A firmware replacement for the Milight/LimitlessLED WiFi gateway that runs on an ESP8266 or ESP32 with an NRF24L01+ or LT8900 radio. It exposes a web UI, MQTT support, a UDP gateway, and a REST API for controlling Milight smart bulbs over the reverse-engineered 2.4 GHz protocol.
Use cases
- control milight smart bulbs without the official wifi gateway
- bridge milight bulbs into home assistant via mqtt
- send UDP commands to milight bulbs from custom scripts
- replace a lost or broken limitlessled remote
- track and restore smart bulb state server-side
- sniff packets from existing milight remotes
When to choose
- you own Milight/LimitlessLED/EasyBulb bulbs and want local, cloud-free control
- you want MQTT or REST integration with home automation platforms
- you have an ESP8266/ESP32 and a cheap NRF24L01+ radio
When to avoid
- your bulbs use a different protocol (e.g., Zigbee, WiFi-native bulbs)
- you want a plug-and-play commercial solution without soldering or wiring
- you need support for radio modules other than NRF24L01+ or LT8900
