I like to know before I make the order.

Yeah good question, if somebody can give us an answer … Thanks

I bought one and its not fully supported by Vera. I get only dimable white lamp with limited settings. No RGB support. It is more or less designed for zipato environment.
Probably will sell mine soon…

Thx for your answer ! Are you in UI7 or less ?

5

I am on UI5. Hearing bad reviews for UI7 so I am not planning an upgrade any soon.

6

Got one of these yesterday. Able to configure it on UI7, but as previously posted only warm white and dimmable. Keep on getting Failed at getting manufacturer info. I have logged a ticket with MIOS to add support for this.

One downside I have seen is that if you put your power switch back on it doesn’t go to previous level, need to control it via the Vera interface to put it back on. Could be just because of the configuration.

just got one of these Zipato bulbs too, installed on VeraEdge, UI7 (1.7.850) , same thing

only warm white on\off and dimmable, no color options, and also keep on getting Failed at getting manufacturer info

this is a Zwave Plus device

opened ticket with support and gave them access to a vistacam pointed at light to help them troubleshoot issue

8

Has anyone received any feedback from support on the RGBW bulb yet?

9

Has support looked at this issue yet?

10

have not heard back on any updates yet

“Failed at getting manufacturer” is fixed, but still no color, for now it’s just an on\off dimable white bulb

11

this is the a doc on it, thought not sure how to set the option #1

http://www.pepper1.net/zwavedb/device/587

Paramter No. 1 Size 1 Default 50
Name Color temperature
Description Configuration option 1 is used to adjust color temperature. Values range from 0 to 100 where 0 means full cold white and 100 means full warm white.
Type range
Values
1 - 100 → Color temperature

ETA : never mind, that is just the white temperature anyways, that works

We recently tested the Zipatio RGBW LED Bulb in Vera and came up with a workaround to control the colour channels.

Hope that helps!

I have tried the work around with no success.

Lua Test results below, but no color change:

LuaTest 1.6

Lua file: /etc/cmh-ludl/luatest.lua

Results
No errors
Runtime: 1.6 ms
Code returned: nil

Print output
(none)

Code
1 luup.call_action(‘urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:ZWaveNetwork1’,‘SendData’,{Node=‘6’,Data=‘51 5 2 2 125’},1)

14

Perhaps the plugin RGB Controller is able to manage the Zipato Bulb (it uses Zwave commands to set RGB color)

thanks, that did work for me

luup.call_action(‘urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:ZWaveNetwork1’,‘SendData’,{Node=‘58’,Data=‘51 5 2 4 255’},1)

made it blue as an example, the 255 is full brightness, the 58 is my device id in the setting section

doesn’t seem to always take though

16

You could test

luup.call_action("urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:ZWaveNetwork1", "SendData", {Node = 58, Data = "0x33 0x05 0x06 0x02 0x00 0x03 0x00 0x04 0xFF"}, 1)

for set the 3 channels RGB at the same time (02:Red, 03:Green, 04:Blue)

17

I cannot get it to work I am trying this using luaTest 1.6, and I seem to get a valid response:
[i]LuaTest 1.6

Lua file: /etc/cmh-ludl/luatest.lua

Results
No errors
Runtime: 1.4 ms
Code returned: nil

Print output
(none)

Code
1 luup.call_action(“urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:ZWaveNetwork1”, “SendData”, {Node = 6, Data = “0x33 0x05 0x06 0x02 0x00 0x03 0x00 0x04 0xFF”}, 1)[/i]

where did you run the code from, within a scene or from the luaTest, and was the bulb already on when you ran the code?

that made it a brighter white from what it was (dimed white)

I ran code for the apps\developer apps section

I have had no luck at getting a Zipato RGBW Bulb work properly with my Vera, that is to get the colors working.

I have tried everything Ive found on google, including http://www.vesternet.com/resources/application-notes/apnt-91 and nothing works (yes I changed the NodeID).

I contacted the Vera support and asked about that “Guaranteed compatibility” policy and they replied:
“By default the Zipato RGBW can only be used with the white colour and until someone manages to create a plugin for it…” and then they referred to the vesternet page above. I expected them to create the plugins needed for my devices to work.

If anyone have more input on how to make all colors work, please reply in this thread!

(btw, this forum have the worst captcha ive ever seen!)

I agree I have tried for hours using the suggested work around with absolutely not luck.

Please can someone from Vera respond to this and give us a way to use the tech we have paid for!!!

(Yes and the captcha sucks!)
