That is probably because cc/ww is not supported yet..

Any idea when this will be implemented? Dying to buy the latest RGB+cct led controllers but before I do, I am considering to get me a rf-link transceiver when the new milight v6 is supported...

thats strange

explains how to pair cc/ww bulbs nowhere does it say its no supported

it only says rgbww is not supported

I assumed they were supported as well based on that information, and as mentioned previously, i have one working, i just cant get any more working. Has the cc/ww protocol changed or something?

The last Milight version (RGBWW aka CCT) is not supported yet.

I paired a bulb (9W RGBW FUT016) doing this:
10;MiLightv1;F740;01;34BC;PAIR;
Followed by a 20/Echo command and the Bulb works in Domoticz. Now I want to Unpair it and I do this:
Toggle the connected power and then within 3 sec I send this:
10;MiLightv1;F740;01;34BC;UNPAIR;
The light goes white and doesn’t blink to confirm Unpairing, the command fails and it remains paired.

Have tried it through HW->Create Device and a commandline echo (I'm on a RPI3) with the same result.

Using the latest Rflink firmware and latest stable Domoticz release.

Anyone know what’s wrong?

Searched a lot on internet, read the whole website from RFLink, lot's of topics here and search the nodo webshop (read all the PDF documents found in the download section) but cannot find any good wiring circuit about 2,4GHz board for use with MiLight. I read that the nodo connector on the PCB is not for MiLight and that you have to follow the wiring diagram on the RFLink website.

Found a whole page of text but really no good wiring diagram at the point about the NRF24L01 for use with MiLight on an Arduino Mega. The pinout is very clear of the NRF24L01 but how to wire to the Mega for MiLight use in RFLink?

That depends..
If you have a pcb from nodo show with version 1.1.3 or higher you can put the nrf in the socket.

If you have no PCB and just want to connect the NRF to the Mega pins then the pinout is descirbed on the rflink wiring page:
http://www.rflink.nl/blog2/wiring under NRF24L01 - MiLight / Applamp / Limitless Led support

NRF = description = Mega
Pin 1 = (Ground) = Ground
Pin 2 = (VCC) = VCC (3.3 volt) Warning: Max 3.6 volt, do NOT connect to 5 volt!
Pin 3 = (CE) = MEGA Pin 48
Pin 4 = (CS) = MEGA Pin 49
Pin 5 = (SCK) = MEGA Pin 52
Pin 6 = (MOSI) = MEGA Pin 51
Pin 7 = (MISO) = MEGA Pin 50
Pin 8 = (IRQ) = Not Connected

The Mega has a 3.3 volt pin, it might or might not supply enough current to power the NRF.
If you have a Nodo PCB below version 1.1.3 then that PCB has a decent 3.3 volt pin that you can use.

Thank you very very much.

So a PCB version 1.1.3 and up, put the NRF24L01 in the NRF socket, no (extra) wiring diagram needed here.

A PCB version 1.1.2 and lower use the wiring table you provided.

On the website I found this table but missed the tableheader (it is not on the website) you stated here: "NRF = description = Mega" so that's why I did not understand that is the wiring diagram. I only read that as the NRF pinout :oops:

Hi Guys

I'm now running version 47 of the Milight firmware but am still unable to get my FUT035 LED strip controller to pair, I am using the 'A' set of instructions from the Milight FAQ on the Nodo site.

I can get it to pair and unpair to a milight remote just fine and I also have an older model Milight strip controller that works perfectly with my RFLink.

Any advice?

I have a strange issue with MiLight protocol, wondering if I'm the only one.

I recently started adding my MiLight remotes to Domoticz via RFLink to gain better control of the lights (keep them in sync, allow the remotes to be used to start scenes etc.). At least with one of the remotes I have the issue that if I'm controlling group 1 and press dimming, RFLink will also see that group 2 is sent with an "On" command. Groups 3 and 4 don't react this way. I noticed this when I added a script that will turn on an additional lamp if group 2 is set "On" two times within 3 seconds. This was activated every time I dimmed group 1 and when I checked the device log indeed there is "On" repeating with group 2 as well consistently.

It is understandable that "On" is sent to group 1 when dimming it, although it would be even better if only the "On" / "Off" buttons would set the device status to On and Off respectively. And dimming would set it to "Set Level" or similar. But maybe this is not doable with the protocol.

Btw, I'm still on R47 so I'll next see if R48 helps...

Hi all,

Been reading through this topic, but am a bit in doubt. My RFLink PCB says it's version 1.1. Does this mean I cannot use the 8 pin header for my NRF transceiver to control milight? I need to wire it directly to the Arduino Mega?

Regards,
Marco
