Summary

  • Adds a new dali_gear usermod implementing DALI-2 DT8 (colour, CCT) gear emulation, allowing WLED to respond to a DALI master as tunable-white/CCT lighting gear.
  • Responds to standard DALI-2 query commands (QUERY DEVICE TYPE, QUERY STATUS, QUERY CONTROL GEAR PRESENT, QUERY ACTUAL LEVEL, QUERY COLOUR TYPE) so conformant masters correctly discover the gear and its DT8 capability.
  • Adds a tx_inverted config option to correct TX polarity depending on the DALI transceiver hardware used (documented for common circuits including the Waveshare Pico-DALI2 and qqqDALI DIY PNP).
  • Documentation (usermods/dali_gear/readme.md) describes the master flow, supported query responses, config keys, and example hardware/wiring.

Note

This PR was assembled by cherry-picking the dali_gear-specific commits from a branch that had accidentally accumulated an unrelated usermod-ci merge. This PR contains only the dali_gear usermod changes, rebased cleanly onto current main.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added ESP32 support for operating WLED as a DALI control gear device.
    • Supports DALI broadcast and short-address commands for brightness control, status queries, actual-level queries, and colour-temperature adjustment.
    • Added configurable receive/transmit pins, signal polarity, device address, and usermod enablement settings.
    • Provides responses to supported DALI queries through the bus.
    • Supports builds using both current and legacy ESP32 Arduino environments.
  • Documentation

    • Added setup guidance, hardware requirements, configuration details, supported commands, addressing modes, limitations, and wiring warnings.

- Document non-standard combined DAPC+CCT master flow
- Document QUERY COLOUR TYPE (0xE7) backward frame response (0x02)
- Remove stale 'No backward frame responses' limitation
- Fix config key names (pin_rx/pin_tx, correct defaults 14/17)
- Add Waveshare Pico-DALI2 as example hardware
- Add note about enabling White Balance Correction for RGB-only strips
- Add lib_deps to platformio_override.ini example snippet
- library.json: pin qqqDALI dependency to immutable commit SHA
  (e39a7da0) instead of branch ref for reproducible builds
- readme.md: add 'text' language tag to ASCII circuit diagram
  fenced code block (fixes markdownlint MD040)
- setup(): fix pin leak — deallocate RX pin if TX allocation fails
…Y COLOUR TYPE fix

- Add tx_inverted config option: corrects TX polarity for single-stage
  inverting circuits (e.g. qqqDALI DIY PNP). Default false is correct
  for the Waveshare Pico-DALI2 (NPN + opto = double inversion).
- Add QUERY STATUS (0x90), QUERY CONTROL GEAR PRESENT (0x91) and
  QUERY ACTUAL LEVEL (0xA0) backward frame responses, so masters that
  probe for gear presence before sending DT8 commands will find us.
- Fix QUERY COLOUR TYPE command byte: spec (IEC 62386-209) uses 0xF7;
  handle both 0xF7 and 0xE7 (non-standard masters) via case fallthrough.
- readme: warn that qqqDALI DIY PNP circuit is conceptual and not
  isolated; document tx_inverted setting and new query responses.
Per IEC 62386-209, QUERY COLOUR TYPE is command 0xF7. Command 0xE7 is
not a query and must not produce a backward frame response. The previous
0xE7 fallthrough was added for a non-standard master but violates the
spec. Now that 0x90/0x91/0xA0 presence queries are handled, a compliant
master will discover the gear via those and correctly use 0xF7.
Conformant DALI-2 masters send QUERY DEVICE TYPE before issuing
ENABLE DEVICE TYPE 8 or any DT8 application extended commands.
Without this response, such masters skip CCT control entirely.

Update readme query-responses table and top-of-file comment.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to cfd6c

DALI masters may fail to discover or query the gear reliably, and changing the usermod's hardware settings at runtime does not apply the new configuration. These issues materially impair the feature and should be resolved before merge.

DALI 7Te–22Te response window, including under worst-case loop latency with
active effects; adjust the scheduling/transmission mechanism rather than relying

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

A response byte of 0x00 is never sent.

_pendingBF == 0 doubles as "no frame pending", and loop() line 362 gates on if (_pendingBF && ...). Two real responses encode to 0x00 and are therefore dropped:

  • QUERY ACTUAL LEVEL (line 255) when bri == 0, because wledBriToDaliLevel(0) returns 0.
  • QUERY STATUS (lines 227–228) when bri == 0 and a short address is configured.

With the light off, the master receives no backward frame and treats the gear as absent or failed. Use a separate validity flag instead of a sentinel value.

🐛 Proposed fix using an explicit pending flag
     void scheduleBF(uint8_t byte) {
       _pendingBF     = byte;
+      _pendingBFValid = true;
       _pendingBFTime = millis() + 4; // 4ms after frame received in loop()
     }

Declare the flag next to the existing members (lines 98–99):

     uint8_t  _pendingBF        = 0;     // backward frame byte to send
+    bool     _pendingBFValid   = false; // true while _pendingBF holds an unsent response
     uint32_t _pendingBFTime    = 0;     // millis() threshold — send when now >= this

Then gate on the flag in loop():

-      if (_pendingBF && (millis() >= _pendingBFTime)) {
+      if (_pendingBFValid && (int32_t)(millis() - _pendingBFTime) >= 0) {
         uint8_t bf = _pendingBF;
-        _pendingBF = 0;
+        _pendingBFValid = false;

Use the IEC 62386-209 DT8 opcodes

At usermods/dali_gear/usermod_dali_gear.cpp:268-300, 0xE1 is SET TEMPORARY y-COORDINATE, 0xE2 is ACTIVATE, 0xE7 is SET TEMPORARY COLOUR TEMPERATURE Tc, and 0xEF is QUERY COLOUR TYPE FEATURES. The current switch stores CCT data for 0xE1 and ignores 0xE7, so conformant CCT commands do not update _tempCCT. It also responds to 0xF7, while a real 0xEF query receives no backward frame. Move the CCT handling to 0xE7, do not dispatch 0xE1 as CCT, and schedule 0x02 only for 0xEF; leave 0xF7 unanswered because it is not a DT8 command.

