HomeBrite LED Bulb Gateway for SmartThings Hub

The ST hub cannot control BLE devices so this lets you create a bridge using a CHIP or RPI3 that is discoverable via SSDP.

Setup

First, make sure you use the HomeBrite mobile app to create a pin and add all of your lights to a group.

Install bridge on Raspberry Pi 3 with resin.io

Create an account and new device on resin.io, download the ResinOS to your RPI3.

git remote add resin username@git.resin.io:username/devicename.git

replace username and devicename with your own

git push resin master

(non resin.io) Install with systemd

sudo apt-get install -y python-twisted libglib2.0-dev
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

cat > csrmesh_lights.env <<"EOF"
BLE_ADDRESSES=SPACE_SEPARATED_LIST_OF_MACS
BLE_PIN=INSERT_YOUR_4_DIGIT_PIN
EOF
sudo mv csrmesh_lights /etc/csrmesh_lights.env

sudo cp csrmesh-lights.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable csrmesh-lights
sudo systemctl start csrmesh-lights

or with docker-compose on HypriotOS with RPI3

Install HypriotOS on your Raspberry Pi 3

git clone https://github.com/danisla/iot-homebrite-led-bulb.git

cd iot-homebrite-led-bulb
cat > .env <<"EOF"
BLE_MAC=SPACE SEPARATED MAC ADDRESS LIST
BLE_PIN=YOUR_PIN
DEVICE_INDEX=1
HTTP_PORT=8282
EOF

docker-compose pull
docker-compose up -d

Add to SmartThings app

From the SmartThings developer portal, add the devicetype and control app groovy sources found in the ./smartthings directory. Make sure to publish them after copy-pasting.

From the SmartThings mobile app, goto Marketplace -> SmartApps -> My Apps and add the RESTful CSRMesh Dimmable Light app.
