Home assistant custom component to control C by GE smart light bulb locally via Bluetooth

hass-gelight

What is it

This Home assistant custome components works for C by GE Smart Lights. E.g. https://www.gelighting.com/smart-home/led-bulbs

Tested it on Soft white and tunable white bulbs. It may work on Full color. GE lights are inexpensive because the Smart light is not Smart enough... You are supposed to locally connect to the GE Mesh through Bluetooth. Only one device can connect. So you have to choose to between the GE app or Google home to control them.

This code use the Home Assistant as the Hub to control GE lights so all your smart devices could be used to connect to the light via the Hub.

Requirement:

• Install bluepy and dimond.

Note this might be done automatically by home assistant. The libraries are installed to ~/.homeassistant/deps/lib/python3.9/site-packages/. Bluepy had a bug in described in IanHarvey/bluepy#239 on aarch64. Please mannually fix it by applying the patch https://github.com/IanHarvey/bluepy/files/3800265/0001-Bugfix-of-high-CPU-usage.patch.txt to the file bluepy-helper.c and run make under the directory bluepy. Othewise, you might notice bluepy-helper use 100% CPU resources.

• Register a C by GE account and add your devices to C by GE app.
• Extract device info using steps from https://github.com/google/python-laurel.
  • Run python3 getconfig.py
  • Example output:

light:
  - platform: gelight
    password: %s
    username: %s
    lights:
      - id: %s
        mac: %s
        name: %s
        type:  17
      - id: %s
        mac: %s
        name: %s
        type:  20

• paste the output to configuration.yaml.

Optional Requirement:

• Circadian Lighting https://github.com/claytonjn/hass-circadian_lighting

hass-gelight's Issues

directions to install bluepy and diamond?

I am trying to follow this guide but I am unable to figure out how to install bluepy and diamond. I am running Hassio on a pi3b+. It appears python isn't available to the system but I'm not 100% sure.

Not working in Home Assistant v2022.7+

Since bluepy can only be installed for python versions lower than 3.10, this component isn't supported in the newer versions of home assistant.

Has anyone tried to change the library from bluepy to anything else such as bleak?

Line 159 Is Looking for hs_color, but is receiving rgb_color

I have this spun up in a temporary setup, so this issue is separate from the other that I've posted

I get the following error thrown

ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant] Error doing job: Task exception was never retrieved
Traceback (most recent call last):

    return tuple(self.red,self.green,self.blue)
TypeError: tuple expected at most 1 argument, got 3

From what I can tell it is looking for hs_color which would be hue & saturation, but it is receiving rgb

There is color_RGB_to_hs available in color.py from homeassistant, but I am not sure how to modify the gelight script to look use this

Access token expired in get_config.py

I get the access token, refresh token, user id output after email 2fa but, when it goes to retrieve devices it always returns 403: access token expired.

➜  gelight git:(master) ✗ python3 get_config.py
Refresh token (if available):
`user_id` (if available):
Enable debug output? (y/N):

DBG>>> devices = {'msg': 'Access Token Expired', 'code': 4031021, 'data': None, 'error': {'msg': 'Access Token Expired', 'code': 4031021}, 'status': 403}

Any ideas?

Unable to use lightbulb in automations

I cannot use the bulb in any automations because it "does not have a unique ID." Is there a way to specify the entity_id in the configuration file so that automations can be run against the device? The error text points to this documentation.

Doesn't work for new Cync accounts

Cync accounts need 2fa, which hasn't been implemented here yet. Either it should support 2fa, or accept tokens obtainable from https://github.com/unixpickle/cbyge.

Unable to Control Multiple Devices Consistently

Individual control of lamps works great after your recent update.

However when I try to control my group of lamps (total 6) not all of the lamps receive commands. It seems 1-3 of the lamps react when controlled as a group

I'd be happy to provide whatever info you'd like, although nothing appears 'wrong' in the debug logs.
