Only 1 LED stripe of 3 working - Limitlessled/MiLight Component V6 Bridge (iBox2)

Configuration
1

I have problem with MiLight that only 1 (first) LED stripe is working out of 3.
Via remote control and via official Android app I normaly control all 3 LED stripes, but via HA I control only first LED stipe, second and third is not working.

Do you know what could be the problem? Is the problem in my configuration? Is this correct that there is only 1 group and every zone is own number or should be every zone own group? I have 3 RF RGBWW receivers, for every LED stripe own receiver…

are you saying you have 3 different iBox’s??? Because you only have one configured

4

This is my complete configuration as seen on picture…

I have only 1 WiFi Box, and 3 receivers…

6

The zone is the group and your configuration looks ok to me. so if you use remote and zone 3 the lights work if you use the app/remote? Is the type RGBWW correct for the LED strip?

7

Yes, I have 3 RGBWW LED stripes (all the same). All is working fine with remote control (which directly communicate to receivers) and all is also working fine via Android remote app which communicate via V6 Bridge iBox2.

Only HA do not work correctly, only 1 zone is working, zone 2 and 3 not. Because I know that this is strange I ask on forum…

if you head over to discord chat forum you might catch @arsaboo - I think he’s the guru on limitlessled… or maybe amelchio… Someone there can probably help if they are awake anyway…

Thank you, I will contact them, I hope that somebody knows what is wrong…

Sorry, I am no expert on this. Are you sure they are all paired in the same way?

11

How do you mean in the same way?
I normally control all 3 zones with Android app and all 3 zones with one remote control… so I asume that everything is OK if controling via iBox2 via Android app is normal…

Maybe I missed something in configuration file that only 1 (first) zone is working…

12

Should I somehow pair every zone with HA and not only with Android app?

13

I tried also to change ports from 8899 to 5987 and to try TCP-Server mode and TCP-Client mode in settings of iBox2 and nothing helped.
I notice that 8899 and 5987 port under UDP doesn’t have any impact on working… Problem still persist…

If I define port on configuration file - then lights do not show in HA screen at all.

This is my config:

# LimitlessLED
- platform: limitlessled
  bridges:
    - host: x.x.x.x
      version: 6
      port: 5987
      groups:
      - number: 1
        type: rgbww
        name: Lounge
      - number: 2
        type: rgbww
        name: Dining
      - number: 3
        type: rgbww
        name: Office
      - number: 4
        type: rgbww
        name: Spots

As you can see I am specifying the port.

16

Did you change port settings in iBox2 from 8899 to 5987?

17

5987 is the default I believe for a v6 iBox2. It’s never used 8899 for iBox2

18

But in screenshot (previous post) you can see that default setting is UDP and port 8899.

19

no idea. I just set mine up from the LimitlessLED component here.

20

If you log into iBox2 web interface, which port.do you have set?

Also… how did you add lights to Android app, by turnung power OFF/ON and Link or somehow other way? Do you also use remote control? Do you have similar situation as seen on picture where I show devices structure?
