Can2Go/SSL to ULTI Dimmers

[LaurentCoene]

Following the articles a few weeks ago (), we wanted to see whether the theory would still work with dimmers.

Using the on/off clusters on the dimmers works perfectly. In order to use dimming, you need to use the Level Control cluster (0x0008).

The methods are very similar to the on/off cluster and specified in the ZCL document.

The tough piece is integrating the on/off cluster with the level control cluster and managing the asynchronous requests. While in the previous script, we were putting a delay in order to ignore the past read requests, this time we changed the architecture by counting the numbers of the requests for which we are still waiting a response and ignoring these responses if a command has been made.

This is just a draft script as it still requires testing and a good code review, but if anyone needs it, it should get you going.

Note that if you only wanted to do control or only wanted to do reading, the scripts works great. Both together gets a bit tricky and probably can be improved.

One last comment: these script only work with firmware 2.11 onwards from Can2Go.

Hope this helps! 🙂
