Revival of the Barco Strips :-)
Select mode using the rotary switch on the controller and plug in.
| Mode | Function |
|---|---|
| 0 | Test Pattern |
| 1 | Connect to MQTT broker as RGB Light |
| 2-F | Unused |
Shows a Test pattern with white LEDs in a brightness gradient.
Connects to a MQTT Broker over WiFi at homeassistant.local using the credentials barco:barco using the homeassistant autoconfiguration protocol.
The device is automatically detected as a color light if homeassistant is set up with the MQTT extension and a broker addon.
This works by publishing the topic homeassistant/light/rebarco_rgb_light/<MAC>/config with the following content:
{"name": "ReBarco RGB Light <SHORT MAC>","unique_id": "rebarco_rgb_light_<SHORT MAC>","command_topic": "rebarco/<MAC>/set","state_topic": "rebarco/<MAC>/state","schema": "json","rgb": true,"brightness": true}
The state of the device is published on the topic rebarco/<MAC>/state:
{"state":"ON", "brightness":255, "color":{"r":255,"g":0,"b":174}}
The device can be controlled by publishing on the topic rebarco/<MAC>/set:
{"state":"ON", "brightness":255, "color":{"r":255,"g":12,"b":36}}
Attention: If you got your Barco Strip as a gift it probably tries to connect to Dan's WiFi and won't connect to yours. Entering your WiFi credentials and re-building the firmware is left as an excersise to the reader :-)
Reserved for future use.
- Improve code architecture and style. Current state was hacked in two evenings.
- Implement the "old" UDP protocol (maybe using WiFi multicast) to support the existing programs. Parts of the rotary switch could be used as an address to use multiple strips.
- Better WiFi provisioning on runtime.
- Zigbee/Thread Light
