| Anthem MLX SLM | Requested | Open PR adds LED brightness handling for this 2025 modelSaved copyThe MLX SLM released in 2025 has a few nuances that set it apart from other models. GCLEDB replaces GCFPB as it only has an LED not a Front Panel. LED has four brightness settings (0,40,80,100) so this handles input, rounds and sets to 0,33,66,100 brightness. Only one Zone is supported, so Zone 2 setup now checks for active zones Input names from MRX SLM come in as hex, which requires conversion. Not sure if this was not needed in other models. So only converting MRX input names. Everything appears to be working as expected with these updates, without breaking changes. Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22. | PR #22 · 2026-01 |

In ReReHome
Whatever this plugin publishes reaches Apple Home as a normal HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
Bridges get their own settings page listing the accessories behind them.
Caveats from the README
