Hello @FranciscoGomez90, this is most certainly linked to your bulb version (some of them use public address type, other use random address type). When listing from the shell, we're able to do some stuff to automatically detect bulb's version.
Try to run with the -b
param and try different versions:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo magicblueshell -m [MAC_ADD] -c 'set_color red' -b 10
Hey! Thank you for your fast response. I'll try as soon as possible and I will let you know if i succeeded. Thak you again!
It's me again. If you run the command with the -b param works like a charm (mine is a V9) I also made a simple ambilight project in python. I used pyscreenshot to capture the screen and get the mean of the R,G and B channels which I use in the bulb.set_color(). It works great! A little laggy but great! Thank you!
Nice @FranciscoGomez90! Glad to hear that :slightly_smiling_face: Actually running magicblueshell
as a command is always slow cause it has to re-connect to the bulb every time. The best way to fasten it is to keep the connection open by using magicbluelib
from python.
Hello, I can use the shell app to connect to my lightbulb by listing the BLE devices and using connect 1 (or whatever idx) and the issueing set_color and the rest of command successfully. However, I cannot use the one liner to connect directly to a device and run a command. The error it get is (I replaced the actual MAC addres for MAC_ADD):
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo magicblueshell -m [MAC_ADD] -c 'set_color red'

Any clue to make this work properly?? Thank you!
