homeassistant-beken

  • a simple homeassistant plugin that allows the control of a bulb that goes by many names:
    • Shada Led's light
    • iLedBulb
    • Beken LED
  • here's the bluetooth protocol definition.
  • sort of stable

configuration

  1. Pair the lamp using bluetoothctl (or similar) on the device running homeassistant
  2. Add to configuration.yaml (address is the bluetooth mac address which is shown in bluetoothctl): 
    light:
  - platform: beken
    name: "human readable name"
    address: "XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX"

The following command was in a separate file, I don't remember if it was a temporary fix or is still required: sudo setcap 'cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin+eip' venv/lib/python..../site-packages/bluepy/bluepy-helper
