Informational: Unhandled light messages

[zagnuts]

I had - what I thought was - a brilliant idea. Use the bluetooth app for the chlorinator to get it to change speeds on the pump and see what gets broadcast. I know that the commands will be different from those sent by the IG (Internet Gateway) that the ESP32 is pretending to be, but thought that it might give some pointers.

So got onto the chlorinator and turned the pool light on, changed colour to all the different colour options, and turned it off again. The results were:

Note - as an aside, when changed using the IG or Touch Screen the light status (on/off/auto/colour/pattern) is correctly identified in json just not reflected in HA within the device attributes other than on/off. State is either on (when on) or off (when off or auto), and attributes are currently when off or auto:

supported_color_modes: onoff
color_mode: null
friendly_name: Pool Controller 1A5810 Pool
supported_features: 0

and when on:

supported_color_modes: onoff
color_mode: onoff
friendly_name: Pool Controller 1A5810 Pool
supported_features: 0

with no change if the colour changes

FWIW As the colours are actually effects, have created an entry in my configuration.yaml to parse the details for now eg:

mqtt:
  light:
    - name: "Pool"
      unique_id: pool_light_1
      state_topic: "pool/pool_NKNYC6JR20/light/1/state"
      state_value_template: "{{ value_json.state }}"
      payload_on: "On"
      payload_off: "Off"
      command_topic: "pool/pool_NKNYC6JR20/light/1/set"
      json_attributes_topic: "pool/pool_NKNYC6JR20/light/1/state"
      effect_state_topic: "pool/pool_NKNYC6JR20/light/1/state"
      effect_value_template: "{{ value_json.color }}"
      effect_command_topic: "pool/pool_NKNYC6JR20/light/1/color/set" 
      effect_list:
        - "Blue" 
        - "Magenta"
        - "Red" 
        - "Orange"
        - "Green"
        - "Cyan" #in json status "Cyan" & mqtt as "Cyan". May be referred to as Aqua by Astral
        - "White"
        - "User1" #in json status "User1", but reported in mqtt as "color": "Unknown"
        - "Pattern" #in json status "Pattern", but reported in mqtt as "color": "Unknown"
        - "Rainbow" #in json status "Rainbow", but reported in mqtt as "color": "Unknown"
        - "Ocean" #in json status "Ocean", but reported in mqtt as "color": "Unknown"
        - "Disco"

Oh, and to change the colour of the lights, need to use a template eg:

- select:
    - name: "Pool Light Colour"
      unique_id: pool_light_colour_selector
      icon: mdi:palette
      state: >
        {% set current = state_attr('light.pool', 'effect') %}
        {% set valid_options = ['Blue', 'Magenta', 'Red', 'Orange', 'Green', 'Cyan', 'White', 'User1', 'Pattern', 'Rainbow', 'Ocean', 'Disco'] %}
        {{ current if current in valid_options else 'Blue' }}
      options: >
        {{ ['Blue', 'Magenta', 'Red', 'Orange', 'Green', 'Cyan', 'White', 'User1', 'Pattern', 'Rainbow', 'Ocean', 'Disco'] }}
      select_option:
        - action: light.turn_on
          target:
            entity_id: light.pool
          data:
            effect: "{{ option }}"

....oh, well in theory that's how it should work. At the moment I'm not sure that colour changes are being accepted yet! :-)

Just checked mqtt_commands.c and yeah, just on/off/auto for now. No matter. Something for future me to worry about.
