[Custom Component] Lights App - Bluetooth Outside Christmas Lights

Few days ago I bought new bluetooth Christmas lights for a pretty good price - 50m for about 40EUR along with some ESP32 bluetooth proxies. Unfortunately, they were not supported in Home Assistant.

Well, they are fully supported now!

Hey there! Fantastic work! I have the 30m variant for about 2 years now and I was wondering how to integrate it.

Quick question though…I searched for it in HACS and cannot find it. What should I be searching for specifically?

Thanks and…great work!!

Hi, you will need to add it manually. See readme instructions.

It works brilliantly - thank you!!!

How do you add the light string in to the addon?
I have the original app and there i have 2 lights that i want to integrate but they dont show in the integration.

Do you need a bluetooth connection on the HAOS is the phone bluetooth enough?

Yes bluetooth in HA is needed.

Thanks, excellent work !

Your lights work with no problem at all?

I have 10 120 LED 12m light strips.
Only 4/5 will connect but the connnection is not stable, just 3 will always be connected.
Is this a bleitooth issue and how can i fix this.
I am a HAS beginner, but willing to learn a lot and searched for a solution. Will some bluetooth proxys fix the issue?

Great work! Thanks a lot!

It also works great for the Action indoor light cord.

I happen to have constantly (every few minutes) time-outs with semi-instant recovery:

Lights App Light became unavailable

within a minute:

Lights App Light turned [off/on]

It clogs the log files and if I try to switch the light in off-mode, it (naturally) returns an error. Not an issue for me, but my family are “users”, they want it simply to work (reliably, at all times). :man_shrugging:
