Color Set

[bon-the-one]

Hi Aymkdn,

Nice code in tuyacloud-php, and can set brightness, power for a bulb. How can I set a color though please? It is not documented?

Thanks,
Bon

Check

tuyacloud-php/TuyaCloud.php

Line 147 in 595c371

* -> "colorSet" (value is hsv_color)

You should be able to use colorSet. I don't use it and I'm not at home this weekend. So try to investigate on your side, and let me know. If you don't understand what to do, I'll try to help you on Tuesday.

Hi Aymkdn,

Thanks for reply, have a good weekend!

I'm experimenting with HSV values but none change the bulb. I think it's the format I'm sending the request in, but there is no error trapping, so I'm shooting in the dark. Have sent many different format values before bothering you, and am now stuck!

Tuesday is no prob if you have a chance to experiment then,

Thanks,

Bon

I don't have a lightbulb, but based on https://github.com/PaulAnnekov/tuyaha/blob/5c47ce40062ab388af994299d6cf63c4add4f899/tuyaha/devices/light.py#L145-L154:

        hsv_color = {
            "hue": color[0] if color[1] != 0 else 0,  # color white
            "saturation": color[1] / 100,
        }
        if len(color) < 3:
            hsv_color["brightness"] = cur_brightness
        else:
            hsv_color["brightness"] = color[2]
        # color white
        white_mode = hsv_color["saturation"] == 0

And based on https://github.com/PaulAnnekov/tuyaha/blob/cd9baa85052028fdcf6f1ed222fb6f188016cd06/tuyaha/devices/light.py#L156:

   if self._control_device("colorSet", {"color": hsv_color}):

It seems the hsv_color format should be a JSON object (see this issue for some examples):

{
  "color": {
    "hue":40,
    "saturation":255,
    "brightness":255
  }
}

Then the command might be:

$tuya->setState([
  "name" => "lightbulb 1",
  "command" => "colorSet",
  "value" => [
    "color" => [
      "hue" => 40,
      "saturation" => 255,
      "brightness" => 255
    ]
  ]
]);

But I think it won't work (based on this example).

If it doesn't work, then try to replace

tuyacloud-php/TuyaCloud.php

Line 184 in 595c371

"value" => $value

with:

        "color" => $value

And then call it with:

$tuya->setState([
  "name" => "lightbulb 1",
  "command" => "colorSet",
  "value" => [
    "hue" => 40,
    "saturation" => 255,
    "brightness" => 255
  ]
]);

Please, let me know the result of your tests and I'll update the file based on your feedback.

Just looked at this, but adding "color" => $options['color']' into the tuyacloud.php, then passing in color with the 3 values worked. May try and make a PR

[Aymkdn]

OK Great! I'll modify my code by the end of the week!

[Aymkdn]

I've just published a new version: can you try it, please?

It will check if the command is colorSet and in that case it will use color instead of value in what is sent to the server. Also I've added some additional info in the "documentation".

So if you try the below with the new version, it should work:

$tuya->setState([
  "name" => "lightbulb 1",
  "command" => "colorSet",
  "value" => [
    "hue" => 40,
    "saturation" => 255,
    "brightness" => 255
  ]
]);

As well as:

$tuya->setState([
  "name" => "lightbulb 1",
  "command" => "turnOnOff",
  "value" => 0
]);

Hello,
I've a problem to set brigtness on my dimmer. On/Off works fine. But "colorset" doesn't.

$tuya->setState([ "name" => "PV Dimmer", "command" => "colorSet", "value" => [ "brightness" => 10 ] ]);

[Aymkdn]

Did you try to define all hue, saturation and brightness?

$tuya->setState([
  "name" => "PV Dimmer",
  "command" => "colorSet",
  "value" => [
    "hue" => 40,
    "saturation" => 255,
    "brightness" => 255
  ]
]);

[hochland123]

Yes, but also no function. A dimmer has no hue and saturation.

I moved your issue to there: #13

What does it mean?
