rgb node cases TypeError if the colour picker set to send a string

[SvenDowideit]

I get

10/03/2021, 11:38:06 amnode: 63f3c1e5.241038
msg : error
"TypeError: colors[i].includes is not a function"

[SvenDowideit]

aha, but as an object, it works!

so a bug we can work around :)

note that when you do this, you need a function to convert the string that is output by the homie node into an object or "rgb(...)" string.

Thanks for the issue & workaround. Currently working on a complete rewritten version. I will separate the dashboard part from the "pure" homie part. Hope I can post the update in a few weeks. Will address the different colour formatting. But there are so many ... Object is the most convenient (for me)

[SvenDowideit]

oooer. I guess I'll wait for that before i start looking at hacking some of my ideas :)

[Christian-Me]

I try to post a development version soon. Happy to hear your ideas and comments.

Here a sneek prieview ... Think you get the idea:

I pushed a development branch. If interested you can give it a try.

• multiple baseIDs with autodetection
• reworked homie device node with individual selectable bases, devices, nodes and properties
• all homie data browsable in the homie device node
• new pro node (needs a new name) with configurable extensions, modifications to the convention
• own broker connections for every pro devices to provide LWT functionality
• separated dashboard stuff from the homie device node
• the convention is now driven by a JSON object not hardcoded logic (user expandable) (see pro node)
• and many bugs ;)

Had it lying around quite a while doing other stuff like my own ESP based homie framework so it took a wile to understand all my own legacy code. All still alpha/beta, but I start rolling it out into my live system ... so should be "usable" with some bugs and sharp edges.

current status:

• homie device = usable
• homie dashboard: Tested only the slider (for the frequency limiter)
• homie pro: complete reworked but only generic tests
• homie state: no changes and no tests

Any Inputs and ideas welcome :)
