Decoding status

[Erik Vicenzotto]

Hello,
how can i decode the response of the get_status function?

The response of get_status are bytes.

If you see something like this:
<bound method MagicHomeApi.get_status of <magichome.MagicHomeApi object at 0x0204EB70>>
It's because you used controller1.get_status instead of controller1.get_status()

I'm using get_status() but I can't understand what I receive back, is there a way to understand the bytes sequence?

[Samuel Knoch]

Same here. I'm using also get_status() but don´t know what bytes sequence this is?
Any Idea?

[Adam Kempenich]

Yeah. Check out my Hubitat drivers' parse functions to determine what the different bytes are until I can transition and test this properly. I need to update this library to determine the device type that's sent back, and parse information as Power/FX/RGB/CCT properly.

I've wrote these 2 basic functions to the MagicHomeApi class for the RGB devices i'm using (device_type 0) : https://aliexpress.com/item/4001094549543.html ; Variant 4PIN RGB

is_on() returns true if the device is on.
get_color() returns the color in HTML format (#ff0000 for red)

Untested with any other device type so YMMV

def get_color(self):
    _bytes = bin(int(self.get_status().hex(),16))[50:74]
    _hex = hex(int(_bytes,2)).split('x')
    while(len(_hex[1])!=6) :
        _hex[1] = '0'+_hex[1]
    return '#'+_hex[1]

def is_on(self):
    return bin(int(self.get_status().hex(),16))[98:102] == '1111'
