Milight integration with Loxone

[Tico]

I've searched through these posts for Milight integration with Loxone. There are some references to an old Milight wifi controller that could be controlled with a PicoC block.

The new wifi iBox2 controller seems to have a different API.

Is anyone using current generation Milights with iBox2 and Loxone?

I do this (and other this like Alexa support) with Node-red on a rPi and virtual outputs in Loxone.
Nodered has a Mi-Light 2 node (compatible with latest iboxes) and then some UDP magic to virtual outputs.

Thanks. I've just ordered a Milight floodlight (100W RGB CCT).

If you have any further details of how this is set up in Node-red, that'd be appreciated. I'm just beginning with Node-red on a Loxberry installation. I don't have a clue yet...

The light has just arrived and all works well so far.

Things I've read about and checked for -

1. Earthing - Despite many YouTube videos depicting lack of a connected earth for some cheap imported lights, this light is fine (it also wasn't very cheap...)

2. Lighting driver below advertised output - With a multi-meter connected, this pulls 0.4A at 250 volts. 100 watts.

@Koray Sels - Do you have a screen-shot of the Node-red setup with Mi-Light 2?

I'm just getting my head around Node Red. I've successfully integrated the Loxone and Milight nodes and have some partial control of the Milight with Loxone.

I've got temperature, ON/OFF and brightness control of the white component of the light. 

I'm struggling with how to split the HSV (RGB) component and reformat them appropriately.

I'm keen to view someone else's flows to establish how it's done.
