This isn’t the best place to answer that question. Here we are controlling the lamps using Vera instead of the iOS or Android apps. I suggest that you contact MiLight or LimitlessLED for more help.
besides what RexBeckett stated already.
its not advicable to publish a app from a 3rd party site,
that would disconnect the user from updates and (more important) the user have to do serval steps to install it, simply using the app store is very simple.
Hi,
Thanks for the replies. I understand what you both mean. The main reason I asked was because on iPad’s the milight app was not being found in the Apple store.
Thanks for the replies.
That’s because it is just released as an iphone app. you just have to click the iPhone tab on the top of the appstore, and it will appear.
just publish this link on your page
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/milight/id680443167and all is good 
all ios devices and itunes will open it properly
maybe change the “us” to the place of you target market.
@RexBeckett - Many thanks to you for all your work on this, outstanding job.
I am trying to figure out my Christmas list and was wondering if the LimitlessLED stuff was worth using / trying out? Would I be better to use a better product like the Philips Hue system?

Hi
That depends on how you are going to use the bulbs. I have booth types.
Milight pros
- cheaper
- When the bulbs are powered on, they remember the last settings
Milight cons
- the bulbs are more blueish, especially if they are put in a glas lamp
Philips hue
Pros
- more natural yellowish light
Cons
- pretty expensive
- they always power on at white light at 100 %
I think moni is talking about the RGB bulbs. the new LimitlessLED RGBW LED bulbs have pure warm white.
Cheers,

My GBP 0.02 is that both the White and RGBW lamps work well. I mostly use the White versions because I like being able to adjust the colo(u)r temperature and I don’t really need technicolor lighting. The RGBW lamps are great for both coloured lighting effects and normal (warm) white light. The 9W RGBW version gives a lot of light. I think the RGB version is only suitable for lighting effects.
I have been running several of these lamps using both V2 and V3 bridges and my MiLightW and MiLightRGBW plugins for months now. They work so reliably I forget they are not just regular lamps on regular Z-Wave dimmers. Theoretically, the one-way communication protocol should be a disadvantage but, in practice, I have had no problems. I have yet to see anything offer better value-for-money.

“- more natural yellowish light” → I think you are referring to the previous generation Mi Light bulb,
while the new one has,
next to it’s RGB LED’s dedicated LED’s for warm white light!
I was thinking of using these as outdoor lights.
Anyone know the range from the controller that these will work ?
I think I’ve seen 20 metres mentioned. All my lamps are within 10 metres of their bridges so I have not had occasion to verify this.
The Wifi module inside the bridge has a u.fl connector so an external 2.4GHz antenna could be used to extend the bridge to access-point range if required. There is a surface-mount soldered jumper that selects between on-board and external antenna.
I guess I will have to keep looking. I need a little less than 100m.
You can get 100m especially if its in the same room like a showroom. especially if you attach an old wifi router and plug it in, and set the switch, as Rex suggested. Are you thinking of using them on a long driveway or similar?
Yes I have a long driveway, with post lights every 15m.
What do you mean by attach to an “old wifi router”. Do you mean attach to the LAN outside ? I already have some LAN ports outside.
You can use an old wifi router, and use the aerial off it because they are tuned to 2.4Ghz and generally have the same connector.
I have uploaded a new version of MiLightRGBW. This has a new action SetColor newColor=xxx where xxx is one of: “red” / “green” / “blue” / “yellow” / “cyan” / “magenta”. There are also six corresponding buttons on the device’s Control tab to set the lamp to these colours.
I could never remember what hue value gave which colour so this is an easy way to get basic colours. You can still dial-in hue values between 0 and 255 if you want a specific colour. It is even easier with the next version of AutHomationHD which provides a handy colour-wheel for picking just the right shade.
I have added a link to instructions for setting-up the Wifi Bridges to the first post.
I also removed references and links to the original debug tool plugins as I seriously doubt that anyone is still using them and they had caused some confusion. I believe that the dimmable-light emulator plugins provide a good solution to using MiLight lamps with Vera so development will continue on them.
New versions of MiLightWU1, MiLightCU1 and MiLightRGBW uploaded. I have changed to using the standard Vera attribute ip for the IP address and port instead of the variables IPaddr and IPport. The format for ip is ipaddress:port E.g. 192.168.1.100:8899. If you do not enter the port, 8899 will be assumed. This is correct for the V3 Wifi Bridge but you should enter 50000 if you are using the older bridge with the blue/white label.
The change should make it slightly easier to create new devices as the ip attribute can be set during the creation process so it saves one restart.
If you already have MiLightXXX devices, the new plugin code will take the existing vales from IPaddr and IPport and set ip for you on the next Luup restart. The old values will then be cleared to avoid future confusion.
Only the S_MiLightXXX.xml and I_MiLightXXX.xml files and the PDF instructions have been changed.
