Light / Dimmer not working until used in composer


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have come across this weird issue that happens on initial boot up. The lights does not work. And the way to get them working again is even more weird.
Where you have to go into composer, open the light which then is shown with grayed out fields. Then close the window, then open the light again now the light is showing functioning buttons. And starts working from app etc.

There is also another weird problem with tracking. The light scene tracking does not work before you have again gone into the light and done a manual random "set value". If you activate a light scene it will not show as active before you have done this. Its only after this is done that tracking is working.

All of this is needed to be done on all lights/dimmers before they work/track after a reboot. The drivers is v2 proxy, but they do control an external system lighting.

Anyone with any idea on why this is? Especially input from people working with driver creation would be nice.

 

This is how a dimmer looks like after opening the driver window.

Closing and opening the same dimmer will now show values. But you need to do a random "set level" before tracking will start working.

Sounds like a bad driver 

Probably need more work. But any idea on what can be wrong and what part that needs a better look?
