Super Dimmer

---

After our own development and after reading some topic , I would say that there pimatic lagging behind the rest .

As a developer (beginner) , and I’m probably not the only one , I would appreciate an helpful module or direct implementation in pimatic .
For example johnny-five module and implementation LED array or RGB array.
@mwittig btw, your implementation expanders - PCA9685 works like a charm :+1

Super Dimmer (just a suggestion) should be able to the following:
Adjustable number of channels .
Their associations in the RGB array or LED array.
Adjustable bandwidth.
Pick colors .
Adjust brightness.
On and Off status.
Fade, but only for a wired connection. For wireless seems to me better smart unit that it procures herself .
CIE1931 correction.
I’m also thinking how to control digital LED Strip.

What to agree and commit such a thing? There would have wanted more collaboration, see the excellent pimatic-led-light module. I’ve learned here many. Thanks @philip1986.

Sorry for my English.

Edit: I would very much appreciate if such a thing came to be.
As a developer, a beginner can not do it himself .

By fading you mean like 0% to 100% in 10 seconds or something?

With pilight you can have rules like this:

Dim dimmer1 to 50% in 5s

Would be Nice to have. Hue lights do also have this support.

@sweebee Yes, exactly. As in my module pimatic-piblaster.

@sweebee Thanks for the positive feedback on pimatic-johnny-five expander support

I am currently working on a LED device abstraction for pimatic-johnny-five which can be used to control RGB strips . As part of it I am planning to provide a new device driver for pimatic-led-lights which then will interact with an LED device of pimatic-johnny-five.

I haven’t thought about controlling arrays, yet. Your Super Dimmer sounds like a great idea. May be you can create some sketches (just drawings or perhaps some rapid prototyping stuff)? This will be great!

Quick sketch. Under the hood, it is important.
