add the device templates from the pimatic-raspbee plugin to the knownTemplates list

Answer 1 · 2019-02-25T22:51:00.000Z

I'd appreciate it if that happened.
thank you

Answer 2 · 2019-02-26T07:14:11.000Z

@treban did you check if the rasbpee plugin works if enabled?

Answer 3 · 2019-03-03T18:53:18.000Z

No. I'm not using the Hap-Plugin. Because I don't have iOS. But I will test it next week with a device.

Answer 4 · 2019-03-04T10:19:52.000Z

If you run MacOS Mojave, you can use HomeKit too

Answer 5 · 2019-06-17T21:15:53.000Z

any progress?

Answer 6 · 2019-06-17T21:24:17.000Z

@00lex Not yet, but you could do me a favour and add these templates to the supported templates list:

      'raspbee-dimmer': DimmerAccessory
      'raspbee-ct': DimmerAccessory
      'raspbee-rgb': DimmerAccessory

Just add these lines at https://github.com/michbeck100/pimatic-hap/blob/master/hap.coffee#L60, restart pimatic and see if you can switch and dim your lights.

Answer 7 · 2019-06-17T21:24:48.000Z

Please report back if the plugin works, then I will add them to the list "officially"

Answer 8 · 2019-06-17T21:43:45.000Z

Yes! Now I can see the bulbs in HomeKit but I can only switch them and change the brightness.
not the color

Answer 9 · 2019-06-18T06:38:38.000Z

Thats because they are just a DimmerAccessory. Since every plugin for coloured bulbs does the color calculation differently, I just added them as dimmers for now. I will check pimatic-raspbee can support more

Answer 10 · 2019-06-18T06:39:30.000Z

BTW: All devices with type RaspBeeSwitch should work OOB as switches

I know. until them I will use hue-zll plugin for bulbs which doesn't get an update since 2 years. for the moment its okay but I think raspbee is the future for a zigbee environment and pimatic.
if I can do something, say it. thank you for feedback

Answer 12 · 2019-07-04T14:36:57.000Z

i will implement two new functions on the raspbee side so the
HueLightAccessory could be used for RGB

Answer 13 · 2019-07-08T22:09:22.000Z

I have many different zigbee devices. Maybe I can do some tests if the changes are implemented.

Answer 14 · 2019-07-09T05:56:58.000Z

If you know how to install the latest master you can go ahead and test. Changes were implemented with b4e6efa. RGB lights will be next once @treban is ready.

Answer 15 · 2019-07-09T07:51:46.000Z

@scobby

the new raspbee version 0.1.0-beta.1 supports now HAP Integration with RGB capabilities
(and some more nice features) readme
maybe you can test it?

please install the beta from plugin-rasbpee and change the accessory for raspbee-rgb
manual install
sudo npm install --unsafe-perm pimatic-pluginname
inside your pimatic-app directory.

https://github.com/michbeck100/pimatic-hap/blob/master/hap.coffee#L60
'raspbee-dimmer': DimmerAccessory
'raspbee-ct': DimmerAccessory
'raspbee-rgb': HueLightAccessory

Answer 16 · 2019-07-15T09:14:50.000Z

@scobby the raspbee plugin is released in version 0.1.0 now. Did you test if the HueLightAccessory works for you?

Answer 17 · 2019-07-15T12:45:20.000Z

The result is the same as with 'raspbee-rgb': DimmerAccessory

white hue bulbs are 100% compatible
ambient white ist available, but without support for color temperature
color bulbs doesn't show up in HomeKit

Answer 18 · 2019-07-15T12:55:14.000Z

@00lex Make sure to restart pimatic. Maybe you even have to import your devices in the homekit app again. You could test this by creating a testing home first.

Answer 19 · 2019-07-15T13:22:03.000Z

got it! the discovery doesn't work correct. the auto recognition for color bulbs and light stripes recognizes RGBCT and it doesnt work show up in HomeKit. if I change Raspbee-RGBCT to Raspbee-RGB it works both kind of lights show up with full support :)

now we just need a fix for ambient-white bulbs

Answer 20 · 2019-07-15T13:26:19.000Z

I guess that's because the template name of Raspbee-RGBCT is raspbee-rgbct and not 'raspbee-rgb'. see https://github.com/treban/pimatic-raspbee/blob/master/raspbee.coffee#L1187

The Raspbee-RGBCT device might work too, just try to add another row with 'raspbee-rgbct': HueLightAccessory at https://github.com/michbeck100/pimatic-hap/blob/master/hap.coffee#L60

Answer 21 · 2019-07-15T13:33:47.000Z

gesagt, getan. the solution was obvious.
now with additional 'raspbee-rgbct': HueLightAccessory color things work.

the only open point is color temperature of ambient white bulbs. its not a big thing for me

Answer 22 · 2019-07-15T15:40:50.000Z

can you give me a hint how to set a color with rgbct?
with hue-zll I wrote set color of Paradieslicht to hue 12.85 sat 55

i don't understand why. the variables are nearly same:

Answer 23 · 2019-07-15T16:29:39.000Z

Not sure where you wrote that. I you are talking about the pimatic rules section, than you have to ask the developer of pimatic-raspbee (which is @treban I think)

Answer 24 · 2019-07-15T16:42:48.000Z

my rule is with hue-zll:
if PIR-x is present then set color of Paradieslicht to hue 12.85 sat 55
and I don't know how to translate this to raspbee. I will ask him. i've already bothered him enough :)

Answer 25 · 2019-07-16T10:25:49.000Z

Closing this as support was released with 0.12.0
