I’ve been scouring this community and many other forums over the past few months looking for a solution.
I bough a ceiling light/chandelier from a company call Lightzey (which claimed to be from Manchester but they are actually just drop shipping from China).
The lights arrived and they are not that bad, build quality is decent etc. however the LED’s are controlled by a cheap 2.4Ghz remote and I’d like to integrate in Home Assistant. The driver is a GoMieoo 240v to 24v 2 wire, CWWW:
I have found loads of these on AliExpress and they state to be used with special LED light strips: 24V constant voltage 2Pin dual-color parallel LED light strips, (192LED/m, 12W/m, 500mA/m) with one of the listings actually specifying SMD 2835 LED’s with 192 pixel density.
I’d like to replace the controller with something that can be flashed with ESPHome if possible or at least integrate into Home Assistant but I’m not sure where to start as most controllers use more than just two cables.
I’m using the simulating remote option at the moment by connecting the remote buttons to a D1 Mini but it’s a bit clunky since communication is one way.
If anyone has experience working with 2 wire CWWW LED’s and can suggest any options for drivers I would be grateful.
I am in almost exactly same situation.
Took a leap and ordered a china lamp from Amazon, well aware that it only be dimmed by a rf remote.
I thought it would be easy to find a replacement cct led controller with zwave or zigbee and a push dimmer.
But this lamp seems to be using an unusual driver.
constant current of only 240ma (that is quite low)
DC voltage between 120V-180V (VERY high)
quite high wattage, 50-72W.
Does anyone seen anything similar with zigbee or zwave and support for a wall switch push dimmer??
I expect this is one of those weird drivers that are switching the polarity. Basically half of the LEDs are “backwards”, so swapping the polarity it can control separately cool and warm LEDs just with two wires.
But there is 4 wires in a circuit, guessing one for cold leds and one for warm.
Felt a need to figure this out to see if there was something under the cover that could help me further.
Measured the different cables and got voltage of 0 and in the range of -180-215V and +180-215V depending on dim /color level.
I am ready to give up on this lamp. Hardly find any driver with that high voltage output (that should be 120-180V according to the text on housing.
And absolutely nothing with any zwave or zigbee
Attaching som photos from the inside. Maybe will help someone in the future.
Then yours is different from the topic title one…
I agree, to find compatible driver it’s not worth the time and money. So hacking the one you have is better option.
