Arilux SL-WB 01 E27 7 watt RGB led light : which binding to use?

[Walter1 (Walter)]

Dear community,

I have bought this led lamp (Arilux SL-WB 01 E27 7 watt RGB led light) to use in Openhab2 2.4 running on Windows 10. Installed the Wifi led binding but the lamp is not recognized. I do not have any experience yet with Wifi bindings (only installed Zwave so far). Don’t know if the WiFi lamp should show in the network as well among the other Wifi networks on my router. If so no lamps appear.

Would appreciate some help very much.

Regards
Walter

There is no binding: You will need the TUYA-MQTT bridge

Hello community, I spent the last few days searching through the forum to get some Tuya-Bulbs (they usually sell as “Smart life”) working in OH2. I noticed that it is hard for a beginner to get this done, because all information is spreaded in different threads and postings, so I decided to put it all together in a step-by-step walk through here. I also found a rather elegant way to get the essential Tuya parameters (Tuya ID and LocalKey) which I also want to share here. Furthermore, I found…

If it works with Tuya (e.g. Smart Life app), it should work with the tuya-mqtt-bridge mentioned above. Unfortunately there seems to be a issue with the bridge and the new 2.4 MQTT binding, so I suggest you start with the old 1.x binding. There is a guide how to find the credentials for Tuya and how to configure items with the 1.x binding here:

I was actually able to write a small patch to the tuya-mqtt library which AgentK has merged into his tree. If you are using the existing bindings it does not change current behavior, however, it now allows for sending to the command topic directly and acting on the message payload vs having to publish two different topics. This works perfectly with the OpenHAB 2.4 MQTT bindings, you simply set the topics as follows (using values from the examples in the original post): State Topic: tuya/ligh…
