Adding support for Osram Dynamic Presets?

GuyPaddock · January 15, 2017, 2:54pm

For Christmas, we got a few Osram Lightify A19 RGBW bulbs and a Google Home over Christmas, but were missing the hub. We ended up getting the Osram Gateway and playing with that for a bit; then we realized that SmartThings is where all the fun is. So, now we have Home talking to the SmartThings v2 hub which talks to the lights.

One feature that we noticed is missing from the SmartThings device profile is “Dynamic Presets” or “Dynamic Scenes”. For example, “Fireplace” causes the lights to flicker between various shades of red and orange to simulate a fire, while “Candy” cycles through various shades of green, purple, and blue. Some of the presets aren’t very convincing (the fireplace one I actually don’t care for), but it’s neat that you can apply them or define your own to make the bulbs a bit more dynamic.

Based on the way it works, it seems like the bulbs actually handle the animation directly (i.e. the preset is uploaded to the bulbs for execution) so that the controller isn’t tied up having to constantly adjust the values on each bulb. I suspect that the way this works is proprietary to Osram and does not necessarily neatly fit into the Zigbee standard.

Regardless, if I enable detailed logging on the Osram Android app, I learn several things:

Osram is using an API provided by Arrayent (endpoints are at https://na-srmprod02-api.arrayent.com:8081/zdk/services/zamapi/).
In cloud-only mode, the app interacts with the bulbs by writing key-value pairs via Arrayent’s setMultiDeviceAttributes2 RPC method (http://developer.arrayent.com/developer-apis/acc-apis/acc-customer-operations/#setMultiDeviceAttributes2).
The more advanced presets require RGBW firmware version 1.2.4.12 (01020412).
The default presets come from a JSON file – curves.json – that ships with the app. The preset values get encoded into hexadecimal values that are then base64-encoded into a “ColorDimming” device action.

Here’s a sample preset:

Any thoughts on how we might be able to send this type of action over Zigbee through Smart Things?

Lgkahn · January 15, 2017, 5:26pm

its possible you can send hue, sat and level through the smartthings api. I do in my gardenspot app… but I don;t belive they have an option for the time parameter so dont think it will work.

we would need lower level programming to be able to do that.

What I’m wondering is if perhaps the bulbs expose a different profile for control of the animation.

Another question: do Zigbee devices support a generic Key-Value Pair mechanism for configuration? If so, I’m wondering if Osram is using that type of functionality to push these animations.

I would think you could tie the automaton with a Virtual switch through Core.

Hey guys, have you had any luck figuring this out? I’d love to be able to trigger this via ST.

Sticks18 · May 25, 2017, 11:32am

These presets aren’t baked into the bulb or zigbee. They’re a defined set of color values that are triggered at specific time intervals via the Lightify controller. You could replicate them if you knew what colors and for how long, but ST isn’t the best at making sub-60sec commands due to the cloud latency.

Maybe Lightify will open their API and then we could get those functions via a cloud-to-cloud integration instead.

Looks like this thread provided the driver that comes the closest to having full presets:

[UPDATED] Osram Lightify RGBW A19/BR30 US version (HA) DTH Community Created Device Types

Intended for the US HA version. May work with the European ZLL version, but not tested. Implements: Custom On/Off dim duration (in preferences) Custom dim duration for level change (in preferences) Custom duration for color transition (in preferences) Pulse (aka ZLL breathe) and blink (custom commands) Color loop/cycle UI enhancements Updated 6/6/17: set default color/level code by @ranga To set default initial (power-on) color/level: set your preferred color/level wait for a few seconds, then tap the Set Default tile wait 3-5 minutes for the process to complete (do NOT switch off or change any settings during this time) the main (on/off) tile will turn orange with “WAIT” status during this period; if it does not reset after 3-5 minutes, tap the refresh tile after that, you can try…

Using that, I’m able to transition the colors a lot more gradually using CoRE.
