Posted February 6Feb 6 I recently purchased a MagicHome-family RGBW LED strip controller (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QG7HCZG) and attempted to use it with the MagicHome node server (just started the 30 day free trial). "On" and "Off" worked but the other settings didn't work and I saw some "Unrecognized bulb type 6" errors. Poking at the rgbled.py script it appears that the type 6 I have behaves similarly to a type 68 (things started working better when I edited the script to change "WWBULB=6" instead of "WWBULB=68"; setting dim levels and colors work properly now). Any chance that support for this could be added to the official release?
February 6Feb 6 Sure, it can be added. Are you sure it's not more like RGBWSTRIP (type 37)? Can you try setting that to 6 and see if it works?

I tried that one first - with RGBWSTRIP=6, the "Unrecognized bulb type" errors went away but the behavior didn't otherwise change (on/off worked; everything else I tried was ignored). With WWBULB=6 I saw expected behavior from level sets, all of the "set effects" I tried, set color temperature, brighten, and dim.

Any chance that support for this could be added to the official release? I wrote my own interface and had to update the firmware many times each time a new version of the bulbs came out.Then white variations use a completely different level technique also.I have them all compensated with patches now and they work well.I can control up to 10 bulbs simultaneously on the fly with some ISY program code and 3 NRs. All software is contained inside my polisy.Sent from my SM-S711W using Tapatalk
February 6Feb 6 Solution @WSommerfeld, Added type 6 and pushed the update to the plug-in store. It's now version 1.0.4
