New request: Hue Solo Lightstrip

[GerdRuetten]

Hi all,

@bramstroker thank you sooo much for this great integration!

I use the Philips Hue Solo Lightstrip (see: https://www.philips-hue.com/de-de/p/lightstrips-hue-solo-lightstrip/8720169326699).

This lightstrip have three models:

• 3 Meter (929003816902 / 8720169326637)
• 5 Meter (929003817002 / 8720169326699)
• 10 Meter (929003817102 / 8720169326750)

I use the 5 mtr modell, but how can i add this to powercalc?

TIA

Best regards
Gerd

It should wait 3 seconds between each measurements bij default, but in your logs it appears to be 10 seconds.
What does your .env look like?
Also I see your smart plug has very low precision. with only half a W precision (15.0, 16.0, 16.5).
All submitted measurements in the library have at least precision of 0.1W, so I'm not sure if I can approve this profile when being submitted to powercalc library.

But you can of course always use it locally as a custom profile. See here: https://docs.powercalc.nl/library/library/#custom-models

Should I set the TelePeriod to 1 sec in Tasmota?

[bramstroker]

I don't know tasmota firmware. But it seems the MQTT rate teleperiod is min 10 sec according to the docs.

So I don't think that could be changed. Powercalc measuretool wil wait until a new measurements comes in after it switches to a particular light setting.
So when it's only once per 10 seconds there is not something I can do and meausrements will take longer than normal.

Not sure about the precision. that would probably also be a setting in tasmota firmware, as I have a shelly plug S myself with normal firmware and that will report in 0.1W precision.

Hi,

ok i talk with the development from Tasmota

TelePeriod 10 is the minimum rate.
Then it just takes a little longer ... never mind

WattRes describe as "Power sensor resolution 0..3 = maximum number of decimal places"

I do a new measurement with WattRes = 3.

[GerdRuetten]

OK, i starting a new measurement ... think, this result are better

Yes that looks good! thanks for your efforts
