[pimatic-tradfri] New Version 0.1.14 for new gateway firmware

---

IKEA has released a new gateway firmware. (1.2.42)
With this version, a new encryption handshake was added.
So I had to adapt my plugin.

Because backward compatibility is not guaranteed,
Please update the gateway and the tradfri plugin to version 0.1.14

Disable the plugin in the config. Then you can start pimatic and make an update.

    {
      "plugin": "tradfri",
      "active": false
    }

Or you can just delete the tradfri-plugin folder and pimatic will download automatically the new version.

Just updated… looks good, Thanks!

I’m relieved to hear that.

@kosta Thank you for the quick update. Now I’m able to control my lights again, since Ikea hasn’t checked their new app on older devices, I guess. On iPhone 4s i get a pane with new features, but no way to close or leave this. With the app i am not able to control the lights atm.

@kosta you little legend. My lights are back under control! Have a virtual pint on me!

Thx for the fast update. Works great again!
One question, why the plugin is declared as “compatibility unknown” by Pimatic?

@OrTiN that could be ignored.
My plugin doesn’t specify which version of pimatic it is compatible with.
I will change that in next release.

@kosta, Thanks for the quick fix!

@kosta Thank you for the quick fix!

It seems that there is something wrong with the colors, the gateway doesn’t seem to allow stepless colors anymore. If, for example, you want to set the color to 20 (from 0-100 range) it in fact sets the color to 12. This is the same within rules or within the web interface.

Did someone else experience the same behavior?

Edit: it does in fact seems to set the right color %, but the color % is shown wrong in pimatic. If you slide it to 20, it jumps back to 12, but it did set it to 20%. If you slide it to 25% it jumps back to 18% in pimatic.

20%->12%, 30%->23%, 40%->34%, 50%->45%, 60%->57%, 70%->68%, 80%->80%, 90%->91%.

offset: -8%, -7%, -6%, -5%, -3%, -2%, 0%, +1%

I think there is some kind of error in a formula for calculating the % reported back by the gateway.

This is likely introduced by v0.1.12, but I only noticed now as I upgraded from 0.1.11 to 0.1.14

@whatson i have the same problem … i will fix that

@whatson Hotfix 0.1.15 should fix this bug. I have also removed the compatibility warning.

Somtimes i get an error after starting pimatic. At this point pimatic is nearly started, but tradfri kills pimatic

I will try to retrace it.

@daice

version 0.1.16 is published.
I modified the plugin startup.
Please check if your error still occurs.

other:

• BUG FIX (#19)
• Reboot and pairing mode buttons for hub device
  The Gateway is for 30 seconds in pairing mode
• Floalt Support added

Auto discovery of the gateway at startup is implemented, but not active.
Because the mdns package needs a os-library and this will breake the update process.
I’m still searching a working plain js version.

When clicking the reboot button in 0.1.16 i get:

error [pimatic]: tradfriHub.setReboot is not a function

@hanss
I have the same
I fix it this evening.

hotfix 0.1.17 is published.
Error is gone.

I am unable to install pimatic-tradfri on my RPi3 due to acompile error of node-mbed-dtls@2.4.4:

../mbedtls/library/bignum.c: In function 'mpi_mul_hlp':
../mbedtls/library/bignum.c:1177:1: error: r7 cannot be used in asm here
 }

make: Leaving directory '/home/pi/pimatic-app/node_modules/pimatic-tradfri/node_modules/tradfri-coapdtls/node_modules/node-mbed-dtls/build'

What am I missing? How did you manage to compile node-mbed-dtls@2.4.4 on you RPis?

EDIT: Okay, I just saw the workaround you suggested in the github issue. I will try that. Thanks

I will release a new version soon.

Thanks, but your workaround works well.
