Anyone using the LEDENET Magic UFO LED WIFI Controller

[Animeimp]

I received one of these in last week, and while only a iPhone and Android client have been written for them, I got the documentation from China, and with much packet captures, have gotten it working from a PC, and now in Domoticz. The functionality within Domoticz is actually via a Node.Red configuration with a web interface, but if there is any interest, I will look at making a hardware module for Domoticz. It is a rather nice unit, runs about $25 USD, and can be either a AP or Client on wireless networks, and draws very little power for itself.

Hi Animeimp,

I am using 2 Magic UFO controllers, and i would like to use them zith Domoticz.
Did you make the hardware module? Or can you guide me in connecting the magic ufo to my Domoticz.

Thanks.

A Ruby implementation is available at https://github.com/sidoh/ledenet_api/bl ... /README.md
Are you a programmer?

[JelleD]

I am not a programmer, so this is new for me.

Do i need to install Ruby? Or is it already on the raspberry install?

Hi to all,
I've sucesfully installed the ledenet, but still get some issue about:
even if the --on parameter is given, it does not power on (status is_on:false always returned)
I'm unclear how to integrate it with Domoticz...
I assume I should have to create a virtual rgbw switch then assign a script that should gather the RGBW parameters... but the virtual RGB switch does not provide such information yet... correct?

thanks in advance
ciao

some have the api working?

And how to use it?

[emme]

nope!
I still have the issue that the api works but it does not power ON/OFF...
so I moved to a Fibaro RGBWController

[Derik]

mmm And how can you control the Fibaro? can you set different scenes? and different colors? or start the fibaro in the last color-range?

[emme]

yes I control the Fibaro via DOmoticz and Aeotec G5 stick
yes I control scenes with a virtual selector switch and a bit of help: http://domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=69242#p69242,
of course I can select a specific color
and.... I think so, never tried, but I'm quite sure if you power off and back on the color will be still the same
just the animation programs will override your color settings

I tried using this (lua script):

commandArray = {};
DomDevice = '???'
IP = '192.168.2.180'
Port = '5577';
print("UFO LED Controller Script")

function send(msg)
runcommand = "echo "..msg .."| telnet "..IP.." "..Port.." "
print (runcommand)
os.execute(runcommand)
end

if devicechanged[DomDevice] then
if(devicechanged[DomDevice]=='Off') then
print("Turning OFF")
send(string.char(113,36,15,164))
send(string.char(113,36,15,164,255,0,65))
elseif (devicechanged[DomDevice]=='On') then
print("Turning On")
send(string.char(113,35,15,163))
else
print(devicechanged[DomDevice].." is neither ON or OFF")
end
end;
return commandArray

Someone have a How To... for the use of this UFO controller...
I will try...
Only i cannot understand the use of the Ha_gateway
..
....

[sweup]

Someone got Magic Ufo to play nicely with domoticz (on/off, colors etc)? Would really appreciate some guidance if someone got it working.
