Sorry for not being clear.
Please go to http://www.nemcon.nl/blog2/faq and check the section named "RFlink with NRF24L01:"
Ask if it is not clear and I will do my best to add some more info.

Ahh, now I managed to pair a bulb. But I still have some problems, the colors are not "correct" and I am unable to turn the bulb off. Also I often have to select a color multiple times for it to change.

And a new question, If I pair a bulb with some random ID and then remove the bulb from domoticz. Can I still unpair it without knowing the bulb id ?

About unpairing : no you need id, RFLink is the same as a remote, if you don't have it you can't unpair.

in theory you could unpair it by guessing the id.. however.. it will take a long time to try all 65536 ID's

So it's not possible to make the the SPI interfaces swappable in the firmware so we could use the onboard header if NODO is not used? I'm now in the situation that I cannot send/receive Mii light signals.
So my possible problems:
* Bad wiring (swapped)
* Bad connection (high impendance)
* Bad power supply
* Dodgy NRF24L01 board
* Not correctly activated in the Rflink configurator
* RF noise

The first 3 issues could be avoided by using the onboard header.

So I know what to do this sunday :)
I think I will kill my MySensor setup to salvage the NRF board, one less variable in the mix.

Edit:
Ok so I got it to work by using the power from the NODO NRF interface header and a new NRF24L01 board.

The RGBW function isn't quite working like it should. When I make a scene with 2 lights which I set to RGBW, and two which I set to RGB. Only one RGB light switches on with a color I didn't set.

The exact same setup wit the mii light wifi bridge works great. So it mus be sending more information to each light?

Does your rflink is near the milight bridge ?

On m'y case RFLink is not central as the milight gateway, i ve to send order twice to light on/off or change color to m'y farest bulb.

They are 30 cm from eachother. The distance is not a problem.

It's not only in a scene I see now. When I switch on a light and afterwards a second light, they both change to the same color and when I move the slider the brightness of them both changes.

Maybe I have to pair them again using different ID's, and not only different zones. Looks like there is my problem now.

This is rbg bulb or rgbw ones ?

Got 10 rgbw Bulbs, on 6 group, 4 got the same group and id drive by a scène and set as rgbw dimmer, 2 others got same group & id set as on/off, other are individual group and id as on/off.

For those 4 who are driven by a scène no problème on color drive or dimmer set.

Given that the NRF24L01 connects directly to the mega, is a RFLink Gateway board required at all if you only want to control milights?

No, you can use just the milight part..
but while you are at it.. you might want to wire a cheap RF receiver as well, it is so much more fun :)

I experience this same behaviour with mine.

Need to update to beta release or wait for new stable version of Domoticz.

If you already have a recent beta, you might want to check with a different browser.. it seems the Domoticz buttons are not always shown depending on the browser type.

We are looking into the color/brightness issue..

Hello everybody,

I have RGB strip led, and soon RGBW strip led, and are interested by your mi-light support.
My question is what HW do I need besides the RFlink I already have ?
Just a controller :
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/1pcs-dc1 ... 77760.html
or this :
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2015-new ... 33255.html

Thank you for your feedback,

Last question, the controller can drive RGBW and RGB strip led ?

Only the first I think.
The second is a wifi bridge.. RFlink is a serial bridge but in combination with Domoticz you can reach it via Wifi anyway

I allready have a NRF24L01 on my RFLink (the one thats comes with the RFLink) I think I don't us that one for any of my device. Is it possible to use that one for mi-light?
