I would like to control my Philips LivingColors 1st generation from Home Assistant. To make this possible I need to be able to communicate with the light. The LivingColors 1st generation uses a CC2500 2.4 GHz RF Transceiver for the communication between the remote control to the light. Some other smart people have already worked out how the communication protocol works, however a really decent way to integrate the light in Home Assistant is not yet available. There’s thus still some work to do.
