Esp-homekit-devices: Magic Home RGB - Transition very flickery

[Bene2103]

Some time ago I've tried RavenCore with the MagicHome controller but I wasn't satisfied.
Now I've tried HAA everything works pretty well but the transition from OFF <-> ON or when the Color or Brightness is changed is pretty flickery. If you set a color or brightness and stay there than its normal and not flickery.

In the video you can see:
RED -> GREEN -> Brightness change -> Brightness change -> RED -> OFF

My JSON is the one you provided in the wiki only with changed pins for the colors.

Is there anything I could do about that?

Thank you

What HAA version are you using?

im using 0.6.2

[RavenSystem]

Many thanks. I must fix it.

[RavenSystem]

Try v0.6.3.

[Bene2103]

You’re lightning fast!

Transitions are super smooth but there’s one more thing. Wenn turning on the brightness overshoots and gets a little bit down later.

It’s like this:
Turning on brightness Fades to 100%
Brightness 100% for 0.5sek
Brightness goes to 95%

I’ll take a video of this behavior when I’m back home.

Thank you!

[RavenSystem]

Can you try v0.6.4?

[Bene2103]

I tried 0.6.4 transitions are faster now but the brightness still overshoots

Thank you!

Found another bug maybe the are related together.
Setting blue at full brightness -> LED's are switched off an flashing. Red and green working fine.

[RavenSystem]

Try 0.6.5.

[Bene2103]

You nailed it!

Everything is working fine now.

Thank you very much

[RavenSystem]

Yeah!!!!!! Many, many thanks for your tests and videos!

Can you post your json to test on mine magic home rgb led controller?

[Bene2103]

It’s from the HAA template page in the wiki

{"c":{"b":[{"g":0,"t":5}]},"a":[{"t":30,"r":15,"g":13,"v":12,"b":[{"g":0}]}]}

You need to edit the gpio to your actual pinout

[mafyata]

I think mine is like your.
Thanks

Hmmm, I must change rgb colors in json , but can’t enter setup mode. I toggle 10 times on/off the led strip , but can’t see wifi HAA-.....

[mafyata]

Can I setup dummy switch for entering setup mode with single press of this dummy switch?

[Bene2103]

I don’t know exactly.

But I do it this way: press the HomeKit button more than 10 times keep pressing until the device gets unresponsive. Usually I press the button about 20 times. When the device is unresponsive you can connect to its access point HAA-XXXX

@RavenSystem
Is the logic 10 times pressing the button or is it 10 times toggle ON or OFF aka 20 time pressing the button?

[mafyata]

I tried 10 times, not 20.

[mafyata]

Now i tried 20 times , 25 times and nothing happens.
This is mine json:
{"c":{"b":[{"g":0,"t":0}]},"a":[{"t":30,"s":5,"r":5,"g":12,"v":13}]}

[mafyata]

I have many devices with ravencore , not haa because they are hardly accessible fisically. If I can’t enter setup mode without fisically access the devices I will not update to haa.
