Patrick,
My dump on the Hubitat Integration of the KL430 Lighting Strip: Discovery while developing my Hubitat implementation:
My guess is that there needs to be a module for the light strips specifically, since they LOOK like a bulb but aren't QUITE the same. I'm not sure how the bulbs are structured, though.
Not really. Common commands (aside from header data): on, off, brightness, color (uses HSL for color control). These also use the same ranges. Non-existant commands (in bulbs): circadian, colorTemperature. Big difference is support for the effects. I created a unique driver in Hubitat for that and to add color temperature and effect selection.
It turns out you're right - the actual transition is fairly easy, as you pointed out. I forked the repo and added maybe... six lines of code? to get KL430 support working; the transition_period does nothing as far as I can tell, but everything else is working.
Well, "everything else" - what we need to work is working, and we actually use color temp to determine HSV so we "have that" at a different layer of our interface. I'd be really interested in seeing that PR improved.
So I am really new with homebridge. I was thinking about getting HOOBs just to make laugh easy. I have kasa light strips will this work with them if I get hoobs?
Please let me know if there is anything I can share with the strips I own to help get the support added to this great plugin!
