|

LimitlessLED bulbs are controlled via groups, so you can only control an individual bulb via the bridge if it is in a group by itself.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: you can assign an `rgbw`, `rgbww`, `white` and `dimmer` group to the same group number, effectively allowing up to 16 groups (4 `rgbww`, 4 `rgbw`, 4 `white` and 4 `dimmer`) per bridge.

### {% linkable_title Setup %}
|
||||
|
||||
Before configuring Home Assistant, make sure you can control your bulbs or LEDs with the MiLight mobile application. Discover your bridge(s) IP address. You can do this via your router or a mobile application like Fing ([android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.overlook.android.fing&hl=en) or [iTunes](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fing-network-scanner/id430921107?mt=8)).

- **number** (*Required*): Group number (`1`-`4`). Corresponds to the group number on the remote. These numbers may overlap only if the type is different.
|

- **name** (*Required*): Any name you'd like. Must be unique among all configured groups.

- **type** (*Optional*): Type of group. Choose either `rgbww`, `rgbw`, `white`, `bridge-led` or `dimmer`. `rgbw` is the default if you don't specify this entry. Use `bridge-led` to control the built-in LED of newer WiFi bridges.
|

- **fade** (*Optional*): Fade behavior. Defaults to `off`. If turned on, the group is faded out before being turned off. This makes for a more pleasing transition at the expense of wall switch usability, since the light will turn back on at the lowest brightness if it is power cycled.

### {% linkable_title Night Effect %}
|
||||
|
||||
LimitlessLED has a `night` effect that can be used to dim the lights below `brightness: 1`. This night mode is meant to temporarily turn the lights into a nightlight. This mode can be especially helpful when wall switches are also being used. For example, when a light is using the `night` effect one way to return it to its previous brightness level (other than using Home Assistant) is to switch the lights off and then back on from the wall switch.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the `brightness`, `color` and `temperature` attributes cannot be used when using the `night` effect. You can turn on `night` effect by using the `effect` attribute of the normal `light.turn_on` service. Here is an example:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
automation:
|
||||
- alias: ...
|
||||
trigger:
|
||||
# ...
|
||||
action:
|
||||
- service: light.turn_on

||||
data:

Refer to the [light]({{site_root}}/components/light/) documentation for general property usage, but keep in mind the following notes specific to LimitlessLED.
|
||||
|
||||
- **RGBWW** (Only supported on v6 bridges)
|
||||
- *Color*: There are 25,856 color possibilities along the LimitlessLED color spectrum. For colors, hue and saturation can be used, but not lightness. If you select a color with lightness, Home Assistant will calculate the nearest valid LimitlessLED color. In white mode the temperature can be set.

- **RGBW**
|
||||
- *Color*: There are 256 color possibilities along the LimitlessLED color spectrum. Color properties like saturation and lightness can not be used - only Hue can. The only exception is white (which may be warm or cold depending on the type of RGBW bulb). If you select a color with saturation or lightness, Home Assistant will calculate the nearest valid LimitlessLED color.

|

- **White**
|
||||
- When using a legacy WiFi bridge (before v6), you can observe on the MiLight mobile application, you can not select a specific brightness or temperature - you can only step each property up or down. There is no indication of which step you are on. This restriction, combined with the unreliable nature of LimitlessLED transmissions, means that setting white bulb properties is done on a best-effort basis. The only very reliable settings are the minimum and maximum of each property.

This lack of synchronization is due to a LimitlessLED limitation.
