MMM Hue Lights is not updated

[JoeFranz]

@mumblebaj How can I display errors?

[mumblebaj]

@JoeFranz Depends on how you start your mirror. If you use npm start then you can check in the console window. If you pm2 then you can do pm2 logs and check the logs for any errors. You can also check the Developers Window, press Ctrl + shift + i keys together and check the console tab. You can filter by typing the module name in the filter box and check if there are any errors shown there. Or as suggested, you could give my module a try and see if that works for you.

[JoeFranz]

@mumblebaj No errors are shown anywhere :-(

[mumblebaj]

@JoeFranz Have you tried using my version?

[JoeFranz]

@mumblebaj I tried Mitch’s (https://github.com/MitchSS/MMM-Hue). That seems similar to yours. However, I have problems excluding individual rooms or zones using “hideGroupsWithString”. How do I enter multiple zones in the line?
"hideGroupsWithString: “Entertainment Area 1”, “Garden” doesn’t work. So I haven’t let it run for a long time and don’t know if it works. But I’ll try it :-)

[mumblebaj]

@JoeFranz Apologies, I cannot assist with that. Have no idea how his module works.

[JoeFranz]

@mumblebaj Ok, I installed it and am trying it out. However, I would like to exclude several groups in the line “hideGroupsWithString”. How do I enter multiple groups in the line?

[mumblebaj]

@JoeFranz That feature does not work on my module currently. I need to make time to implement.

[mumblebaj]

@JoeFranz I just had a quick look at the code and the way it works is that if you have the following list of lights, Room1, Room2, Kitchen, Garden, Workshop and you select the options :

 hideSpecificGroups: true,
 hideGroupsWithString: "Room"

Then it will exclude anything that contains the word “Room”. It does not cater for multiple input exclusions. I will see what I can do about that.

[JoeFranz]

@mumblebaj This is displayed when your module is installed, no lights… :-(
IP and userid are correct.

[mumblebaj]

@JoeFranz Show me your config please.

[mumblebaj]

@JoeFranz I am working on a fix now to exclude multiple Groups/lights. Will deploy an update shortly.

Below is my config and it works fine. It will only display lights that are on.

                {
                    module: 'MMM-PhilipsHue',
                    disabled: false,
                    position: 'bottom_left',
                    config:{
                        bridgeip: "bridgeip",
                        userid: "userid",
                        refreshTime: 10000 * 5,
                        lightsOrGroups: "groups",
                        animationSpeed: 2 * 1000,
                        showOnlyOn: true,
                        showLabel: true,
                        colour: true,
                        hideSpecificGroups: true,
                        hideGroupsWithString: ["Kitchen", "Den"]
                        }
                },

The fix should be ready in the next hour. Just busy testing it.

[mumblebaj]

@JoeFranz Fix has been deployed, You can now exclude multiple Groups

@JoeFranz PLEASE, ALWAYS code block around config info …

[mumblebaj]

@JoeFranz Please match your config with mine and it should work

[JoeFranz]

@mumblebajI
did it and it works :-)
Now let’s see how long the display takes to update.

Thank you

[mumblebaj]

@JoeFranz From my config it checks the status of the lights every 5 minutes.

You can change that at anytime in the config and restart your mirror for the change to take effect.

[JoeFranz]

@mumblebaj
Is that correct in your config 5x10000?
On your module page it says 60x10000

[mumblebaj]

@JoeFranz You can set it to any time interval in milliseconds you like. I.e. 60*1000 = 1 minute etc. You can workout from there how often you would like to refresh.
