[Plugin now available in Beta] Help with Yeelight Bulb

[ErikJ]

I have a question for the people this is still crashing for, I just want to confirm something - Did you only add the Yeelight hardware and do nothing else in Domoticz? ie control the lights with scripts or try to turn the lights on/off from Domoticz GUI when they have been physically unplugged?

Hi, I only add in the tab 'hardware' the option 'Yeelight LED'. The bulb is already plugged-in the power socket and controlled by the Yeelight app. but within a minute Domoticz crashes. Domoticz will also not discover the buld, ore have the time to discover it because of the crashes.

I don’t use any scripts. I use some different hardware in Domoticz: AEON Zwave stick, RFXcom 868, RFXcom 433, Nest, Kodi control and Philips Hue.
I Also tested it with the Nest, Kodi and Hue disabled, but still the same problem.

In the package center by the Domoticz the last line in the log is:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range'
what(): basic_string::substr: __pos (which is 18446744073709551615) > this->size() (which is 84)

Thanks ErikJ, that makes it quite obvious what the problem should be, and if so is already handled in my new code so it at least won't crash!

The latest beta should now be crash free.

Your browser may have cached older files, a simple way around it is to use a browser or computer that hasn't accessed the older version of Domoticz.

EDIT: I'm having the same problem, can choose YeeLight LED from new hardware, but nothing happens when adding it.

Now I can add the lamps but in iOs Home app can't change color only luminosity

[woody4165]

I can add as HW (after clearing cache in the broswer).
I can add the device, but the device is not been added. I get the success message "Light created...."
But I don't see in the device list.

Hi, I have found this plugin for homebridge, It works like a charm and if I pull off dc power to the bulb domoticz doesn't crash... I wish this could help you with some code..

Code: Select all

https://github.com/vvpossible/homebridge_yeelight

I'm maintaining this plugin . Are you saying current domoticz with yeelight-plugin is not stable enough? Maybe I can take a look and provide some help.

Something is broken because if I don't have this homebridge-plugin homebridge works like a charm...
If I install, for some time it work but then something goes wrong and make home bridge in fail state... I wish this could be helpful

Works perfect now, Thanks!!

Even after latest beta update, 3.5868, I'm still unable to add the light.

I can add as HW (after clearing cache in the browser).
The I add the device, with proper IP address and RGBW and I get a success message.

The device has not been added and I don't see it in the list

But I don't see in the device list.
Version: 3.5864

Lamp fw is 1.4.1_45

Can someone help me?

Thanks

PS: Maybe I have to clean the domoticz DB? In this case, what is the procedure?

Yes it could well be the database as the way a Yeelight is stored is slightly different now. For Windows I use http://www.sqliteexpert.com/download.html to edit the database, and it is the DeviceStatus table that you can delete them from.

But, removing the Yeelight hardware and then adding again should clear out the devices as well.

[woody4165]

maybe I forgot that it's needed to allow new devices to be clicked in Settings.
I don't know why I thought was not necessary...
Thanks!!

One more thing is there a way to know the status of the lamp since I can turn on via domoticz and off via yeelight app ?

[corbin]

It should be updating the status, but with up to 1 minute delay as it polls once a minute. Only for on/off and brightness.

There is an update coming that will update status the same way the Yeelight app does, so will be almost real time.

Thanks @corbin!
