A simple Python API for controlling LED bulbs compatible with the Zengge protocol. This covers a wide range of bulbs, including the Flux Bluetooth bulbs.
This will connect and set the bulb to full red, no green and no blue.
import zengge
bulb = zengge.zengge("00:21:4d:00:00:01")
bulb.connect()
bulb.set_rgb(0xff, 0x00, 0x00)
This will set the intensity of the warm white LEDs to 50%
bulb.set_white(0x80)
This will turn on the white LEDs at the same time as the colour LEDs (note that this may result in a small quantity of flickering during colour changes)
bulb.set_rgbw(0xff, 0x80, 0x10, 0xff)
This will turn the bulb on
bulb.on()
This will turn the bulb off
bulb.off()
Get a list of the current red, green and blue values
(red, green, blue) = bulb.get_colour()
Get the current white intensity
white = bulb.get_white()
Get aboolean describing whether the bulb is on or off
on = bulb.get_on()
Note that this has been written against a specific bulb, and may misbehave on some other bulbs that speak a similar protocol. Please get in touch if you have a bulb that partially works with this code.
The set_rgbw() mode appears to bypass a great deal of the bulb's normal functionality - for instance, turning the bulb off and then on will not restore the state programmed by set_rgbw(). Further, calling set_rgbw() while the bulb is still fading up from an on() command will not have the desired effect.
