Hi all,
We just got our new swimming pool installed, and it comes with RGBW lighting from Duratech. The hardware:
- Controller and transformator: PLP-REM-350 (manual: [DURATECH PLP-REM-350 LINK Driver Instruction Manual](https://manuals.plus/duratech/plp-rem-350-link-driver-manual))
- Lighting: Vision Allegro RGBW
It comes with possibilities to connect the controller to any domotics system of choice via:
- RS485
- DMX 512
I would like to control the colours (RGBW) and brightness of the lights via Homey.
Can anyone help me with a good solution?
Thanks!
Pim

Does it use the DuraCloud mobile app?

Unfortunately, I’m afraid it doesn’t.

So it doesn’t have a WiFi interface at all?

I checked those protocols as well but the controllers for that are expensive. The only DMX to WiFi device I could find is this one:
> **[LIGHT RIDER - Smart WIFI DMX Interface - DJLicht.nl](https://djlicht.nl/product/light-rider-smart-wifi-dmx-interface/?srsltid=AfmBOoq8zZ5FUGyr2MNGvbAQKiQ-ZKuPKYKp8UvZEgOkr-qrO7ZJ-a1c)**

That one isn’t supported by Homey. I think you can use a Shelly (or any regular smart plug) as well, but then you don’t have RGBW control (only ON/OFF)

It seems to have 868 mHz, to be used with this controller from Duratec: **Link Touch RGB (DLT10-RGB).**
So it seems that my controller has 868 mHz. But there is no dedicated Homey app available.

I checked the DuraCloud app but that doesn’t have a Homey app available. When attempting to reverse engineer it, it immediately throws an error saying that it needs to be installed from the Google Play store. In this case, it’s not possible to reverse engineer the app’s communication either since the Android emulator cannot have the Play Store (it protects against network request interception).

Hmm ok, so it seems hard to connect it with Homey? Even via a extra RGBW controller, if possible.

It might be possible using that DMX gateway where I posted the link to earlier. I have no experience with DMX512, so you’ll have to do some research about the connectors and if it’s the correct type for your light. If you want, I can check if I can reverse engineer the “Light Rider” app that the DMX gateway uses.

How about something like this, would you think that this will work: [DMX Series Mi-Light LED Controller - Ledgroothandel.nl](https://www.ledgroothandel.nl/milight-led-strip-controller-dmx-serie-rgbcct.html?bg_source=ga&bg_campaign=20064758801&bg_kw=pla-2461124289347-mi-110588730-pi-274069319-ppi-2461124289347&bg_source_id=657040370102&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20064758801&gbraid=0AAAAADcTntG7Yvp5JDgoWkD7hg6aOOAfE&gclid=CjwKCAiAnoXNBhAZEiwAnItcG_DkUsNqvgCqBQHJkaGAH94_sibvfAnSr2h9nxkOhJ3_fEvpvF0AFhoCi9kQAvD_BwE)

That device is for connecting an LED strip to a DMX512 interface/controller, it doesn’t appear to have WiFi either.

I was thinking, the PLP-REM-350 does have a RF band 868 MHz for a remote [that you can buy](https://www.dezwembadspecialist.nl/zwembaden/inhetbad/zwembad-verlichting/led-verlichting-spectravision/spectravision-transformator/linktouch-rgb?utm_source=google&utm_medium=surfaces&utm_campaign=shopping%20feed&utm_content=free%20google%20shopping%20clicks&utm_source=google&eyk_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&eyk_campaign=16205967041&campaign_id=16205967041&eyk_content=581940694495&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=16205967041&gbraid=0AAAAADftV4dF12j-MeOMBrlGTE-wbFGYf&gclid=CjwKCAiAnoXNBhAZEiwAnItcG7qG1tYDBzFQTF0YqwkKcS3VNWbACd4gQcVLoKcE86pFkPfTYJQemxoCIpEQAvD_BwE). Would it be possible to pick this signal with Homey and write an app to control the controller directly via Homey?
See technical specifications below:

It depends on which Homey model you have and the specifications of the remote. Only Homey Pro 2016-2019 support 868 MHz RF, and there’s not a single 868MHz app available in the Homey App Store (the 868MHz RF feature is also fully undocumented). I wouldn’t be able to build an app for this, but you can request an app here:

Hmm I have a 2023 Homey Pro. So it seems hard to connect the Duratech lamps to Homey and control them with a native Homey app? Even with a third party gateway?

@smarthomesven Do you think that there is any chance we could solve this issue?

It might be possible to decompile the DuraCloud app, but cloning the communication protocol depends on how many services/layers it uses. If it uses simple polling/REST API, that would be easy to implement.
I will try to decompile the app tomorrow, but it seems that the mobile app uses a hybrid approach of communicating with the device. It uses a local connection when you’re on LAN and otherwise it will use the cloud connection. I think that ,if it’s even possible to reverse engineer the protocol, I would only be able to reverse engineer the **cloud** connection.
