Quick questions b4 releasing an Hass Blueprint for Milight
First congratulations for this amazing project: I (and I shoud not be alone) was looking, since a very long time, for a way to control RGB lights (including color and brightess) from hardware remotes or switches. Thanks to your project, this now a breeze! 👍
I'm gonna soon release a BluePrint to ease controlling ANY (RGB) light , using milight remote(s). It is almost finished, but I miss some information to finish it:
- device_id (in the MQTT topic): is this a unique ID ? I mean:
- 2 remotes of the same model will each publish a unique ID (device_id=Serial Number ID)?
- 2 remotes of the same model will each publish the same ID (device_id=Model ID) ?
.
- "Speed Up" & "Speed Down" buttons: I can see them in the sniffer, but they are currently NOT present in the published state MQTT topic. I saw in an old issue, that someone asked it to be implemented in the MQTT payload, under "command", and that you've released it in v1.41. Is this a bug? Can we get it again? (tested in version 1.13.0)
.
- Sometimes (i can not systematically reproduce it), the brightness parameter is not included in the MQTT payload. Is this a bug or a feature?
BTW: (Using default config) I get all MQTT message under a /milight/state/ topic, and not under a /milight/states/ topic. I guess this has changed in a recent version. Would you mind if I post a PR to fix all these texts ?
Also, I can confirm that the Milight B05 remote (wall switch) works like a charms with your software. Would you mind if I include it the supported device table ?
