pimatic-wakeuplight@0.0.1

---

I have just created a new plugin to expose two actions to the rule engine:

• fade in <dimmer_device> to <nn> % over <nn> [seconds, minutes, …]
• fade out <dimmer_device> to <nn> % over <nn> [seconds, minutes, …]

This allows for any dimmable Pimatic device to be used as a wakeup / sleep light, or during sunset/sunrise or what have you. Would even work with volume controls based on the dimmer device class.

As said, struggling with the 2FA @ NPM so please clone the GIT repo in your pimatic-app/node_modules directory and run npm install in pimatic-app/node_modules/pimatic-wakeuplight. Also add:

    {
      "plugin": "wakeuplight"
    }

to the plugins section of your config.json, and restart your Pimatic instance.

if you want to try it out: https://github.com/SenTzu01/pimatic-wakeuplight

Readme will follow.
Also will see if I can incorporate support for RGBW lights later.

Enjoy

@Dan
The plugin sounds very interesting. I have a few Ikea lamps that I control via a Conbee stick (ZigBee). These I would like to fade with this plugin. That would be really nice.
Unfortunately I can’t get it installed.
Is this path a typo?

pimatic-app/node_modules/pimatic-spotify

Shouldn’t it be called pimatic-wakeuplight?

I’m afraid I need more help for an installation.
Would be nice if you give me more info.

@thrusty Ooooops yea, its a typo. I copy-pasted from my other post. Of course you need to enter node_modules/pimatic-wakeuplight. I’ll update the post in a second.
Note that the rule syntax changed:
fade in|out <dimmer_device> to <nn> % over <nn> [seconds, minutes, …]

@Thrusty I quickly reviewed the code of pimatic-raspbee. wakeuplight should be compatible.

I use it against the pimatic-tradfri plugin, which works equally well!

Hello again,
I have read some more and tried some things.
I did the following directly in the destination folder: (/home/pi/pimatic-app/node_modules)
wget https://github.com/SenTzu01/pimatic-wakeuplight.git

git clone https://github.com/SenTzu01/pimatic-wakeuplight.git
And then again in the same folder:
npm install pimatic-wakeuplight

Everything seemed to have worked in the terminal.
Unfortunately not in the pimatic system. After the reboot no plugin was installed anymore. Neither on the pimatic web page nor in the file system.

I had no choice but to import a backup.

@thrusty Not sure why you needed to restore a backup…
The correct steps are:

1. Log in to your Pimatic server through SSH or terminal using user pi
   On the command line execute:

cd ~/pimatic-app/node_modules
rm -rf pimatic-wakeuplight
git clone https://github.com/SenTzu01/pimatic-wakeuplight.git
cd pimatic-wakeuplight
npm install

Then edit your ~/pimatic-app/config.json
Add the below in the plugins-section:

{
      "plugin": "wakeuplight"
},

• restart Pimatic
  (The comma after “}” is needed if there are other plugins listed after wakeuplight.)

I am working to publish on NPM after which the plugin should become available in the web frontend of Pimatic.

I have now added to NPM so the package should become available in the Pimatic web front end. Might take some 24 hours to sync though

It is now available in the plugins, thank you very much. I installed it and tried it. It works excellently, even with ZigBee devices. I use a few Philips Hue and Ikea Tradfri. Thank you for your efforts.

@thrusty Good to hear! That makes two users of the plugin Enjoy!

Thanks for the plugin … third user
