lights not responsive #50

Open djnav opened 6 years ago

djnav commented 6 years ago

could you please assist with regards to getting this work and take a look at the code below that I have:

{ "platform": "MiLight", "name": "MiLight", "bridges": [ { "ip_address": "X.X.X.X", "version": "v5", "port": 8899, "lights": {"rgbw": [ "Lego Lamp"] }, "repeat": 1, "delay": 100 }

do have my IP address off the bridge listed just removed from this post, the light shows up in the Home App and works accordingly in this app, but the light doesnt actually change.

I dont have any other lamps in the zones and did try using: ["null", "null" , "null", "Lego Lamp"] but this resulted in Homebridge actually not starting

using the Limiless LED app the light is responsive and does work using this app

I do have harmony hub , wemo plugs, all setup and working so know home bridge works , just cant seam to get the Limitless LED's to work

any help and advise with this would be greatly appreciated

I have just run into exactly the same problem except that my bulbs did work quite well for a few months. Now the MiLight app works perfectly, but Homebridge commands do not appear to reach the iBox controller. I've checked logs and Homebridge seems to verify that commands are being sent. I can also ping the iBox from my Raspberry Pi Homebridge install.

I've even rebuilt my Homebridge server from scratch but the problem persists. Really stuck now.

UPDATE: The issue seems to be related to which "remote" the lightbulbs are twinned with. Some of the virtual remote types do not seem to play nicely with Homebridge. Check the box which your bulb was shipped in - you'll see a list of supported remotes. Once you find the right virtual remote in the Milight app, the bulbs should work correctly with Homebridge

I'm running into what seems to be the same problem with RGBW strip lights, using a set from MiLight.

The night I first started testing, I connected the RF controller to a light switch, and paired the physical remote. I was able to control it. Set up the WiFi bridge, and it worked with the iPhone app. Set up homebridge-milight, and was able to control both the strip and the bridge light.

After that point, homebridge-milight gave me controls in homebridge, but nothing I do with the control affects the lights. The app works, and the remote works.

The controller is FUT038, the remote is iBox1, remote is FUT096. I'm using the remote in the app that looks exactly like the FUT096.

Here is my code. I've tried it with fullColor as well as rgbw. I also tried cycling through the available controllers in the app.

   {
        "platform":"MiLight",
        "name":"MiLight",
        "bridges": [
          {
            "ip_address": "192.168.1.204",
            "version": "v6",
            "lights": {"rgbw": ["test","Deck Main","Deck Side","other"],"bridge":["bridge"]},
            "repeat": 1,
            "delay": 100
          }
        ]
    },

Ideas?
