Issue with King M4 Dimmer

[neil2048]

Hi

I have noted a few previous posts about the King M4 Dimmer switch, but alot of them posts went on on tangents.

I have one of the these dimmers, it in is HASS and working as a on/off switch only, how can i get this listed as a dimmer in Hass.

From the eWelink App, its running the latest firmware 2.7.0, and ewelink has a slider for the brightness. it works perfectly from the app, i would like to be able to get the slider functionality into Hass too.

From previous posts i have noted that you need the export from sonoff-debug.py, so here is mine, what else do you need from me?

hi @neil2048 isn't this the same device as mentioned here https://github.com/peterbuga/HASS-sonoff-ewelink/issues/37? (it kinda does look the same to me)

[neil2048]

Hi @peterbuga

Yes it does look similar, do you need any other information to help get this supported correctly? As that thread was last updated in august.

Thanks again

Neil

@neil2048 not much hype was for this device and i kinda left it aside (giving the fact that i cannot test it myself) + the fact that in summer days i'm less likely to code for fun 😅

i'll consider this device too on the next batch of changes that i'm planning (if you can stick around to test it and report if it's working or not)

[neil2048]

Sure, just shout when you need me to test

[ianfretwell]

Another tester here too - would really like to see this working!

Slight difference, firmware 2.9.1 on mine.

new 2.txt Hello, need any other debug files? In app says King M4, fw 2.9.1 Found in Hass like a simple switch, no dimmer functions.

[peterbuga]

Found in Hass like a simple switch, no dimmer functions.

it's normal, i did not implement the dimmer function yet. no ETA tho'

[dmutpuul]

Thanks for your solution) I saw another test branch, in light.py there is no dimmer function too?

[dmutpuul]

Maybe this would help. Debug info from dimmer operated via google assistant. Sonoff_debug_dimmerM4_GoogleAssistant.txt P.S. debug after logoff in ewelink app, then start debug and login , after that make some taps on dimmer... debug_logoff_ewelinkapp_then _logon.txt

[peterbuga]

@dmutpuul thanks for the debug files, i have enough information for this to make it work. long story short: i could make it work fast - and continue increasing the level of spaghetti code (because itead maintains no schema consistency between devices) OR i want to rewrite it so that it's sanely & easier for me to add/maintain new devices .... i'm choosing the latter 😬

[dmutpuul]

Hello again. Sorry for spamming to this branch. How i understand main problem is to identify each device from ewelink. But what if we shall manually add every device by its unical id (from ewelink app). Something like if uid=1111111 then device is lamp or switch etc. Every id user can take from app, then add device manually to lamp.py or switch.py . It is just idea, i am noob in coding. So thank you @peterbuga for your regard.

@dmutpuul cannot be done like this, or if i do i'll easily have other problems
