New plugin for Milight - pimatic-milight-reloaded

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.

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

I am planning to add a color action soon. It’s almost finished. Maybe I can finish this off next weekend.

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

Greetings

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.

• 360 degrees hue is mapped to 255 hue values
• 100% brightness is mapped to 20 native brightness values (if requested)
• no saturation

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:

• violet
• royalblue
• deepskyblue
• aqua
• mint
• lightseagreen
• green
• limegreen
• yellow
• orange
• red
• pink
• fuchsia

How does it work in rules? Could you give a sample please?

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.

Unterstützt das neue Plugin jetzt auch die ibox2…?!

Yes. See https://forum.pimatic.org/topic/1889/new-plugin-for-milight-pimatic-milight-reloaded/1 for details. Support for the new full color bulbs will be released shortly.

Sehr gut… Vielen lieben dank für das plugin… Kannst du mir vielleicht noch mal bei einer regel helfen… Ich möchte wenn der button x gedrückt wird… Dann soll die zone 1 erst auf 100 Prozent weis Leuchten und dann die farbe nach 30sec auf blau setzen und langsam abdunkeln bis auf 30 Prozent… Ich bekomme es aber nur hin das sie weis anfangen zu leuchten auf 100 Prozent und dann sofort auf blau wechseln… Einen wait Befehl scheint es ja nicht zu geben… Und for oder after funktioniert nicht…

Not elegant, but the following works for me (0secs: white 100%, 5 secs: blue, 10-16secs: dim to 30% in 10% steps each second).

dim milight-v6-bridge-light-1 to 100 and milight set color milight-v6-bridge-light-1 to white and milight set color milight-v6-bridge-light-1 to blue after 5s and dim milight-v6-bridge-light-1 to 90 after 10s and dim milight-v6-bridge-light-1 to 80 after 11s and dim milight-v6-bridge-light-1 to 70 after 12s and dim milight-v6-bridge-light-1 to 60 after 13s and dim milight-v6-bridge-light-1 to 50 after 14s and dim milight-v6-bridge-light-1 to 40 after 15s and dim milight-v6-bridge-light-1 to 30 after 16s

It would be nice to have a more advanced dim function with time interval and step width values. However, a smooth transition is not possible as Milight only supports 20 brightness levels.

BTW: pimatic-hap@0.10.0 adds extended support for pimatic-milight-reloaded. (https://github.com/michbeck100/pimatic-hap/issues/45)

Hi,
I have 2 sets of light bulbs from Milight. (3 WWCW zone1 FUT017 and 2 RGB-CCT zone4 FUT103) I can controle both via the app on my iphone but i can only controle zone 4 via Pimatic.

Zone4 is configured via MilightFullColorZone
Zone1 is configured via MilightWWCWZone

Anyone know why i cannot control the zone1?

for the bridge i use the v6 lamp.

Thanks!
