Feature Request: Custom device images

Open ellnic opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

As the title says, it would be great to have the ability to use a custom device images. I am building an IP54 light out of Innr LEDs so the image will be incorrect.

Details if anyone is interested: I was extremely disappointed with the Hue Struana light, not only because its only IPX4 but because it's only white (so no red light walkway to the bathroom in the night) and it's also pretty damn expensive... it's just a strip of their own LED lights in there and you cannot install in Zone 1 in the UK... great. If you deduct the £17 dimmer that comes with it, the price becomes about £123.. for a white light. So I hopped on the Z2M docs and found Innr and Ajax make compatible LED strips, but Innr sell a kit with a transformer instead of a plug. On Amazon I found an IP54 enclosure that can be opened and gutted (made by Teckin) and is perfect to fit the Innr components in. A £6 Ikea dimmer will make it an equivalent kit. Total price: ~£96, not £140 and it does colour :) You'll have a ton of LEDs left over from the kit too, so buy another driver and you've got some for somewhere else.
