Posted May 1, 20196 yr Hi Just wanted to know if this device is compatible with nodelink https://www.amazon.ca/Mi-Light-Wireless-Controller-Compatible-Smartphone/dp/B01N9TPFPQ?th=1&psc=1

They are not WiFi compatible, despite what they imply or directly state. The bridging hubs are found on the same advert. The older hubs can only control 4 groups of devices. That means, four independent addresses and every bulb/device will respond together that uses the same address/group number. You could have 100 devices using the same group number. Some newer hubs will control eight devices. I am not sure about the newer vase style hub. I have two hubs and about 6 RGBWW controllers, and four MiLight RGBWW bulbs I have removed, if interested, I believe the NodeLink node services the older hubs. I did see a particular version it supported once but you would need to research that for polyglot or ask the NodeLink code writer here. Edited May 2, 20196 yr by larryllix
May 2, 20196 yr Author Is this the WiFi box? https://www.amazon.ca/Mi-Light-iBox2-Controller-Compatible-System-Not/dp/B01N7C3HXQ/ref=pd_sim_60_3/139-2162166-2391343?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01N7C3HXQ&pd_rd_r=8c853299-6c7a-11e9-8684-3ba914696e6d&pd_rd_w=75mVD&pd_rd_wg=JcssP&pf_rd_p=29a85b27-a36a-4f8d-94ca-61aa962c5f39&pf_rd_r=JVTPZ6P4G5B4PVT40D5B&psc=1&refRID=JVTPZ6P4G5B4PVT40D5B Will NodeLink control this one? I presume I need this and the LED controller that I posted above. It's surprising they don't make LED controller that connects to WiFi directly. Does NodeLink get two way communication from this? Will it report status (on/off/colour/etc) in the ISY console? Edited May 2, 20196 yr by beninsteon

Will it report status (on/off/colour/etc) in the ISY console? That appears to be the one but IIRC they didn't call it an iBox2 originally (with mine anyway). NodeLinc only knows what I last sent so if you changed a setting via the hand remote, or turned the power off it would not know the status. Edited May 2, 20196 yr by larryllix
May 2, 20196 yr You can also get an emulator. They are MUCH cheaper and have more options when you need multiple. Learn more here: https://blog.christophermullins.com/2017/02/11/milight-wifi-gateway-emulator-on-an-esp8266/
May 2, 20196 yr I'm gonna merge mine into my Pi soon: https://snt.sh/2014/09/limitlessled-wifi-bridge-4-0-conversion-raspberry-pi/

Make a great NodeLink option for sale. Edited May 2, 20196 yr by larryllix
