@DeanoX Could you share your node red implementation?
Hi all,
first of all, sorry for my english language, i’m spanish and it is not so good.
I have seen your post about s1-b and wifi relay and i want to integrate it in order to use on alexa or google home.
I have no idea about home assistant (im a computer enginering, but i only know little details about home assistant).
I have 7 S1-B installed on my home and i want to control it.
Could you help me and show the correct way to do it?
Thanks you so much.
Regards.
Hi everyone!
Since I also have these at home, I wanted to contribute somehow and created a Python library and a HACS based integration. Currently, it supports only CCT controllers, but it shouldn’t be a big issue to add RGB support, if the integration proves to be useful.
Could you please give it a try, report the issues and possibly request additional features on GitHub?

Thanks for the effort but alas the link is broken, can you fix it ?
Hi guys
I have read this thread and I would like to accomplish actually the opposite way.
Is there a way to use some of the Skydance wall mounted DMX512 master panels (like this one Touch Panel 4 Zone RGB DMX512 Master & RF Remote T13 ) and let Home Assistant read its output? So the wall mounted panel would send DMX512 command to HomeAssistant (directly or with help of Nodered or anyhow) and HA would set the properties of the chosen light appropriately and then HA would control the lights (in a common way depending of the light type). So the Skydance panel would not control any lights directly but it would serve the same purpose as if you would control the color/brightness/etc. of the light in Lovelace.

Hi @drax can you share how to get the values to create your sheet?
It was so long ago…I think I have used HTTP Canary on my phone to capture the TCP traffic, i am sure you can to this with wireshark as well

I was thinking of a way of updating the status when the lights are switched on by a switch. My idea is to add an ACS712 (https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DnNCCVJ) and an esp with a wifi module between the controller and the led, so that when it detects a change in voltage it can send an update of the device’s current status.
What are your thoughts on this? Is it possible?
I know this is an older thread, but I really like the Skydance RF product line.
Even compared to their wifi/zigbee/other controls.
Specifically, they make some low-voltage rotary/knob dimmers and also some handheld remotes with a nice layout and silicone buttons.
They have discontinued their Wi-Fi RF gateway, although I think I might be able to find some new old stock.
Is trying to send/receive commands from their RF devices crazy?
It is 2.4Ghz, so RF hacking threads I have read indicate it’s a hard hill to climb.
And there seem to be very few RF bridges that work in the 2.4Ghz range.
(However, the RF Gateway from Skydance says it will pair with 16 zones and save 8 scenes, although I thought I also found one that would pair with 128 devices).
Ideally, I would have the remotes send a command and then Home Assistant would process and send out the levels/scenes to the devices.
This should also, possibly, allow the local devices (a dimmer knob on a table lamp) to send it’s changes out via rf so that Home Assistant knows the status of that fixture.
Another idea is to use the RF devices I like from Skydance and then use Zigbee devices in other locations and have Home Assistant act as a bridge.
So a zigbee scene button at the front door could run a ‘whole house off’ command over RF and also other protocols.
There seems to have been a big push to integrate Skydance RF back in 2019 and 2020, but not much since then.
Is this a losing battle?
thanks
Well I for one have been trying to resolve HASS connection with Skydance devices following a kitchen refit where the installer used controllers that aren’t HASS friendly.
I’ve not been able to locate a bridge in the UK and haven’t found a way to get it recognised with RFlink.
So interested in any progress you make!
I don’t even have a working HA setup yet, but this is the device that might be worth hacking:
I was told by the ‘sales rep’ via a chat program that it only work with phone app, and the apps are discontinued and buggy.
If you can get the hardware, perhaps it would just be the bridge that could be hacked to receive and send commands.
I don’t know enough about how the data is stored and resent to know how to resolve this.
It seems like a huge ‘hole’ in the market; the 2.4GHz RF controls that someone should make a device that can cross-communicate.
I thought I found a DIY 2.4GHz transceiver - but I have not been able to find it again.
Yep, that’s the one I believe. Just need to get around the minimum purchase units …
DANG IT!
When I was doing my research a few months ago, I could purchase ONE of those, now I see they have a minimum of 100!
Well, that changes the plans.
BUT They just came out with an 8-zone remote, so I might go this route anyway and try hacking it later.
If anyone has any updates, please post.
