Yes. Via the hub your’re able to control 4 channels individually. Accordings to the docs it is possible to pair 100+ lights per channel.
Ah okay i could control 4 different color seance but up to 100 devices (RGB Stripes) on any of the 4?

Yes. That’s a good choice. The new hub with integrated LED light is a nice gimmick. You can see it as a 5th channel which you can control individually. I am planning to use it as an indicator when new e-mails or messages arrive. There is also a version of the hub without the integrated LED light, but it seem to be out-of-stock at the moment.
Pimatic support for milight version 6 should be ready before Xmas.

Yes. This is stated in the V4 Wifi Bridge User Guide which have been compiled by LimitLess LED, which is one of the major distributors in Europe. See section 3.3 on page 7, http://www.limitlessled.com/download/LimitlessLED_Wifi_Bridge_v4_Instructions_March2014.pdf

damn, i bought 4 bulbs and the bridge v5 some weeks ago
Well, maybe this is not too bad. The new bulbs are more expensive and depending on the usage scenario the “full colour” aspect is not that important. Note, you can also use the legacy bulbs with the new bridge just in case you wish to upgrade at a later point.

@mwittig very nice!
Witch DC 12v power supply do you prefer for rgb stripes?

And one more question:
Is the 4 area limitation with bulbs like this to?

Yes. It goes a little bit beyond that if you use different types of bulbs as each bulb type uses a different control command set. Say for example, you assign a WW/CW bulb and a RGBW bulb to a zone then you can switch these two bulbs individually. In other words you have 4 white zones and 4 rgbw zones. In practice this has little relevance, I think.
Maybe the limitation to 4 zones is about to disappear with the next version of the bridge. I have seen a note which states version 7 of the Wifi bridge will be released in 2017 which is talking about “unlimited zones”, whatever this is meant to be. For the time being, a work around is to use multiple bridges.

its on sale
That’s the “old” version. It can also be used with the new bridge, but you can only choose between 256 colors.
The new full colour bulb can be found here for example

See https://github.com/mwittig/node-milight-promise/issues/7

@mwittig Hey, is there any progress on the plugin so far? 
Is there any way I can help maybe?
@FrostedKiwi As you can see I have completed the base line work on node-milight-promise. Apart from this I have drafted a quick and dirty integration milight-reloaded which works reasonably well. The next step is to write a driver for pimatic-led-light. I am planning new release for both plugins before end of Feb.

Time is running by and end of feb is comming soon. So any update on the new version of the plugin?
Released pimatic-milight-reloaded@0.9.5. See README for current status.

@leader21 Thanks! A have noticed a minor glitch: After the update when the first device is added to page a toast a toast with an error message comes up and the device can’t be added. In this case go back to the normal view and press reload in the browser. Apparently it is a caching problem and I have ssen that with other plugins too.

Great, I will test it soon.
Basically to get as well the warm/cold white function and RGB color for one lamp I need to install two devices with the same zone?
@mwittig Nice! I’ve got the bridge light working now, but my full color RGB light is not responding to any of the devices. I’ve enabled debug in plugin settings, but there’s no debugging in the logs.

I am sorry full color RGB is not included in the current release. I’ll release support full color RGB lights asap. It has already landed on master. For this reason it is already included in the README link I have posted earlier. I should have posted the npmjs link instead (or keep stuff on a development branch until it gets released).
