Flux_LED Dead?

Configuration
1

Hey all,

Just spent the last 6 hours flashing one Magic Home (first time lol) when someone told me about Flux_LED. But I cant find it in the integrations, even though the website references it.

“The flux_led integration is configured through the Configuration -> Integrations page”

Or am I just missing something?

Thanks

Others have mentioned the same thing, but nobody has opened an issue. It’s quite likely there’s a bug, and that the devs don’t know about it.

How do you actually install it though? Its not here: Configuration -> Integrations page

Thanks!

the documentation is wrong…

You need to manually enter it into the configuration.yaml

eg:

light:
  - platform: flux_led
    devices:
      192.168.0.xxx:
        name: lightname
        protocol: 'ledenet'
        mode: "rgbw"

I’ve been looking into this myself today as well and although it is way beyond my capabillities to write any actual code, I feel there is a decent amount of people with these controllers so a decent integration might be nice…
If only someone with the knowledge had some time…

EDIT: I know some are flashable but the last one I got was not flashable and the others are inside built into the walls so no accessing them without tearing the wallpaper up (not happening)
And they’re all working just fine with the app so I’m thinking it shouldn’t really be too hard for someone who has the skills to make it work in HA.

Thanks for that!

So added that and it does turn on and off. But that’s it.

Is that the issue with it?

Yes,

It seems the integration has no current maintaining developer(s) so it’s not working as good as it could.

I would literally pay for someone to fix this integration … seems not that hard, but then again, I cant code so who am I …

Also, there’s a few node red addons for magic home as well with which I’ve had a little more success but it also doesn’t work 100%…

Yeah, ive been digging around it all seems a bit too much. Strangely its been easier to flash them with Tasamota LOL

it seems that with everyone able to flash their controllers the need for a decent integration is pushed to the background.

Sadly I don’t have that option.

Have you looked at this ? https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/32599

I would love to be able to use this integration as well. I was really sad to see it not available. I will have to look into flashing these if that is an option still.

The newer devices (assuming they aren’t the addressable type) should work in 2021.11 going forward.
