Weird HUE light Issue

[MonsterIT]

 

trying to program a hue led strip as a  TV back light 

using hue driver on a 2.10 system , with in composer i can turn on/off the light but if i want to program it to turn the light when i  turn the TV on  it doesnt work , but if i press the execute button  it works .

 

i have it programmed the  inverse way when i turn off the tv and it works fine .

 

first pic is tu turn it on and doesnt work pic 2 is to turn it off and work great

 

i also tried to turn it on with the receiver to check if  the Tv was the issue but doesnt work 

 

 

any suggestions ?

Try creating a new variable for the tv power status.  Make it true when it powers on and false when off. Program the led to turn on or off in the new variable using IF statements

Have you tried other code when the Samsung TV turns on? Perhaps the driver is not firing this script.  If that is the problem, you can probably do something when the video source for the room changes?

Don’t do it off of the tv power, do it off of the room.
When video source changes
?if video source is cable
-> turn on light


Then do that for each source

all of these are wrong hehe

there is a room variable for power status has changed

throw in two conditionals when room is on / when room is off and your off to the races.
