the new led controller designed to intergrade with Bambu Lab 3d printers with mqtt, via WIFI 6 or ethernet.all fitting in the size of a standard creditcard.
with support for and ZigBee and voice assistants* coming in the future as well. *Voice assistants will require a philips hue hub
Tailor your home's lighting to your preferences with LUMIN's diverse range of LED strop options, from RGBWW, RGBCCT, and WLEDs to my custom-designed solution for bambulab printers. Thanks to MQTT integration and ZigBee, LUMIN communicates fluidly with other smart home devices, ensuring that your lighting is not just a feature but an integral part of your smart home ecosystem.
For 3D printing enthusiasts, LUMIN offers an extra layer of engagement and control. Directly integrating with Bambulab 3D printers via MQTT, LUMIN creates a visual dialogue between your printer and its environment. It intuitively displays print statuses, progress, and alerts through dynamic lighting changes, adding a new level of interaction to your printing activities.
LUMIN’s capabilities are further enhanced by its compatibility with Klipper, offering the possibility to change the color of the lights based on the status of klipper/printer. This integration ensures that LUMIN's lighting responds thus providing real-time visual feedback on your printing process.
LUMIN redefines your smart home experience, bringing a new dimension of lighting control and ambiance. Seamlessly compatible with Philips Hue*, LUMIN allows you to synchronize your home lighting with everyday activities.

on hold due to case change regarding wrong ethernet phy (20-1-2024)
resumed (5-2-2024)
Delayed due to issues with the ethernet controller (better explained below) will ship after the Chinese new year. on the 1st of march so 1 month after the originally planned date
Over the past month, I’ve put in my utmost effort to ensure that the product you receive is of the best quality possible.
However, as today is the shipping date, I have to share some slightly unfortunate news.
Due to delivery challenges, the Zigbee chip will not be included on the board, and, as of writing this email, the Ethernet functionality remains untested. Additionally, the setup software is still in the testing phase and is not fully operational yet. Please note, that there is a possibility that Ethernet may function with a future software update, but this cannot be guaranteed at the moment.
There’s one more point I need to address: The LDO (voltage regulator) on the beta boards tends to run quite hot (about 35-40°C), which, while not impacting its functionality, could theoretically shorten its lifespan. Therefore, I’ve decided to offer a lifetime warranty for the beta boards (revision 1.2). Should any issues arise, you can contact me for a replacement. Though it’s unlikely to occur in the near future, I feel this is the least I can do. Rest assured, this issue will be resolved in the main release.
another noteworthy note is that while the hardware is mostly done ish (still not fully tested but wifi works)
the config software isn’t done yet, now I know this is kinda important however by the time you receive your boards it should be done.
As you might have heard or read, there was an error with the Ethernet on the boards. I have revised the boards and added the option for PoE (Power over Ethernet) and PoE+ in the future. Unfortunately, this will only provide 1.4A of 24V, and it will require the upcoming PoE hat—a small PCB that plugs into the Lumin board and hosts the PoE controller. So, while it won’t support very long LED strips, the LED bars, for example, will work flawlessly
I have posted updated stls and step files of the board/case on the GitHub and linked thosm/roscog/Lumine to the download pages of the respective products.

I have good news, some more good news, but I also have bad news, so let’s start with that.
I have been spending the past week getting Ethernet on the boards working, and after a lot of discussion with a friend of mine who’s been making PCBs longer than I have (15 years), we found that the PHY I used, even though Espressif has a reference design for it, isn’t compatible. So, this means I will need to use a different one.This is going to take some time, 1-2 weeks, depending on how much sleep I want, and that also means the beta ship-out will be delayed, seeing as I won’t be sending out a non-functional product.
Now the first bit of good news: While looking at new PHY chips with the person who’s doing software, we found a very nice one. It’s slightly more expensive (80 cents) but it supports PoE and PoE+. However, it only does 10 and 100 Mb/s of transfer speed. This isn’t a huge deal as the application we have doesn’t require the gigabit speed we had before. The connection is also more reliable and simpler to the ESP32 compared to the old chip that used RMII.
This also means that when I’m redoing the Ethernet section, I will be adding a PoE controller. However, it will be limited to only the LED bars and a maximum of 5, because a standard LED strip draws too much power and a PoE or POE+ switch won’t be able to power it. I will also only be adding the layout and not the components to the board, seeing as that would require a price increase, since the components required are around 15 euros more than the current design. I will add a detailed part in the manual on where to add what component and in the future, I will make a separate listing for this on the website.
Now the rest of the good news: The USB port will move and will make space for an expansion header (related to a future smart something
). The expansion header, or more specifically connector, will also be used for the easy connection of the LED bars, seeing as I got a quote for prefabricated cables and it was 2 euros cheaper per cable to have connectors on both ends, so we are going to have connectors on both ends.
I’m sorry for any inconvenience, but like I have shown hopefully everywhere, I don’t want a subpar or non-functional product and I’m happy to delay a process to guarantee a better solution, even if that means I get fewer sales. Quality over quantity. and I will always operate this business that way!
They are 28cm (11 IN) long with 2 connectors for daisy chaining and onboard regulation for 5v to power their 26 neopixels if my math is correct (which it probably isn’t) they will use around 6w for roughly a boatload of light.
as like the rest of our products, they are CE and ROSH-compliant.
The controller has the option to control 23 LED bars at the same time, I am Not sure what one would use it for but it can.
they also include 2 mounting holes spaced 20 cm (7.8 IN) apart. with their dimensions on the back of the board
when you order the led bar option you can find the stls/step for the (once the led bars are tested) rizer on the website or maker world/printables, these are completely open source so feel free to modify how you see fit, note however that the angle of the LEDs has been optimized not to blow out the lens of the camera.
once the prototypes arrive I will conduct a “burn” test, turn them on to full brightness, and monitor/log the temperature rise over 72 hours based on the findings I might have to move to aluminum PCBs for better temperature dissipation/longer lifetime of the LEDs, data regarding this will be available at final release on the website.
