Hi, I'm looking to remotely control some outdoor lights.  They are all on the same circuit and I want to control them individually.  I thought about using Mini Shelly's but there isn't enough room in the electrical box.  On amazon, I've seen some WiFi devices that screw into the fixture and then the bulb screws into it.  Just not sure if these can be managed by AM server.  Has anyone know of a device like this that can be controlled natively by AM?

Thanks

Chris

Probably not...   Itead (sonoff) did have some, if they're ESP8266 based it may be possible to flash but I've never looked at them.  In this situation (basement lights on the same circuit in my case) I used zigbee bulbs.  For zigbee you could use a hue hub or flash the (correct version) of the sonoff/zigbee hub (or others) with tasmota.  Another option would tplink/kasa wifi bulbs or philips wiz bulbs which are directly supported.  It's also possible to flash esp8266 based wifi bulbs with MppBulb but they can be difficult to find and tricky to flash.

Hi Mike thanks.  Can AM control the brightness and colour of the TPLink bulbs.  Also, does AM support TPLink/Tapo bulbs

Kasa bulbs, yes, brightness, color and color temperature (for the bulbs that support those features).
AM doesn't have support for tapo yet.

Hi Mike, I bought a few of the Kasa Bulbs.  The Kasa App has options to select color or White and under White you can adjust between 2700K and 5800K.  

In AM SetColor will change the color of the lights but I can't seem to configure white light.   I've tried using SetWhite but when I select devices it says "no suitable devices available".  Any suggestions on how I can use AM to configure white ~2700K? 

Thanks

I might need to update the type in AM – what’s the model number of the bulb (check in the AM details to get the model that’s provided by the bulbs themselves).  The AM log might help too if you can grab one.

Hi Mike, they are KL125. I don't see anything in the log at the time when I try to select the device while creating the action.

Thanks

Should be working, to set the KL125 to white you only need to set a temperature.  If you use the “control” option in the GUI you can play with it manually, and you can use the rule action “SetTemperature”.  “SetWhite” is for bulbs that need a specific command to switch from color to temperature (white) mode (tuya bulbs), the kasa bulbs change automatically when you set a temperature so it’s not necessary.

Hi Mike that solves that problem but something else that is weird is that the lights show a yellow status in AM after my rule executes.  That persists for about a minute and then the colour change is visible.  I can't figure out why they go into this yellow status and it seems to delay the execution of the rule.

I am using one of three event devices to trigger a corresponding rule to control the 6 lights;

The 6 lights are:
MH_LGHT_DW1_Keyhole
MH_LGHT_DW2_DogLeg
MH_LGHT_DW3_Fork
MH_LGHT_DW4_SteepBank
MH_LGHT_DW5_North
MH_LGHT_DW6_South

The event devices and corresponding rules are:
1) EVNT_DW_Lights_OFF is used to trigger the rule: DFN_DW_Lights_OFF (Rule 122)
When:
  OnEvents [EVNT_DW_Lights_OFF] restartable
Then:
  SetDevices: [MH_LGHT_DW1_Keyhole, MH_LGHT_DW2_DogLeg, MH_LGHT_DW3_Fork, MH_LGHT_DW4_SteepBank, MH_LGHT_DW5_North, MH_LGHT_DW6_South] to OFF

2) EVNT_DW_Lights_ON_WT is used to trigger the rule DFN_DW_Lights_ON_WT (Rule 121)
When:
  OnEvents [EVNT_DW_Lights_ON_WT]
Then:
  SetBrightness: [MH_LGHT_DW1_Keyhole, MH_LGHT_DW2_DogLeg, MH_LGHT_DW3_Fork, MH_LGHT_DW4_SteepBank, MH_LGHT_DW5_North, MH_LGHT_DW6_South] set to 30%
  SetTemperature: [MH_LGHT_DW1_Keyhole, MH_LGHT_DW2_DogLeg, MH_LGHT_DW3_Fork, MH_LGHT_DW4_SteepBank, MH_LGHT_DW5_North, MH_LGHT_DW6_South] set to 2700K
  SetDevices: [MH_LGHT_DW1_Keyhole, MH_LGHT_DW2_DogLeg, MH_LGHT_DW3_Fork, MH_LGHT_DW4_SteepBank, MH_LGHT_DW5_North, MH_LGHT_DW6_South] to ON


3) EVNT_DW_Lights_ON_BL is used to trigger the rule DFN_DW_Lights_ON_BL (Rule 123)
When:
  OnEvents [EVNT_DW_Lights_ON_BL]
Then:
  SetBrightness: [MH_LGHT_DW1_Keyhole, MH_LGHT_DW2_DogLeg, MH_LGHT_DW3_Fork, MH_LGHT_DW4_SteepBank, MH_LGHT_DW5_North, MH_LGHT_DW6_South] set to 20%
  SetColor: [MH_LGHT_DW1_Keyhole, MH_LGHT_DW2_DogLeg, MH_LGHT_DW3_Fork, MH_LGHT_DW4_SteepBank, MH_LGHT_DW5_North, MH_LGHT_DW6_South] set to 227° at 100%
  SetDevices: [MH_LGHT_DW1_Keyhole, MH_LGHT_DW2_DogLeg, MH_LGHT_DW3_Fork, MH_LGHT_DW4_SteepBank, MH_LGHT_DW5_North, MH_LGHT_DW6_South] to ON



For example in the log below, I set the lights to 20% brightness, set colour to 227 (blue), and then set devices on. The lights turn on immediately, but the color change isn't visible until after the devices return to normal status in AM which takes about a minute.

Once that rule completes and device status is normal, I trigger EVNT_DW_Lights_ON_BL 
It takes about a minute for the colour to change from blue to white.

The yellow status is correct, that indicates there are command pending so they should stay yellow until the bulbs report they’ve changed to the target state, brightness, and color.  Unfortunately Kasa devices aren’t the fastest to respond, and they tend to crash if multiple commands are sent to a device.  So AM sets the desired value one at a time then polls until the bulb confirms it’s done what was asked before moving on.  Changing from off to on to a brightness level to a color can be a bit slow since it’s 3 commands.  Unfortunately kasa devices don’t support the “PrepareBrightness” function so you can’t do that one ahead of time either…  You might be able to skip the “on” action and just set them to the target color, then the preferred level - it might look a bit better and save a little time.
