Domoticz

I have purchased a couple of WiFi RGB controllers. They use esp8266 with three mosfets(?) for each of the channels. I have spent the past 3 days googling around and running wire shark and packet capture on my android tablet. The app from Google play works fine with it and I'd now like to integrate it into Domoticz.

Despite all the hunting around I have not yet found a way to control it from Domoticz - Firstly, is there a device compatible with this creature or, secondly, has anybody got any pointers to where I might start to incorporate it. The pictures below illustrate the controller and it looks like a range of similar controllers from other sources.

Any help will be very much appreciated.

Look at ESPEasy, there is a plugin for rgbw led, it's use milight protocole, then Domoticz "spoke" Milight language.

I drive 2 H801 led contrôler with this

Thank you for that advice, I had a feeling that might be the way I'd have to go. Now I will take it apart and see how it is set up, then how to flash it.

Thank you for your time.

Did you get it to work with Domoticz??

@ work perhaps???

https://github.com/beville/flux_led this works, maybe it can be intergrated in domoticz, im just calling the flux-led.py now from dummy switches.

anyone??

Make connection with your wifi with the magic home app.
Look for the ip adres from the controller.

Add new magic home hardware.
Fill in the ip adres.

Look at the devices..

Works great

Add new magic home hardware.

I did not find any similar named device in the "type" list, so can you explain a little more detailed how it could be add this kind of device?

I also cannot find any magic home device, only Limitless / AppLight / MiLight.
Did anyone succeed to get it working directly with domoticz ?

Yes

Use hardware Arilux AL-LC0x. When you add a device use IP of device

Nice, i could put device on/off but it will not work to change colors, or strength on light. Is there anymore modifications thats need to be done?

I can change colour , but no dim .

I have a iNextStation WiFi Wireless LED Smart Controller

It seems that in my version of Domoticz this "hardware" Arilux AL-LC0x is no longer available for adding. Who knows an alternative?

How to install and drive this h801 controller ?

Does anyone have the direct IP commands? Ie got it to turn it on and offf working, but not color change or modes
On/off 113;35;15;163;129;138;139;150

Here is a project which is a good starting point: https://github.com/beville/flux_led
Here is a documentation about the communication protocol (I checked just partially): https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zoot1 ... MH_API.txt

As stated previously, some king of limited support can be obtained by using the Arilux AL-LC0x hardware and then adding each light with the corresponding IP (on the HW section) and after adding the device (two steps required for each light)

Color change works but no the dimmer part.

In the other hand, the python script (https://github.com/beville/flux_led) works really nice, but only on/off can be implemented on a virtual switch.

I think our best option is to officially request the support for the device by implementing the commands on the python script directly in Domoticz.

If we all vote for the request maybe we can get it implemented. This is the cheapest WiFi RGB controller out there...

There are also other people trying to change the firmware (as the device is running ESP826 chip) but this will be hard to do for some people.

Opinions?

Just found another possible way...

Convert the flux_led pyton script into a Domoticz plugin:

http://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Developing_a_Python_plugin

Seems it can be done with some work. Only the initial definitions so Domoticz will understand it and then for the basic on/off, color and dimmer shouldn't be difficult for someone knowing what to do.

Seems domoticz can call the pluging with the required parameters (ip and colors) and then the python will do the magic....

hi there,

i use a lot of these led ufos ld 382 as well. still searching for a nice and easy implementation of this in domoticz.

will it be supported by default in next time?

i do not have the knowlegde to build up own scripts...

thanks
