brightness on display

[KitKat-ok]

Im trying to display the current brightness on an oled display but I cant find any way to read it or any variable in the arduino code where can I find it or is there another way to achieve it ?

You're wanting to make some modifications to:

• get the current brightness of some arbitrary device/group combo
• display it on an external display

is that right?

you'd want to use stateStore defined in main.cpp. There are some example usages there that should be helpful, but it'd probably look something like this:

  BulbId myBulbId(0x1234, 1, MiLightRemoteType::REMOTE_TYPE_RGB_CCT);
  GroupState* state = stateStore->get(myBulbId);
  uint8_t brightness = state->getBrightness();

Ill try if it works in a couple of days and I have another question. How does it host the site and how does it connect to the esp through http://milight-hub.local ?

Check out the README: https://github.com/sidoh/esp8266_milight_hub#configure-wifi

.local is mdns. You don't need to use it. Can connect to it via hostname or IP address just as easily if your client doesn't support mdns.

Can I completely disable mdns ?

The code is here!
