mi-lights

I have been researching a way to drive an RGB strip at a place in the house where I only have 1 connection of 24v (was planed to have only white LED). I found the mi-light system, but I am unsure if the LM does support it in any way?

Unfortunately, nearly all manufacturers of WiFi or BLE lights don't publish any protocol specs so you are forced to use their own apps.

There are some nodejs/pythong bindings for milight which you can use to implement it in your LM:

Dear all,
have you any updated about it? I would like to install milight for a customer of mine.

How can I procede with command "$ npm install milight"?

Thanks.

Unfortunately, you can't. Npm requires nodejs which is not present on LM. Milight JS code looks simple enough to rewrite it in Lua.

So, as some time has passed I found a post for someone using a NRF24L01 2.4GHz wireless radio transceiver module with a Raspi. https://www.raspberrypi.org/magpi/pi-mi-light/

Any chance that the librf24-bcm code could be used with the reactor?

No, the library is specifi for RPi and the transceiver is connected via SPI bus which is not populated on Reactor.

Why don't you use Z-Wave RGB controller?  I didn't try but it should work.
