WiZ UDP Code Generator

How do I use this code?

This code is designed to be used with WiZ lights. You can use this code with any tool that can send UDP packets.

In Bitfocus Companion:

Bitfocus Companion lets you use an Elgato Streamdeck to control your lights. Under devices, search for "Generic TCP and UDP Requests", and click add. Ignore the warning, Sean McNally has already made a feature request about it.

Here's how to find your bulb's IP address: in the Wiz app on your iOS or Android device, go to Settings > Lights > tap the i icon on the right hand side near the top, and note the IP address.

Enter this IP address into the Target IP field (should look like 192.168.1.XX) and set the port as 38899. Then choose UDP in the dropdown instead of TCP, and click save. Now, inside any button find your light's "Send Command" action, and enter the command above exactly as-is.

In Windows:

This example use the actual code you just generated, so you can copy and paste it directly!

If you have Nmap installed, you can change your lights by using the "Command" and "Target" fields, see Bitfocus guide above for how to find your light's IP address. After the IP, put :38899. You can also send commands from a .bat file or Command Prompt. However, in order for this to work, you'll need to add ncat to your system path.

Use the command below, which is properly formatted for command prompt on Windows using ncat:

{}

In MacOS or In Linux:

This example use the actual code you just generated, so you can copy and paste it directly!

macOS and Linux come with netcat installed, referred to by nc. We can use that to send our command to our light. The command here is slightly modified with escape characters so Terminal can properly recognize it. All you need to do is run this command, replacing the IP address with the one of the light you want to modify (port 38899 is always the same).

Use the command below, which is properly formatted for macOS and Linux terminals:

{}
