Help controlling Mi-Light without wifi bridge.

[burton666]

After reading and building this simple node: http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/3607/m ... ysensors/2 I tried pairing/controlling a couple of bulbs without success.

The first time I managed to get a bulb paired as a simple white on/off switch and I could turn the bulb on and off. Then I fiddled around and now I cant control it in any way. I tried adding a mi-light from a dummy switch. But that did not work. Now I cant even control on/of any more. Does anyone know how to solve this?

I noticed that the sketch used the variables s_light and S_custom and S_custom is not supported by domoticz I think. So I changed to s_rgbw_light and now I get a rgbw light in domotizs that I can turn on off. But nothing happens when I try to dim or change rgb value

Hi
Can You write how did You do that?
What should I do in Domoticz (raspberry) to get it work?
I have RGB bulbs but I only want to switch them ON and OFF without WiFI Bridge from Milight.

Thx for answer

Follow the link in the first post and just connect a Nrf24 radio to a arduino (there are tutorials on the mysensors.org site if you have not done it before). Then you just upload the sketch in the first post to the arduino (I think you need to add a new S_light in the sets for every bulb you want to control.
Then you will get a bunch of new switches in domotizs after you power the node up. Then you turn one bulb on and within a few seconds you turn a lightswitch on in domotizs and it should be paired.

I have only tried with one bulb and it worked. But if you want to wait the RFlink people will probably soon support mi-light too.

Thank You very much for answer

I think I try to do that. I think Milight bulbs are preety good (and low cost) but Milight bridge and only 4 zones in it are big problem.

I must say I don't know how to make it to work:(

I made arduino nano Mysensors serial Gateway
I put on it the code from the first post You have linked
I connected arduino to Domoticz by USB port /dev/tty/USB0
But there is no switches in Devices section
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Best regards

You first make the gateway using a nano and nrf24 radio and upload the serial gateway code to it. Then you make another arduino/nrf24 using the info from the first post and upload that sketch to it.

Once again Thank You for answer
Now I know what I'm doing wrong.
I need to buy another arduino
Thx

Hi again

I was able to pair with one bulb but I don't know what to do to pair with others?

Any idea?

Best regard

Anybody?
