AiLight is a custom firmware for the inexpensive Ai-Thinker (or equivalent) RGBW WiFi light bulbs that has a ESP8266 onboard and controlled by the MY9291 LED driver.

Current Stable Release: v0.6.0 (Please read the changelog for detailed information).

With AiLight you can:

• switch the light on or off
• set the level of the 4 colour channels (Red, Green, Blue and White)
• set the brightness level
• set the light at a particular colour temperature
• let the light flash (i.e. blinking with a given colour and brightness)
• enable Gamma Correction to make the LED colours appear closer to what our eyes perceive
• set the light to transition to the new state, rather than immediately.

This can all be done with the built-in (mobile friendly) Web UI or in Home Assistant (using the MQTT built-in integration via JSON). The Web UI also gives you the ability to configure your Ai-Thinker RGBW Light remotely. You can easily change your WiFi settings or the configuration of your MQTT broker.

• REST API
• MQTT Last Will and Testament enabled
• Support for Home Assistant's MQTT Discovery
• Support for Over The Air (OTA) firmware updates
• Preserve light settings and configuration after power cycle or restart
• Perform remote restart using the built-in HTML UI.
• Reset to factory defaults using the built-in HTML UI (* 'factory' here means the default settings of the AiLight firmware upon compile time)

Making this firmware was largely inspired by the MY9291 LED driver and the Espurna firmware of Xose Pérez.
