Is it possible to send simulated keypresses as a Hue dimmswitch with this plugin?

I know the question was brought up earlier in this thread but i can't seem to find a proper answer.
Is there a way to pass along payloads with the triggered event?

It seems like it works as intended!
We still need to 'use' a new device once, for it to populate the dictionary, right?

That would be great!

The latter functions with discovery of devices being added/removed while EG is running isn't that important, for me at least, but a nice feature indeed!

Aha!

It is for keeping track of the l dim levels. When I use your plugin it is mostly togheter with a mediacenter such as XBMC or Mediaportal.
The lights dim up a little bit when we press pause and back to previous levels when continuing the movie and so forth.
The dictionary is used when switching ...

Hmm...
You're right about the droplist, but my eg.plugins.TellStickDuo.plugin.dimDeviceData still contains the removed devices. Even after i selected a new device in the droplist and then 'dimmed' once with that.

However,If i enumerate a devicelist by opening the library, as in your code example ...

The eg.plugins.TellStickDuo.plugin.dimDeviceData doesn't seem to remove devices from the list if they are removed from the TelldusCenter.
Is that by design or a 'bug'?

Thank you for all the support, and sorry for a late reply. As far as the plugin goes, everything works like a charm. Now it really is down to my python skills wich are next to non existing. I've struggled a bit with the handling of dictionaries. Took a while to understand that i had to do a copy to ...

That looks good!
Can we have the dim levels in percent in some easy way?

Hmm, i know i need the names, its just that i cant retrieve them with the dictionary.
Your code given in the example above gives the exact same result as the one i made up before.

I'm trying to use the dictionary to store and later use the values for dim. Like a memory function.
Problem is i dont know how to use the device number that the dictionary uses?
your code for dimming "ALL_LIGHTS" device to 50% looks like this:


eg.plugins.TellStickDuo.Dim(u'ALL_LIGHTS', 50 ...

You are amazing!

In fact i am doing this for my livingroom but it is intended for an eventual future homecinema.

I've got the XBMC mediacenter (sending events to EG) and a pretty well working solution already.
As i am no coder, the solution is ugly with alot of disabling/enabling macros in EG and ...

I've managed to do a bit of testing and it does what it's supposed to do, as far as i can tell.
I could see a use for a way to syncronize the values of the different devices.
I tried to do that with the DIM action but the plugin ofcourse remembers the stored values when using the new action again ...

I will test this as soon as possible. Probably in the begining of this week. Thank you!

You got it perfectly right, your statements a,b,c matches the original thought!

About the issues,

1) Your suggestion is ok! But i have another thought. Maybe hard to implement but here goes:
If we only allow the devices to have a offset between eachother by max 100%?
The last device inside ...
