RGBW control over optimization

#1

I’m controlling a virtual RGBW device with WebCoRE. WebCoRE avoids unnecessary commands to devices. If it knows a light is already on, it does not send an on command. RGBW devices have an internal color mode state. The state can be either CT or RGB. From what I have gleaned, the state changes to CT when color temperature is adjusted. The state changes to RGB when hue or saturation is adjusted.

Consider the following scenario:
1/ Set level to 100 - device turns on
2/ Set color temperature to 2700 - device in CT mode
3/ Set hue to 0 - device in RGB mode
4/ Set color temperature to 2700 - device should be in CT mode

In step 4, WebCoRE recognizes that color temperature was previously set to 2700 and does not send the set color temperature command to the RGBW device. The device remains in RGB mode when the desired mode is CT.

#2

would need to see full logs for when you run this.

I see in the code command optimization is not done for setColorTemperature …

#3

I’ve made a test piston and the logs indicate the calls to the device are being made. The device doesn’t always change mode based on a hue or CT parameter change. Perhaps this is a bug in the Hubitat virtual RGBW driver code.
