Have you setup a persistence file for the broker?
There was a bug in the persistence configuration for Moquette. That is fixed in openHAB master only (we do not have snapshots at the moment).
If persistence was not setup or working it would stop auto detecting and adding the globes for you. If you setup with manual textual config it would then work and could be why the other user reported that it was working. I find textual to be far quicker when setting up 20+ globes all similar and I also get to use nice short friendly names. Having a list of the remote codes is also handy for when the globes become unsynced.

New build 2019-04-11 has these changes:
- New ability to auto setup the esp8266 settings to eliminate issues from people not following long setup instructions carefully. Just provide the
HUB_IPand the binding will take care of a lot of the setup. If you protect the hubs setup with a user:password this feature will not work. - Fixed bug where any config settings changed were not used until a reboot or binding restart was completed.

Hi Matt, now using 2019-04-11 and didn’t worry about the HUB_IP since I have it setup fine. openHAB complained though with this log msg:
[INFO ] [b.handler.EspMilightHubBridgeHandler] - No HUB_IP has been provided, binding can not auto setup the Hub for you.
So I added HUB_IP=“192.168.0.200” to my things config, a few things, is this the correct format or should I add “tcp:\\” to the start ?
You have done it correctly. It is worth doing as people in the past have missed ticking one little thing and not known the binding was not fully working due to that.

I have some issues with addressing my lights through groups. I can switch them ON/OFF, but changing the color temperature or brightness gives me problems. On my sitemap I see all the sliders from single lights jump all around when I use the group switch, and they never settle at the position where I set them.

My hardware setup:
2x hub, 1 at the groundfloor, 1 at the attic. 1 hub isn’t enough to reach all lights reliable. The both run the 1.9.0-rc3 firmware. They both use the same topic pattern (milight/commands/:device_id/:device_type/:group_id) and state topic pattern (milight/states/:device_id/:device_type/:group_id).
So what is happening? Why is my colourtemperature changed when I change the lights level?
Not sure I can help unless you post what you set the group slider to and what exactly happens to the controls in openhab compared to the mqtt messages.
If they are only 1 value different that can happen due to rounding errors when converting from 256 values to 100 steps.
Hi Matt, I recently updated my nodeMCU to 1.9.0-rc2, I like the static ip stuff but my control now seems haphazard, it only works occasionally and even then it seems sluggish. Used to work like lightning (no pun). The addon version is 2019-04-11 btw. Any idea why either of these would cause the slow-down or the best way to resolve it ? Many thanks in advance.
OK, at this point all lights have different light levels. I set the groundfloor group light level (gBeganeGrondLightsLevel) to 88%. This then sets the different rooms at the ground level also to 88%, which in turn sets the individual lights to 88%.
This allready partly fails, 1 room level (gHalLightsLevel) changes to UNDEF.
Item 'gHalLightsLevel' received command 88
gBeganeGrondLightsLevel changed from 88 to UNDEF through gHalLightsLevel
Where another group (gWoonkamerLightsLevel) changes it back to 88.
gBeganeGrondLightsLevel changed from UNDEF to 88 through gWoonkamerLightsLevel
Then out of nowhere 1 light (espmilighthub_rgb_cct_46a03e89_0x24_bulbmode) receives a bulbmode command to become white, which then sets the color temp for that light to 72. This works its way up to the groundfloor group temperature level (gBeganeGrondLightsTemp) and sets it to UNDEF.
Milight_ID0x2_G4_CTemp changed from 37 to 72
gBeganeGrondLightsTemp changed from 37 to UNDEF through Milight_ID0x2_G4_CTemp.
And then this goes on and on.
Could this be because all lights have a different level and all group items default to:
EQUALITY - Sets the state of the members if all have equal state. Otherwise UNDEF is set. In the Item DSL EQUALITY is the default and may be omitted.
If I understand this correctly, it is impossible to control a group if its members have different states?
This explains why setting the color temperature works correctly, since all light temperatures are in group gBeganeGrondLightsTemp. Where all light levels are in subgroups of gBeganeGrondLightsLevel (gKeukenLightsLevel, gWoonkamerLightsLevel, gHalLightsLevel, gToiletLightsLevel). As I don’t want different colortemperatures in my house, but I do want different light levels.
Is it possible to control the light levels per subgroup, but still have a group which can overrule the subgroups as needed?

Roll back and see if it is the firmware or the binding at fault. I am using 1.9.0 dev 7 here so am not using the latest firmware. Was anything else changed like an update to your mqtt broker?
Thanks Matt. Things I’ve tried so far, rolled back the binding to 2019-02-27, set power level to max, and both send/receive channels to high. Will try FW rollback later and let you know if that makes a difference.
Ok, rolled FW back to 1.9.0-dev7, seems a little more responsive. Then I relocated the antenna and that proved more useful. So tomorrow I’ll upgrade again and retry it in the new position.
It was the “The white colour temperature that you prefer when the light is dimmed all the way down. RGB_CCT and CCT globes only.”-option which was driving me crazy. With this disabled everything works as intended.
Well, I’m a damn idiot, upgraded to the latest versions of FW and binding again, put the antenna back in the orientation that works well and things are going fine. The antenna is basically in the same place when it was playing up, just a different orientation. Both the nodeMCU and NRF24L01 are wrapped in anti-stat packets until I get my 3d printer moving again and print a proper case to house them.
Sorry for the false report Matt, I was sure I used the same placement, though apparently not, and thought maybe a bug had crept in.
Since two people reported the same thing I am less likely to believe it was an antenna issue. Out of interest did you setup the hub and lights with PaperUI or with textual config? I have noticed that when I change the channels or the config parameters in a binding (like the latest binding version has done with HUB_IP) you can see wierd issues until the thing is deleted and re-added. When using textual config it works fine and never has an issue, it is only with PaperUI that this happens. Possibly this was the reason or it may have been a setting in the new firmware has issues.
BTW two comments:
This will only work for NRF boards that have the LNA and AMP added and also the fake NRF chips are known to have issues controlling the power amp level. Not sure what happens but I suspect you will change this setting and nothing will happen.
This was a feature I requested and have been hanging out for. I have not checked it out yet, but what I understand if you have two hubs, set one of them to HIGH and another to LOW (?) so they broadcast on different frequencies as the globes are channel hopping and will listen to the first hub they find.
Keen to hear how multiple hubs are working as I want to lower response times with them.
@stfn82
Great to hear you worked it out, if you find something confusing please give feedback and I can change the labelling and names of things to make it clearer what the options do. That setting is to make the lights emmulate old halogen globes that get warmer the more the dim the lights.
This is how I’ve set them up. Sometimes a light doesn’t get a signal, but that’s very minimal. I have to test this further.
Also the new option to set static IP addresses enhances the reachability. I don’t know why, but with all my esp8266 boards (Mostly ESPeasy, and a few Tasmota and espmilighthub) I had a lot of trouble to maintain the wifi connection. Setting a static IP address really helps. Also the new option in ESPeasy to force wifi to the G-band improves the connection a lot. I’m thinking of buying a seperate AP which runs in G mode, so all my other devices can connect to N en AC without being slowdown by the G-devices
Always use text config, don’t put much weight in gui tools in general.
Not sure if mine has that or not, it does use an SMA antenna, so I suppose it might need an amplifier to power that.
Forgot to add, why the antenna orientation issue makes a difference in my case.
I have it located on my tv base, when the antenna is parallel to the tv (essentially directly under it) I get poor performance. When it is 90deg to the tv it performs very well.
