Failed to connect

[alonsobasauri]

Hello, I have installed everything ok and homeassistant does suggest me to add my ilink device, it even pre-fills the MAC address but when I click add i see a message "Failed to connect" after a few seconds :(

Is there a way to see the logs of the integration? I'm on HAOS.

Thanks for your great project!

you can check all the logs by enabling them in configration.yaml

...
logger:
  ...
  logs:
    ...
    custom_components.ilink_light: debug
   ...

Home assistant to be able to connect to the light:

1. You need BLE proxy ( i use common esp32 with default bluetooth proxy https://esphome.io/projects/?type=bluetooth)
2. Yo need app to be disconnected from the light ( light support only 1 active connection)
3. Patience. This chinese lights are buggy as hell :)

Everything worked for me until recently. But today the iLink light stopped working with lamp. Lamp was connected through my orange pi bluetooth on which HA supervised is running. I also have bluetooth-proxy on esp32. How to register an iLink lamp in bluetooth-proxy?

HA handles everything with bluetooth-proxy, no need to register anything manually.
In case of connection problems, from my expirience those actions helped:

• disconnect phone app from light, as light support only 1 active bt connection
• disconnect light from power for few seconds (then power it on again), so essentially it reset all bt connections in case light chip communication is stuck
  Good luck :)