Keep backward-frame transmission inside the DALI response window

  • scheduleBF() sets a 4 ms target, but loop() is the only path that calls _dali.tx(). The timer ISR only calls _dali.timer(). If the next loop() iteration occurs after 22Te, the backward frame is transmitted too late. Measure worst-case latency with active effects and ensure the transmission mechanism meets the 7Te–22Te window.
  • Use a rollover-safe comparison. The current comparison can transmit before the 4 ms deadline when millis() wraps.

Comment thread usermods/dali_gear/usermod_dali_gear.cpp Outdated
CI failed to compile: timerBegin()/timerAttachInterrupt()/timerAlarmWrite()/
timerAlarmEnable() used the removed IDF v4-era signatures. WLED's ESP32
build now targets arduino-esp32 core 3.x (IDF v5), which uses
timerBegin(freq_hz), timerAttachInterrupt(timer, cb) and a combined
timerAlarm(timer, value, autoreload, reload_count).

Also bump the pinned qqqDALI (DALI-Lighting-Interface) commit to pick up
two upstream build fixes needed for the same newer toolchain:
- missing return in read_memory_bank() (-Werror=return-type)
- invalid volatile-qualified pointer conversion in rx()

Note: the file was also reformatted to the project's .clang-format style
by an IDE auto-format-on-save; the functional change is limited to the
timer API in setup().
The combined 'usermods' CI build environment (env:usermods) still extends
env:esp32dev_V4, which uses the older arduino-esp32 core 2.x (IDF v4) timer
API, while the per-usermod envs (usermods_esp32/esp32s2/esp32s3/esp32c3)
use core 3.x (IDF v5). Gate the timer setup on ESP_ARDUINO_VERSION_MAJOR so
both build targets compile.

Use 0x99 for QUERY DEVICE TYPE.

_dali.rx() decodes the frame into MSB-first bytes, and process() dispatches data[1] as cmdByte. In the pinned qqqDALI definitions, 0x18 is GO TO SCENE 8, while DALI_QUERY_DEVICE_TYPE is 0x99. Therefore, scene 8 commands incorrectly schedule a backward frame, and conformant device-type queries reach default and receive no response. Change the branch to case 0x99:.

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
The functions timerBegin, timerAttachInterrupt, and timerAlarm are part of the hardware timer API for the ESP32 platform in the Arduino environment [1]. Recent updates to the ESP32 Arduino core have changed the signature of timerBegin, removing the need for a timer index (NULL is no longer required or used as it was in older versions) [1]. The current usage pattern for these functions is as follows: 1. timerBegin(uint32_t frequency): This function initializes the timer at a specified frequency in Hz and returns a pointer to a timer structure (hw_timer_t *) [1]. Note that the older format requiring a timer index (e.g., timerBegin(0, 80, true)) is deprecated or removed in newer versions of the API [1]. 2. timerAttachInterrupt(hw_timer_t *timer, void (*userFunc)(void)): This function associates a callback function (userFunc) with the timer interrupt [1]. The callback will be triggered when the timer alarm conditions are met [1]. 3. timerAlarm(hw_timer_t *timer, uint64_t alarm_value, bool autoreload, uint64_t reload_count): This function configures the alarm trigger [1]. The alarm_value is defined in terms of the timer frequency set in timerBegin (if set to 1MHz, the value represents microseconds), autoreload determines if the timer resets after the alarm, and reload_count specifies the number of repeats (0 is unlimited) [1]. Example setup: timer = timerBegin(1000000); // Set 1MHz frequency timerAttachInterrupt(timer, &onTimer); // Attach callback timerAlarm(timer, 1000000, true, 0); // Trigger every 1 second, repeat indefinitely [1]

Handle timerBegin() failure before configuring the timer.

timerBegin(1000000) can return nullptr when configuration fails. The current code then passes that handle to timerAttachInterrupt() and timerAlarm(), while the claimed pins remain allocated. Add the failure guard and cleanup.

Proposed fix
     _daliTimer = timerBegin(1000000);
+    if (_daliTimer == nullptr) {
+      DEBUG_PRINTLN(F("[DALI] timer allocation failed"));
+      PinManager::deallocatePin(_txPin, PinOwner::UM_DALI_GEAR);
+      PinManager::deallocatePin(_rxPin, PinOwner::UM_DALI_GEAR);
+      _enabled = false;
+      _initDone = true;

Validate daliAddr before storing it in _daliAddr.

getJsonValue() converts the JSON value with ArduinoJson v6 as<int8_t>() without range validation. Values 64..127 remain unchanged, while values such as 128 convert to 0. daliAddressedToMe() then compares these values with decoded short addresses 0..63, which can ignore all short-address frames or select address 0 incorrectly. Read into a wider temporary, reject or clamp values outside -1..63, and assign _daliAddr only after validation.

470-489: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Force a reboot when DALI Gear hardware settings change

A UM settings submission without RBT calls readFromConfig() but does not call setup(). readFromConfig() changes _enabled, _rxPin, and _txPin only. setup() is the only path that allocates pins, updates callback pins, calls _dali.begin(), and starts _daliTimer. Therefore, runtime changes cannot apply the new hardware configuration and can retain the old pin ownership, callbacks, DALI state, and timer. Detect hardware-setting changes at this configuration boundary and force doReboot = true, or implement complete teardown and reinitialization before applying them.
