I tried with type “rgbw”, “rgbww”, “white”, no effect. I even tried with version: 5 & port: 8899, nothings changes. The weird thing is I don’t event get any log outputs other than
INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.loader] Loaded light.limitlessled from homeassistant.components.light.limitlessled
and
INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.light] Setting up light.limitlessled
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot further?
Can you post an image of the remote that works in the app? (this affects the settings that should be used).
Also, double check the IP address 
Thanks for your help!
Sure! The remote I am using is the second from the left:
With this “virtual remote”, it is working just fine!
The IP is correct. I am able to access the bridges web interface:
Hopefully you didn’t change any settings in that web interface.
The remote should work as type: rgbw like you had so it looks like some network issue at your end. Do you have a firewall or other advanced setup that could have gone awry?
You can enable debugging logs with the below configuration but it will only tell you that messages are being sent, you are not able to see whether they are received by the bridge.
logger:
default: warning
logs:
limitlessled: debug
I put a port into my config. See above.
Do you see the entity in Home Assistant?
Did you get it to work?
I have the same Wifi bridge with the exact same software version and was also struggling with the Hass config.
Verified port and ip address.
A version 6 in the configuration.yaml kept resulting in “Connection Refused” message in the home-assistant.log
I had tried several other versions and enabled debugging.
The cause of my problem was the setting on the MiLight controller, it was set to UDP 8899 (homebridge can only use UDP) while the Home-Assistant tries to connect using TCP (and could not connect, causing the connection refused message)
I changed the Network Connection to: TCP-Server and the port back to 5987 and use RGBWW for the type of my lights.
Now everything works!
Hope it helps
