color support for pimatic-hap

[00lex]

hi treban,
could you contact michbeck100 some time and ask him how to implement color support for his plugin?
he can add now dimmer templates but then its just possible to switch bulbs and change brightness.

@00lex
Version 0.0.11-beta.10 supports now HAP Integration

please install the beta and change the accessory to test it

https://github.com/michbeck100/pimatic-hap/blob/master/hap.coffee#L60
'raspbee-dimmer': DimmerAccessory
'raspbee-ct': DimmerAccessory
'raspbee-rgb': HueLightAccessory

it makes no difference in the latest beta. the results are the same.
'raspbee-rgb': HueLightAccessory = 'raspbee-rgb': DimmerAccessory in hap.coffee

• pure white lights (hue) are available in HomeKit and I can dim them.
• ambient white lights (hue) are available in HomeKit and I can dim them but can't change their temperature.
• color lights (hue) are not available in HomeKit.

I like what you want to do with sensors to collect them to a multi sensor but there is a big issue.
they dont match the pimatic logic anymore. that means sensors are not sensors and I can't write rules like if PIR is present because there is no PIR in my setup anymore. instead I would need to realize everything with variables like if $pir.motion = true

i don't know if this helps but the variable of PIR in your last release for PIR was $pir.presence; in this beta its $pir.motion

@00lex thanks for testing.
i only rarely have iOS test hardware available.
Last weekend a Tradfri RGB lamp was successfully integrated. I will check it again.

The build-in PredicateProvider uses the attribut name to select the devices.
"state"
"presence"
"contact"

I will review the Multidevice to preserve this predefined attributes.
Thx for the hint!
