bwssytems / ha-bridge

Home automation bridge that emulates a Philips Hue light system and can control other systems such as a Vera, Harmony Hub, Nest, MiLight bulbs or any other system that has an http/https/tcp/udp interface. This is a compact impl to run on small format computers. This is impl started from this project https://github.com/armzilla/amazon-echo-ha-bridge.

Any chance to include support for LimitlessLED v6? #477

Closed thofra closed 4 years ago

thofra commented 7 years ago

While everything is working fine with sending UDP commands to the old Limitless LED API v5, v6 expects session management. See http://www.limitlessled.com/dev/ So there is no possibility any longer to just send UDP commands. It would be so great if you could implement basic support for Limitless LEDs.

Will have to put it in as a future enhancement.

Any updates on this at all? Would love to have the new controllers work with HA bridge.

bwssytems commented 7 years ago

Soon, as this is higher up on the priority list as being older.

I'm new to limitless/milight and used v5 up until now. What is better with v6? Is there a reason to switch, can it something nice that v5 can't?

thofra commented 7 years ago

This is not the right place to talk about the benefits. But shortly, as far I understand the situation... I am not happy about v6 because before it was a very simple communication, now it is complex and session-based. But v6 is required whenever you will receive one of the new Wifi boxes which only will support v6 (it is most of the time even difficult to find this out before - it is all about the firmware running on it). v6 seems to be also required in case you want to use the new RGB-CCT bulbs. I really like them because you can also choose the color temperature of white - so you will not need to choose CW or WW, it is both in one and even everything in between. And you can mix white with shades of colors. A lot of new options. But I am sure, this all would have been possible also with previous versions of the API.

@bwssytems Maybe you'll want to look into this: http://codecorner.galanter.net/2017/02/24/full-control-of-your-limitless-ledmilight-v6-bulbs-from-amazon-echo/ The communication is very slow - most of the time it takes 5-10 seconds until the bulbs will react once Alexa told you "Ok". This seems to be related to the session handling. But maybe there are also ways to speed it up. I assume the Android app is using the same interface and is much faster.

Is this still something you will implement into HA bridge?

mfaalk commented 6 years ago

I've set up the bulbs in openhab and controling them by http rest commands from ha bridge. That way I can turn on(100%), set brightness to some % or turn off(0%) brightness.

bwssytems commented 6 years ago

Thanks, will take a look

mfaalk commented 6 years ago

Actually my ha bridge just stopped working a few days ago :/ Before I could use an older version, 1.20.9, to set it up as philips hue but doesn't work any more. My home restarted itself, probably some update that broke it.

francescofact commented 6 years ago

So now is going to work this software with Milight hub v6?

Rossbro2 commented 6 years ago

@bwssytems Any updates on supporting the Milight v6 API?

bwssytems commented 5 years ago

With the implementation of OpenHAB, Which has MiLight/Limitless connectivity, I will suggest that is the path to implement this.

See https://www.openhab.org
