Color Beam DMX Gateway Integration (unofficial)

Hello everyone :wave:,

I would like to share a custom integration for the Color Beam DMX lighting Gateway built using their internal API by using Control4 debug logs. Please note that is integration only works for their V2 version of the gateway. The repository can be found below.

For more information about setting up the gateway visit: ColorBeam Lighting



installation

  • To install, simply copy the ColorBeam Folder into your CUSTOM_COMPONENTS folder and restart Home Assistant.

  • Then go to Devices & integration and select Color Beam integration

Available configuration parameters

  • host (required) : enter the IP address of the DMX gateway
  • port (required) : the port which is used to communicate with the API (usually 3334)

Know issues:

  • Since the API is not public was not able to obtain unique id, users are limited to only integrate one gateway.
  • Not implemented a Transition time. But as default 750ms is implemented as per Control4.
  • The project is not tested on Large Scaled project. Please restart the gateway if anything feels stuck.

Since this is my first integration I would appreciate if provide comments on the code and I will try improving the code.
