Hi all My main reason to buy Homey was the ability to controll MiLights. They have a large selection of different lights; 230V, 12V, indoor, outdoor and so on. Now I have a lot of lights but can’t get hold of the old iBox controller. I made a request to add support for the new WL-Box 1 but how will I know if they plan on adding this and when this could happen? I have about 50 bulbs and 20 led strip controllers and really don’t want to replace them all. -Is there a way to know if they plan on supporting the new WL-Box1? -Anyone found a supplier of the old iBox? Thanks in advance for any help in this matter!! ---

Hi Tommy Well the only solution for this is to find a older version of the Ibox or finding somebody that can program a app for the new wlbox. Both ways quite difficult I managed to find some one that sold me 2 of the older versions and maybe you can find them on eBay. However I did find a whole alternative solution and that is to use the LED lights and bulbs of gledopto. They have a similar selection as mi light and works on Zigbee. The app is also available on the app store. I installed it at a friend’s house and was quite impressed ---

Be very sure these are really the old models. I bought 2 as they advertised with the old models when I received it I got the new models. I contacted several sellers on Ali and in first attempt they assure that they have the old models but when I ask to take a picture you will see this is the new model. When you complain about that they will say that these are the same as they aren’t 🤦 ---

I have only been looking for iBox2 but this also works then. Great advice. Maybe can have them take a picture, as Xavi2503 advices, so I really get the right one. ---

Noel, How does the built in light in iBox1 work? Is it one zone of its own or how is it controlled. ---

Use the Mi-light app of Homey. Each zone is recognized in Homey: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/f/6fc7ed15f22369f866ddb21b4318d5839c5e5c8c.jpeg) The lights are configured in the Mi-Light app (Android/Apple) ---

Finally!!! I have a solution the wl-box 1 can be linked with the tuya smart app and you can add the lamps you choose add device then lighting then lighting (other) after this you reset your wl box and then you let it search then you open the homey app and you can add your lamp with tuya cloud ---

Ok, finally a solution with the new WL-Box1, great! I’m not completely shure i get the procedure, but maybe it clears when I try it out. ---

If you install the tuyasmart app Then you create a account After that you can click on the + top right Then you have a list of devices Here you select light and the device light (other) After it you get a screen now you reset your device by holding the link button for 3 seconds Then you select confirm and next Then set your wifi and start search If it find the device you can change the name And added it ---

I have the right Mibox (ibox2), homey can see my bridge and I can add all the 4-channel controllers for my ledstrips. But after that… nothing happens. I can switch all lights in the app, but nothing actually happens with my ledstrips. They stay off. Currently I have the strips in good working order within Domoticz and the Milight app itself also works. But not homey… Can anyone give me some good advice were to start?
