For instance:

Code: Select all

 pi@raspberrypi ~/domoticz/scripts $ echo -n -e "\x40\x47" | nc -u -q 1 192.168.1.21 8899 

will work.

But the following script:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
sleep 1
echo -n -e "\x40\x47" | nc -u -q 1 192.168.1.21 8899    # change to ochtend kleur

does not work when I give the command

Code: Select all

 sh milight_ochtend.sh

Where is my mistake?

Yes, I think we're having the same issue (see above) I'm running latest beta on RPi2.

Edit: did some testing and when setting mode to RGB the added device has the buttons as well. But even if I add a new hardware with RGBW mode the buttons are missing. I guess it cannot be intended?

Edit2: well well, it seems the buttons are only available in the group switch. Still wondering though why not on individual groups?

I tried to make it work via the normal procedure and scripting but it doesn't work, unfortunately.

And my understanding of the new API on http://www.limitlessled.com/dev/ is quite limited to send the new commands.

Anyone can help?

Unfortunately you cannot use the new API (i.e. Wifi Box1 or Wifi Box2) with Domoticz yet - until someone figures out how to build support for it. I think this is already mentioned in a couple of threads (including this ) that here that are about MiLight. It also seems that people who have worked a lot with the older api's are struggling to understand the new, not many similarities with the older apis I guess.

If you are in a hurry then what you can do now is to get the old wifi bridge which can control the new bulbs for on / off / dim level / color (but not color temperature through Domoticz). There is also an ugly workaround to change the color temperature which involves using some external script that allows sending S+ / S- (program speed up / down) to individual group. It is not very convenient, I admit, and therefore I'm also looking forward that someone is able to crack the secrets of the new api...

In my experience this works the same with all apis and hardware. You turn the lamp on from the physical switch and within 3 seconds press "On" button of the group with which you want to do the pairing. I've paired new bulbs with both the old bridge (v5) and new iBox (v6) with this method and of course old RGBW bulbs with the old bridge (v5). What I have not tried is to pair old RGBWW with the new iBox but I assume it works as the iPhone app has layouts available for all kinds of bulbs...
