

ghosmar · 2013-12-12T19:48:48Z

The sliders are working after cache clean. At 100% tge light are fully on. You can remove the "not working" part ...

soif · 2013-12-13T22:54:36Z

Could you please make intensive checks (I've no dimmers myself to test) that you can, dim, then switch OFF, dim again (automatically switch ON)...etc...

Its difficult to explain,but : Is the GUI working as expected : immediate correct behaviour and icon/display feedback when you click, or dim.

I want it to be perfect! We are making a GUI that even a child, A WIFE, or a grand mother would immediately understand... graphic design apart (at this time ...). It must be as convenient as a physical button.

ghosmar · 2013-12-17T18:41:24Z

I had finally had some time to test the dimmers. I see the following:

Problem 1:

Dimmer = ON (40 %)
Switch dimmer --> State = OFF (0 %)
Next screenupdate --> State = OFF (40 %)
Switch dimmer -> State = ON (100 %) but actual lamp is 40%
Next screen update -> State = ON (40%)

So after the screenupdate the correct screen is shown

Problem 2:

When setting a new level on the slider and clicking on the number the slider is removed
When clicking again on the number the slider shows the previous value

soif · 2013-12-17T18:42:02Z

FYI I do need your feedback to on #1 and #3 to release v0.134 !
Please report ASAP !

pepijng · 2013-12-18T10:11:17Z

The only problem i experienced:
When turning the dimmer On it displays 100 but after the screen update it get's its (last)value from the API and shows the correct value. The same occurs when turning the dimmer off, it goes to 0 and after it updates it shows the value in the API.

The API behaviour is normal because 433Mhz is one way you cannot request the dimmer state or value direct from the dimmer hardware. That's why it is stored in Domoticz and passed in the API.

So that's why for example you receive a value of 40 when the dimmer is turned off.

soif · 2013-12-18T10:44:28Z

It may have something in common with the way I internally scale the Dimmer value.
Could you please provide me 3 dumps (/devices?dump) of a dimmer device after changing its value in Domoticz (not from PMD):

When the dimmer is at 0% (Off)
When the dimmer is at 100% (Full On)
When the dimmer is at 50%

Then the same 3 Dump, but while changing the value From PMD (using the SLIDER only)

When the dimmer is at 0% (Off)
When the dimmer is at 100% (Full On)
When the dimmer is at 50%

Thank you for the feedback

soif · 2013-12-18T11:57:37Z

Please make PMD dimmers Dumps, with the latest develop branch (including commit 7a5d68f ). It should already be better!

remb0 · 2013-12-18T18:35:12Z

It works. but I use dutch translations and see as title: eettafel (not working) what is this not working?

soif · 2013-12-18T19:32:42Z

(not working) = Beta comment!

"It works" is not enought! I need a full report before releasing it ;-)

So please provide the asked Dumps, and/or make extensive tests and report results, like @ghosmar have done.
