Extra info for the Rainbow bulb

[Calimerorulez]

Hi!

Compliments on your research :-)

I opened this 'issue' to give you some extra info.

I just received my Kickstarter Playbulb Rainbow, and I tried to analyze the commands via the Android app and the btsnoop.log:

Format for the effects is: 0x0019 WWRRGGBBMM??SS?? where the questionmarks are still unknown to me, but MM is the effect mode (00 = Flash solid color, 01 = Pulse solid color, 02 = Rainbow, 03 = Rainbow with fading effect). SS is the speed, from 00 to ff.

For solid colors the command is: 0x001b WWRRGGBB

Because I borrowed the Android phone, I wasn't able to do more research, but it's a start :-)

Thanks for your research too.

Are the questionmarks always 0 ? Because on my Playbulb Candle the layout is the same
But as the handle seem to have changed we may need to split the document

Do you have access to a Linux system with a BT 4.0 dongle?
Then we could dump the handles and have a look.

[derchrisuk]

I added some info about the Rainbow LED in the protocols folder.
Thing is, I cannot confirm the handles you provided.
Actually, they don't even exist.
Have a look at the document, and let me know if this is what you have.
Otherwise I would like to get a characteristics dump from your LED.

Hi!
Thank for your research!
I just received my Playbulb Rainbow and tried to find out commands. I have the same commands as @Calimerorulez said. 0x001b - for color, and 0x0019 for effects.
@derchrisuk you said about dump on a Linux system. How can I make it?

For more documentation especially for Mipow Playbulb BTL201, you may want to go to https://github.com/Heckie75/Mipow-Playbulb-BTL201

I have investigated and written an API documentation. At this moment I am also implementing a (hopefully) full-featured shell script in order to control the Mipow playbulb.
