ELK-BLEDOM FastLink v1.3.13
🚀 ELK-BLEDOM FastLink v1.3.13
🌈 Brightness Mode Selector
- Added a new brightness control mode selector with three options:
- AUTO – automatically detects if the controller supports native brightness commands.
- RGB – uses RGB channel scaling for brightness emulation.
- NATIVE – sends the original BLE brightness command (
0x04 0x01 <percent>).
- Introduced a new Select entity in Home Assistant for switching modes directly from the UI.
- Instantly reconnects when the mode changes — no need to reload the integration.
⚙️ Smart Auto Fallback
- In AUTO mode, the integration now first tries native brightness and automatically falls back to RGB if the device doesn’t support it.
→ Fixes the issue where brightness stayed unchanged on certain RGBIC LED strips.
🔁 Improvements & Stability
- Added automatic reconnect after mode change or BLE disconnect.
- Faster reconnection during Home Assistant startup.
- Optimized async state file I/O (
.storage/elkbledom_fastlink_state.json). - Improved overall BLE write stability and error handling.
- Expanded config options — you can now manage brightness mode directly from integration settings.
🌍 New Translations
- Added full localization support for 17 languages:
🇺🇸 English, 🇷🇺 Russian, 🇪🇸 Spanish, 🇫🇷 French, 🇵🇱 Polish, 🇸🇰 Slovak, 🇹🇷 Turkish, 🇺🇦 Ukrainian, 🇨🇿 Czech, 🇩🇪 German, 🇮🇹 Italian, 🇳🇱 Dutch, 🇧🇷 Portuguese (BR), 🇸🇪 Swedish, 🇩🇰 Danish, 🇳🇴 Norwegian, 🇨🇳 Simplified Chinese, 🇯🇵 Japanese, 🇰🇷 Korean.
🧩 Compatibility
- Fully compatible with all ELK-BLEDOM / MELK / LEDBLE controllers.
- Tested with Home Assistant 2025.10+ and Bleak ≥ 0.22.
💡 If your LED controller reacts only to native brightness commands — switch to Native mode in the Select entity or integration options.
