Help restoring previous state on LEDs

[Steveuk23]

Thanks for the help
i give up lol
i changed everything like you said but still no luck just staying on green
i’m starting to think it’s a issue with the device handler on my controller

[bangali]

one last try?

instead of capturing and restoring Color, capture and restore Color Temperature. leave the rest as is.

to be clear, i dont know your specific device and if it works with the device or the DH. but this might be worth one last try.

[Steveuk23]

i was going to try the color temperature but i don’t get the option for it

[bangali]

ok. either the DH doesnt expose it or the device doesnt support it.

if you dont mind trying 2 things:

1. logging the attributes values
2. instead of using local store define a device variable and save and restore from this device variable.

[Steveuk23]

ive just had a try but i’m not sure how you do either
i think ive created the variable right but not sure how you link it to the capture and restore states
and sorry i dont know how to log the variables im still quite new to this.
Thanks

[bangali]

take a look at the capture and restore in this example and the corresponding device variable saveLight that is defined at the top of this piston:

Who came home - notification by color

heres a piston that notifies who came home by using color. if more than one person arrives within seconds of each other it will rotate through the colors assigned to each of those presence sensors. it works nicely for my wife when she is in the kitchen and does not otherwise hear us coming back.

Wooh must admit most of that is beyond me
but i will give it a go tomorrow when i can get my head around it getting late here (UK)
one thing i did notice on that is you capture the attributes on a separate “with” to the restore shall i separate mine?
And noticed on mine it says after the capture “Only if store is empty” but yours doesn’t say whys that.
Thanks for all your help

[bangali]

ehh, if you look through it a bit i am sure you will figure it out.

ok.

no that was just the flow for my piston.

yeah, i was thinking about that. lets remove that for now. just dont hold on to the button multiple times within seconds of each other, so the captured valuea do not get overwritten.

[bangali]

import this one and try:

[Steveuk23]

Thanks for all your effort with that pal…
But that didn’t work either stays green all the time.
Maybe it’s like you say it’s the device not allowing it I’ll try and contact the guy who wrote the firmware to see his thoughts.

[bangali]

sure thing. sorry to hear. mind if i ask, what is the brand of the bulb?

[Steveuk23]

It’s not a bulb it’s a RGB controller (H801) for my LED step lights.
I flashed it with SmartThings firmware which works great.
There is a setting in the Smartapp to restore previous state on boot so it must remember.

Sorry about the late reply I got a message saying reached maximum posts for a new member lol

[bangali]

ok. if you dont mind my asking the obvious, did you import the piston i posted or modify the one you had, for the last try?

[bangali]

also, would you try this one please and post the log output?

[Steveuk23]

Hi sorry been in bed night time here
Yeah I imported your piston , I’ve just imported that piston but can’t test it till later now as I’m in work
Thanks

[bangali]

hey, no worries, all of us have to sleep and work.

[Steveuk23]

Just tried that latest one and it didnt work either
I did notice though after the 10 second wait the light flickered but stayed green and also if the lights are off when the piston runs it will flash green then turn off as it should its only when the lights are on it doesn’t work properly.

[bangali]

hmm … do you have the log output? what were the values?

[Steveuk23]

From what i can make out it seems to run and do what it should i can’t see any errors

thanks. now please turn off logging and lets see the values printed from these statements:
