LightwaveRF Wifi

[driver02]

Thankx James , I did exactly what you said , I copy the code and I made a newgroup and I paste in there , Also I check my Light if is on room 1 all ok but I have sitting room on room1 so I don't think is any difference important we have a swich on room1 , but the VC SAYS no connection

A log file would be required for us to see what you are actually doing and what is actually happening.  I can't imagine a scenario where VoxCommando would "say no connection".

I think it would be much easier to help you if I can come look at your computer using TeamViewer.

Oh Thankx james I give you my teamviewer Id      903 739 136    pass now or later

[jitterjames]

We got it working!

First we had to reboot the device because it was not responding.

then we sent this command to register:

Code Select Expand

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<!--VoxCommando 2.1.3.8-->
<command id="-1" name="Actions copied from LCB">
  <action>
    <cmdType>TCP.UDP.SendMixed</cmdType>
    <params>
      <param>169,!F*p</param>
      <param>9760</param>
    </params>
    <cmdRepeat>1</cmdRepeat>
  </action>
</command>

Then on the LightwaveRF Wifi controller device (the main box, not one of the switches) you much click the button for "yes"

then we are ready to start sending commands.  for example to turn Room 1 Device 1 ON

Code Select Expand

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<!--VoxCommando 2.1.4.3-->
<command id="662" name="Turn kitchen light on" enabled="true" alwaysOn="False" confirm="False" requiredConfidence="0" loop="False" loopDelay="0" loopMax="0" description="R1= Room 1&#xD;&#xA;D1 = Device 1&#xD;&#xA;F1 = On (F0 would be Off)">
  <action>
    <cmdType>TCP.UDP.SendMixed</cmdType>
    <params>
      <param>001,!R1D1F1|</param>
      <param>9760</param>
    </params>
    <cmdRepeat>1</cmdRepeat>
  </action>
  <phrase>Turn kitchen light on</phrase>
</command>

We could not get the dim command to work but that might be because we needed to use a capital P.

We were using Fdp but we should maybe be using FdP

You can try this:

To dim Room 1 Device 1 to 50% should be:

Code Select Expand

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<!--VoxCommando 2.1.4.3-->
<command id="675" name="Dim kitchen light to fifty percent" enabled="true" alwaysOn="False" confirm="False" requiredConfidence="0" loop="False" loopDelay="0" loopMax="0" description="R1= Room 1&#xD;&#xA;D1 = Device 1&#xD;&#xA;F1 = On (F0 would be Off)">
  <action>
    <cmdType>TCP.UDP.SendMixed</cmdType>
    <params>
      <param>001,!R1D1FdP16|</param>
      <param>9760</param>
    </params>
    <cmdRepeat>1</cmdRepeat>
  </action>
  <phrase>Dim kitchen light to fifty percent</phrase>
</command>

Thank you so much James and yes it does work to 50% ,so now if I want it for 75% all I have to do is change the number to 20 or something please ?

[nime5ter]

The range of values is from 0 to 32, so 75% would be 24.

x = (75/100)*32

More generally:

dim value = (desired %) / 100 * 32

[jitterjames]

Thanks.  Good to know it works with the capital P!

Yes you just use a number from 0 to 32

0 = 0%
8 = 25%
16= 50%
24 = 75%
32 = 100 %

and you can use any numbers in between if you want like 4 = 12%.

[driver02]

Yes James , It does work & I know you will  definite figure it  out

I don't know how to thank you ,  if you ever need my help in London please do not hesitate

I just start with home automation so please forgive me for taking your time James
