Milight RGB led strip

[rednas]

I am currently trying out milight. I have an rf module including a remote. I don't have the WiFi module yet. However it should be possible to make a white colour (composed of red green and blue) but mine doesn't do anything so I assume it thinks it is a RGBW strip. Can I change this?

[rednas]

Someone who has more experience with the Milight controllers?
Everything works with the remote, however when I switch to white everything goes off instead of going to white mode...

Bumping this. I've got both Milights and H801 emulating Milight with this issue.

What kind of RF-module are you using? Milight has RGB and RGBW modules. The modules has to fit the strip, ofcourse. Second, you will need to know what kind of strip it is to know it will match your controller. Third: the type of the strip. Some strips have multicolor leds (they are more expensive), some have dedicated leds: for each color one led (the chines ones)

I'm using RGB milight modules, with RGB strips (5050 LEDs).

The H801 run ESP Easy with the Milight plugin and have the same type of RGB strips. I'm using the white channels to control some other white LEDs lights.

Ninja edit: I'm a dummy, it's just the H801's not working, due to the plugin only supporting emulating RGBW. I guess I'll have to create a separate virtual dimmer, and set the values directly with ESP Easy's PWM function.

The true Milight RGB units handle emulating white just fine.

@DarkFoxDK you wouldn't happen to have the bin file for the easy esp with milight plugin fw would you? I have asked about this here as I am having huge trouble trying to compile it.

Well what I am specifically asking for is if you have the bin file? or is there a way to create a bin file as I am very familiar with flashing the bin file to esp8266

There's a guide on how to export a .bin file from Arduino available on their Wiki, but it seems to be unavailable at the moment.

I used google cache because as you said its unavailable
I didn't know this was a thing I was wondering how people did this.

I will use this when I can get it to compile which is my current issue

Yep. That's the one.

What device are you using to program the ESP? I've had issues with my cheap USB FTDI where it would stop at ~98%, but no issues with the CP2102 I got off Amazon.

[borgkitty]

I use CP2102 no issues either with the exception of me trying to draw to much power on it making me burning it out(done that 3 time.. haha forums warn to not power it with just the CP2102 but... I do ) . so I went to aliexpress and bought 5 from china (for 30-50 cent each) as I am sure I will burn more

you wouldn't happen to have the bin file or be able to create a bin file with relative ease with the milight plugin would you

Done with a dummy dimmer + a lua script x 2 to drive w1 & w2.

Works nice !

No, I mean. I can't get it to emulate white with the RGB LEDs. I don't have RGBWW strips, only RGB.

[deennoo]

Plugin support white channel are you sure ? The one i get only drive rgb for white i use dummy.

Will have a look to this

Damn yes ! Will try towmorrow ! Was using one of the first commit.

pm me .. I do have 4 bulbs and a ledstrip + controller for sale

pm me .. I do have 4 bulbs and a ledstrip + controller for sale

Thanks but already got 10 bulb + h801 all driven by my rflink.

Will try one Yeelight to support dev effort.

Yeelight nice stuff...

Do you have a wiring for the Milight with the Rflink.
And a how to include the bulb..


Do you use with the Rflink the bulbs separate or as groups..

[deennoo]

For wiring nrf24l01 : http://www.nemcon.nl/blog2/wiring

Some are set as group (4 bulbs in one) and 6 others are alone groupe.

Milight order are here : http://www.nemcon.nl/blog2/faq

@ home 1 rflink take place of 2 milight gateway.

Got some scripts who pair milight to Chacon switch. Using Speedup Domoticz script trick reaction is near 500ms.
