HomeApp always shows Ambilight on when first loading about homebridge-hyperion-light HOT 7 CLOSED

Hey,

problem is the hyperion-api has actually no method to check the ambilight status correctly.

There other open Issue is about the same problem. (but in german)

Here is the corresponding issue on hyperion repo:
https://github.com/hyperion-project/hyperion/issues/738#issuecomment-275146910

Thanks for the reply and reference. I'll watch the hyperion repo as well and close this.

BTW, I ended up just commenting out the get method so the HomeApp defaults to off when started. The HomeApp then tracks on/off correctly (since it assumes success of a command). Obviously not a solution for it, but will end up being 'correct' more often for my usage.

Thanks

@pdemarco925 how did you go about commenting out the get method?

Comment out lines 97-99

// .on('get', (callback) => {
// this.hyperion.getAmbiState(callback);

The specific location will depend upon your config, but something like: "/usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge-hyperion-light/index.js" or "/opt/node/lib/..."
