Lights

Every amaran and Aputure light that the amaran app can pair speaks the same Bluetooth mesh and the same light commands. amble-home drives those commands, so what matters is not the model but whether the light is a Sidus Mesh light and what it can do. The full model-by-model table is docs/fixtures.md in the repository, generated from the amaran app's own fixture tables (94 fixtures at the time of writing).

What amble-home maps

From the app	In Home Assistant
On/off	on/off
Intensity	brightness
CCT (color temperature)	color temperature, within the fixture's own range
HSI (hue, saturation, intensity)	color, on fixtures that have it
Green/magenta	a number from −10 to +10, on fixtures that have it
the light's current state	read back and shown, about every 15 seconds

Not mapped, on purpose: effects (fire, lightning, paparazzi and the rest), presets, gels, xy color, per-pixel or partition control on tubes and bars, and anything motorized. Those stay in the amaran app; Home Assistant scenes cover the looks you want to recall. A pixel light is driven as one color.

Tested

These fixtures have been driven from Home Assistant through amble-home with their state read back.

amaran T4c (two units)	color (HSI), tube	in the author's studio daily since 2026-10-27
amaran P60c	color (HSI), panel	the bench fixture: on/off, brightness, CCT, color, green/magenta, status read-back
amaran Verge Max	bi-color (CCT), panel	imported through the account door; on/off, brightness and CCT read back

Should work

Any light in the amaran app's tables with the same capability flags as a tested one. The protocol does not change per model; only the flags do. That covers the COB lights (the 60/100/200/300 d, x, c and S series, Halo, Ray), the panels, the tubes (T series), the LED mats (F series), the Accent series, and the Aputure families the app knows (Light Storm, Electro Storm, Nova, INFINIBAR, INFINIMAT, Storm). The repository table lists each one as Expected, with what it maps.

A handful of models have no capability entry in the app's table (Unknown in the repository table, 14 at the time of writing). For those the box falls back to on/off and brightness.

If you run a light that is not in the Tested table, please say so on an issue: the model, what you drove from Home Assistant, and what read back. It moves the row to Tested.

Lights the box cannot drive

This section is research, not test results. It comes from Aputure's and amaran's own documentation; nothing here has been tried.

• Lights without a Sidus Mesh radio. Aputure's support pages say Sidus Link controls "all Aputure and amaran lights since the release of the LS 300dII" (2019). Lights older than that generation carry no Bluetooth mesh at all, only a 2.4 GHz remote or nothing: the first-generation Light Storm 120d, 120t and 300d, the amaran AL-series panels (AL-528, AL-H198, AL-M9, AL-MX, AL-MW, Tri-8 and the like), and the HR672 family. They cannot be paired in the amaran app, so they cannot be imported, so amble-home cannot see them. There is no workaround.
• The Sidus Link Bridge (discontinued) is a Wi-Fi to mesh gateway for the Sidus Link app, not a light; amble-home neither needs it nor talks to it.
• Lights paired only in Sidus Link. amble-home reads your mesh from the amaran app's account or database. amaran says every Sidus Mesh light pairs with the amaran app and that an existing Sidus Link setup can be brought across; do that first, then import. Features that exist only in Sidus Link (motorized yokes, electronic mounts) are not mapped either way.
• Lights not on your mesh. A light the app shows but that is powered off, switched to a different Bluetooth mode, or paired to another account's mesh is imported but shown as never heard. Check the light's own Bluetooth setting (Sidus BT on) and that it answers in the app.
