Finally got a chance to start playing around with the plugin and the Magic LED device. This will make for a nice way to integrate LED strip lighting at a fraction of the cost of a Z-Wave controller. A Fibaro RGBW was around US$50 and I got the Magic Home device off eBay for US$10 shipped. It shows on Amazon Prime for me at US$13.
Setting it up was a breeze, but required the Magic Home app for iPhone in order to set the WiFI preferences to my network. Once included, it was easy to set the plugin to attach to the device. What does work is fast and reliable, but as others have said, there's a few things that are not fully implemented yet in the code (v0.0.1):
- The setBrightness function is not implemented.
- There are a couple of callbacks in the Action Item that aren't implemented.
Here is my testbed using an RGBW strip (hence the unused W wire). Note also that the R and G channels on this strip are flipped; so ignore that bit. I don't have time to dive into the code right now, but if I find the time, I'll see what I can do and send a PR.
