MagicHome Nodes configure...?

General
1

I have RGBWW Wifi Controler from MagicHome. I can control these with the app, GoogleHome and openHAB. That works very well !.

For Node Red I installed "node-red-contrib-magic-home-local" and configured the correct device in each node.

But, only the "on / off" node can be switched ON and goes OFF again after a few seconds.

Debug shows the following:

"on/off" Node,

{"payload":true,"input":{"_msgid":"3b7db03f.35101","topic":"","payload":true},"_msgid":"15789ffa.2b289"}
{"payload":true,"input":{"_msgid":"6d9146b4.b5a1d8","topic":"","payload":false},"_msgid":"44f4fade.7ee104"}

"status", only returns "false" when debugging

{"payload":{"type":4,"on":false,"mode":"color","pattern":null,"speed":90,"color":{"red":255,"green":255,"blue":255},"warm_white":0,"cold_white":0},"input":true,"_msgid":"fdd752e2.51652}
{"payload":{"type":4,"on":false,"mode":"color","pattern":null,"speed":90,"color":{"red":255,"green":255,"blue":255},"warm_white":0,"cold_white":0},"input":false,"_msgid":"da81cf32.e9b0}

"rgb/ww/cw" only "true"

{"payload":true,"input":{"_msgid":"f9fc0a6f.177448","topic":"","payload":true},"_msgid":"5609a756.fc2c58"}
{"payload":true,"input":{"_msgid":"d1363d51.22e59","topic":"","payload":false},"_msgid":"d710e093.7827e"}

"pattern" also just "true"

{"payload":true,"input":{"_msgid":"d41cce3c.5d5ac","topic":"","payload":true},"_msgid":"5ab119a7.83f5a8"}
{"payload":true,"input":{"_msgid":"6dd4f02.8f1aa1","topic":"","payload":false},"_msgid":"c8c863ae.6bc7e"}

My first question: how do I have to switch the nodes so that they switch "true" and "false"?
My second question: how can I change RGB, warm_white and cold_white?

If I use a "function" node, I always get an error message:

"SyntaxError: Unexpected token {"

Content of my "function" node:

msg.payload=color {"red":255,"green":0,"blue":0"}
return msg;

Thanks for reading and have a healthy week ...

Which contrib node are you using?

msg.payload.color = {"red":255,"green":0,"blue":0}
return msg;
3

I use the "node-red-contrib-magic-home-local"
https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-magic-home-local

Thanks, there are no more error messages.:wink:

4

There is no info on that page , do you have a link to a where you got the payload object examples?

5

Unfortunately I couldn't find any further information either, hence my problem ...
If you mean my payload examples, they are from my debug node as shown in the screenshot.

6

Try setting
msg.payload.power to true or "on" for the on/off node

7

if I understand you correctly, I have switched a "function" node ...
But even with "false" a "true" is sent as payload as you can see in the picture ... Or did I understand that incorrectly?
Thank you

msg.payload.power = "true"
return msg;

msg.payload.power = "false"
return msg;
8 
msg.payload.power = true;

Or just use a inject node for testing.

[{"id":"1bee0cfe.53dbc3","type":"inject","z":"7760f563.ea0324","name":"","props":[{"p":"payload.power","v":"true","vt":"bool"},{"p":"topic","vt":"str"}],"repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"topic":"","x":200,"y":660,"wires":[["25b822ea.62d8f6"]]}]

Also could you copy the values from the second screenshots top item. and post please.

I have adapted the code of the "function" node. But the result is just as negative as before :frowning:

{"payload":true,"input":{"_msgid":"f593f1b1.a2f0e","topic":"","payload":true},"_msgid":"356c361.d01fdca"}
{"payload":true,"input":{"_msgid":"6718c666.dfbbc8","topic":"","payload":false},"_msgid":"5387cdcf.2ac954"}

I just think the nodes are still in beta and have to be developed!
Do you know another way to use MagicHome LED Stripes in NodeRed?

10

You could open a issue ticket on github to ask for more info.

There are other magichome nodes, i have not tried them,

Hello,

I have already installed both contrib nodes. The UFO node has no pattern, but switches my LED stripes ...
So I'll use this one first.

Thank you for your help...
