No errors have been reported.

enricfp1 · October 10, 2016, 6:47pm

I have no idea then. It all seems ok?

Try removing the optional fields like version and port? See if that makes a difference?

proj_mmhi · October 10, 2016, 7:05pm

I’ve already tried… i think its not an error in the code. Maybe the all-in-one installer works not correctly on my banana pi M3.
I am waiting now for the rasperry which i have already ordered… ;/

Just an FYI, I’m using the AIO on an rPi3.

If it was just failing, I’d expect that you’d see an error. Just checking the basics - if you load http://192.168.1.24/ in your browser (default user & pass = “admin”), do you see the bridge’s firmware update page?

From your Pi, can you ping the bridge (you may need to sudo ping).

proj_mmhi · October 11, 2016, 11:14am

Login to milight bridge over browser an ping from Pi also works…

Do the lights show up as

light.rom1
light.rom3

under states in the developer tools menu on the left or do they just not show up in the main view with a slider to turn them on/off?

I have mine light: !include light.yaml rather than lightS.yaml

I have a version 4 bridge and my file is

- platform: limitlessled
  bridges:
  - host: 192.168.1.90
    version: 4
    port: 8899
    groups:
    - number: 1
      type: rgbw
      name: Kitchen
    - number: 2

The only other thing I can think of - is the address or your HASS server 192.168.0.X or is it in a different IP range to the bridge because of a WiFi access point or something?

proj_mmhi · October 11, 2016, 7:25pm

Hey Guys. Its run! I reinstalled raspian and HA 0.30.1.
Unfortunately no idea what was wrong…

Many thanks all for the support!

Glad you got it working!

Hi there,

I’m new to Home Assistant, just installed in om my RP3 and I can’t get all my lights to show up in HA.
At the moment I have 5 lamps (4 x rgbw + 1 x white). The 4 rgbw lamps show up and work great using the following syntax in configuration.yaml:

light:
  platform: limitlessled
  bridges:
    - host: 10.0.0.144
      groups: 
      - number: 1 
        name: Living Room
      - number: 2
        name: Diner Table
      - number: 3
        name: Hall way
      - number: 4
        name: PC

I don’t know how to setup the white lamp though.
If I just add another number 1 lamp than I get the following error:

Line 73:

host: 10.0.0.144
Line 84 is my second “numer: 1” line.

Can someone please help me out?

P.S: I’m using the same bridge to communicate with all 5 lamps and that’s working fine (with the app and also by sending UDP commands through Tasker)

BarryHampants · January 2, 2017, 11:23pm

You just need to specify light type rgbw or white - see below

  platform: limitlessled
  bridges:
    - host: 10.0.0.144
      groups: 
      - number: 1 
        type: rgbw
        name: Living Room
      - number: 2
        name: Dinner Table
        type: rgbw
      - number: 4
        type: rgbw
        name: PC
      - number: 1
        type: white
        name: Foyer

Bob_NL · January 3, 2017, 5:16pm

Thanks for your reply!

Unfortunately that doesn’t work, probably because 1 group can only contain 4 lamps. When I add a fifth lamp, I get the following error:

Code:

light:
  platform: limitlessled
  bridges:
    - host: 10.0.0.144

        name: Diner Table
      - number: 3
        name: Hall way
      - number: 4
        name: PC
      - number: 5
        type: white
        name: Bed Room

Solved!

I guess it was a little easier than I thought it would be

Hey there

I would love, if someone could explain me, how I can run HA on a Banana Pi. I tried it with the manual installation and Hassbian and so on, but it won’t work for me

aneisch · February 24, 2017, 9:08pm

Hi, happy to help! Go ahead and make a post in https://community.home-assistant.io/c/installation

dolfinking · March 25, 2017, 7:30am

I use exactly the same setting with RGBW bulb in Living room and white in Bed Room, both number 1…however when turning on either only the RGBW bulb in living room turns on. I can turn them on/off, controll features separately on iOS Milight app and 2.4Ghz remote. See my config snipped below. Help appreciated fellas

BarryHampants · March 25, 2017, 9:19am

Perhaps you may need to specify bridge version (and port) with the introduction of V6 bridge into the component?

That setup was a suggestion for how to fix Bob_NLs problem, I have a V4 bridge so my config is actually…

- platform: limitlessled
  bridges:
  - host: 192.168.1.90
    version: 4
    port: 8899
    groups:
    - number: 1
      type: rgbw
      name: Kitchen

Bob_NL · March 25, 2017, 10:36am

@dolfinking same here, configuration changed:

light:
  platform: limitlessled
  bridges:
    - host: 10.0.0.144
      version: 4
      port: 8899
      groups:

      - number: 4

      - number: 1
        type: white
        name: Bed Room

dolfinking · March 25, 2017, 1:33pm

@Bob_NL & @BarryHampants thankyou guys for your quick response
I have the v6 and I guess the port is 5987. I have tired combinations of version: 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 with Port: ‘8899, 5987’ only the 6 with 5987 triggered the RGBW light (at least), but all failed to triggered my white lights. I have since read another discussion that has an unresolved white light control issue for v6 bridge

Hi!

I had the same issue. But now it’s solved.

This is the version of my Milight:

Software version: V1.0.04a-JCY-1
Wifi Workmode: STA
Port ID: 8899 (maybe you have another port. To check it> go to the Ip adress of Milight>Other Setting>Port ID)

At the end I’ve solved it with this code:

light:
- platform: limitlessled
  bridges:
  - host: 192.168.1.133
    version: 3
    port: 8899
    groups:
    - number: 1
      type: rgbw
      name: TEST_01
    - number: 2
      type: rgbw
      name: TEST_02
    - number: 3
      type: rgbw
      name: TEST_03
    - number: 4
      type: rgbw
      name: TEST_04

I hope it can be usefull for someone.

Strange, for me it works for ages without any version and port specification. Just this simple, and it goes like a train:
