python-limitlessled controls LimitlessLED bridges. It supports white, rgbw and rgbww bulb groups as well as the bridge-led of newer wifi bridges.

pip install limitlessled

Your bridge(s) must be set up and bulbs joined prior to using this module.

Group names can be any string, but must be unique amongst all bridges.

from limitlessled.bridge import Bridge
from limitlessled.group.rgbw import RGBW
from limitlessled.group.rgbww import RGBWW
from limitlessled.group.white import WHITE

bridge = Bridge('<your bridge ip address>')
bridge.add_group(1, 'bedroom', RGBW)
# A group number can support two groups as long as the types differ
bridge.add_group(2, 'bathroom', WHITE)
bridge.add_group(2, 'living_room', RGBW)
bridge.add_group(2, 'kitchen', RGBWW)

Get access to groups either via the return value of add_group, or with the LimitlessLED object.

bedroom = bridge.add_group(1, 'bedroom', RGBW)
# or
limitlessled = LimitlessLED()
limitlessled.add_bridge(bridge)
bedroom = limitlessled.group('bedroom')

# The bridge led can be controlled and acts as a RGBW group
bridge_led = bridge.bridge_led

Turn on:

bedroom.on = True

Change brightness:

bedroom.brightness = 0.5 # 0.0 through 1.0

Change temperature (white groups only)

bedroom.temperature = 0.5 # 0.0 through 1.0

Change color (rgbw groups only)

LimitlessLED RGBW bulbs can represent only the hue component of RGB color. There are 256 possible values, starting with blue as 0. Maximum saturation and value are always used. This means that most RGB colors are not supported. There are two special cases: Black (0, 0, 0) is simply all LEDs turned off. White (255, 255, 255) is the RGB LEDs off and the white LED on. Note that the actual color of the white LED depends on whether the bulb is a cool white or a warm white bulb.

from limitlessled import Color
bedroom.color = Color(255, 0, 0) # red

Transition

bedroom.transition(brightness=1.0, temperature=0.1) # white groups

from limitlessled import Color
bedroom.transition(brightness=1.0, color=Color(0, 255, 0)) # rgbw groups

Pipelines specify a sequence of stages, each stage being a command. Pipelines are not executed until called as an argument to a group's enqueue method.

Pipelines are executed in a thread (per group). Multiple pipelines can be started on a group; they will queue and execute in the order received.

A bridge can run multiple pipelines concurrently provided they are on different groups. Note that concurrency is achieved by interleaving commands, and as a consequence, pipeline execution can take longer than specified and each pipeline may use fewer transition steps depending on the number of concurrently executing pipelines.

from limitlessled import Color
from limitlessled.pipeline import Pipeline

pipeline = Pipeline() \
    .on() \
    .brightness(0.7) \
    .color(0, 0, 255) \
    .transition(color=Color(255, 0, 0))
    
bedroom.enqueue(pipeline)

Stop the currently-running pipeline:

bedroom.stop()

Turn on

Pipeline().on()

Turn off

Pipeline().off()

Set brightness

Pipeline().brightness(0.5)

Set temperature

Pipeline().temperature(0.5)

Set color

Pipeline().color(255, 0, 0)

Transition

Pipeline().transition(...)

Wait

Pipeline.().wait(4) # in seconds

Repeat

stages is how many previous stages to repeat iterations is how many times to repeat stages

Default stages is 1, default iterations is infinite.

Pipeline().repeat(stages=2, iterations=3)

Callback

def my_function():
    pass

Pipeline().callback(my_function)

Append

p1 = Pipeline.off()

p2 = Pipeline.on().append(p1)
