Hubitat Osram/Sylvania RBGW driver similar to this ST driver

An initial test of the driver is working with on/off. I'll do more digging this weekend. I have a couple other drivers to finish, first, but this one is promising :slight_smile:

FYI that ST driver was made for the old Osram manufactured bulbs. Not sure if these features work with the newer bulbs, since they have a different SOC.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll install one onto my smartthings hub and see how it responds with that driver over there

If you need a Hubitat tester, I've got a couple of older Osrams RGBW A19s that I can throw on one of my Hubitat Elevations.

So, good news. The effects do work on SmartThings on the newer A19 bulbs.

Nice! I realized after the fact that I could have put one of my bulbs on ST and tested it for you. :cry: But I’m sure you wanted to see for yourself anyway.

No worries! That certainly would have worked—but I also don't really like the way it's implemented in ST, so it was probably good for me to see how it works with my own eyes :slight_smile:

The feature to change the power on level and ct/color (I think that was in this driver) won’t work with the newer bulbs and isn’t necessary. They already do this if they have been on at the setting for I believe 30 seconds.

Giving this a bump. Any chance you were able to get this driver working? I have a few of these bulbs and am super interested in this driver if you have time to port it over. Thank you, either way!

I actually pushed it back and focused on porting the gateway over, instead. I'll have to take a look at this, again.

Bump. :smiley: Any news on a driver? I am in the process of moving my stuff over from SmartThings and would love to be able to use the color loop function of these lights in Hubitat. I would get the gateway but I'm not sure it would be worth it since it will be a brick in less than a year. Thanks!

Unfortunately, no. I’ve had a few other projects supersede this. I’ve also switched away from Lightify for the most part.

Bummer. I guess I will be keeping some of my lights on SmartThings for now. Thanks for letting us know.

I don't know if I'd get bummed out quite yet. I just made a lot of progress—now that I actually see how the commands are sent. I'll keep on it tomorrow, but it's not far.
