Are these bulbs able to be setup in HA:
Looks like a nice/cheap option.

Roundabout, but it appears to work if you connect the Wiz app to SmartThings, then setup the SmartThings integration in HA.
Not great long termāwould love a direct implementation, but until we get an open API, its workable.
I bought 3 of these from Home Depot a couple of weeks ago (BR30 can lights rather than the bulb), and I really like them. I enabled the IFTTT->Wiz link since I already have the HA->IFTTT integration setup for other things. You can set on/off/brightness/color/scenes individually or in groups from HA by sending IFTTT web maker triggers. Note that the IFTTT->Wiz integration is one-way - so HA can control the lights through IFTTT, but it canāt query the lights for their current status. It would be nice if there was a direct integration since with IFTTT thereās a couple seconds delay, but pretty good for my needs.
Has anyone found a better way of integrating these into HA?
I have a working OpenHAB binding for them: https://github.com/SRGDamia1/openhab2-addons/tree/wizlighting2/bundles/org.openhab.binding.wizlighting
While all their integrations are cloud based, when youāre in the same network you can control the bulbs locally over UDP. (Thatās actually what the app does as well.) Controlling them with UDP doesnāt seem to interfere in any way with their cloud connectivity.
Most of what I reverse-engineered about their local protocol is here: https://github.com/SRGDamia1/openhab2-addons/blob/025b9739935b6ea87ecba6cf02c417d0434873e1/bundles/org.openhab.binding.wizlighting/src/main/java/org/openhab/binding/wizlighting/internal/enums/WizLightingMethodType.java

Hey,
Iām still working on a python3 translation/implementation to push a home assistant integration.
Contributions are welcome 
- the repo. can be found on GitHub: https://github.com/sbidy/pywizlight
Currently only tested with the SLV Play bulb.

Hey @Sbidy I just noticed that they came out with the Wiz remote and motion sensor recently. Any plans on integrating them into pywizlight?
Github is awesome, works perfectly!!
but I found this in my logs (every second)

Is this just failed connections to bulbs that are shut off?
Thanks.
I have the wiz remote and sensor branded under Philips, let me know if you need any info like device id etc, though i am not sure how to get them.

Dear Mr Stephan āSbidyā I want to thank you for writing PyWizLight. I am new to Wiz, and may I ask if your code will help me? I just want to control my bulb(s) with Python. I donāt have any smart home program, and I donāt want one, but your posts use the word āintegrationā. Does this mean that it only works in conjunction with another program? If I want buttons and controls, Iāll use Tkinter! Also, I donāt understand how the bulb can connect to my router when it doesnāt know my WiFi password. Is there a place where these basic things are explained?
the bulb DOES know your wifi password, you have to set up the bulb on your network using the Wiz app on a smartphone.
in regards to āintegrationā, this forum is specific to home assistant, and thus discussions will skew heavily toward things that are relevant to it, such as integration of a product into the platform. the python library will probably let you do what you want
Thank you, Richie for the answer! I would have greatly preferred not to have to use the Wiz app at all (who knows how much of a privacy leak it is?) But I guess I can learn to live with it. Do you know if the app works privately, or needs to connect to a server? The reason I want to program it myself is because I donāt want to change my Wifi Password one day only to find that my bulbs are toast because the Wiz app canāt connect to the server because it was retired five years ago, or something. Or, my Cellphone is running some open-source OS and the Wiz app wonāt run on it. Iām here because I hate being controlled by closed-source software that āphones homeā, updates without asking, leaks your data, and stops working when the company behind it goes bust.
I believe some people are trying to reverse engineer the setup process, but right now I have no idea how much data goes out the LAN.
I am using a separate Wifi SSID and network subnet for just for devices like this, you can block internet access to all the devices at once so no phoning home or unexpected updates
Actually a separate LAN is a really good idea. Iām heartened to find a forum with like-minded people in it, even if Iāve only āspokenā to you @richieframe. I wonder if I could get a USB wifi (WAP) dongle, and use it to create a bulb-only SSID. Perhaps I could use that android emulator (blue something???) to run the setup. This opens up a new angle that I hadnāt thought of, the way that the Internet ājust worksā on an OS. I mean, I would want all my regular apps to use the Ethernet cable as usual, but my emulator and pyWizLight scripts to use only the network on the dongle. I have NO idea how to do that! It sounds like fun, though.
