MiLight with RFLink

---

Hi All;
I’m looking at getting a Milight RF bridge (NOT WIFI) to control using the RFLink gateway I allready have going. Is this supported with the pimatic plugins as they stand?

@Aaron-Katz I don’t think it is supported. What you can use is MilightRF24 the https://github.com/philip1986/pimatic-led-light

I have updated the firmware RFLink gateway to R48. I am able to see the log from my MiLight controller that sends RF signals at 2.4 GHz. The RFLink reports

I would like to send a command from pimatic using the device:

{ "id": "rfswitch_milight1", "name": "MiLight terras", "class": "RFLinkSwitch", "protocols": [ { "name": "MiLightv1", "id": "4413", "switch": "1" } ] },

When pressing this device in Pimatic, the following message is reported:

15:58:20.533 [pimatic-rflink] debug: send: "10;MiLightv1;004413;1;ON;" 15:58:20.759 [pimatic-rflink] debug: data: "20;10;CMD UNKNOWN;" 15:58:20.767 [pimatic] error: Failed to send: CMD UNKNOWN

How to solve this issue? Is there also controls for bright/color/mode/disco?

{ “id”: “rfswitch_milight1”, “name”: “MiLight terras”, “class”: “RFLinkSwitch”, “protocols”: [ { “name”: “MiLightv1”, “id”: “4413”, “switch”: “1” } ] },

Perhaps I am wrong, but shouldn’t “switch” be “00” as shown in the log output? If this does not solve the issue and you don’t get further support here please open an issue at https://github.com/sirchia/pimatic-rflink/issues

Is there also controls for bright/color/mode/disco?

No. See https://github.com/sirchia/pimatic-rflink/issues/16

Address = 0 is common for all 4 switches. Address=1…4 is for individual switch. So my control should be fine. I understand that the MiLight control is still not implemented so far.

Yes, however, ON/OFF should work.
