In the function rgbwSetColorToWhite() it should be getActiveRgbwGroup() instead of getActiveGroup(), because the function getActiveGroup() does not exist.

Hi there,

does this api support bridge v6 and the upcoming v7? Will there be a new api supporting the new v7-features?

Regards

I'd like to know what's the current status of this project. s it still being developed? Will it work with the actual Milight hardware?

Hi!

It's not an issue, but rather I want to say a big Thank You! :)

I have bought couple of Easybulb rgbw bulbs a half a year ago and I didn't know to to communicate with them. All I wanted to do is:

• turn them on at a specified time via cron on OpenWRT (since this Linux flavor is always running inside the network), since the inbuilt scheduling feature was buggy (let's say unreliable) in the android app.

I couldn't do so far, until I've found your code :) :

• there's an API on their website (http://easybulb.com/api/) , but didn't work at all
• their app using internet as well (but what happens if something wrong with the connection?), and feature was buggy
• tried to contact with the company couple of times, but I didn't get any answer back

Based on your API, here's a simple script on OpenWRT Chaos Chalmer, called e.g. manageEasybulb.sh, what we can use in cron (maybe it will be useful for somebody else as well):

#!/bin/sh
# required packages: netcat coreutils coreutils-sleep

rgbwGroup1On='\x45\x00'
rgbwBrightness80='\x4e\x16'
rgbwSetColorToYellowOrange='\x40\x90'
# last byte is always \x55, will be appended to all commands
lastByte='\x55'

HOST='192.168.10.50'
PORT='8899'

sendCommand() {
    # nc switches: -n: don't resolve dns , -u: use udp , -c: terminate after execution
    printf "$1$lastByte" | /usr/bin/nc -n -u -c "$HOST" "$PORT"
    /usr/bin/sleep 0.3
}

turnOnG1YellowOrange80() {
    sendCommand $rgbwGroup1On
    sendCommand $rgbwSetColorToYellowOrange
    sendCommand $rgbwBrightness80
}

turnOnG1YellowOrange80

Thanks for the library! I was about to write one myself, so this is going to save me a ton of work.

I'm creating a web page (hosted via Apache on OS X on my LAN) to control my home lights (among other home theater-related stuff). The Milight package works well when I use the bridge's IP address, but when I tried to use the LAN broadcast address (255.255.255.255), I get the following error:

Warning: socket_sendto(): unable to write to socket [13]: Permission denied in blah/Milight.php on line 201

I tried to add a line like this after the socket is created and before the message is sent, but it didn't help:

socket_set_option($socket, SOL_SOCKET, SO_BROADCAST, 1);

I'm a novice PHP user (my day job is .NET development), so I'm not sure if this is a gap in the Milight code or some obscure security issue with PHP and Apache.

Connecting directly to the bridge is fine, but I thought it might be a bit faster to broadcast.

Not a bug, but just wondering if you still have a copy of the firmware for the update? I would like to update my bridge to the latest version (cant find it anywhere else!)

Thanks :)
