ioBroker.mystrom-wifi-bulb

What it is

This is an adaptor to connect MyStrom Wifi Bulbs with the ioBroker home automation system. These are light bulbs with an integrated webserver and a REST-API to program colors, brightness, and turn on and off.

Hardware installation

When first switched on, the bulb goes in WPS mode for 3 minutes. If you activate your router's WPS within this time span, the bulb will appear in the router's client list. Consult the bulb's documentation for more informations.

Software Installation

Prerequisites

• A working instance of ioBroker. If you only want a quick test-install, I recommend using docker:
  docker run -p 8081:8081 -p 8087:8087 -p 8082:8082 --name iobroker -v iobrokerdata:/opt/iobroker buanet/iobroker:latest

• At least the adapter "Simple RESTful API" must be installed in the ioBroker instance.

• The MyStrom-Wifi-Bulb should already be active and integrated in the Network.

Fetch and install ioBroker.mystrom-wifi-bulb

This adapter is not part of the official ioBroker distribution. So it will not show up in ioBroker admin's adapter list. You can install it either directly from NPM:

or as a custom adapter from the admin-ui:

Make sure to select "Beliebig" even though it's situated on Github:

Find out the release you're interested in: https://github.com/rgwch/ioBroker.mystrom-wifi-bulb/releases and copy/paste the address of the .tar.gz link.

Read the warning and click "install" if you agree.

The adapter should then be in the admin pages's list:

Click on the three dots near the right upper corner and then on the + sign in the lower left corner to create a new instance. You need a separate instance for each MyStrom Wifi Bulb in your Home.

The configuration dialog should open after successful creation of the instance.

Insert the IP Address of the bulb on the left side. Since the bulb need a callback to notify about changes, you need also to indicate the address of the ioBroker server and the port you've set when configuring the "Simple RESTful" Adapter. By default, that's 8087. The symbolic network name of the ioBroker Server, e.g. http://homecontrol.local:8087 will probably not work, so better find out the IP address, e.g. in the router's network list (And while you're there, you'll probably want to instruct the DHCP server to always give the same address to the Dingz and to the ioBroker server.)

After clicking save and close, the instance should appear and turn "green" after a short while.

Use

The MyStrom-Wifi-Bulb adapter No. X (starting with 0) will create the following ioBroker states:

• mystrom-wifi-bulb.X.on (read/write: switch on/off)
• mystrom-wifi-bulb.X.ramp (read/write: duration of switching in ms)
• mystrom-wifi.bulb.X.mode (read only: rgb, hsv or mono)
• mystrom-wifi.bulb.X.color (read only: color values, depending of mode)
• mystron-wifi-bulb.X.power (read only: Power consumption of the bulb in Watt)

Note: This version of the adapter is not able to switch colors and color modes programmatically. Any hints on how to do that are welcome :-)

Use the states in ioBroker scripting or VIS UI Design

Example:

const bulb1="mystrom-wifi-bulb.0.on"
const pir="hm-rcp-pir.0.activated"

// Light on for 2 Minutes if infrared sensor is activated
on({id: pir},()=>{
  setState(bulb1,true)
  setTimeout(()=>{
    setState(bulb1,false)
  },120000)
})
