Three of us at work have installed OpenHAB are using it to control our LimitlessLED globes, amongst other things, and it’s great. We are all experiencing a similar problem with the Milight binding globes dimming when the brightness of another channel is changed however.
For example, if I increase the brightness of the globes on bridge 1, channel 1, the globes on bridge 1, channel 2 will more than likely dim.
Things we have noticed are:
It only happens if the channels are on the same bridge. Changing the brightness of a channel on bridge 1 will never effect channels on bridge 2.
It only appears to happen with the dual white globes and not the RBG globes.
It happens even if a channel isn’t configured in OpenHAB. For example, if only channel 1 is defined in OpenHAB, the globes on channel 2 will still dim when channel 1 is changed.
We have tried the following versions of Openhab.
1.81
1.83
2.0
We have tried Ubuntu, Debian and Windows 7.
We are all using Oracle’s Java. I am currently using 1.8.0_101.
Has anyone else experienced this issue or have any suggestions about what we could try?
At first we suspected a possible hardware issue, but this appears to have been ruled out now that three of us are having the same problem with multiple bridges and globes.
rule "Light_FrontDoor_Outside_Brightness_ON"
when
Item Light_FrontDoor_Outside received command ON
then
sendCommand(Light_FrontDoor_OustideB, 100)
end
rule "Light_FrontDoor_Outside_OFF"
when
Item Light_FrontDoor_Outside received command OFF
then
sendCommand(Light_FrontDoor_OustideB, 0)
end
rule "Light_FrontDoor_Outside_OFF"
when
Item Light_FrontDoor_Outside received command OFF
then
sendCommand(Light_FrontDoor_OustideB, 0)
end
The globes on bridge 2, channel 2 dimmed and then turned off entirely, as they should have.
The globes on bridge 2, channel 1 also dimmed though. Down to about 20%. I can’t see why this happened.
Please find the debug log attached.

i guess I found the Problem, but can fix it earliest after 9/26 as I am on holiday.
Just to proof, this only happens when sending a decrease command, right?
