Ok here’s an update…
I tried changing some of the things parameters
If I change the driver parameter from FADING to CLASSIC the things state changes from ONLINE to ERROR: CONFIG.
while driver is set to FADING, changing the protocol parameter has no effect. I can select LD382, LD382A or LD686 and my things stay ONLINE
I changed the pollingPeriod parameter from 3000s to 30s - things are ONLINE but not controlable
Also tried changing the used port… this is really silly - I can use any port and things stay ONLINE
So maybe I need the right port number to control the bulbs - maybe it’s a good idea to let mainUI search for new wifiLED things and sniff their data to see if it differs to my textual config…
any other ideas are welcome
EDIT: the Wifi LED binding scan discovers no bulbs at all… so my plan to sniff the autodetected settings is not possible.
