Light (Expert)
Require: IP-Symcon >= 5.0
Description
Devices of the type Light (Expert) describe lamps whose properties within multiple variables can be switched independently.
Parameter
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Name that is used to address the device via Amazon Alexa |
| Switch Variable | A triggerable variable of type Boolean, that switches the light on or off |
| Brightness Variable | A triggerable variable of type Integer or Float that dims the light (optional) |
| Color Variable | A triggerable Variable of type Integer with the profile ~HexColor, that triggers the color of the light (optional) |
| Color Temperature Variable | A triggerable variable of type Integer or Float that contains the color temperature in Kelvin (optional) |
If optional variables are not set, Alexa recognizes that the lamp does not have the corresponding properties. If optional variables are set later on, a search for devices is required to discover the changed properties.
