After months of waiting for Athom updating the Mi-Light app for the WL-BOX1…

I found an alternative solution for connecting my garden lights (2.4ghz) to Homey via ZigBee.

The **Gledopto ZigBee RF Bridge USB** finally solves my issue I had a long time!

The device will connect as a Unknown device but it still detects all the options to select color etc for RGBCCT lights. The WL-BOX1 is not necessary the lights are linked directly to this module.

**Important note:** This device is 1 zone only. So if you have more zones or you want independent control then you need more usb-sticks.

I bought it at a dutch webshop but I think its on Alie as well.

Hi Maurits,

Long time ago since you posted this topic.  
I have also some GLEDopto USB sticks, and connected some lamps.  
But if I connect more lamps, sometimes not all the lamps on that group are responding? Do you also had this problem?

I only have 6 garden lights but it can happen, but its very rare. Because i think it supports up to a 1000 fixtures? Because the lights resend the singal themselves. I know a company that uses milights around the buidling and they all respond perfectly from 1 hub.
