# Change XYZ to the UID of your RGB LED Bricklet

setup:
    # Set light blue color
    publish '{"r": 0, "g": 170, "b": 234}' to tinkerforge/request/rgb_led_bricklet/XYZ/set_rgb_value

API

All published payloads to and from the MQTT bindings are in JSON format.

If an error occures, the bindings publish a JSON object containing the error message as member _ERROR. It is published on the corresponding response topic: .../response/... for .../request/... and .../callback/... for .../register/....

Basic Functions

request/rgb_led_bricklet/<UID>/set_rgb_value
Request:
  • r – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255], Default: 0
  • g – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255], Default: 0
  • b – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255], Default: 0
Response:
  • no response

Sets the r, g and b values for the LED.

request/rgb_led_bricklet/<UID>/get_rgb_value
Request:
  • empty payload
Response:
  • r – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255], Default: 0
  • g – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255], Default: 0
  • b – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255], Default: 0

Returns the r, g and b values of the LED as set by request/rgb_led_bricklet/<UID>/set_rgb_value.

Advanced Functions

request/rgb_led_bricklet/<UID>/get_identity
Request:
  • empty payload
Response:
  • uid – Type: string, Length: up to 8
  • connected_uid – Type: string, Length: up to 8
  • position – Type: char, Range: ["a" to "h", "z"]
  • hardware_version – Type: [int, ...], Length: 3
    • 0: major – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255]
    • 1: minor – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255]
    • 2: revision – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255]
  • firmware_version – Type: [int, ...], Length: 3
    • 0: major – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255]
    • 1: minor – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255]
    • 2: revision – Type: int, Range: [0 to 255]
  • device_identifier – Type: int, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]
  • _display_name – Type: string

Returns the UID, the UID where the Bricklet is connected to, the position, the hardware and firmware version as well as the device identifier.

The position can be 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g' or 'h' (Bricklet Port). A Bricklet connected to an Isolator Bricklet is always at position 'z'.

The device identifier numbers can be found here. If symbolic output is not disabled, the device identifier is mapped to the corresponding name in the format used in topics.

The display name contains the RGB LED's name in a human readable form.
