It took me a whole evening to figure out how to get the Aeotec LED Bulb Advanced Features working.
After googling for information I had to conclude that there is no tutorial for this and so I figured it out and write this manual to help others.
I could have written this in the wiki but because I am not sure where to place it I decided to create a forum topic.
Background story
I want to use the Aeotec LED Bulb as a part of the security system by letting is flash red and orange/yellow.
At first I created scenes for one colour each and made a python script to activate the scenes.
It didn't took long to realize that it didn't work as I expected.
Whenever the controller receives data from other sensors the python script is put on hold. This resulted in a very irregular colour changing.
After reading the Aeotec LED Bulb manual it became clear that it is possible to send a command to the bulb and have it do the flashing itself.
The manual can be found here
As a java Software Developer I do understand binary so I started to read the manual. Soon I concluded it wasn't easy for me to do.
As stubborn as I am I started working on this puzzle and put all my findings in an excel sheet.
Results
The easiest was to create a picture of the excel sheet I created.
The excel shown in the picture is attached to the post.
In order to read this excel you do need a bit of binary knowledge.
