LimitlessLED and colorloop

Hi

I thought it could be a nice addon to my lightning by adding a nice colorloop scene. However I quickly notices that this will not give me a nice transition between colors on the LimitlessLED platform, instead it jumps in small steps but quite noticeable and not really smooth compared to the built in disco color loop function in the MiLight app.

Does anyone know if I can trigger that function using HA instead of the MiLight app? It would really be much nicer with smooth color transitions in “disco mode”.

Best regards
Peter

Second this! MiLights have a 9 of built-in modes, each with 8 different rates. I’d love to be able to access those - they’re handy for notifications and take the load of the controller.

Anyone of the module owners willing to factor this in?

The problem is, you have to cycle through the modes, and there is no way to determine which mode you’re currently on programatically.

first, you need a diy controller-hub with https://github.com/sidoh/esp8266_milight_hub

second, use ‘command_line switch’ and the ‘input_select’ to select the colorloop directly in HA.

for example:
curl --data-binary '{"status":"on","mode":6,"level":90}' -X PUT http://192.168.1.12/gateways/0x1111/rgb_cct/1

192.168.1.12 is your diy-milight-hub’s ip address, 0x1111 is the group_name that you set in the diy_hub’s webpage.‘mode’ is the built-in color_loop mode, the number should be 1~9.
