Controlling BLE ceiling light with HA

NicoIIT · January 9, 2025, 7:35pm

I was not able to find the App ‘ZhiMeiDengKong’ in the Play store, may I ask you to provide a link to this app such as this one?

It would also help if you could capture the messages when some buttons are pressed in the app (or the remote), as detailed here for the dev branch.

Thanks in advance

NicoIIT · January 9, 2025, 9:59pm

@Yacko, I corrected this while pulling all my changes and recent fixes from my dev branch to main branch, it should work OK now.

I have the same light with ZhiMeiDengKong app.
Here the link to ZhiMeiDengKong app
I am trying to use zhijia coding, but still not luck…
Any ideas?

Try with encoding: zhiguang
Ref doc

You can also listen the traffic generated by your phone app to shadow the config and avoid pairing.

Di1Ly · January 10, 2025, 11:01am

Have issues with the compiling firmware from your fork. So I cant try encoding: zhiguang
But I have captured the packages from APP compiled from repo and can success send it by inject service.

Looks like raw …10.11.12.13.14.15 (31) is unknow coder ?

NicoIIT · January 10, 2025, 11:26am

Indeed, It does not correspond to any of our supported apps (even zhiguang btw).
You can open a request to have it supported, but that’s a lot of work for a fully unknown app, with no guarantee of success. Moreover the fact it is not available on the Play Store is not a very good point… I would rather not install it on my phone…

EDIT: opened request here

HVPereira · January 10, 2025, 12:07pm

That’s exactly the one, I’ve managed to turn it off and on by sending raw data… but changing the brightness and so on is really hard.

I’ve managed to rtrieve the following information, maybe it could help to “build something”:

turn off

RAW data are coded by special algorithm by china application. APP need to be reverse engineered to understand the encoder algorithm… Should wait if someone interested to do that…

HVPereira · January 10, 2025, 4:31pm

I see… thought it might be of help

spherebread · January 13, 2025, 4:48pm

Hi @NicoIIT,

You were right! It’s zhijia / v2, I was able to parse commands from Zhi Guang app! Interesting, but remote commands were not parsed…

In any case, it works — I paired each lantern to the app (as separate groups) and created controllers for them:

ble_adv_controller:
  - id: lights_3d
    encoding: zhijia
    variant: v2
    forced_id: 0xE59BCE
    index: 1
  - id: lights_kitchen
    encoding: zhijia
    variant: v2
    forced_id: 0xE59BCE
    index: 3
  - id: lights_tv
    encoding: zhijia
    variant: v2
    forced_id: 0xE59BCE
    index: 2

light:
  - platform: ble_adv_controller
    ble_adv_controller_id: lights_3d
    name: 3D Printer Light
  - platform: ble_adv_controller
    ble_adv_controller_id: lights_kitchen
    name: Kitchen
  - platform: ble_adv_controller
    ble_adv_controller_id: lights_tv
    name: Main

@spherebread: great!

You were right! It’s zhijia / v2, I was able to parse commands from Zhi Guang app! Interesting, but remote commands were not parsed…

Well provide me one of those raw commands, probably a new variant to be added for this type of remote.

spherebread · January 13, 2025, 6:18pm

Here you go:
02.01.1A.14.FF.F0.FF.CF.58.EC.CF.CD.CF.30.EF.CE.6D.CC.CD.67.C8.EC.2F.C9 (24)

NicoIIT · January 14, 2025, 6:32am

Well I think I decoded it, it was a Pairing command .
May you provide a few more commands in this issue so that I can confirm and implement a decoder ? Thanks!

NicoIIT · January 14, 2025, 7:28am

@ All, new version pushed to main branch:

Support for physical remote sync with HA: the ble_adv_remote component allows you to listen to your physical remote (or phone) commands and publish them to HA (promoted from dev branch)
Support for native config listening and Shadow: No more pairing needed! (promoted from dev branch)
Support for RGB light type (beta), using type: rgb at light level
Support for ZhiMeiDengKong App (beta), encoding: zhimei
Possibility to increase the bluetooth range with option use_max_tx_power
More Actions and Automation Triggers available

Please note that:

The native buttons are deprecated (including pair button), they can be replaced by standard template button with corresponding action
The native scanner it includes to listen to config and remote commands makes it incompatible with the ESP32 BLE Tracker or the components that would include it, such as Bluetooth Proxy.
3 components are now used: ble_adv_handler, ble_adv_remote, ble_adv_controller

Do not hesitate to open issues in case you are facing problems.

Enjoy

ObiYawn · January 23, 2025, 2:36pm

I came here in search of a solution to integrate my new fan that works with the FanLampPro app. I just ordered one of the recommended ESP-32 boards off AliExpress and will report back in a couple of weeks
Can’t wait to try @NicoIIT’s integration

NicoIIT · January 25, 2025, 6:55pm

New version pushed to main, probably one of my last refactoring as the software looks quite clean now!

Features:

Adding support for Smart Light App, encoding: agarce
Change log and Developer’s Guide added
Bug fixes on RGB lights and Fan Speed speed_count handling
Many features for Developers or experienced users to be able to add new codecs or translators by configuration (see wiki)

As always it comes with a bit of migrations that you can find in the change log.
Hope I have not break everything

ObiYawn · January 28, 2025, 12:42am

Splendid – works great with my “FanLampPro” fan Thank you @NicoIIT !
