[Solved] Configuring ALDI Casalux LED Strip IR Commands with OpenBK Beken 7231N

Hello @All,
I'm pretty new using OpenBK. Bought an ALDI Casalux WIFI RGB-LED Flexband 5m stripe. It was said, that it is TUYA compatible. It contains the stripe, a PWM RGB controller with one button and IR receiver, power supply and IR remote control with 24 keys. Controller is a Beken 7231N. I flashed it with the newest version and tried to configure it. The blue channel is at P7, the red at P6 and the green at P24. The switch is connected to P20 and the IR receiver at P26. So far, all ok. I get MQTT messages and I can control it using the app. But, i have the problem translating the IR commands into functions. Log says during pressing or releasing some of the keys: IR_NEC 0xEF00 0x2 0 or IR_NEC 0xEF00 0x17 1.
How can I tell the controller to do one of the functions? Is there an example, how to do? Sorry, but I found nothing in the documentation.

Best regards!

Hello, I think we have example for that here:
https://github.com/openshwprojects/OpenBK7231T_App/blob/main/docs/autoexecExamples.md

Also, it's in this video:

Basically, you can use event handlers to link commands to IR events

That helped me a bit, but it's unclear how to set the color. I have three channels for R, G, and B. Can I set the color with one command? I tried the "color" command with the parameter 0xFF0000 for red and 0x00FF00 for green, but nothing happened. Led_enableAll 0 or 1 is fine, but add_dimmer -10 or +10 shows a nonlinear behavior.

Dimmer is supposed to be non-linear, we even had a pull request for that... it's called gamma ramp:
https://github.com/openshwprojects/OpenBK7231T_App/blob/main/docs/led_gamma_control.md
It should be possible to disable it if you want.

Why do you think that Color does not work?

Can you try first assigning Color command from command line, just to see if it works?

Now all worked fine: ledenable_all, add_dimmer, and color commands work as specified. The only problem is the color range of the LEDs. But that's not a problem of the software.
