Blitzwolf BW-LT11 mqtt set-up help

DenielTorres · April 8, 2019, 10:09pm

Hi all! I just successfully flashed a Blitzwolf BW-LT11 LED strip with Tuya convert. Although I’m having issues with the MQTT set-up. Has anybody set this up before or have an idea how to set the MQTT?
My current is config is the following:

    name: "Nepal"
    state_topic: "stat/LEDNepal/POWER"
    command_topic: "cmnd/LEDNepal/POWER"
    #brightness_state_topic: "stat/LEDNepal/status"
    #brightness_command_topic: "cmnd/LEDNepal/brightness/set"
    #rgb_state_topic: "stat/LEDNepal/rgb/status"
    #rgb_command_topic: "cmnd/LEDNepal/rgb/set"
    #effect_state_topic: "stat/LEDNepal/effect/status"
    #effect_command_topic: "cmnd/LEDNepal/effect/set"
    #effect_list:
    #  - rainbow
    #  - rainbow_with_glitter
    #  - confetti
    #  - sinelon
    #  - bpm
    #  - juggle
    #  - candycane
    qos: 1
    payload_on: "on"
    payload_off: "off"
    retain: false

Unfortunately not even the command power or status are working.

I followed this guide Digiblur’s Smart bulb guide and setup the BW-LT11 as a RGBW light. Also check that in Tasmota, the MQTT topic prefix matches your settings in HA.

Thanks carlb! That did the trick, although in addition I had to enable SetOption15 as well. In case anybody would need it in the future, this is the final config:

- platform: mqtt
    name: "Nepal"
    command_topic: "cmnd/LEDNepal/POWER"
    state_topic: "stat/LEDNepal/RESULT"
    state_value_template: "{{value_json.POWER}}"
    availability_topic: "tele/LEDNepal/LWT"
    brightness_command_topic: "cmnd/LEDNepal/Dimmer"
    brightness_state_topic: "stat/LEDNepal/RESULT"
    brightness_scale: 100
    on_command_type: "brightness"
    brightness_value_template: "{{value_json.Dimmer}}"
    white_value_state_topic: "stat/LEDNepal/RESULT"
    white_value_command_topic: "cmnd/LEDNepal/white"
    white_value_scale: 100
    white_value_template: "{{ value_json.Channel[3] }}"
    rgb_command_topic: "cmnd/LEDNepal/Color2"
    rgb_state_topic: "stat/LEDNepal/RESULT"
    rgb_value_template: "{{value_json.Color.split(',')[0:3]|join(',')}}"
    effect_command_topic: "cmnd/LEDNepal/Scheme"
    effect_state_topic: "stat/LEDNepal/RESULT"
    effect_value_template: "{{value_json.Scheme}}"
    effect_list:
      - 0
      - 1
      - 2
      - 3
      - 4
    payload_on: "ON"
    payload_off: "OFF"
    qos: 1
    retain: false

Hi!

Could you send me a link how to flash it?
I didn’t find any information about this…

thanks!

DenielTorres · May 2, 2019, 5:38pm

Hi @Stirlitz! Sure, you can just use the Tuya convert flash (it’s OTA, so super easy to do), here is the link to the Github page: https://github.com/ct-Open-Source/tuya-convert. Let me know of you have difficulties

Stirlitz · May 6, 2019, 3:14pm

Hi @DenielTorres!
Thanks for your help, i was able to flash the led strip with tasmota
Next step to add it to my HA, but i think will be fine

xicoamaral · May 20, 2019, 2:51pm

Hi,

Any guide how to flash tasmota in the BW-LT11?

Thank you

DenielTorres · May 21, 2019, 9:47pm

Hey @xicoamaral 2 posts above you’ll find a link to a step-by-step guide how to flash this led strip.

xicoamaral · May 22, 2019, 11:50am

Yeah, thank you. tought tuya-convert and tasmota were different things, they are but one leads to the other

xicoamaral · May 26, 2019, 1:09am

@DenielTorres
Hey, sucessfully installed tasmota on my BW-LT11 now witch module type are you guys using? Do i have to change some special GPIO’s?

Thank you,

DenielTorres · May 26, 2019, 7:25am

I use the below, works like a charm!

xicoamaral · May 28, 2019, 9:53am

@DenielTorres

I don’t have that module type…from blitzwolf only have Blitzwolf SHP…

Fabrice_Barthelemy · June 6, 2019, 6:51pm

i try but it doesn’t work , i push the button for 5 second and led flash in red but tuya convert don’t find him …

DenielTorres · June 7, 2019, 7:57pm

Sorry mate! I completely forgot that you need to add it first from a template. Add this: {"NAME":"BW-LT11 Strip","GPIO":[17,255,255,255,37,40,255,255,38,255,39,255,255],"FLAG":0,"BASE":18} as a template in Tasmota. Let me know if you have issues doing so.

xicoamaral · June 11, 2019, 4:08pm

Now it works…Thanks!

garvarma · June 11, 2019, 6:13pm

Hello people,

Sorry but i’m new about tasmota and i have some questions:

When you say “add first from a template”, what do you refer?

I have 2 blitzwolf bw-lt11 and would like to chage firmware because i don’t want use cloud.

In tasmota hardware website i can find this about this device:

what does it mean about template? where i need to put this?

thanks in advance

DenielTorres · June 13, 2019, 1:30pm

Hi @garvarma! When you open up the tasmo admin for the led strip you have to click on Configuration/Configure other and you’ll be greeted with the following image:

Where you can see the template copied in for me just do the same, click on Activate and save it. After this step, you’ll be able to select from the drop-down menu in the Configure module part.

Hope it makes sense

garvarma · October 29, 2019, 8:04pm

Thanks for reply Deniel.

Sorry for delay, but i was so busy, and couldn’t reply. Also i put my blitzwolf led strip in box and didn’t opened until today.

Well, i’m using HA to version 0.100.2, and now the led strip doesn’t works, it doesn’t recognized by HA. In logs i can’t see anything. This is my config:

- platform: mqtt
  name: "Tira Led_Hab4"
  command_topic: "cmnd/tled_hab4/POWER"
  state_topic: "stat/tled_hab4/RESULT"
  state_value_template: "{{value_json.POWER}}"
  availability_topic: "tele/tled_hab4/LWT"
  brightness_command_topic: "cmnd/tled_hab4/Dimmer"
  brightness_state_topic: "stat/tled_hab4/RESULT"
  brightness_scale: 100
  on_command_type: "brightness"
  brightness_value_template: "{{value_json.Dimmer}}"
  white_value_state_topic: "stat/tled_hab4/RESULT"
  white_value_command_topic: "cmnd/tled_hab4/white"
  white_value_scale: 100
  white_value_template: "{{ value_json.Channel[3] }}"
  rgb_command_topic: "cmnd/tled_hab4/Color2"
  rgb_state_topic: "stat/tled_hab4/RESULT"
  rgb_value_template: "{{value_json.Color.split(',')[0:3]|join(',')}}"
  effect_command_topic: "cmnd/tled_hab4/Scheme"
  effect_state_topic: "stat/tled_hab4/RESULT"
  effect_value_template: "{{value_json.Scheme}}"
  effect_list:
    - 0
    - 1
    - 2
    - 3
    - 4
  payload_on: "ON"
  payload_off: "OFF"
  qos: 1
  retain: false

How i can see more detailed logs about this device? Using directly the device (by tasmota website), works well, i can switch on and off, change color using console mode, etc.

thanks

I’m going to jump in your topic just to ask: does anybody know if BlitzWolf® BW-LT21 RGBWW can be configured/used with Home Assistant in some similar way?
