Incompatibility with V8

[Betree]

Bulb version 8 seems to be incompatible at the moment. What we know :

• It uses a random address type
• Both handles 0x0b (used in v9) and 0x0c (used in v7) are not responding.

(See #7)

Before you start sniffing packets, you can try (from Gatttool) to connect to the device as you did before then send this command : [XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX][LE]> primary

You should end up with something like that :

attr handle: 0x0001, end grp handle: 0x0007 uuid: 00001800-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb
attr handle: 0x0008, end grp handle: 0x0008 uuid: 0000fff0-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb
attr handle: 0x0009, end grp handle: 0x000b uuid: 0000ffe5-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb
attr handle: 0x000c, end grp handle: 0xffff uuid: 0000ffe0-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb

Then try to write previous sequences, replacing 0x000b by the different values you have with grp handle key: char-write-req 0x000b 56FFFFFF00f0aa to set white char-write-req 0x000b 56FF000000f0aa to set red

Now to see if magicblue will work :)

Hi Benjamin, I've upgraded the bluetooth to bluez 5.9 that's what did it in the end I think :) Magicblueshell also works now :D Many thanks for the help :), now all we need to do is get it added to Homeassistant :)

[Betree]

Glad to hear that 🎉 !

I'm interested in the HomeAssistant integration, keep me in touch with your progress on that. Also I think other people are looking for that feature too (see this post).
