WiZ Lights Support

[Z3r10]

Feature request

What problem does this feature solve?

Adds the support of WiZ lights.
Those lights have pretty good reputation, and are one of the rare that have a local API, making cloud integration virtually optional.
On the contrary of the many, many Tuya-based bulbs...
The product lines is also pretty complete, and the company is now backed by Philips (acquired in 2019).

What does the proposed API look like?

The local API is not officially documented, but it has been reverse-engineered.
It is possible to find some information on the Internet through many project.
Examples:

• https://github.com/sbidy/pywizlight
• https://github.com/sbidy/wiz_light

I also built somehow an OpenAPI Spec using Online AI (Perplexity), not sure if it's 100% accurate, but it seems to be a good start.
WiZ-OpenAPI - v2.yml.txt
It's possible to easily browse it via Swagger Editor: https://editor.swagger.io/

How should this be implemented in your opinion?

It should be added as a new Hardware LED Instance / Controller Type: Network

Are you willing to work on this yourself?

I'm no Professional developer, but I can try.
I would need to learn the Hyperion-ng Code at first.
Anagorn did some effort a few years ago: https://hyperion-project.org/forum/index.php?thread%2F12411-connect-wiz-light-to-hyperion%2F=

@Z3r10 I am happy to provide you some guidance if you would like to take the endeavour providing Wiz Light support.
Experience tells that without sample devices at hand, it is hard to get an integration up and running (esp. if there is no official documentation). Therefore, I would not spend effort myself on this one...

You might want reaching out to the Wiz customer/sales team and check, if they would like to share some samples for integration development (and maybe the specs...). For other devices this worked out nicely before....

My best advice is to get a home assistant box and set up wiz that way. Then, just install the integration and you're good!

Yep, I though about that, as I already have HA running (with Hyperion integration of course 😁)
2 questions:

• HA does not seem to be supported in the latest Hyperion release, only in the nightly, right?
• I'm concerned about latency: would it be reactive by transiting through HA? My current WS2801 LED strip is really fast (I disabled smothing, I like it that way)

@Lord-Grey thanks for your feedback.
I currently have this one succesfully integrated in HA:

I could do some tests.

As said before, I'm okay with JSON API...but the hard part will be the Hyperion Code

I have no immediate time to spend on it at the moment, but I will keep this issue udpated.
