Artnet integration for home-assistant

Usage

Download artnet.py and put it in the 'custom_components/light' directory. If there is no 'custom_components' folder next to your configuration.yaml just create it with a subfolder 'light'.

Configuration

Add the following config to your light: configuration

- platform: artnet
  host: IP                              # IP of Art-Net Node
  max_fps: 25                           # Max 25 packages to ArtNet Node per second
  refresh_every: 120                    # Resend values if no fades are running every x seconds, 0 disables automatic refresh
  universes:                            # Support for multiple universes
    0:                                  # Nr of Universe (see configuration of your Art-Net Node)
    # output_correction: quadratic      # optional: output correction for the whole universe, will be used as default if nothing is set for the channel
      devices:
        # Dimmer
        - channel: 128                  # first channel of dmx dimmer
          name: my_dimmer               # name
          type: dimmer                  # type
          transition: 1                 # default duration of fades in sec
          output_correction: quadratic  # optional: quadratic, cubic or quadruple. Applys different dimming curves to the output. Default is None which means linear dimming
        # RGB
        - channel: 129
          name: my_rgb_lamp
          type: rgb
          transition: 1
        # RGBW
        - channel: 132
          name: my_rgbw_lamp
          type: rgbw
          transition: 1

Output correction

The graph shows different output depending on the output correction.

From left to right: linear (default when nothing is set), quadratic, cubic then quadruple

Quadratic or cubic results in much smoother and more pleasant fades when using LED Strips.
