- Did you check the pimatic log for error messages?
- Do you have a firewall, e.g. iptables, installed on your Raspi which might be blocking udp outbound traffic?
- Are you sure you’ve picked the right ip address for the bridge? If it’s on DHCP and without a static assignment, there’s a chance its IP address has changed. Try to use 192.168.0.255 in case of doubt
- try to use port 5000
- Try to use zone 0

no error messages, firewall or other i dont know. its stock raspbian. ip address of the bridge is changed to static.
changed zone 1 to 0 in config.
zone 0 is working very well. great!but in the milight app the bulb is on zone 1.
i will install the other 3 bulbs in the next few days. hope i can control every bulb in a zone…
-
But your milight bright is in the same network as pimatic is and the milight is not an acces point?
-
@p4co86
yes, milight bridge and pimatic are in the same network. milight bridge is in STA Mode.i´ve added the config for MilightWWCWZone, too. ON/OFF is not working in this version?
{ "id": "milightwwcwzone1", "class": "MilightWWCWZone", "name": "Zone 1 ON/OFF", "ip": "192.168.0.19", "port": 8899, "zoneId": 1 },
tried zoneid 0, not working…

Note, MilightWWCWZone will only work with WW/CW bulbs. These bulbs have different control codes than the RGBW bulbs.
Next thing to try is the following:
- Open a shellon your Raspi Pi where pimatic is installed
- Run the ping command as follows:
ping 192.168.0.19
Do you see packets receiving?
If, yes and you have a Windows PC, please download http://www.limitlessled.com/download/LimitlessLEDv5.zip and run the exe. Then enter your IP address in the filed marked red and press “Get Protocol”, please send the result shown to the left of the button.

@mwittig
the tool shows me the same as you in the protocol field.i think i solved it. the bulb is on zone 3 and not on zone 1 as i thought.
its a little weird. in the app the bulb was on zone 1. whatever, it seems that its okay now.and i deleted the wwcw device
great plugin! thanks so much! do you know when you release an update with more functions?

Sorry, I completely overlooked you said it is working on zone 0. It strange however, that the zone is not the same as assigned by the app. I am using Milight 1.9 (release 22.12.2015) on iOS which works fine for me (same zone id as with pimatic).
great plugin! thanks so much! do you know when you release an update with more functions?
Thanks. I’m glad you like it! Please consider ★ starring the project on github.
I am planning to add a color action soon. It’s almost finished. Maybe I can finish this off next weekend.

yeah, would be awesome!

How is it possible to get an On/Off Button for the RGBW zone too? In addition to the color and brightness slider?

Not at the moment, I am afraid. I omitted the switch by design to make the UI as minimalistic as possible. However, you can use switch predicates and actions as part of rules.
If I find some time to do it I’ll add the UI switch as an option. So, I’ll regard this as a feature request.

Yes I know.
Unfortunately the floating of the elements isn’t very good on smartphones. Sliders are very small too, so buttons are better to use on a smartphone.A cool feature would be a custom placement and size of elements, but this is pimatic and not plugin related.

I’m replacing some of my Milight RGB lamps with WWCW bulbs (better warmwhite color for use in the living room). Unfortunately, the pimatic-led-light plugin does not support WWCW bulbs (as far as I know), so I’m very happy that pimatic-milight-reloaded indeed supports them. It’s working great!
One thing I can’t figure out is how to dim the WWCW bulb using rules. I’m using a “movie mode” rule dimming all bulbs to 20%, which is working great with the RGB ones, but it doesn’t seem to work with the WWCW ones. Is it even possible since the control scheme is different (arrows instead of a slider, see “Wohnzimmerlampe” in the picture)? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Dimming WWCW bulbs requires special actions which have not been implemented yet, unfortunately. The problem is, it is not possible to set an absolute dimming value for WWCW bulbs but you only increase/decrease the dim level.

That’s what I thought, thanks for the clarification. Could it be possible to “push the arrow buttons” several times using rules?
The most important thing is that switching the lamp on/off works now, everything apart from that would be a bonus. -
I just tried the plugin (switched from led-light)
I’m missing the on / off button. Is it possible to have the button on RGBW lights too?

Please see my post from one month ago

have you finished the color action? i would like to set a specific color with a buttonsdevice and a rule. dimming via rule works fine.

@garnett
Hi, I have exactly the same problem … dimming about the variable “dim” goes fine. But the colors can not be specified explicitly yet. But the programmer said yes in the next update this function is implemented. I’m looking forward to it … Otherwise super great work and a super pluginGreetings

Hey. I’m also waiting for a feature to set the RGB.hue variable by rules, so my dummy-button can apply a complete light scene. That would be awesome!
