Introduction
Mi.Light products are low-cost and could be used for the Weather function in Rocrail.
The color spectrum is limited to 8 bit and will not be as smooth as other systems like Philips Hue and DMX.
Drawbacks
The bulbs save the last color and brightness settings, and after a power off and power on, the last setting will be used. (Could be with zero brightness… The room remains dark!)
This is not the excpected behaviour of bulbs which are used to light a room; They should go white with 100% brightness after the bulbs are switched on again.
Setup
Bridge & Bulbs
The bridge and bulbs must be setup independent of Rocrail with a WEB Browser as described in the product manuals.
The QR-Code of the Apps, iOS and Android, are printed on the bridge.
Rocrail
Only the listed options below are evaluated by the MiLight library; All other options are ignored.
Host
The IP address of the bridge.
At startup the available bridges are listed:

With the Console command "5", Query network, this can be manually issued.
Port
The port number is fixed:
| Firmware | Port number |

| V6 | 5987 |
Version
Default is version 5 if this field is left to zero.
Version 5 is tested.
Output Addressing
Only address(group, zone) 1 to 4 are supported by the MiLight WiFi Bridge.
One address(group, zone) can be more then one bulb in the Bridge context.
