LE LampUX bulbs, white LED control

Hi all, I was wondering if you guys could help me out a bit.

I bought some of these bulbs the other day,
https://www.amazon.ca/Multicolor-Control-Changing-Dimmable-Required/dp/B082PG5JD2/ref=sr_1_5?crid=1Z2CHBNUTQXR8&dchild=1&keywords=le+lux+wifi+bulbs&qid=1610140697&sprefix=le+lux%2Caps%2C376&sr=8-5

I’ve been reading around and figured out to connect them to Tuya. I got that part working and I pulled them into HA. Next I found some posts about using “SUPPORTED_FEATURES”, so I played with that.
The issue is that I guess these are RGBW bulbs where the white is separate from the RGB. HA has no problem controlling RGB but I cannot switch the white LEDs back on in HA, only the Tuya app. I tried an automation sending “white_value”.

I’m about to give up TBH and figured I would ask here. Is there anything else I could do? It’s interesting, the Tuya app tells me the firmware is up to date at 3.3.31 so I guess this is actually a Tuya bulb?

Any help would be great, thank you

Hello,

I’d also be interested in an integration of the “Lepro LampUX” devices into Home Assistant.
I have around 20 LED strips of this type at several locations, it would be great if I didn’t have to deregister them from the existing configuration and re-register them with Tuya: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B08CTXFVK6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Is there maybe an existing solution yet? Thanks.

Update: For testing purposes, I now added one of the LED strips to a new Tuya account. Now I cannot add a second Tuya integration in Home Assistant, because I’m already using one for a “Smart Life” connection for another location. There is a limit of only one Tuya integration, apparently. What can I do?

Hello,

I’ve found out a solution that might be helpful for this.

Home Assistant doesn’t have a LE LampUX integration, but these smart lights can be added to the “Smart Life” app.

So I used the “Tuya” integration from Home Assistant and then used the user code from Smart Life, and it added all the lights/devices I have configured from the app.

Steps:

  • Add devices to “Smart Life”
  • Add “Tuya” integration to “Home Assistant”
  • User code from “Smart Life” can be found in (Me - Settings - Account and Security - User Code)
  • Write the code and then click “Submit”
  • Scan the QR Code with the Smart Life app (Me - Scanner Logo, next to Settings)
  • Select the devices you want to add, and that’s it!

I hope it solves some troubles, even after some years of the post haha.
