A WIP project to build a bridge for including CasaLux branded LED Panels that were sold by ALDI Süd (Germany) some time around 2021 (Example) into Homeassistant.
Because they hang everywhere in the house I rent and I don't want to modify anything about the hardware but still be able to remotely control them.
It seems like the units use a 2.4GHz Remote that works very close to the Milight Protocol that was already reverse engineered, however they use another IC for the RF transmission.
The silkscreen on the chip is etched off, however it seems to be a LT89XX by NST Tech. The chip is pretty confidently identified by the initialisation sequence that basically matches the datasheet reccommendations bit-by-bit for all of the 20-or-so registers.
Step | Progress | Note |
---|---|---|
Reverse Engineering the Hardware | 100 % | |
Reverse Engineering the Protocol | 90 % | POC is missing |
Library for ESP8266 / ESP32 | 0% | |
Hardware for Bridge | 0% | |
Firmware for Bridge | 0% | Maybe the exitsing hub project can be adapted |
Home Assistant integration | 0% | Should not be necessary if the milight hub can be adapted |
