MagicLight/Flux WiFi Color LED Light Component

mplawner · July 9, 2016, 5:14pm

(This is cross-posted from Development)

If someone (within free shipping range of my Amazon Prime account - likely US) feels confident they could create this component, I’ll send them one of these light bulbs to make it easier to test.

I have a number of these lights in the house. They are all the same, under different names, all ~ $28-$35:

They use the Magic Home app to control:

And someone reverse engineered the protocol and created a nice and easy to use python script to control via command line:

https://github.com/beville/flux_led

I’ve integrated them crudely into my system as command line switches:

- platform: command_line
  switches:
    lamppost:
      oncmd: "/usr/local/bin/flux_led.py 192.168.0.106 --on"
      offcmd: "/usr/local/bin/flux_led.py 192.168.0.106 --off"
      statecmd: "/usr/local/bin/flux_led.py 192.168.0.106 -i | awk '/ON/{ print \"on\" }'"
      value_template: '{{ value == "on" }}'

Would it be so difficult, given the availability of the python script already written, to create a more feature rich, native LED color light?

I do not have the lights, but I can try to implement it.
I will need help from you to test and verify the code.

Danielhiversen · July 13, 2016, 7:07am

Here is something to start with: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/2534

Try to put it in .homeassistant/custom_components/light

And add this to your configuration.yaml


light:
 platform: flux_led

For the moment only on/off is implemented.
Please post any error messages or problems.

Danielhiversen · July 13, 2016, 8:33am

@fabaff
I see now that you have forked the flux_led repository.
Have you tried to add it to HA?

fabaff · July 13, 2016, 8:53am

@Danielhiversen Just started to play around with it yesterday. So, no. I have two or three Wifi LED Controllers (white boxes) but no bulbs. I guess that I should try your custom component as soon as possible. Thanks for sharing.

mplawner · July 13, 2016, 1:40pm

Thanks, Daniel!

I loaded it up and here’s what I got in the logs:

  File "/home/pi/.homeassistant/deps/flux_led/__init__.py", line 779, in scan

Are you attempting to discover lights on the network? Or am I to configure IP addresses of existing bulbs?

mplawner · July 13, 2016, 2:09pm

Don’t know if this helps, but here is some more info about the bulbs which may or may not be relevant:
Looks like these bulbs have the HF-LPB100 chipset in common

Chinese LED Wifi Bulb Communication Protocol

Check your .homeassistant/deps folder and delete the two led_flux folders.
When you run Hass again it will download an updated version of the library. Please post the output in the log.

You can also try to download the new version of flux_led.py from dropbox and update your configuration file to:


light:
  platform: flux_led
  devices:
    192.168.0.106:
      name: lamppost

mplawner · July 13, 2016, 8:52pm

Hi Daniel

I wasn’t sure, if you wanted me to, so I’m doing this in 2 steps.

Step 1 - Delete the 2 flux_led directories, restart, post log/errors.
Step 2 - Delete the 2 flux_led directories, download the updated flux_led.py from dropbox and make the changes to the configuration.yaml file, post log.

Here’s the results of Step 1:

  File "/home/pi/.homeassistant/deps/flux_led/__init__.py", line 781, in scan
    item['ipaddr'] = data.split(',')[0]
TypeError: Type str doesn't support the buffer API

In a few moments, I will execute Step 2.

mplawner · July 13, 2016, 8:59pm

Results of Step 2 (note: I used the name lamppost1 in case there was a conflict with the existing lamppost device)

mplawner · July 13, 2016, 9:03pm

Just added one last step - removed the device stanza from the configuration.yaml and restarted:

Danielhiversen · July 14, 2016, 8:11am

Another try:

Step 1 - Delete the 2 flux_led directories, update flux_led.py from dropbox.
And add this to your configuration.yaml

light:
 platform: flux_led

restart, post log/errors.

Step 2 - Change the config to

light:
 platform: flux_led
  devices:
    192.168.0.106:
      name: lamppost1

restart, post log/errors.

Are you copying the log from the log file or from the console?
The are missing some out print from the flux library. So it would great if you could post the output from the console. But that depends of how you are running hass

mplawner · July 14, 2016, 1:51pm

Ok, yes, I was pulling info from the log. Sorry about that. Now I’m pulling from the console. (I’ve been running it as a service.)

BTW - These lights are down at ~$28 today on Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SIDVZSW
They do claim to work in US and Europe, fitting both sizes E26 and E27 standards and covering the range of voltage from 85v to 220v.

Danielhiversen · July 14, 2016, 8:09pm

Ok, I will have a look at it tomorrow.
Unfortunately, they are not shipping to Norway. Have not found anyone that ships to Norway

mplawner · July 14, 2016, 8:28pm

These folks ship internationally:

But don’t order, Daniel… yours is in the mail

Danielhiversen · July 15, 2016, 8:01am

I think we are getting close to have something.
It would be great if you could do step 1 and 2 again.

This is awesome, Daniel! Thanks!

I got one of these bulbs on Amazon Prime day as well and I’ll test the custom component as well.

I changed the format of the configuration a bit:

       name: test2

Then it should be possible to manually add devices or automatically add them.
Do you like the way of configuration it?

Hmm, should work, but might be a delay before HA is updated. The bulb is not pushing any information back to HA, so the status will not update before HA ask for an updated status.

@tchellomello
Great, please post any bugs or suggestions for improvements.
At the moment only on/off is supported

tchellomello · July 16, 2016, 6:32am

Hello guys,

@Danielhiversen the flux_led.py worked as expected and I got was able to turn on/off the Flux Wifi light.
It would be awesome to change brightness, color and use all the features but I’m pretty sure it is on the roadmap.

However I did have an unexpected problem with my hue lights. First, I was using the discovery: component to manage my Hue lights however after enabling the “lights” component it stopped working.

I think the discovery was still working because my Wemo switches continued working as expected, but only the Hue stopped. To troubleshoot it, I enabled it via configuration file as follow:

(home_assistant) ↪ cat lights.yaml 
# vim:sw=2:ts=2:et:
- platform: hue
  host: 192.168.169.18
  allow_unreachable: true
  #filename: hue_token.conf

#https://community.home-assistant.io/t/magiclight-flux-wifi-color-led-light-component/2271/6
- platform: flux_led
  devices:
    flux-garage-bulb.tatu.home:
      name: garage

As we know, when the filename is not present, it will save the phue.conf file with the token. Using the filename or just leaving the default phue.conf ends-up with the same error:

Looking at the flux_led.py library, it seems it is returning the ID as expected, however the method unique_id() needs to be fixed

Then, I modified the method as showed below:

After doing it, Hue and flue_led worked as expected.

I have not found the git location for the HA backport for flux_led.py but you can update the dropbox link for future users.

Let’s add more functionalities to this library since those bulbs are cheaper and work quite fine too (not the same quality, but it’s cheap solution).

Thank you for porting it to HASS.
