Limitlessled V6 Bridge "led" control

Configuration
1

Hi guys who managed to control the V6 bridge light via HA? it should work as it have been implemented with 0.39 update If you can share if you did thanks

I did, everything is working except for the bridge led. I cannot control the led of the bridge itself.

light:
  - platform: limitlessled
    bridges:
    - host: 192.168.0.214
      bridge_led: True
      groups:
        - number: 1
          name: SmallBulb
          type: rgbw
        - number: 2
          name: BigBulb
          type: rgbw
        - number: 3
          name: SmallBulbBedroom
          type: rgbw

same as me so I’m not alone :slight_smile:
I saw on the limitlessled config files it should be defined this way:

  groups:
  - number: 1 
    name: Name
    type: bridge-led

but it doesn’t seems to work or I’m probably wrong

You are using a development version of the file I guess, there is no more explicit BRIDGE_LED group type in the latest version:

@touliloup How can I. I’m using the official release 0.39.1 I’ve never been through a dev version.

I found it here: home assistant/.homeassistant/deps/limitlessled/group/rgbw.py

Edit: I can perfectly control my bridges I just want to control the V6 bridge led.

light:
  platform: limitlessled
  bridges:
    - host: 192.168.1.70
      bridge_led: True
      version: 6
      port: 5987
      groups:
      - number: 2 # Group number
        name: Side
        type: rgbww
    - host: 192.168.1.32
      version: 5
      port: 8899
      groups:
      - number: 1 # Group number
        name: Stand
        type: rgbw

Yes V6 bridge led doesn’t seem to work with the actual hass conf. It’s a known issue, just didn’t have time to look into it.

The python library control the bridge just fine so it shouldn’t be too long before it’s fixed.

Cool :relaxed: would be nice to be used as a led notification ( color per type of notification) anyway thank you for your feedback

@touliloup
I’ve found the issue, I think… I’ve managed to get the bridge to work, by modifying the /limitlessled/group/rgbw.py.

I’m not sure whether the error was made here, but I was able to control the bridge by modifying line 27.
super().__init__(bridge, number, name, led_type) into
super().__init__(bridge, number, name, 'bridge-led')
Plus I needed to use a light group rgbw to address the bridge led in the configuration.yaml. Now I can’t use rgbw bulbs, but since I only have rgbww this isn’t a problem for me.

I suspect the error is in the setting of the led_type in line 19, but I’m not sure how this assignment was made.
def __init__(self, bridge, number, name, led_type=RGBW): It sets the led_type fixed to RGBW, which may be an error?

HASS doesn’t allow to set the bridge-led group in the configuration and in the limitlessled code I can’t find a query for the bridge-led=true setting from hass… where is this queried and set?

Here’s my fix that got it working

In components/light/limitlessled.py
Modify the LED_TYPE line

LED_TYPE = ['rgbw', 'rgbww', 'white', 'bridge-led']

In your configuration, define the bridge led as another group

light:
  platform: limitlessled
  bridges:
    - host: xxxx
      version: 6
      bridge_led: true
      groups:
      - number: 1
        name: milight_office
        type: rgbww
      - number: 1
        name: milight_bridge
        type: bridge-led

Let me know if that works for you.

That should work, it’s what I’ve used during development to use the bridge-led.

Concerning the current impl I noticed that this line:
bridge_conf.get(CONF_BRIDGE_LED)
always return None.

I tried that with this config:

light:
  - platform: limitlessled
    bridges:
    - host: 192.168.0.214
      bridge_led: true
      groups:
        - number: 1
          name: SmallBulb
          type: rgbw

I also tried with bridge_led: false without any success, it seems that the config is not parsed/read correctly.

Thank’s for sharing it worked for me

Want to confirm this works as well! So the code doesn’t use the bridge-led=true parameter. This is like the previous beta version where we could use bridge-led as a type. Working like a charm!

Cool. It has been merged into home-assistant, should see it in a release or two.

Code update is in 0.42. I’ll be upgrading to 0.42 shortly so I don’t have to copy the updates in anymore :slight_smile:

Be sure to remove the old bridge_led option from your config, as it’s been removed.

Just tried 0.42.1, working fine :slight_smile:

In the most recent version, it just simply need a group and type defined to : bridge-led
Here is my working config with an milight ibox1:

light:
  platform: limitlessled
  bridges:
    - host: [IP-OF-THE-BRIDGE]
      version: 6
      groups:
      - number: 0
        name: box
        type: bridge-led
      - number: 1
        type: rgbww
        name: work1
        fade: on
      - number: 2
        type: rgbww
        name: work2
        fade: on
      - number: 3
        type: rgbww
        name: work3
        fade: on
      - number: 4
        type: rgbww
