OpenBridge WiZ Local

Last updated 11 Nov 2026

Control WiZ bulbs locally over UDP through Apple HomeKit. No cloud, no account, and no broadcast discovery to lose them behind.

Where to start ​

OpenBridge Native ​

A native platform plugin, so bulbs appear as real devices with real health rather than through a compatibility shim.

100% Local UDP ​

Talks straight to each bulb on port 38899. No cloud servers, no account, no internet dependency, no latency.

No Discovery To Fail ​

Every bulb is declared with its address, so a mesh that drops broadcast frames cannot make your lights disappear.

Honest Status ​

A bulb that stops answering says so, with the reason attached, instead of quietly reporting itself as switched off.

Colour And White ​

Hue, saturation and colour temperature on RGBTW bulbs, clamped to the range the hardware actually accepts.

Changes Show Up ​

A light switched at the wall or in the WiZ app is pushed to HomeKit on the next poll, not the next time something reads it.
