Hi,

first of all, wonderful project, thanks for taking the time and effort to look into this device.
I will try to set it up to test it out on my spare RPi device.

However, because the project is written specifically with the pyRF24 library, I probably won't be able to use it on my installation of Home Assistant, which is virtualized on a x86 device.

I was looking into using a serial converter like a CH341 to be able to interface with an NRF24 on a non-RPi device, however, I realised that probably the most convinient solution would be to use a device such as ESP32 with the ESPHome project.

Alternatively, maybe you could add MQTT to the current project, so one could have a spare RPi as "gateway"?

What are your thoughts on this?

Thanks!

Hi, first of all, amazing work with the project. I am running into some issues and I hope you will be able to help me with it. I am running this project on a

• Raspberry Pi Zero 2 w
• running Python 3.9.2
• with a nRF24L01(+) module
• and I have a Xiaomi My Computer Monitor Light Bar, model MJGJD01YL (without BLE or app).

After about 3-4 hours of trying I was able to catch 2 packets with the correct crc with the provided script

but I am unable to control the Lighbar by using the ID in the example given in the readme

When trying to add the Lightbar custom component as an integration it gets stuck on

Please wait, starting configuration wizard for Xiaomi Mi Computer Monitor Light Bar

for a while and then I get the error

Config flow could not be loaded: 500 Internal Server Error Server got itself in trouble

I think I need to add the Device ID to configuration.yaml. If the custom component is not yet complete, I can try and help if you can point me in the right direction.

In developer tools I get this warning

Configuration warnings
Integration error: xiaomi_lightbar - Requirements for xiaomi_lightbar not found: ['xiaomi_lightbar_nrf24 @git+https://github.com/lamperez/xiaomi-lightbar-nrf24.git'].

Hello, first thanks for the work done !

I liked the mqtt subscriber for home assistant but I wanted to still be able to use the physical remote without having a desynchronization between the real state of the lamp and the one on home assistant (mostly due to the fact that its the same command to turn on and off the lamp).

To do so I tried with the adapter board to play with power level or channel (like on #3 (comment) ) but I couldn't get a reliable reception.

Any ideas on how to improve packet capture from the remote ?
