I have exactly the same setup with the ibox2 but itĀ“s still not working, even if i install the newest version 2.1.
With the mobile milight app itĀ“s no problem, and i also see the milight bridge online and in paper ui its also recognizing the zones and all online - but nothing happens whenn i switch on the light or changing the color - i dunno what iĀ“m doing wrong.
Only thing which looks strange to me that he shows the milight box in v2 compatibility mode. IĀ“m using RGBW 6w Bulbs.
Would be awesome if u have a hint for me what the problem could be.
Cheers & Thanks for the great work on this binding!

EDIT: I also add the bridge manually - after that itĀ“s detecting all the zones automatically in the inbox.
i can tell you what i did:
-
i installed the openhab snapshot release like described here : http://docs.openhab.org/installation/linux.html#package-repository-installation
-
then installed the milight 2.1 binding from paper ui
-
went to inbox and clicked the discovery button
-
then in new newly poped-up window i clicked on milight binding
-
the bridge appeared:
- i added it as thing
- all the nice items apeared in the inbox :
- then selected RGBWW ( Zone 3) ---- Add as thing
- next go to Configuration -> Things and click on Rgbww Color (Zone 3) or the zone you want
- afterwards link it to items and go to control and you can controll it.
Ah man - great - thanks for your explanation!
I think i didnt get it that i also have to install the new openhab version - i just installed the new 2.1 milight binding on openhab 2.0!
will install and think that iĀ“m also able to do it afterwards! Thanks a lot! you guys rock!
cheers,
Gero
now you made me curious when i tried to install the binding on the official release from openhab 2 in the binding tab it would only show only 1,9.0 and 2.0 . how did you install 2.1? does anybody know this? Is there a way of installing binding other than the paper ui ? (sorry for the noob question)
i just put the file manually in the addons folder via samba filetransfer on mac - after restarting oh2 i was able to access it and search with the milight binding in the inbox.
downloaded the jar file from here:
http://oss.jfrog.org/oss-snapshot-local/org/openhab/binding/org.openhab.binding.milight/2.1.0-SNAPSHOT/
i dunno if its the correct way to do it 
FYI
I just installed the snapshot version of OH. And now its working with milight!!!
only thing which is not controllable is: the nightmode, animation speed. But its ok 4 me.
Thanks a lot!

Same here! Nightmode and Animation Speed are not working. Nightmode is not important for me -i create my own āCinema Modeā which dimm the light to 25% with one button press.
But to get a working Animation speed would be great because the Rainbow animation i to fast for me and i want it to set a bit slower. Is there any solution? @David_Graeff & @Adi_Vacaru?
Yes nightmode is not really important for OH users, as we have rules etcā¦
ItĀ“s really cute to dim the lights with the rule by pressing play on chromecast. But at this moment itĀ“s not recognizing the āplay pressā when you press it at the app which you are using for casting, just directly by pressing play in OH.
Dunno if there is any workaround for this, to transmit the play button press from other apps. But this is the wrong thread for this topic 
i think
Next step for me with the working milight binding will be kind of an automatic scene realization like sunrise emulation and so on.
I have know David may know as i think he is doing the development. Iām just a user that got things to work.
Ok, I guessed you had already create a functional thing or item for Animation Speed.
So we must wait till @David_Graeff has time to write
Switch Wohnzimmerlicht
"Wohnzimmerbeleuchtung"
[ "Lighting"]
{ channel="milight:rgbwLed:F0FE6B2DC252:1:ledbrightness"}
Not working anymore with ledbrightness. Iām using the latest unstable version.
Maybe you should try it with:
Dimmer Wohnzimmerlicht "Wohnzimmerbeleuchtung" [ "Lightning" ] { channel="milight:rgbwLed:F0FE6B2DC252:1:ledbrightness"}```
Switch is only for On/Off. I hope I'm right :wink:Thatās true. Switch is only for on/off and at the moment, iām not able to switch the light on or off, because thereās no switch.
The binding code didnāt change since January, at least it wasnāt changed by me, the author. openHab might be more restrictive now and doesnāt allow switches for ranged values. You can bind a switch to the on/off channel though. And I recommend to use the paperui for configuration.
Cheers,
David
Removed all items in .items file and added a switch over paperui, but without any success.
EDIT: Using Basicui instead of paperui to watch my switches, everything is fine. Maybe there was an update for paperui?
Does anyone know who to set the repeating of commands when the bridge is defined in the things file (not PaperUI)? I used:
Bridge milight:bridgeV3:CBBF12285DF8 [ ADDR=ā10.0.0.121ā, ID="CBBF12285DF8 " , REPEAT=ā2ā, WAIT_BETWEEN_COMMANDS=ā200ā] {
Thing rgbLed 1
Thing rgbLed 2
Thing rgbLed 3
Thing rgbLed 4
}
The lights work, but not always reliably. Linuxās tcpdump (also shows UDP traffic) only shows one packet being sent for each command. thanks
Will the 2.2 version support the old rgb (just rgb) bulbs with ibox2? I have this setup and would like to use it with openhab.
I am busy with the MQTT implementation at the moment, so donāt work on Milight. Everyone is invited to submit a pullrequest on github to add this.
Cheers, David
Hello community,
With the last snapshot build of Openhab, the nightmode/animation mode of my milights suddenly stop working after months of perfect service.
I just noticed I canāt link thoses channels to items anymore in paperui and the type arenāt displayed on thoses. (like switch or dimmerā¦).
The ātypeā select box is also empty when I tried to create an item with the channel.
Does it have some recents change in openhab core related to that ? Does someone know how to fix that please ?
Thanks you.
