LimitlessLED broken in V64.x

Configuration
1

I just updated to from 63.3 to 64.3 and noticed that my limitless LED lights are not responding any more on the commands in homeassistant. There are no errors messages in homeassistant. With the new version only the bridge light was responding.

I tested my gateway with the LimitlessledV6.exe windows and on the hardware side everything seems to be ok!

Restoring the limitlessled component to the version that was supplied in V63.3 solved it for me for now.

I use the following config (worked until 63.3):

light 1:
  - platform: limitlessled
    bridges:
    - host: 192.168.39.149
      groups:
      - number: 0
        type: white
        name: All Zones
      - number: 1
        type: white
        name: Spot 1
      - number: 2
        type: white
        name: Spot 2
      - number: 3
        type: white
        name: Spot 3
      - number: 4
        type: white
        name: Spot 4
    - host: 192.168.39.149
      groups:
      - number: 1
        type: bridge-led
        name: Bridge Light

Working fine here on 0.64.3. Any errors in your log?

Try adding version and port:

light:
  - platform: limitlessled
    bridges:
    - host: !secret limitlessled_host
      version: 4
      port: 8899
      groups: 
      - number: 1 
        name: Living Room
      - number: 2
        name: Diner Table
      - number: 3
        name: Hall way

As i mentioned in my post no errors!

Did some further investigation regarding this issue:

I changed the light from type white to rgbww and now lights are responding again on my commands with the new version.

I have white lights with warm and cold white. In the old version this worked well!
When setting the type to rgbww i now have an unwanted colorselector.
In the old version with type:white i had only a colortemp selector (WW and CW) and brightness.

Dear same problem here:
rgbww work but after update to 0.65.4 white type not work.
No way to make it work and no error in log.
Maybe someone can help us? I don’t want the color indicator for white light too.

Unfortunately, it seems like no current developer actually has a white light so it might take some time to get fixed.

A small observation which could help:

I’m using an old (v4) and and a new (v6) bridge, both with only white lights.

A clean current hass (0.65.6) version:

  • Switches the lights connected to new (v6) bridge on and off.
  • I can however not change the color on lights connected to new (v6) bridge.
  • It works correctly on the lights connected to the old (v4) bridge: It switches and changes the color.

When I put the the 63.3 version of limitlessled into hass 0.65.6, than:

  • Lights connected to the new (v6) bridge do not work at all, no switching (or changing color).
  • Lights connected to the old bridge (v4) work correctly, only the color is wrong way around (inverted).

My 2 cents of observations …

any news about this issue? or a quick manual fix? setting back to the old custom component helped me in v64 but since v66 it’s also broken :frowning:

Had the same issue. I have dual White lights, so i changed the config tot RGBWW instead of WHITE and are able the use the new component. The old component can’t be used any more because some internal modules are changed also.
