node-red-contrib-milight-2 1.0.8

A Node-RED node to control the MiLight family (limitless led, easybulb) of light.

npm install node-red-contrib-milight-2

node-red-contrib-milight-2

A Node Red node to control all bulb types Milight LED bulbs and OEM equivalents such as Rocket LED, Limitless LED Applamp, Easybulb, s'luce, iLight, iBulb, and Kreuzer.

This project is a fork of stephenkeep/node-red-contrib-milight. I decided to spawn my fork as a new package as the author of the parent project is not replying to e-mails and pending issues since months.

Install

You can either install the package from the command line or choose "Manage Palette" from the menu of the node-red web application.

npm i node-red-contrib-milight-2

The following bulb types are supported:

• WW/CW, aka. "white"
• RGB WW, aka. "color"
• RGB WW/CW, aka. "full color" (iBox1/iBox2 bridges)
• RGB WW/CW, aka. "full color" with 8-zone remote (iBox1/iBox2 bridges)
• RGB CW bridge light (iBox1 bridge)

To control the bulb pass the command to msg.payload as follows:

• 'on' - Turns the bulb on (all bulb types)
• 'off' - Turns the bulb off (all bulb types)
• 'night' - Turn the night mode (all bulb types)
• 'white' - Sets a color bulb to white (color bulb types only)
• 'disco' - Cycles a bulb through all the colors (color bulb types, only)
• 'mode' - Cycles through the effect modes (color bulb types only)
• 'speed_up' - Increase the speed of effect mode (color bulb types, only)
• 'speed_down' - Decrease the speed of effect mode (color bulb types, only)
• 'bright_up' - Increase the brightness of the bulb (white bulb, only)
• 'bright_down' - Decrease the brightness of the bulb (white bulb, only)
• 'cooler' - Make the bulb cooler (white bulb, only)
• 'warmer' - Make the bulb warmer (white bulb, only)
• 'bright_max' - Make the bulb brightness maximum (white bulb, only)
• Number - If a number is provided the brightness, color, or saturation value of the color bulb can be controlled by assigning a command verb to msg.command or msg.topic as follows
  • 'brightness' - Set brightness, msg.payload must contain a number in 0 - 100
  • 'color' - Set color, msg.payload must contain a number in 0 - 255
  • 'saturation' - Set color saturation (full color bulb type, only), msg.payload must contain a number in 0 - 100
  • 'temperature' - Set white color temperature (full color bulb type, only), msg.payload contains a value between 0 - 100, where 0 is 2700 K and 100 is 6500 K.
• Color String - If a color string, e.g. "blue" or "rgb(255, 128, 128)" is provided and the command verb "rgb" is assigned to msg.command or msg.topic the RGB color can be set. Note, however, for "color" and "bridge" type bulbs the Milight hue will be set, only. For "full color" bulbs the saturation and brightness will be also set.
• Mode String - If a mode string, "0x01" to "0x09" is provided and the command verb "mode" is assigned to msg.command or msg.topic the specific mode will be set. (V6 color bulb types only)
