Okay…I’m getting to my wits end here. I really hope someone can help me, or has any kind of clues of what I can try.
First of all, let me say that I’m the author of this integration: [RELEASE] New Milight / Easybulb / LimitlessLED integration
…and I know my way around writing arduino code. I don’t typically think of myself as a newbie, but I must be missing something simple, because this thing isn’t doing anything, and I haven’t seen a problem like this in the thread. I think it might be an electrical problem.
THE PROBLEM: No matter what I do, the lights never come on.
PARTS: H801 (tried three of them)
Meanwell 12V 10A power supply
32A RGBW repeater (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NOHZJZW/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
LEDMO SMD 2835 Warm White Strip, 9M (someone on Amazon claimed 2.85 amps/5M, and the repeater can handle 8A per channel).
Things that work:
- Using the original firmware, I can see the controller on my wifi network for one of the H801s.
- Using the new firmware, I can see the controller on my wifi netowrk on a different H801.
- Directly connecting the power supply to the lights causes the lights to come on fully.
- The red light on the controller and the repeater light up, and both read proper voltage on VCC.
Things that don’t:
- Using the original firmware, if I turn every channel to full, I see no voltage out on the multimeter on any of the channels (shouldn’t I)?
- Using the new firmware, if I turn every channel to full, I see no voltage on any of the channels.
- Using either H801 without the repeater does not cause lights to come on.
- Using either H801 with the repeater does not cause lights to come on.
Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do to solve this problem?
