Playbulb candle light

Hi, I just buy this:

And I want to control it with openhab. I found a guy who sniff The Bluetooth signal and control them in Linux command line but i’m on mac…

It would je realy cool to make something compatible with openhab

Hi Dominic,

I wanted to thanks you for bringing the Playbulb Candles to my attention through your post. I ordered some and really like them as additional mood lights in my rooms. I’m running openHAB on a Raspberry Pi and it was easy to incorporate the Playbulb Candles into openHAB with the link you provided and also

I’m using gatttool on the Raspberry and the exec binding to send commands like

gatttool -b AC:E6:4B:06:2C:55 --char-write -a 0x0016 -n 0000ff00

to control the candles.

Unfortunately I don’t know the according macOS utility/commands for sending these, but it should be possible.

All the best.

Hi,

I’m one of the maintainers of the above mentioned Github repo.
Currently using the Candle and Rainbow from Playbulb.
I will try to make this into a OH binding, but I have never done this before.
