Limitlessled Miboxer WL-Box1

Hi.

Thank you. I did it too. I got Tuya working.

I have a gateway MiBoxer WL-Box1 and a led controller FUT043 (RGB). I made a test like this:

First, I added the gateway WL-Box1 to the MiBoxer app. Then I linked the FUT043 led controller to the virtual remote control FUT089 (zone 1) in the MiBoxer app. It all works.

Then I put gateway MiBoxer WL-Box1 in pairing mode (red light flashes).
Go to Tuya app and add lighting (Light Stripes).

Adding MiBoxer WL-Box1 in Tuya Smart App

Start procedure and it will find a 2.4G gateway.

Now gateway MiBoxer WL-Box1adding to the Tuya Smart app.

Now I can switch and change the color of one zone. But I can not switch Scenes???

Control MiBoxer WL-Box1 gateway in Tuya Smart App

I have Tuya local integration availeble in HA (from this: Tuya LOCAL with energy monitoring and without tuya-convert and localtuya: GitHub - rospogrigio/localtuya: local handling for Tuya devices), and I can switch and change the mode, brightness, color of one zone. But I can not switch Scenes.

Do Scenes work for you?

Can you control multiple zones? or just the one zone?

Now just the one zone.

I don’t have now more than 1 led controller FUT043 (RGB), to connect to the MiBoxer WL-Box1 gateway and to try to control multiple zones.

Hi Peter,

Did you ever get the WL-BOX1 to work in HA?

Walter

Hi Walter,
No I didn’t, so it has limited me to using those lights in a single room, where local control is sufficient. If I have time, I will try and work out the protocol by sniffing on the network traffic, but I’m still hoping someone smarter than me will figure it out.

This is my code in configuration.yaml and it works fine with three iBox2 controllers, which are paired with the MiLight app. That’s the older model, but i assume, not much different, because they all work with the same remote’s.

I hope this helps someone…

Does anyone know how to recall the color white ?
I have set scenes for any colour but cant recall white

found this in my scenes.yaml:

  name: Lamp Keuken Werkblad Werkstand
  entities:
    light.keuken_werkblad:
      min_mireds: 154
      max_mireds: 370
      effect_list:
      - colorloop
      - night
      - white
      brightness: 255
      color_temp: 313
      friendly_name: Keuken werkblad
      assumed_state: true
      supported_features: 63
      state: 'on'

That gives me strong, white light.

Anybody have trouble pairing their wall panel to the remote/app? I have my WL-Box1 gateway set up just fine, but I have the P3 wall panel. The manual says it should be pairable to any remote really. But I can’t get the panel to enter pairing mode no matter what I do. Anyone else have this issue?

Hi. For those who still have difficulties with the Miboxer Box 1.
I went for DIY device, which works perfect for me with all mi light devices:

This is a great solution, @Koen22!
I ordered an NRF24L01+ for €3, connected it to a D1 mini that I had still on stock, uploaded the precompiled firmware to it and … done! Works like a charm. Thanks!

@Koen22 Thanks a lot for the link!

Has anybody managed to get Multiple Zones working with Google Voice Assistant & Home Assistant?

Maybe the ‘sidoh/esp8266_milight_hub’ can be ‘partitioned’ so that it appears as multiple WL-Box 1 controllers?

@aleksey_z Thanks for the TUYA info! I use the Smart Life App so maybe that is an option also although it may not be on HA?

It’s a shame that scenes do not seem to work. :slightly_frowning_face:
Have you tried creating a ‘Tap-To-Run’ instead of creating a automation ‘scene’?

(I have a few of the older MiLight Bulbs/Controllers but don’t want to buy more until I have a solid plan as I want them to work perfectly with Voice Assistant & HA. Maybe I will just have to start over & go down the Zigbee route or similar? :confused: )

(Also my Home Assistant isnt working atm so sorry for all of the blind questions & suggestions!)

Thanks! :innocent:
DAN.

I have the T4 wall panel so once I get a WL-Box1 or ESP8266 I will let you know how I get on!

Has anybody used a Wall Panel with sidoh/esp8266_milight_hub or via Tuya? :thinking:

I have 6 RGBWW Mi-Lights that work through the app from one wifi box. How do I control the color in Home Assistant? Can’t figure that part out!

This is what I have configured, but not sure any of this is correct:

          name: Outdoor 5
        - number: 6
          type: white
          name: Step 1

As far, a I know, I will carefully state, that something is wrong. The info I can remember from the time, I did my config, stated, that you can’t have 5 groups of rgbww lights on one controller. Max is 4. Same, like the phone app.

If that really is a problem, then your config will not work because of this.

I’m using scenes to change colors on my lights. And also this: GitHub - bokub/rgb-light-card: 💡 A Lovelace custom card for RGB lights

Works fine.

There is a thread about the configs here: Limitlessled - #25 by retrup

Great! works perfectly for me also

Thanks !!
