Sengled LED bulbs and hub with HA

mercenaruss · February 28, 2020, 1:59pm

I think this can work,but will not look nice:

I also did some sniffing last night and I can see where the mobile phone queries the sengled servers for the firmware of the hub. Wonder if we can just give it a generic openwrt/tomato type firmware

The firmware for the hub is listed here:

I opened today the device,connected to UART.
I think is not possible to install OpenWrt, device dont have flash memory,only big amount of RAM. So basically is cloud based device.

All what can be done is to use EM357 like USB dongle,but this require a firmware change.

Looks like the factory image is 2.7M.

Would something like this work? Not sure ont he flash requirements:

Installed OpenWRT on it (tftp method), not really stable problem with wifi. sometime kernel panic,cc2531 still best option.

can you give instructions here and drop files, so i will try also?

Have somebody backup of EM357 chip?
I managed to flash him, to erase with JTAG.

Guys I have the Sengled bulds with hub working in HA. Still needs work.

Awesome, looking forward to this. @allenfarmer1, you mention HACS, is that a module like /hassio/addon/core_git_pull/info that can pull GIT? or something else

I’m on Hassio.

edit: found https://hacs.xyz/docs/installation/manual… reading.
loaded the samba addon and used it to get the hacs folder moved to the rasbpi
on you follow the HACS install instructions, navigate to your HACS install here /hacs/integrations and pick Custom Repositories in the triple dot menu in the top right.

@robbruce70 So did you it get working?

robbruce70 · June 10, 2020, 7:34pm

Funny, just submitted a bug. It didn’t! Maybe my version isn’t compatible? Maybe I screwed something up. The ‘light’ devices are there, they just don’t work.

allenfarmer1 · June 11, 2020, 2:04am

There was an issue and now it has been corrected… Thanks for working wit me @robbruce70

Hi @allenfarmer1 Thanks for creating this. I have 3 Sengled WiFi bulbs that I can test this with. Can you please let me know what the country code for the UK is? Is it gb or uk? I tried both but get the following error:

SengledApi: SengledApi authenticated but could not find any devices.

allenfarmer1 · June 24, 2020, 6:39pm

@esc247 I am still working on support for the Wifi Bulbs. Currently this only supports using the Sengled Hub with zigbee bulbs. I will add this info to the Repo.

esc247 · June 25, 2020, 7:53am

I can help you test wifi bulb support if you need it

allenfarmer1 · August 17, 2020, 10:28pm

I have added some support for wifi bulbs. You see an update soon.

Bradley_Parsons · August 17, 2020, 11:28pm

Cant wait to see update, been having issues with it just seeing one of 3 bulbs and always saying unavailable.

allenfarmer1 · August 18, 2020, 1:55pm

What type of bulbs do you currently have? If you any of the debug logs i can look at them.

Lordhenry76 · August 19, 2020, 9:59am

Hi, I have the same issue with my 3 sengled wifi bulbs without hub. I get this error after I installed your integration:
SengledApi: SengledApi authenticated but could not find any devices.
There is a fix for this?
Thanks in advance.
