Filament Style Bulbs

[mitch7391]

Hi @kpsuperplane, I just installed your plug-in to see how I like these lights. I do notice you say this is mostly for RGB bulb support, but was wondering if at any stage you will be looking at making the plug-in to better accept dimmable white temperature changing bulbs?

As they currently show a colour palette in HomeKit and the colour temperature does not appear to actually work; it looks like you just use the colours.

@dotkrnl do you think this is possible in the future?

Hi @mitch7391! I only own A19 so I could not help for other models. Thanks!

@dotkrnl cheers for the quick reply! Not that I have much experience, but do you have any guidance in how I could look into trying to work it out myself?

@mitch7391 You can try echo '{"method":"setPilot","env":"pro","params":{"mac":"YOUR_MAC_HERE","src":"udp","dimming":100,"state":true,"temp":2869}}' | socat - UDP-DATAGRAM:255.255.255.255:38899,broadcast to see the error message, and adjust the parameters to see when it works.

@dotkrnl thanks for the help and sorry for the late reply. I have run that command and it seems to send a 'set' command for the lights. I tried it by changing to a 'dimming' of 50 and that is where I noticed a few things are wrong. In Homekit it will then display my light as 45% not 50% (I had already suspected some scaling issues through usage) and the colour temperature of 2869 I would expect to be quite a warm white; seems to turn my light more of a cooler white than it should be (homekit shows it has been set as warm white or actually an orange hue?). This is what my the command returns for me:

{"method":"setPilot","env":"pro","result":{"success":true}}{"method":"setPilot","env":"pro","result":{"success":true}}

Is there any 'get' type commands I can use to have it pull information from the light?

Try the following, with the correct IP.

echo '{"method":"getPilot","env":"pro","params":{}}' | socat - udp-datagram:192.168.1.20:38899

Should give you a result similar to: {"method":"getPilot","env":"pro","result" {"mac":"a8bb509eaad3","rssi":-53,"src":"","state":true,"sceneId":11,"speed":100,"temp":2700,"dimming":56}}

The temp and dimming are obvious, not sure what the speed refers too, pulsing perhaps?

@fluidpixel I just ran the command and it returned the following:

{"method":"getPilot","env":"pro","result":{"mac":"a8bb509d0336","rssi":-57,"src":"","state":true,"sceneId":6,"speed":100,"dimming":23}}

I am wondering if the 'sceneId' is the 'cozy' scene I currently have it set to (seems to be the warmest white) and I actually have them set to 15% dimming in homekit, but this is returning feedback that they are set to 23% by the looks. Curious that it did not return 'temp'.

I imagine "sceneId" and "speed" refer to the corresponding dynamic "light mode" settings in the WiZ proper app. Eg, "Party ", and the selected speed.

Hi, I'm new to this whole GitHub and Homebridge thing... is there already a solution for WIZ Filament bulbs? Thanks!!

[mitch7391]

They have always worked in this plug-in, they are just represented incorrectly as rgb lights.
