random colors in each led.

Bug report

I just compiled and installed Hyperion, nothing abnormal. but when I try to use hyperion app android the LEDs light up randomly except for the first one. It is worth mentioning that the effects and the usb capture work without problems.
Edit:

• Compiled from source

Steps to reproduce

• install hyperion-free from Google Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.hyperion.hyperionfree)
• add hyperion server ip address.
• test effects (work well)
• test static color (red, green, blue)

What is expected?

solid colors along the led tape

What is actually happening?

random colors in each led.

What happens if you use the hyperion webinterface to change colors or effects?
also i have seen you are using a nodemcu to controll...which software do you have on your nodemcu? AND you dont have a level shifter, nor a capacitor for the nodemcu...am i right? those are a lot of things which come together.... could you recheck everything...

[juanesf]

• when using the interface only the effects work well, the colors have the same problem in the application and web-ui.
  Effects:
  
  

Colors:

• the firmware on nodemcu is WLED (https://github.com/Aircoookie/WLED)

• I have a 5 volt source for led and nodemcu, working without problems for at least two years with the same type of configuration. (migrated from diyhue to wled)

• problem appeared after merge # 875 (LED Device Features, Fixes and Refactoring (Resubmit PR855) #875)

[tpmodding]

Ok, then i would ask you to wait till alpha7, in alpha 7 we have implemented wled as a own device

which led device settings did you use?

[juanesf]

I have used both instances, before raw udp. and now wled and rawudp with the same results.

[juanesf]

I want to try the installation before commit: #875

Edit:
i just tried hyperion 2.0.0-alpha.6 where it is working smoothly but in alpha.7 it doesn't

Got the same issue with a fresh HyperBian setup. Effects work wonderful, solid colors lead to the same random led behaviour. Can i support anyhow?

[dvd77]

Same here... with alpha 6 everything is ok, in v7 its not.
Example : when RGB byte order is started ( solid color) random leds are turned on in different colors

My hw setup : apa102 connected via wled, raspberrypi 0w

[tpmodding]

Hey, please dont get me wrong but "i doesnt work now" is something where i think "no infos, no config nothing...i can do nothing with those informations...just ignore it"
i think we have good developers which do awesome work and always try to fix problems as soon as posible, but to do this we need debug logs, and a loooot more information....so if you want to help us and if you want that we help you, please use our github issue template, give us more infos and more logs that so that we can all work together. Regards TP

@juanesf I confirm that is a bug in the setColor routine.

[Joeboyc2]

I've got the same issue too using apa102s.
I've also found that I can't turn the leds off atall so I've had to switch the led device option off in remote control when I switch the tv off

[RaymondMouthaan]

Saw same behaviour too using a ws2815b

[Joeboyc2]

Ive gone back to alpha 6 and all is working just fine

[jonwilliams84]

Same issue here with WLED or udpe131.

Effects work fine but solid colours results in random colours for each led.

On a side-note is there anyway that the colour I set directly in WLED can have a higher priority than that set in Hyperion? Or someway of syncing the two, so if I change the colour in WLED, the colour / effect is updated in Hyperion?

[tpmodding]

@jonwilliams84 nope, udp-incoming data > everyhting else, but this is more related to wled

[jonwilliams84]

I am thinking that maybe a 'sync' endpoint / listener on hyperion that maybe WLED could post changes to / current settings upon change...that way any colours set from WLED directly could be reflected in hyperion. I understand that this would also require buy-in from the WLED project to add code to their app too.

#906 resolved this for me setting solid colors in the web-ui, hyperion android app, and home assistant. thanks!

[juanesf]

Same for me

Hi, i'm having the same problem with Hyperion (https://docs.hyperion-project.org/), but i don't know exaclty how to solve this with #906 . Can you tell me what steps i need to do precisely? thank you
