Custom Component: UniLED, support for BanlanX, LED Hue & LED Chord type controllers

Hello, I have the SP548E and would love to see support added for this as well

Hi,

While searching for a way to get more out of my LED strip with the SP611E, I came across this project.

I have the following issues with the current release version:
1. Installation via Hacs doesn’t work because the repository is not recognized and therefore cannot be added.
2. After manual installation, I always get the message “no devices found on the network.”

Current situation: HA on RPI4 in the basement. Shelly Mini with active Bluetooth proxy right next to the SP611E controller.

Can anyone confirm these issues or does anyone have a solution for them?

Thank you in advance.

I would also love to see added support for the SP530E!

I’ll be honest I bought a mini PC to run home assistant just for integration… whoops haha. Searching for a way to automate my SP530E led me here, but I guess I didn’t take a close look at the supported controllers.

Scratch that! I was skimming the github repo and saw that SP530E has already been added in the beta :+1:

Some notes for people who may be completely new to home assistant like I am:

  • Make sure you download the beta version through HACS (3.0.10 beta 11 is the latest, as of writing this). By default HACS downloaded 2.2.6, which doesn’t have support for SP530E
  • It only works with wifi. Since I’ve only been using bluetooth via banlanX, I had to first go into the app and set up wifi for the controller. If you’re connected to wifi, the blue LED on the controller should turn green.
  • Once Uniled was installed, I had to go into:

Settings > Devices and Services > Devices > Add Device

HA was able to see and connect to my device just fine. If something goes wrong for you, there are some troubleshooting steps you can try here:

Thank you so much to monty68 for making this possible, and all the hard work from the contributors!!

thanks for the contribution.

I have a 530e, and works fine, one thing I miss is that I can´t choose the led color, is that a bug?
