MMM Hue Lights is not updated

[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.

@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.

[JoeFranz]

@mumblebaj Ok, the good news, the module works, the lights are updated. :-)
But I can’t change the time for the update, so no matter what value I enter, it always stays at around 10 minutes. :-(
This is part of the current config, after 10 minutes the lights will be updated.

                        refreshTime: 60 * 1000,
                        lightsOrGroups: "groups",
			animationSpeed: 2 * 1000,
			showOnlyOn: false,

[mumblebaj]

@JoeFranz Ah, there was an error in the spelling. I have updated and pushed a change. You can pull it again and restart. It should work properly.
