AWOX SmartLight support, please?

Hi, Im a new member to this forum but I really appreciate all your help you have given me setting up Home Assistant - thank you for all great posts! Im halfway done building my smart home with HA and more than 40 bulbs, plugs and devices.

The only problem is that my AWOX devices seems not to be compatible with HA :frowning: And I wonder if there is any chance you can add support for it? Google Home already has support for AWOX, but I would love to have all my 5 AWOX ceiling lamps working with HA as well…

AWOX has a big range of smart lights, bulbs, ceiling lamps made for example by Eglo here in Sweden. The lamps/bulbs are Bluetooth but together with a AWOX Wifi Smart Plug Plus bridge (awbridge), they operate with Wifi through the plug.

Is there any chance you could have a look at the AWOX Android app and make it compatible, just like Tuya and many others? Or maybe at least make the devices possible to add manually in the configuration?

Thank you very much in advance
Greetings
Martin

I would be interested too. In Germany, Switzerland and Austria this lamps are sold in many stores. And they have a really wide range of different bulps. The price is also very fair. Actually a must for home assistant!

Indeed, Awox has a lot of nice looking smart home lights reasonably priced. I use 5 different, and also invested in a bunch Smart Pebble wall switches made for Awox, to make the lights more wife-friendly.

But for now, I have made a temporary working solution to turn on and off the Awox lights within Home Assistant, check my post here:

Hi any new feedback on this topic, it would really help!

It works, only with this article from Eglo

@Kis_Janos, this was a link to a product page, no article. Can you maybe update?
Thx!!

+1, if anyone has a solution, pls help.

I’m currently working on a integration. Have a first prototype running where I can control 2 of my ceiling lights directly from Homeassistent over bluetooth.

It’s based on the work from https://github.com/Leiaz/python-awox-mesh-light

Need to find a solution for the discovery of new lights before it’s ready for the public :smile:

The beta version of a AwoX integration is available here GitHub - fsaris/home-assistant-awox: AwoX mesh light integration for Home Assistant

Currently only supports lights as I don’t have a smart plug myself. So I’m not able to test it :slight_smile:

I am testing your integration and work very fine except Bluetooth mesh stability connection I have to reload integration a few time at day because show as connected but is not.
Great job thx very much I can connect with Siri using hombridge.
Thx you. I hope you can continue improve the integration

Please try latest version it should automatically reconnect when the mesh doesn’t respond

Ohh cool, how I can update??

If you installed it via HASC the new version should show up automatically

Hello,
I can no longer connect to the Awox integration.
I have the message: Unknown error occurred
Yesterday it worked. I removed and reinstalled the integration and today I can no longer sign in.

This is because the name of my lamp contained a space.
I renamed the bulb and it’s ok.

Hello, I am very happy with your integration but I don’t know if you Can add effect to awox light un home assistant like police, strobe color, disco… I think could be an interesting improvement.

Is it possible to control multiple lights simultaneously? We have 9 Eglo Salobrena-C lights and when i try to control all of them it goes trough one by one with a slight delay.

Currently not, the devices can not pass the commands faster. If the commands would be sent faster not all would be processed.

I’m currently working on a ESPHome version to control the lights and once the basics are working I will look if it’s possible to integrate the “group” option as available in the awox app

I have light based on tlsr8258 that is “connect.z”, but it hardly ever connects to BT and zigbee is even worse.

Is there some project like GitHub - pvvx/ATC_MiThermometer: Custom firmware for the Xiaomi Thermometers and Telink Flasher but for lights, that I just can’t find?
