Yes, the white is very bright, but colors are not shinny at all. Really a shame. It is the same with the Led Strip.
I bought 4 bulbs, adn 2 are not working anymore (One refuse to pair, and the other is totally dead). It is true that I played a lot with them, but after two weeks … Grrrrr !
Isn’t hyperion about individually addressable leds? lidl leds strips are not this type
I can’t find any option in either the Tuya SMart or Smart Life apps for adding a Zigbee port, the only options I see which seem possibly Zigbee related are:
There’s also “Concentrator (Zigbee)” but this seems to be something which requires a gateway to be configured.
Is it one of those options that I need, or am I missing something?
Which app are you using?
I’ve tried setting it up like that in the Smart Life app (manually adding the gateway and then the devices), and the devices don’t show up in the Tuya integration in Home Assistant.
I use the Tuya Smart app (Version 3.22.5)
I’ve tried it now with both the Smart Life and Tuya Smart apps, in both cases the devices show in the app but the Tuya integration in Home Assistant doesn’t show them (I removed the integration and reconfigured it with tuya as the type after switching to the Tuya app).
I wonder if it’s something to do with the country code - I configured it with UK (44).
I see what you mean now. First you wrote you could add the items to your app. But now it seems you managed correct? Because now you are saying you added them but they don’t show in the HA integration. That last bit you is known.
It will only show scenes so you have to make a scene for turning a lidl item ON and a scene for turning it OFF. These scenes you make in the app and then it will show in the integration.
Could you tell me how you have created this? I am able to turn the lights on and off, but I don’t see how to add the effects.
Hi
I bought a conbee II and I was able to add in my 2 devices using ZHA.
Extension lead works flawlessly but the led light strip I am only able to switch on/off, change brighness and white temp. Colours don’t seem to work at all. Anyone got the colours or patterns to work on the lidl lead light strip
So I was getting a very strange setup with the lightstrip.
I got what you were seeing on screen but the light would be on and HA wouldn’t show it as on.
If I clicked it on/off, it would work fine though. When I moved slider to warm white it was cold white and vica versa.
Clicking on a colour did nothing. When I went into edit the device, if I chose reconfigure device, it would change the light to the desired colour but when I clicked a colour or on/off in the main screen it went back to white and being messed up.
I deleted the device and repaired. Working perfectly now. Must have just been a weird setup.
Now to see if I can setup some of the light patterns it has in the smartlife app.
These don’t appear to be an option. Anyone know how to setup/import colour changing patterns.
Please tell me how the effects were added?
Sure.
The effects are just buttons which send MQTT messages.

Ah that’s great, thank you I will try this out immediately.
I’ve not got this set up yet myself (awaiting delivery of a Zigbee USB adapter) but, from what I’ve read, buttons and remotes don’t actually expose a sensor (other than the battery sensor). Instead, they fire events when a button is pressed. You’d need an automation with an event trigger to respond to it. With ZHA, I believe the event type is zha_event. To see what data is in these events so you can filter them in your automation:
How did you made it a submenu of that lightbutton, with the brightness control and colorpicker below it?
