Additional integrations for Home Assistant

Mipow Playbulb integration

This component has been created to be used with Home Assistant (HA) 2022.9 and above.

It allows to integrate with MiPow Playbulbs - bluetooth, battery controlled LED candles.

Verified devices:

• BTL300
• BTL305ES
• BTL201
• As the MiPow protocol is used across other MiPow LED devices, the integration should also support those devices

Version 3.1.1

This version is not backward compatible with 2.x or 1.x. We recommend to remove the entites and configuration configured for lower versions.

New in 3.1.1

• Fixed support for BTL201 (a non battery powered device)

Supported features

This integration requires Home Assistant Bluetooth integration. The devices are discovered automatically or you can use MiPow integration from the integration list.

Color light

In color mode you can control both white value and color separately. When color is selected, the brigthness of the color is only changed, in this case the white value is controlled separately. When no color is selected, then brightness represents white value.

White light only

In this mode only white value is changed - any colors are removed.

Battery sensor

For battery powered devices a battery sensor is available

Effect configuration

The buiild-in effects can be controlled:

• delay - the lowest the value, the slowest the effect is
• repetitions - how many times the effect should be repeated
• pause - after repetitions, the light is turned off and the effect repeats

Mipow candles come with a predefined list of effects that are represented in HA by:

• light - no effects applied at all
• flash
• pulse
• rainbow
• colorloop
• candle

Timer

Since version 3.1. Some devices support a timer (scheduler) that can set specific state of the device (turn on or off the device). The integration supports only one timer that is used to turn off the device after specified number of minutes. This feature can ensure that battery powered devices will be turned off beyound HA control. Still turning on or off the device from HA is recommended.
