Mirabella Genio Smart Home

Third party integrations
121

hi all, I am quite new to this. I was able to successfully flash tasmota on the genio warm white bulb and have it in HA. From there I can control the brightness and turn it on/off. I went a step further by adding a scene to dim it over time using transition but I couldn’t get it working.

here is what I have in configuration.yaml to define the scene:
scene:

  • name: dimbedroomlight
    entities:
    light.masterlampshade: on
    brightness: 0
    transition: 10

and here is what I have in my automation.yaml:

  • id: dimbrlight
    alias: Dim Bedroom Light
    trigger:
    • platform: state
      entity_id: light.masterlampshade
      to: ‘’‘on’’’
      action:
    • service: scene.turn_on
      entity_id: scene.dimbedroomlight

I also tried to manually fire off the trigger using the UI but nothing happens. When I look at the trigger from the UI, I noticed that the Service data is blank:
image

Shouldn’t it have the scene that I configured in the yaml?

the bullets in the post above are not actual bullets buy hyphens … not sure why it was converted as bullets after I posted

123

you need to properly edit your code snippet. See the instructions at the top of the page on how to do it

thanks Dave, I will do that next time

I managed to get this working by just using time as the trigger:

- id: prepsleep
  trigger:
    platform: time
    at: "22:00:00"
  alias: Prepare to Sleep
  action:
    - service: scene.turn_on
      entity_id: scene.prepsleep

Hi efleming - wondering how you manged to flash the Brilliant bulbs. I have tried using the ESPhome cookbook for mirabella/genio bulbs but it just does not pair using the tuya-convert. Wondering if it is new firmware as discussed at the bottom of this post that could be potentially stopping the process?

127

Have you tried the new version of Tuya-Convert?

128

Do you have a copy of the original firmware for the Genio Motion Sensor? I spoke to the people at Tasmota and they say this sensor will not be supported because it has a second chip or something. Long story short I think it will be possible to still use it with Tuya addon in HA and the original firmware. I unfortunately lost my copy in a freak PI SD card mixup :wink:

129

Don’t have a copy of the original firmware - but I know that unfortunately the sensor is not currently supported in HA… I have one sitting on a shelf gathering dust.

Yeah its latest version. I put the Brilliant bulb into pair mode, then once i kick of the tuya-convert the bulb stops blinking as if it is paired but the flash process in tuya-convert does not commence. All I get is … across the screen. Looking in the logs it does appear to do the initial handshake but thats as far as it gets.

I have flashed Brilliant plugs before so my config is good.

131

I’ve had a Brilliant plug for a while now, used with HA through the Tuya integration.
Am I correct in thinking that flashed devices lose their Google Assistant capability?

132

Anything in HA can be used with Google Assistant if you have GA integrated with HA either via Nabu-casa or the manual integration. Of course the tuya native component won’t work if you aren’t using tuya firmware…

Yep I have a copy. I’ll get it to you later tonight. I can’t seem to go back from Tasmota, if you work out how to revert back, let me know.

134

Sure will. Thank you.Appreciate the effort in getting me the firmware.

135

Hi Johan, did you try to flash this globe with the new Tuya-Convert or the old version?

136

I tried both without any success. Have you had any luck with these?

137

I haven’t bought any but was going to if they worked.

I recently brought a Mirabella Genio GU10 wifi light from K-Mart today and attempted to flash it with both Tuya convert v1 and 2 but had no luck. The light flashes for pairing mode but as soon as I start the process it stops flashing and I just get the dots on the ssh terminal window. I’m using raspberry pi with stretch. Anyone had any success with this particular light in the genio range?

139

For everyone having trouble flashing any of the Mirabella Genio devices, please make sure you clone the updated Tuya convert and run the installer again. A lot has changed to get both the old and new firmwares working. When flashing the newer firmware, it will take a lot longer. It should flash for a couple of seconds then stop. It seems like it is stuck but it’s actually not. Give it time and you should see it backup the firmware then you can flash them with whatever Tasmota bin file you want.

Success I decided to give it one more try with the Mirabella gu10 light. I created a new folder on my raspberry pi buster lite image and re cloned the Tuya convert to it via the normal Tuya convert github link. Installed all the prerequisites again and viola it worked straight away.
Now I need the exact Tasmota config to use for the cool daylight to warm white gu10 bulb so that I can change the colour temp between 2700k and 6500k.

Anyone got a link for that?
