Lightwave RF Suport

[Bob Pugh]

Hi, Excellent job with hass.  I have Lightwave RF kit in my house and am looking to integrate it into Home Assistant.
I have some tests working with command_switch and the switches and relays work fine.
MQTT looks to be a better option as a comprehensive bridge and I have managed to cludge a quick and dirty solution for a dimmer but I cannot work out how to get the gui to display a brightness control, I assumed this would work if I used this type of definition:

light:
  platform: mqtt
  name: "Office Light RGB"
  state_topic: "office/rgb1/light/status"
  command_topic: "office/rgb1/light/switch"
  brightness_state_topic: "office/rgb1/brightness/status"
  brightness_command_topic: "office/rgb1/brightness/set"
  rgb_state_topic: "office/rgb1/rgb/status"
  rgb_command_topic: "office/rgb1/rgb/set"
  qos: 0
  payload_on: "ON"
  payload_off: "OFF"
  optimistic: false

The above produces a standard light card in the UI with a switch but no slider to set the brightness etc. 
(I am sending back office/rgb1/brightness/status messages)

As it stands my dimmer works by clicking the lamp switch UI multiple times to cycle through levels, but the UI is not very slick.
I assume the phillips hue component has the "correct" UI so the Polymer elements must be in there somewhere :-)
Have I missed something or is this a "future" item?
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

A brightness slider will be shown for a light if the state contains brightness. Have a look in the UI -> Developer tools -> States (<> icon) and look at your light entity.

It's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice.

Hi Bob,

I have lightwave integrated with my home-assistant. I created a lightwave.py file which sits in the lights components folder. It works great, with dimming etc.

I didnt use MQTT at all.

The code isn't a complete solution (you need to manually hard code the devices), but once you have it all works a treat. Let me know if the code is of interest to you.

Kind Regards,

Chirag

Hi Chirag

I would be interested in seeing your code to connect directly to Lightwave RF. How are you doing this - is it through RFXCom?

Thanks

Stuart
