Xiaomi Mi Computer Monitor Light Bar 1S with ESPHome — and a working Dimmer

Hi all! For about a year now I’m running two of these devices at home and at work, and finally I got some spare time to put it all together for the community in an easy-to-use form, because I noticed somehow nobody still cracked that.
My employer has a ridiculous open source participation rules (“conflict of interest”, duh), so I’m circumventing that by using an anonymous GitHub account, lol.

Anywho, I would like to share a set of ESPHome packages which, when flashed, allows the following:

  • Full support for the dimmer knob
  • Working presets (you can keep using ones from stock firmware, or generate your own)
  • Blinking the lamp exposed as an action, so you can use it in, i don’t know, notifications :slight_smile:

GitHub repo: https://github.com/vanzi11a/esphome-xiaomi_monitor_light_bar_s1

PR to ESPHome devices database is also up, so hopefully it would soon become widely available for people who don’t participate in the community.,
