Fixes#713 Room and basic color (especially limitless/milight) support enhancement
"Extended color light" isn't used anymore for all devices without thinking about it. It will now automatically differentiate between Color and Dimmable light by the following logic:
1. If it's Philips Hue passthru look at the state: if it contains the attribute "colormode" it's a Extended color light, otherwise it's a Dimmable light.
2. If it's no passthru it's a dimmable light if the colorUrl has no content.
I didn't use On/Off light because i disovered that a) the hue app treats these exactly the same as dimmable light, you can still "change the brightness" and b) the amazon echo doesn't find these lights without the skill
I also enhanced the filter options in the web ui.
You have a textbox "Show devices visible to". You can fill in an ip-address and there will only be devices displayed that a) have the ip address in the requesterFilter or b) don't filter by requester.
If you tick the checkbox "Must contain filter" option b isn't used. This means also if you check the box with no ip address in the textbox only devices without request filter will be shown.
Also there is a filter by device type.
All these 3 filter options will be remembered as long as the browser tab is closed.
So the groups are now somewhat usable with an Amazon Echo. This is a bit of a workaround:
The group gets presented to the Echo as another fake light. For that to work you must manually enable this feature for every room by adding "exposeAsLight":"192.168.0.30" to the room in group.db (restart ha-bridge afterwards). Use the ip-address of your echo. No need to do that for other devices, because these can handle rooms directly. The fake light for the group will only be shown/usable to the specified ip-addresses.
Fixed some minor bugs related to groups.
I implemented basic color capabilities. Extended ColorDecode.java to handle xy and ct values. Implemented the call to replaceColorData in various homes (command, http, tcp, udp).
Additional to color.r, color.g, color.b which return the color value in 0-255 there is also a value replacement "color.milight".
The usage for that is as follows: udp://ip:port/0x${color.milight:x} where x is a number between 0 and 4 (0 all groups, 1-4 specific group). The group is neccessary in case the color turns out to be white. The correct group on must of course be sent before that udp packet.
Note that milight can only use 255 colors and white is handled completely separate for the rgbw strips, so setting temperature via ct with milight does something but not really the desired result.
I implemented full api support for rooms. That means:
- Create/Modify/Delete rooms/lightgroups
- Get information about group list / individual group
- Group actions: Change lighting for the whole group (except setting scenes, because scenes are not implemented in ha-bridge right now)
For now the rooms/groups can only be configured through the api and apps, it's not visible/changeable through the web gui.
Additional to on/off/dim items i added color items. The colorUrl gets executed if a PUT is received with xy/ct/hue/sat in the body. Also changed the emulated bulb type to "Extended color light".
Added "Change Editmode" button in the editdevice screen. Switch between manual JSON edit and the tabular variant. Local unsaved changes in one mode carry over to the other. Through this edit variant it's possible to change the order of items and do copy/paste.
