Domoticz

Curious if this DIY project would be easily controllable via Domoticz?

If yes, would the Domoticz front end allow for the easy selection of color, etc like he demo's in the video?

Thanks!

Yes you can, that already done with EasyESP FW, and custom pugin aviable on playground.

I already test the LUA FW you introduce with domoticz + H801 wifi led controler, and it works great, but no way to make White Channel

yea rgbw is a bit of an issue with domotiz
is there no way to make a secondary dimmer switch for white ?

how is this done with milight and hue ?

this was my project with an ESP8266 and RGB led's to copy a philips hue device

edit: now with the url pasted corretly

awesome project I love the hue bridge idea
is any work still being done on it ?
for some reason my version works ok but cant get anything to output on any esp

Already test a hue bridge with ws2812b led probleme was that each led are considere as 1 bulb, not waf for a 100 pcs led strip.

Sketch was a poc needing more stability.

Can you share it true github ?

If your able to drive them all as a only bulb that will be nice.

@ledfreak3d : for white channel i manage to use w1 and w2 true ESPEasy using PW command and a lua script + 1 virtual dimmer.

there are 2 versions of the hue code one with ws2812b leds and one with pwm rgb output
the last one does not work ok for me the one with neopixels does but indead every pixel is seen as one hue light witch is not very handy but should not be to hard to modify

Fact is ws2812b led strip is usefull for effect, use this to set every led to the same color is a non sense, it use power of led strip at 10% only.

Someone working on a real ws2812b intergration with ESPEasy let's see.

Milight emulation with h801 module works like a charm and is natively driven by Domoticz. This solution is good.

Even if you don't need color but drive 5 led strip independtly one from other ESPEasy and PWM (for dimming) or GPIO command (for simple ON/OFF) do the job to, but without pur domoticz integration, you have to use dummy.

does the milight emulation work ok with 5 channels bij default ?
I was only able to control rgb.

hardware wyse I can design anything you want but my limitation is the software side

Milight project works with rgb only.

For w1 and w2 you need :

does anybody happen to have the bin file for the easy esp with milight plugin fw? I have asked about this here as I am having huge trouble trying to compile it.
viewtopic.php?f=56&t=13891
Well what I am specifically asking for is if you have the bin file? or is there a way to create a bin file as I am very familiar with flashing the bin file to esp8266

It's better to solve your compiling probleme ! This the only way to learn how it works.

I do agree but I have already spent 8-10 hours on this. There comes a point in time when the time spent out weights the need for one of these units. I unfortunately am very busy so the 8-10 hours have been spent over the course of a few weeks if I spend more its like 30 minute a night or something like this and if someone has done this already it would save others (not just me) a TON of time.
I use the bin file because it saves me time and covers 98% of all tasks I want to use easy esp for. This is the first that I have encountered that I actually need something outside easyesp
I usually search for open source or premade items like the easy esp firmware becasue it makes zero sense for another person to spend time on a project when it has already done by others and most likely they can help

this is just my opinon though, I still agree with what you said just I don't have hours to spend on already working projects by others
