| GPIO RGB LED strip (RGB-only) | Partly works | User modified plugin for RGB-only strips; owner allowed publishing a forkSaved copyThanks for the great plugin and definitive install instructions.. I have tested nearly all the rgb led strip homebridge plugins to no avail. Most of them depended either on pigpio library v0.6.2 or node version compatible with v8. Only this plugin really works on my installation of official homebridge image. As I have an rgb led instead of rgbw one I tried to modify this library to rgb led strip locally. I have removed every code that is related to white color. As a result all the colors are working except for white.. Can you direct me to the right direction or provide an rgb version of this … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22. | Issue #42 · 2020-09 |
