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.
