Mi-Light / LimitlessLED / Applamp

Pergotje · Post by **Pergotje** » Saturday 09 May 2015 13:19

There are many topics talking about this RGB led controller.
But I can't find the information I need.

First, for everyone who use's the Mi-Light / LimitlessLED / Applamp and can't acces the Wifi-settings because it's V4 and sees only the Firmware update function.
There is an app for Windows downloadable at http://www.limitlessled.com/download/LimitlessLEDv4.zip
There you can acces the Wifi-controller to change the settings and/or set an IP.

I use the Mi-Light with 4 RGB ledstrips.
In Domoticz I go to HARDWARE and add the "Limitless/AppLamp with LAN interface"
Then I see in Devices 5 new devices.
The 4 zone's, 1 group and the one for changing colour or mode.

The problem is, they are for RGBW and don't work for me.
I delete the RGBW device's.
I set the mode to RGB
Then i only see the colourchange device, but not the other four device's

When I set the mode back to RGBW all devices come back.

How to get the devices working with RGB?

I also work with the bash scripts and that works fine. But therefore its not necessary to add the device.

Hello Pergotje,

Can you please help me out with the following issue?
I have downloaded a script that is installed on my Synology DS214 play. The Synology NAS is also my Domoticz server.
Domoticz tries to run this script, but I failes to do so...
My question is --> Is there a specific script language I have to use? Below you can see the script that I found on the Internet.
Thank you in Advance!!!

Is this the same thing as the Applamp Wifi controller? Looks like the Applamp branded box on applamp.nl

Will it work in Domoticz?

Hanss, if i remember correctly synology uses ash not bash as used in your script

Hanss · Post by **Hanss** » Thursday 14 May 2015 17:42

Thats true, but I dont get this bash script to work even when I rewrite it in ash instead of bash .

Pergotje · Post by **Pergotje** » Thursday 28 May 2015 21:12

I have very small scripts
Seems to be important to give the good rights to the script.

Bash with putty works, but activate with Domoticz only with

Code: Select all

chmod +x "scriptnaam"

To turn al the lichts on:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
echo -n -e "\x42\x00" | nc -u -q 1 192.168.192.11 8899 # Alles AAN
echo -n -e "\x4E\x3B" | nc -u -q 1 192.168.192.11 8899 # dimm maximum

All off:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
echo -n -e "\x4E\x04" | nc -u -q 1 192.168.192.11 8899 # dimm to low value
echo -n -e "\x41\x00" | nc -u -q 1 192.168.192.11 8899 # switch off

Light yellow collor

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
echo -n -e "\x42\x00" | nc -u -q 1 192.168.192.11 8899 # Alles AAN
echo -n -e "\x4E\x04" | nc -u -q 1 192.168.192.11 8899 # dimmen
echo -n -e "\x40\x99" | nc -u -q 1 192.168.192.11 8899 # kleur geeloranje

putty
cd /home/pi/domoticz/scripts

nano "script"

script beginnen met:
#!/bin/bash
#

dan de opdracht:
echo ________________

na opslaan testen met bash -script

dan rechten aanpassen met opdracht:
chmod +x "scriptnaam"

script toevoegen in Domoticz:
script://home/pi/domotics/scripts.......

I am pulling my hair out....

Got a very simle bash script to setup the Milight in disco mode. (When some doorswitches are triggered)

I have to press three times on the specified button on the remote, so in the script i have set the specific mode.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
#

echo -n -e "\x4D\x77" | nc -u -q 1 192.168.1.239 8899
echo -n -e "\x4D\x77" | nc -u -q 1 192.168.1.239 8899
echo -n -e "\x4D\x77" | nc -u -q 1 192.168.1.239 8899

I have set the rights with "sudo chmod +x yourscript.sh"

Made a virtual switch and set the directory to the script with the "ON" action.

What am i overseeing here? When i execute the bash in Putty the script works.

Do you have 3 slashes after script in the ON command? So script:/// ?

WT... That was it!! Thanks...

In the wiki there is a pic with two dashes. Changed the wiki right away.

You need a Milight gateway. A Wifi module which can receive and send commands to the Milight rgb modules.
Domoticz send these commands to the Wifi module and the gateway to the rgb modules.

Domoticz send to Gateway and gateway send to receive ?

But i look in domoticz and in hardware not found config to Mi Light. How i must configure it ?

And this package is ok whichc i show on aliiexpress ?
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/4pcs-RGB ... 5,201409_1

Controller is in package.
I connect controller to my WIFI or by USB to Raspberry with Domoticz ?

The set you mention is complete.

First you have to setup the Milight controller/gateway as posted here: http://www.milight.com/support/#A3 for convenience you can use the program limitless bridge 5.0. http://www.limitlessled.com/download/LimitlessLEDv5.zip

Fill in the credentials and be sure to set the controller in STA mode.

In domoticz you must add the Limitless app device and fill in the IP adres. Set devices to accept new hardware and go to setup in Hardware and select RGBW oR RGB. ANd new switches will be made.

The USB on the Milight gateway is only for powering not for communication.

Maybe developer should correct in domoticz in HARDWARE from:

Limitless/AppLamp with LAN interface

to

Mi Light/Limitless/AppLamp with LAN/WiFi interface

you already pushed an update in github. nice;)

Hi,

Intégration with dimmer is really great.

Is there a way to get the night mode without script or Android app ?
