I wanted to use my Plasma Wireless Cubey from within my Home Assistant setup so I got something working well enough.
It has basic support for state, brightness and colour from within Home Assistant and I’ve been using it bound with some zigbee buttons for a little while and it seems to work well enough so I thought this might be useful to someone else. Finally got around to pushing it up to a repo on Github:
I haven’t got around to getting the auto-discovery payloads in there so its a piece of manual configuration for now from within Home Assistant but I’ve documented what I needed to do to get it working for me in the readme.
Any questions or problems, feel free to drop me a note but hopefully it might prove useful to someone else out there!

Hi! I was looking for something like this and loved your original idea. I ended up rewriting most of it since I don’t know what I’m doing and it was a good way to learn how to use asyncio for the first time
I added MQTT auto-discovery, support for effects and animations, and indicating the status with the onboard LED and strip. I mainly added the weather effects, and my idea is to set up HomeAssistant scenes/automations that represent different weather conditions but across multiple devices.
I didn’t put together a readme, but everything to change is in CONFIG.py and should be pretty straight forward if you want to try it out.

Looks great! I meant to revisit mine and tidy it up but … you know how things get! Adding in animations was in my original plan so this looks like a great solution!
