No problem. I figured as much. I know you’re on the road a lot.
Alright, I took the weekend and created a new version which mainly fixes discovery bugs. I bought some more devices and figured out that the first device which ends up in “unknown type id” actually stopped the discovery, therefore the order in which the devices were registered mattered.
I also added support for the Lightify power socket, which made me change a little bit more code (stupid me in the first place 
)
I’m on the road the next 3 weeks again but there’s an update uploaded to the known dropbox location. If you update, you’d better keep a backup of the old JAR, just in case.
For packet captures, we (or @arusa) came up with a better idea (at least for openHAB <-> gateway). Are you familiar with tcpdump?
Thanks. I was actually wondering about using tcpdump or wireshark to supply you with raw network traffic. I’ve never used tcpdump, but I’ll give it a try today.
Here’s the output from tcpdump. The only thing I did during this time is switch a RGBW recessed light on and off, at least I tried to switch it on and off, it wasn’t responding. Those commands are in the traffic, with what appears to be other commands. I noticed traffic while I wasn’t doing anything.
10.1.10.106 is my gateway and 10.1.10.103 is my raspberrypi. I tried to make sense out of the traffic, but gave up. According to the documentation, the first few bytes (4500 0028) mean that data is 45 bytes long, and the command is 28, set device name? And then I see some other command IDs like 40, 48, 41, and 3c that aren’t listed, so I must be reading this wrong.
Anyways, here you go. Let me know if you need me to do anything differently.

The Lightify Pro PBC has the quite unique ability to let you integrate legacy devices, blending “cool” with “traditional”. You can connect up to 4 light switches or push buttons, and translate their actions to ZigBee. It is small enough that it can be placed wherever there were relays, etc.
With a box like this, you could:
- Use a push-button, with the short press to switch a light on/off (legacy “relay” mode), and long presses to dim, etc.
- Reuse a legacy light switch, using any change of state (from on to off, or from off to on) as if it were a push-button action
- Act on presses from multiple buttons to change scenes (e.g. press two buttons = all 10 lights on/off)
- Use Up/Down button as an alternative way to control dimming
A lot of the traffic is the mDNS request to discover lightify gateways. So nothing to worry about. I normally filter it out in my wireshark scans, since by now I have started to build a lua dissector to dissect the packets right inside of wireshark.
I’m just home for a few hours, so looking at your dump will take a bit more. It would also be great if you could just dump the tcpdump logging into a pcap file which can be directly loaded into wireshark 
If a few more commands are implemented, I’m also happy to share the dissector which makes it easier for everyone to help out.
I’m happy to support Lightify Pro but I don’t have any hardware. At the moment reverse engineering of the native protocol is already a lot of work but I’m glad for every piece of help in form of pull requests to the protocol, help with the openHAB binding or just zigbee compatible hardware (OSRAM or others), to support as much as possible
Here you go. In this capture, I added two RGBW lights and then turned one on and off about a dozen times. It worked for the first 3-4 times and then did not respond for the rest.
https://box.com/shared/static/9hopvxww8ctqqwms32576r5u3gvq7hg3.pcap
Have you had a chance to review the pcap file I provided, or If not, can you post a copy of the dissector either on here or in the git repo and I’ll take a stab at my network traffic?
Just curious to why you look at wireshark scans to figure out communication rather than using to public API?
Last time I checked, the API only worked through the osram cloud and not directly with the bridge, so if your internet connection goes down, your lights stop working and there’s also a slight delay which is annoying when you’re trying to combine motion sensors with lights.
Has the API changed to allow local mode?
Nope, it has not. And there is the reason
There is no reason, and yes that is exactly the reason. I don’t like the idea to send this through the cloud based API. The second reason is that I like to reverse engineer protocols. Unfortunately it is time consuming.
If you like to have a cloud API based implementation, I guess there’s a meaning for that, I just don’t like the idea
I got the new implementation already. It is much more reliable right now, before I only owned one bulb and everything worked fine until you have more than one. I just want to make sure color and stuff is working nicely again before I put a new version online. I also talked to @Kai and we definitely want to get a Lightify integration version into openHab 2.1.
That’s a bummer. I was hoping you were going to say otherwise because using a published API would be the way to go. I dug through their sample code and found the following in appconfig.yaml
PRODUCTION-EU : "https://eu.lightify-api.org/lightify/services"
PRODUCTION-US : "https://us.lightify-api.org/lightify/services"
UAT : "https://192.168.0.100:8443"
DEVELOPMENT : "http://localhost:8080/lightify/services"
Both UAT and DEVELOPMENT are local network addresses, but I think that’s in there for testing over at OSRAM. I did NOT confirm this by changing the address to the IP of my bridge.
Btw here is the LUA based dissector for Wireshark, hope it helps you a bit. Feel free to extend it and send in pull request: https://github.com/noctarius/lightify-binary-protocol/blob/master/osram-lightify.lua

Hi Noctarius, amazing! Downloaded, copied to addons and wham! the osram gateway was instantly found in the inbox! Thank you so much for this awesome binding.
Noctarius, thanks for all the hard work. I was wondering if you have updated the code in github yet. I have quite of few of the OSRAM lights and would like to try it out. I’ll be glad to help with any network captures for any device you don’t have access to if you’ll post the code or the JAR. Thanks.
Hi Noctarius,
After i used this binding for 2 weeks, i noticed that it makes the openhab sluggish and unresponsive. For example, turning on/off light switches sometimes takes several seconds to react or they dont react at all. I tried it twice on a fresh OH2 install from the image file. And both of the times i had the same after a few days (or maybe even few hours).
Have you noticed the same behavior or is this all a local issue i have with my setup?
Thanks.
Emre
Hey Emre,
No unfortunately I have the same behavior and it became worse with the last gateway update. Yesterday I had a few minutes to deactivate the auto-status-update polling and it seems to work, which would most possibly mean, that I overload the gateway with just a few requests every 5 seconds. I hope to get some better picture tonight, when I need to use it again to switch on / off lights.
I’ll probably go ahead and let it be deactivated for now until I have a better solution (when it actually works tonight). I’ll keep you updated.

PS: to all, sorry for being so unresponsive at the moment, been traveling most of the time and that means, not at home, no chance to work on the binding
