Can't change LED color on MagicHome LED controller

apt · January 5, 2018, 3:12pm

Sounds great, could really do with effects however, let’s hope the original components gets updated for v4.

Since version 0.59.2, I’m unable to change colour on my MagicHome LED v3. Anyone experiencing this? I’m now on HA 0.60.0 and same thing

apt · January 16, 2018, 12:51pm

The effects drop down seems to be back in 0.61.0 BUT there is no items to choose from. Looking at the changes I can’t determine what’s changed to add this back in.

Schneider · January 17, 2018, 12:47am

Hello! Is your v4 working correctly with 0.61? No update erros on log? Thanks!

apt · January 17, 2018, 6:42pm

No errors in logs all working, just won’t show any effects.

Schneider · January 17, 2018, 7:09pm

Wow! This is great!

I’ve just updated to 0.61.1 and still showing errors on log:

Most of times that I turn on or off it does not respond… Very odd!

No update was made on the component. Do you have any ideas what can I do about it?

Thanks a lot!!

apt · January 17, 2018, 7:22pm

Not sure if you are using the same adapter as me but this is my config.

Light:
    platform: flux_led
    devices:
      192.168.1.27:
        name: LED
        mode: "rgb"

Schneider · January 17, 2018, 8:04pm

Here is my config (I’ve commented the protocol after testing with “lednet”)

  - platform: flux_led
    devices:
      192.168.2.120:
        name: ledsalatv
        mode: rgb
#        protocol: 'ledenet'
      192.168.2.121:
        name: ledsaladesktop
        mode: rgb
#        protocol: 'ledenet'

No idea what is going on here…

Thanks again my friend!

apt · January 17, 2018, 8:06pm

It’s a small thing but have you tried rgb as "rgb" ?

Schneider · January 17, 2018, 8:07pm

Sounds good! Will try and get back to you. Thanks!

apt · January 17, 2018, 8:13pm

Follow up to the effects not working, I’m getting the following error when I try to initiate an effect in the developer tools in 0.61.1 :

Invalid service data for light.turn_on: extra keys not allowed @ data['effects']. Got 'colorloop'
20:11 core.py (ERROR)

Any ideas?

apt · January 31, 2018, 10:03pm

OK since 0.62.x the effects menu is now visible and contains various items to select… BUT non of them work

apt · January 31, 2018, 10:06pm

Did that help btw?

Schneider · January 31, 2018, 10:44pm

Hello @apt!

So sorry I have not contacted you since…

All my problems are solved! Magic lights are working properly now for me. The effects drop down menu works just fine here!

If I choose the effect it works just like the original app…

Thanks!

apt · January 31, 2018, 11:04pm

That’s great news. Did it just start working for you after the recent 0.62.x update?

Schneider · February 1, 2018, 11:00am

The connection/response issue got solved (I think) by changing some network settings on my router. The effects appeared after 0.62 update.

apt · February 1, 2018, 10:42pm

I think I have it working with a combination of mine and your config. What was confusing me was I was testing using one of the strobe effects which turned the light on briefly and then off again. For some reason the strobe has a 5 second delay before turning back on again. Is that the same for your config? I would have expected strobe effect to flash more.

Schneider · February 2, 2018, 12:43am

Oh yes, this happens for me too. It is like the speed is set to very slow. I can make it go a lot faster using the magic app but HA has no options for speed. I mainly use the colorloop for my TV back-light, I like it slow.

eHouse · February 17, 2018, 3:47pm

I may be a bit off topic so my apologizes in advance, but I am trying to use a MagicHome controller and I am noticing that some ‘Light’ commands do not work, such as ‘White value’, and ‘Kelvin’. I am wondering if this component does not support these commands or if there is another issue. I am running 63.2 HASS.io. And I have a RGBW strip attached to the controller. I set the mode to RGBW just in case, but I believe this is the default.

Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.

Hello Guys, same issue here with the V4 version of the LED Bar. If I remove the from the config the protocol Lednet the lights kinda work, The color never match what I see on the screen, and when the lights turn on at maximum brightness the whole system collapse and I need to manually restart the led bar. If I leave the lender protocol the lights can just turn on and off from HA without any problem, but no changing color or brightness allowed. There isn’t anything in the log that can make me think of something, cause every time that the bar collapse it just say that the host is unreachable, but thats all.

Here is my config:

light:

platform: flux_led
devices:
192.168.1.90:
name: TV_Lights
protocol: ‘ledenet’
mode: “rgb”

If I put or remove the RGB Mode nothing really change.

Any suggestion or clue on how to solve it?

Thanks
