Python control for Mipow smart LED bulbs

This is a simple python API for Mipow COMET Bluetooth LE led stripes It is based on the work by amahlaka https://github.com/amahlaka/python-mipow His work is based on the work by Matthew Garret on python-zengge

Requirements

Install bluepy pip3 install bluepy pip install bluepy If you have problems with the bluepy-helper, take a look at this: http://installfights.blogspot.ch/2016/10/how-to-control-magicblue-led-bulb-with.html

Example use

This will connect and set the bulb to full red, no green and no blue.

import mipow

bulb = mipow.mipow("00:21:4d:00:00:01")
bulb.connect()
bulb.set_rgb(255, 0, 0)

This will set the intensity of the warm white LEDs to 50%

bulb.set_white(0x80)

This will turn on the white LEDs at the same time as the colour LEDs (note that this may result in a small quantity of flickering during colour changes)

bulb.set_rgbw(255, 255, 100, 255)

This will turn the bulb on

bulb.on()

This will turn the bulb off

bulb.off()

Get a list of the current red, green and blue values

(red, green, blue) = bulb.get_colour()

Get the current white intensity

white = bulb.get_white()

Get aboolean describing whether the bulb is on or off

on = bulb.get_on()

Notes

Note that this has been written against a specific bulb, and may misbehave on some other bulbs that speak a similar protocol. Please get in touch if you have a bulb that partially works with this code.
