Philips Livingcolors
Hello everyone,
I'm trying to control the Philips Livingcolor (https://www.bol.com/nl/p/philips-livingcolors-aura-tafellamp-led-wit/9200000010035976/) with my homey. However, I am at a loss on how to connect the remote control to Homey. This doesn't seem to work via Infrared, but I can't find any information on what it does use.
Is anyone familiar with this device and able to help?

"Vanaf generatie 2 gebeurt de draadloze aansturing van de lampen via SmartLink, een Philips protocol. De open standaard ZigBee LightLink is hier een doorontwikkeling van. Dit protocol wordt gebruikt in de Hue."
Newer Hue bridges (square with rounded corners) have a chip to work with Apple HomeKit, older ones (round) don't. Both should work for you.
Hue uses Zigbee LightLink, as far as I can tell, LivingColors use a protocol that is proprietary to Philips (SmartLink), also based on 2.4GHz communication.
Now there are also Livingcolors-like lamps that are called 'Friends of Hue', so I guess they are Zigbee LightLink just like Hue lights are...
Just turning it on and off would be enough for me. There is no option for listening at the 2.4 ghz and registering the signal that was send?
Want to controll it with Homey (Official Remote is not working anymore)
Ik zie dat de vraag nog niet beantwoord is helaas en dus stel ik hem opnieuw.
Is de Philips LivingColors 1st Gen werkende te krijgen via de Homey en zo ja hoe?
Mvg, Stefan
However if you use Google, someone found a solution with arduino, but it won’t be easy by the looks of it.
