Controlling BLE ceiling light with HA

Configuration
8

I managed to hook my Marpou ceiling lamp (works with LampSmart Pro app) to an ESP32 via a custom component I developed. Lampify was a good start, but I ended up reversing the app and building the component from scratch based on that. The code is quite unfinished, but here it is, nonetheless: GitHub - aronsky/esphome-components: Custom components for ESPHome

Known issues:

  • Only tested with Marpou Ceiling CCT light (definitely doesn’t support RGB lights currently, but that could be added in the future).
  • All lights are controlled at the same time (does not support controlling different lamps individually - need help with ESPHome internals to figure this one out).

How to try it:

  1. Create an ESPHome configuration that references the repo (using external_components)
  2. Add a light entity to the configuration with the lampsmart_pro_light platform
  3. Build the configuration and flash it to an ESP32 device (since BLE is used, ESP8266-based devices are a no-go)
  4. Add the new ESPHome node to your Home Assistant instance
  5. Use the newly exposed service (esphome.<esphome-node-name>_pair) to pair with your light (call the service withing 5 seconds of powering it with a switch.
  6. Enjoy controlling your Marpou light with Home Assistant!
