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 plugin

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!
@Jaschkopf
i´ve changed to pimatic-led-light which supports color action.
@Jaschkopf Implemented as part of pimatic-milight-reloaded@0.9.5

great news, will try it soon
@mwittig realy nice feature. Thanks for fast implementation. Is there anywhere a list of all possible colours?

Generally, all CSS named colors (sometimes also referred to as HTML colors) should work, see http://htmlcolorcodes.com/color-names/ for example. Color names need to be provided in all lowercase letters without spaces.
Note, however, the color rendition of the legacy RGBWW bulbs is limited as it is not possible to control the saturation (the new “full color” bulbs support this, however). Moreover, the milight color action does not change Brightness as part of the color rendition (based on a RGB to HSV tranformation). I can do that on request (e.g. as an option), but I found this rather disturbing as Milight only supports 20 native brightness levels. Basically, it is a lossfull mapping due to the Milight limitations.
Also keep in mind that state of art RGB LED bulbs can’t render grey, black or brown colors. Something like “lightslategray” won’t be somewhere near gray, but it’ll will give some blue.
The following colors work well for me:

How does it work in rules? Could you give a sample please?
@SaxnPaule said in New plugin for Milight - pimatic-milight-reloaded:

WHEN ... THEN milight set color milight-v6-bridge-light-1 to red
…where the given color value can be a CSS color name (all lowercase, no spaces), a RGB hex value, e.g. FF0000
(without quotes) or a variable reference.
