Milight LED and LED Strip - Alpha Testers Wanted


ericscales

Recommended Posts

I have a driver ready for testing for Milight LED bulbs and strips.  Essentially, it will work for any light that works with the Milight Wifi gateway.  Some examples are:

 

I've long wanted to replace my under cabinet lighting with LEDs and also thought it would be cool to have light strips in certain areas like in bookshelves, etc.  I hate IR and finally found a solution that works using the Milight Wifi Controller (http://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/controllers/ldrf-tc4-wifi-led-controller-wifi-hub/1444/3367/)

 

In my testing with light strips (I purchased through superbrightleds), the driver works and controls on/off, light level (brightness), light color and disco modes.  It acts as a regular light driver in C4 with button bindings and all that.

 

Let me know if anyone would like to alpha test.  Once alpha is complete, I will post a beta for all to test.

 

Info on hardware needed:

Essentially, the wires from the LED strip plug into the RGBW multi-zone controller (which is powered by a 12V to 24V source - it has inputs to wire this in direct and it has an input for an AC to DC adapter.  Then the Wifi controller talks to the multi-zone controller to control the lights.

 

If using bulbs such as Milight bulbs, Limitlessled bulbs, or Easybulb you just need the Wifi controller box.

I have new LED strip lights in my theater room, and i was looking to control them IR.  Only because that is the only way i knew to control them.  What all would i need to make this driver work?  Will any lights work with the Wifi hub?  I am very interested in this, just not sure what hardware i will need to make this work.

Sure thing.  Do you have a link of the LED strip lights you have now?  If so, I'm happy to check for you.   Here's what I'm currently testing with:
