Shuffle color

Hi folks,

Is it possible to shuffle a color with a rule?

Regards

Possibly. What works for sure is to randomize the color. Shuffling, i.e. switching to the next pre-defined color in a list of color values may be harder to achieve. Another possibility maybe to implement a color shuffle action for the given plugin.

Maybe you could set a variable to a random value by rule

That is what I’m doing

I’m using the hue-zll plugin:

Random:

When every 5 seconds and $disco = 1
Then set color of Wohnzimmer to hue random(0,100) saturation 100 transition time 5 seconds

Cycle:

When every 3 seconds and $disco = 2
then set $disco-hue = ($disco-hue + 5) and set color of Wohnzimmer to hue $disco-hue saturation 100 transition time 3 seconds
//Wraparround
When $disco-hue >= 100 and $disco = 2
set $disco-hue = 0

@thex cool! But didnt work with dhe dummy-led device

@n3ro did you already figure it out? I also want to try this at home

As part of pimatic-milight-reloaded you can use the disco modes provided by the Milight bulb contoller

• milight set effectMode {device} [ mode {mode [1-9]}] supported with v6, only!
• milight set effectNext {device} [ count {times} [ delay {milliseconds} ]]

Also note, primatic provides a hexString formatting function which allows for generating random RGB hex strings, e.g.
hexString(random(0,16777215), 6, "#").

Unfortunately, a bug slipped in causing the input number to be zeroized. This will be fixed with the next release of pimatic. EDIT: Released pimatic@0.9.42 which fixes the issue

Wow you guys rock! Thanks! I will try it out

@mwittig after the pimatic update the hex generator works perfect! One more question at this moment it is not possible to set the milight color with a variable. Is this hard to add it to the plugin
