No, as the DIY bridge use a proprietary REST API. You should be able to control it from the command using curl commands. If so, you can integrate it using pimatic-shell-execute to switch and dim lights. Controlling color will be more difficult to do as Milight does not support a standard color model out-of-the-box. What you can do is to simply control “hue” (and “saturation” if you have the new full color bulbs) with a slider.

I have the diy bridge working with pimatic-milight-reloaded
It has a little bit delay but works well. I have one MilighRGBWZone device created for a RGBW strip.The ESP can emulate a gateway. After pairing the bulb/stripe create a server with the coresponding device id.

@kosta Thanks for the update. I didn’t know it can also emulate the command set of the Milight wifi controller.
