does anyone know if there is support for this or the easiest way to connect it?
It goes by magic connect and hao deng (both apps are the same).
It looks like flux led but that won’t work since each device is bluetooth, with one wifi hub. It also is similar to limitlessled in that there are groups in the hub, but presumably uses flux under the hood. Any advice on how to go about if I need to create anything custom? I’m new to home assistant but am good with python. Thanks everyone and I’m looking forward to getting into the community!
Hi I also have a load (30 ish) of these bulbs. To be honest they work great, pretty good metal housing, run cool and where cheap.
Problem is they only work via the app and that makes it hard for my wife to deal with them. Alexa integration is buggy enough to be not practical. Getting them into Home Assistant would be a huge win for my setup.
They are bluetooth mesh devices so they are encrypted. They show up in BLE tools but I can not get them to provision in the mesh tools I’ve tried. Maybe there is a manufacturer code.
Did you find anything useful? I am getting to the stage where I may try and hack the controller and get a nodemcu board to pretend to be pressing the buttons. There is a touch sensor chip that talks to the microcontroller I think over I2C.
Another approach might be to use the boards from the hand held remotes (one for each group).
Mine look to be Zengge bulbs using telink mesh software. like you said, it is encrypted. Luckily, it can be controlled. Unfortunately, every manufacturer has their own name/password for the encryption. I will need to try to get that next. Here are links for code that should work once we get that.
I was able to crack the name/pw code for the encryption by debugging the app. Unfortunately they are using nonstandard op codes so I just started trying to figure those out. I can send you what I have. It works with the dimond library I posted above. @cszrw
I have a couple of these devices and they’re indeed good quality and work fine. Would be awesome to be able to control them from HA instead of some third party cloud service. Any news on your progress?
Thank you.
I am interested into any solution for an integration of these BT recessed lights with HA. If anyone comes up with something, tag me please. And if anyone reads this post, I would pay more than a beer for that integration.
Welcome to the forum @amhed, Hao Deng bridge make the connection between my encrypted bluetooth RGB recessed lights. Because communication is encrypted, I cannot bypass the bridge, and I haven’t found anyone who managed to integrate Hao Deng app into Home Assistant.
The other way around was to create a boolean from within HA, make it accessible inside Google Home, and link that boolean inside Google Home with a Google Home Scene where if that boolean is triggered, it will open my Hao Deng recessed lights.
