LIVARNO LUX support #433

Would this at all be possible with LIVARNO LUX lamps? They are basically a german discounter hue, directly controlled by Wifi 2.4Ghz

You can't really find a lot about those lamps, but their price is just too tempting. I think I'll get one and try it out.

Without some form of API this is not possible. I'm afraid we just don't have the time or money to reverse engineer every bulbs communication protocol. I had a quick google but couldn't find much out about these lamps. If your able to find out more info on them and/or an API then we can re-open this and take another look.

@cheesemarathon yeah that's what I thought. Thanks anyway though!

in 90% cases lights with remote control can be converted very easy to esp8266. I recently purchase this panel without to know what controller it has. In less than 30 minutes i was able to control it from Hue app.

@mariusmotea can you point me to any resources on how you did this?

ghost commented 5 years ago

I might just get those instead, because they also seem to be very cheap.

I already mount it, let me see if i can made new pictures. To resume there is a dedicated board for the original remote communication that can be removed with solder iron. On this board there is labeled also the pinout, there is VDD(3.3v), GND, R,G,B,CW and WW. i solder one Wemos D1 mini, i did not care about the leds pin order because i fix them from software, just VDD and GND are important. I made something extra but i don't believe is necessary, i replace the 3.3v power supply witch is also a small dedicated board soldered on main board. I did this because i have some 3.3v power supply already home that prove me to be reliable.
