I was gifted some Wiz RGB A19 bulbs recently and started using the plugin. Couldn’t be easier to get set up and running in Homebridge. Thank you!
Also picked up some ST19 soft white LED 40W (link below), not expecting them to work, but was pleasantly surprised that the plugin just discovered them and could control them out of the box. I know you said you will only be supporting the RGB bulbs but wanted to report in my experience for documentation:
With the ST19 bulb the following features work:
Detection of brightness level
Changing of brightness level
Detection of bulb’s color temperature
Detection and changing status of bulb on or off
What does not work:
The plugin exposes the Homekit color picker and allows it to be changed in the Home app. However, this bulb’s color or color temperature is not actually changeable and the bulb seemingly just ignores the command.
One thought:
I’ve noticed with both the A19 and the ST19 bulb that if they are turned off at the power switch, Homekit will only report it’s last known status. I’ve seen other plugins report powered off bulbs as off in Homekit. Perhaps if the plugin does not receive the heartbeat from the bulb in XX seconds or if it is not responding to pings, the status of the bulb is reported as off to Homekit?
