Overview
Represents a (zigbee) Light on the network.
As a sub-class of Device ZigbeeDevice, it inherits everything from that interfaceclass and its parent Device class, as well as providing convenience methods for interacting with Lights.
API
on()
Usage
Sends a command over the network to turn the LightDevice on.
Returns a PropertyCommandData object containing the future result of the Property modified by the command.
This is a non-blocking call.
Parameters
None.
Returns
| Return Type | Description |
|---|---|
| PropertyCommandData | Contains a CompletableFuture<Property> of the property being modified by the command. Contains the last known (cached) value of the property being modified by the command. |
Examples
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
GatewayClient gateway = new GatewayClient(new ConnectionInfo(ConnectionType.ZIGBEE_UART, "/dev/ttyUSB0"), ... Collection<Device> lights = gateway.getDevices( d -> d.getDeviceType().equals(LightDevice.DEVICE_TYPE) ); for (Device device : lights) { LightDevice light = (LightDevice) device; light.on(); } |
off()
Usage
Sends a command over the network to turn the LightDevice off.
Returns a PropertyCommandData object containing the future result of the Property modified by the command.
This is a non-blocking call.
Parameters
None.
Returns
| Return Type | Description |
|---|---|
| PropertyCommandData | Contains a CompletableFuture<Property> of the property being modified by the command. Contains the last known (cached) value of the property being modified by the command. |

GatewayClient gateway = new GatewayClient(new ConnectionInfo(ConnectionType.ZIGBEE_UART, "/dev/ttyUSB0"), ... Collection<Device> lights = gateway.getDevices( d -> d.getDeviceType().equals(LightDevice.DEVICE_TYPE) ); for (Device device : lights) { LightDevice light = (LightDevice) device; light.off(); } |
readLevel()
Usage
Sends a command over the network to read the level of the LightDevice (i.e. the dimming level)
Returns a CompletableFuture of the 'level' Property.
This is a non-blocking call.
Parameters
None.
Returns
| Return Type | Description |
|---|---|
| CompletableFuture<Property> | A CompletableFuture of the 'level' Property. |
Examples
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|

GatewayClient gateway = new GatewayClient(new ConnectionInfo(ConnectionType.ZIGBEE_UART, "/dev/ttyUSB0"), ... Collection<Device> lights = gateway.getDevices( d -> d.getDeviceType().equals(LightDevice.DEVICE_TYPE) ); for (Device device : lights) { final LightDevice light = (LightDevice) device; CompletableFuture<Property> futureLevel = light.readLevel(); // you can block on the future, or handle it asynchronously // blocking example Property level = futureLevel.get(); // async example futureLevel.thenAccept( levelProperty -> System.out.println("Level: " + levelProperty) ); } |
moveToLevel(int levelPercentage)
Usage
Sends a command to move the level of the LightDevice (i.e. the dimming level)
Returns a PropertyCommandData object containing the future result of the Property modified by the command.
This is a non-blocking call.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| levelPercentage | int | A value between 0 and 100 representing the dimming level of a light. |
Returns
| Return Type | Description |
|---|---|
| PropertyCommandData | Contains a CompletableFuture<Property> of the property being modified by the command. Contains the last known (cached) value of the property being modified by the command. |
Examples
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|

GatewayClient gateway = new GatewayClient(new ConnectionInfo(ConnectionType.ZIGBEE_UART, "/dev/ttyUSB0"), ... Collection<Device> lights = gateway.getDevices( d -> d.getDeviceType().equals(LightDevice.DEVICE_TYPE) ); for (Device device : lights) { LightDevice light = (LightDevice) device; light.moveToLevel(50); } |
moveToLevel(int levelPercentage, int transitionTime)
Usage
...Same as moveToLevel, with the addition of a transition time (in tenths of a second, or as close as the remote device is able to adhere to).
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| levelPercentage | int | A value between 0 and 100 representing the dimming level of a light. |
| transitionTime | int | The time to transition to the desired dimming level, in tenths of a second (or as close as the remote device is able to adhere to). |
Returns
| Return Type | Description |
|---|---|
| PropertyCommandData | Contains a CompletableFuture<Property> of the property being modified by the command. Contains the last known (cached) value of the property being modified by the command. |
Examples
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
GatewayClient gateway = new GatewayClient(new ConnectionInfo(ConnectionType.ZIGBEE_UART, "/dev/ttyUSB0"), ... Collection<Device> lights = gateway.getDevices( d -> d.getDeviceType().equals(LightDevice.DEVICE_TYPE) ); for (Device device : lights) { LightDevice light = (LightDevice) device; light.moveToLevel(25, 10); // move to 25% dim level, over 1 second } |
getDeviceType()
Usage
Returns the DeviceType that the Device belongs to. DeviceType contains a type and category. For a LightDevice, this would be:
- Category: Lighting
- Type: Light
The value returned from this method can be used to search the network for Devices of the same type.
Parameters
None.
Returns
| Return Type | Description |
|---|---|
| DeviceType | The DeviceType object categorizing and identifying the LightDevice. |
Examples
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
...
Collection<Device> lights = gw.getDevices( d -> d.getDeviceType().equals(LightDevice.DEVICE_TYPE));
...
System.out.println("LightDevice type: " + gw.getDevice(idStr).getDeviceType().getType() );
