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?

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, column 5
expected , but found ‘’ in “/home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/configuration.yaml”, line 84, column 6

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)

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

  platform: limitlessled
  bridges:
    - host: 10.0.0.144
      groups: 
      - number: 1

      - number: 2
        name: Dinner Table
        type: rgbw
      - number: 4
        type: rgbw
        name: PC
      - number: 1
        type: white
        name: Foyer

[Bob_NL (Bob Visser)]

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:

      - number: 5

Solved!

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

light:

      groups: 
      - number: 1

      - number: 1

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

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

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 (Barry H Pantsworth)]

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

@dolfinking same here, configuration changed:

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

[dolfinking]

@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:

I’ve been also troubleshooting this now for days without success. Here’s what I know:

Milight boxer app works, I have one rgbww light connected to zone 1.

My configuration:

light:
  - platform: limitlessled
    bridges:
      - host: 192.168.1.66
        groups:
        - number: 1
          type: rgbww
          name: bedroom

I have tried setting the port manually (tried both 5987 and 8899).

I have tried setting the version to 4, 5 and 6. Does someone know what versio this is?

In Home Assistant, the light does show up but controls don’t work. How can I see the logs of limitlessled?

[ilo]

Never got limitlessled working, but luckily after finding these instructions MQTT finally works! Also, playing with milight-hub radio settings improved the transmission between the hub and the lights. (Before I had to repeat the messages.)

Does anyone know how to troubleshoot the communication between limitlessled and the hub? Could I netcat to the hub and send REST commands via UDP?

[Comteccie]

You have bedroom, but it should be “bedroom” i think

Hi, I’m struggling with limitlessled (the 2.4Ghz gateway) and bumped into your post.
What is this screenshot from?
