Controllerx: [FEATURE REQUEST] Support for color/color_temp values from mqtt

[ashp8i]

Feature Request

I would like to be able to map color / color_temp values published from mqtt, also can you confirm if action groups from mqtt are supported

using the following yaml:

```bedfullremote:
module: controllerx
class: LightController
controller: zigbee2mqtt/Ashish-Full-Remote/action
integration:
name: mqtt
action_group: 16388
light: light.ashish_room_lamp
mapping:
"on": toggle
"off": toggle
brightness_down_click: click_brightness_down
brightness_down_hold: hold_brightness_down
brightness_down_release: release
brightness_up_click: click_brightness_up
brightness_up_hold: hold_brightness_up
brightness_up_release: release
color_temperature: *(color_temperature_value)
color: *(color_xy_value)

• Denotes new feature request

Hi @ashp8i,

The feature to use the action_xy_color and the action_color_temp is possible, however, it needs to be configured by controller. However, I have seen this type of request quite often, so I will start factoring out to the LightController, so anyone can use this in the YAML mapping. However, which controller are you using that fires the xy_color and color_temp?

Regarding the action groups, you can use action_group the way you are using it to indicate which action group you want to listen. However, I just realised that it just parses lists, so your yaml should be like:

example_app:
  module: controllerx
  class: LightController
  controller: zigbee2mqtt/Ashish-Full-Remote/action
  integration:
    name: mqtt
    action_group: [16388]
  light: light.ashish_room_lamp
  mapping:
    "on": toggle
    "off": toggle
    brightness_down_click: click_brightness_down
    brightness_down_hold: hold_brightness_down
    brightness_down_release: release
    brightness_up_click: click_brightness_up
    brightness_up_hold: hold_brightness_up
    brightness_up_release: release
    color_temperature: *(color_temperature_value)
    color: *(color_xy_value)

I will fix this, so you can add just the action group individually without a list if needed. In your example, if the controller fires an action group different from 16388, it will not fire the action that carries with it. So the mapping will just work if the action group is 16388.

Hope it helps, and I will leave this request open to fix/add this feature request.

Also, could you show me the mqtt messages where the xy color and color temp is shown?

Thanks,
Xavi M.

Hi Xavi,

Thanks for your response, it's the Müller-Licht 404010 and I also have a Aurora AU-A1ZBR1GW and AU-A1ZBR2GW which also output color values

Hi @ashp8i,

The support for this controller has been added to a pre-release v4.6.0b0.

Could you please confirm that the support for Müller-Licht 404010 works as expected for z2m?

I added the following predefined actions:

• xycolor_from_controller: It reads action_color from the MQTT payload and uses it to change the color of the light.
• colortemp_from_controller: It reads action_color_temperature from the MQTT payload and uses it to change the color temperature of the light.

Thank you,
Xavi M.

[xaviml]

Also, if you want the Aurora devices to be supported by ControllerX, you can create a new ticket with the specification of the mapping in here.

Cheers,

[ashp8i]

Hi Xavi,

Thanks for your hard work, code looks to be doing the right thing but not quite there yet let me provide you with some logs, also could you help me to set highest output in logs, so we can get all the debugging info needed: -

Hi @ashp8i,

You can activate the debugging logs by placing log_level: DEBUG in your config, at the same level as module and class.

Also, the problem is that you set up the mqtt integration rather than the z2m one. So with the current config your config is listening only to zigbee2mqtt/Ashish-Full-Remote/action, but the action_color is in zigbee2mqtt/Ashish-Full-Remote for example. This is why, your config should be change to:

bedfullremote1:
  module: controllerx
  #  class: LightController
  class: MLI404011LightController
  controller: Ashish-Full-Remote
  integration:
    name: z2m
    listen_to: mqtt
    action_group: [16388]
  light: light.ashish_test_lamp
  mapping:
    "on": toggle
    "off": toggle
    brightness_down_click: click_brightness_down
    brightness_down_hold: hold_brightness_down
    brightness_down_release: release
    brightness_up_click: click_brightness_up
    brightness_up_hold: hold_brightness_up
    brightness_up_release: release
    color_temp: colortemp_from_controller
    color_wheel: xycolor_from_controller

And since you are now using the MLI404011LightController class and the mapping you defined is the default mapping for this controller, you can remove the mapping section, as well as the [ ] from action_group, so the following should also work:

bedfullremote1:
  module: controllerx
  class: MLI404011LightController
  controller: Ashish-Full-Remote
  integration:
    name: z2m
    listen_to: mqtt
    action_group: 16388
  light: light.ashish_test_lamp

Let me know if this works for you.

Regards,
Xavi M.

Hi Xavi,

Many Thanks for getting this working, the colour wheel works as expected also action groups now work discretely so all good few gotchas, cannot seem to use color_temp control and cannot work out how to control all lights when all three LED's lit

this is much better as I'm struggling to implement this in node-red got stuck at passing color values from z2m to tasmota

Many Thanks,

[ashp8i]

Apologies, figured out color_temp might not be mapped in the default template so this works now: -

bedfullremote1:
  module: controllerx
  class: MLI404011LightController
  controller: Ashish-Full-Remote
  integration:
    name: z2m
    listen_to: mqtt

  light: light.ashish_room_lamp
  merge_mapping:
    color_temp: colortemp_from_controller
  log_level: DEBUG

Regards,
Ashish

[ashp8i]

also noticed a brightness button issue the default mapping brightness_up_hold seems to be dimming overidding with

  merge_mapping:
    brightness_up_hold: hold_brightness_up

seems to do the trick

Many Thanks,
Ashish

[xaviml]

Hi @ashp8i,

I will add this to the default mapping, thanks!

also noticed a brightness button issue the default mapping brightness_up_hold seems to be dimming overidding with

Indeed, you are right, I mapped to dim, rather than bright up, thank you for reporting it back :)

Both changes will be reflected in the next stable release.

Sorry if this is not the right place to ask this, but if I try to use the config you posted here the remote doesn't work for me as opposed to not using "listen_to: mqtt". Am I doing something wrong?

Hi @CorePoint

Did you set up MQTT broker in appdaemon.yaml? You can see here how to do it in the Z2M section and MQTT one.

Regards,
Xavi M.

[CorePoint]

@xaviml
Oh sorry, I should have stated that I already set it up like this.
The only thing where I was not 100% sure was the namespace option as I didn't have set anything like that for z2m or mosquitto, so I used mqtt as it said in the example. Could the error lie there?

[xaviml]

Hi @CorePoint,

You did well, namespace should be "mqtt" so ControllerX can read from mqtt.

The logs you showed are the ones including when you are pressing the controller?

Could you please restart AppDaemon and share the logs when AppDaemon initializes? It should show in there the connection to MQTT.

Additionally, could you share the z2m logs when you press the controller?

Finally, you said that when not listening to mqtt, it works, right?

Regards,
Xavi M

Seems like the MQTT connection was successful. Yes it works when not listening to mqtt, but if I understood that right to use the color wheel it has to listen directly to mqtt right?

edit: Forgot to answer one of your questions. When I press a button nothing appears in the appdeamon log.

Hi @CorePoint,

Thank you for your answer. I see in the configuration you share earlier that the controller is namexyz. Not sure if you removed the name deliverately, but the correct value should be 0x00158d000361cf51. Is that the value you have tried?

Regards,
Xavi M.

[CorePoint]

@xaviml
Yep that's the value I have in there, I initially quoted your config and then thought I should just put the real config there, but left the name out.

[xaviml]

Hi @CorePoint,

Interesting.. could you install ControllerX v4.6.0 and see if it works with that version. I don't think that will do much, but at least we will make sure that no breaking changes were added. You have everything well configured, so I don't have anything else left to recommend you for now.

Make sure to restart AppDaemon after the downgrade.

Regards,
Xavi M.

[CorePoint]

@xaviml
Tried it with 4.6.0, same problem sadly. I will redo my whole Zigbee setup again soon anyway (new coordinator and device constellation) I will try it again after that.

Thank you anyway for your quick and friendly answers!

[xaviml]

No worries @CorePoint . Glad to help. I will investigate later the logs again on the computer and see if I missed something.

If you have more questions, I prefer that you open a new ticket, this way is less likely I forget about it.

Cheers,

[CorePoint]

@xaviml
Alright, thanks again for checking.
Yeah, if it doesn't work after re-setup I will open a new issue.

Greetings

[xaviml]

Hi @CorePoint,

I have checked the logs and compared them with mine, and I see everything the same as you do.. However, I come up with some questions for you to answer, and see if there are any differences between your setup and mine:

• Could you share your appdaemon.yaml? Remove or replace the sensitive data
• Where are you placing the configurations? /config/appdaemon/apps/apps.yaml?
• Is the symfonisk controller working as expected? Does it use the MQTT as well?

Regards,
Xavi M.

[CorePoint]

Sure @xaviml

secrets: /config/secrets.yaml
appdaemon:
  latitude: 1.1
  longitude: 1.1
  elevation: 1
  time_zone: Europe/x
  plugins:
    HASS:
      type: hass
    MQTT:
      type: mqtt
      namespace: mqtt
      client_host: 192.168.0.126
      client_user: mqtt
      client_password: ****
http:
  url: http://127.0.0.1:5050
admin:
api:
hadashboard:

Yes config is exactly in that location.

The Symfonisk controller is working, I'm using z2m with it, without the listen_to: mqtt.

[xaviml]

Hi @CorePoint,

Thanks for the input. Everything is exactly the same as my setup, and I am not able to spot any differences. There is one more thing that we could try, and I believe that is the problem... I bet your configuration looks like:

Tint:
  module: controllerx
  class: MLI404011LightController
  controller: 0x00158d000361cf51
  integration:
    name: z2m
    listen_to: mqtt
  light: light.desk
  log_level: DEBUG

I know you shared this before with me, but the key in here is the controller: 0x00158d000361cf51. YAML has some "gotchas" that are annoying if you don't know about then. For example, if you use the word 'on' without quoting it like ' "on" ', then it gets translated as True (the same with 'off'). In this case, if you put a number with the '0x', it will recognize it as a number (6066005707181905). You can copy&paste thie config from above in here, and you will see what I mean. Therefore, the solution is to quote the number with double quotes ("):

Tint:
  module: controllerx
  class: MLI404011LightController
  controller: "0x00158d000361cf51"
  integration:
    name: z2m
    listen_to: mqtt
  light: light.desk
  log_level: DEBUG

Not sure if this is the problem since you didn't share this exact configuration, but that could explain why no messages are shown in the logs, and the controller does not work.

Regards,
Xavi M.

[CorePoint]

@xaviml
Oh my, hahaha.
Yes it's working now. Not the first time that I had problems with YAML, maybe I should read a little bit more about it. :D

Thank you again for your help and patience!

[xaviml]

Glad you got it working! I normally rename my devices, so I have never encountered this before, but it is good to know for the future since the default device id in z2m is a hexadecimal number.

[CorePoint]

That's good that this problem surfaced something that could prevent future problems.
I just recently discovered that you could set friendly names directly in z2m, funny how that could've prevented the problem entirely.
