ok ! white temp for mono is 4000k

I know that But what about RGBW default white?

[LouiS22]

Guys, a quick help needed.

Does anyone know the default color temperature of the RGBW bulb (I mean the one when I first switch it on)? I'd like to compare it with the white only one (which is 4000k). If it's the same, then I could use the white only (cheaper one ) bulbs in certain places.

Thanks in advance!

You can set your own Default color/temperature that the RGBW bulb uses on startup. It remembers the settings. The White only is really white, and I only use it in hallways

I ordered two of them, will compare it visually. At last I could use them in hallways like you did.

Hi LouiS22,
I've got 2 RGBs that I use as warning, welcome, and night lights.
They flash different colours depending on the warning.
All controlled from Lua.

Your welcome to update the wiki if you got some cool feature scene with your yeelight rgbw,

dear...
Looks the Yeelight is killing my Domoticz....
When i remove the light in my lan domoticz is crashing....
And it is turning in to a loop of crashes.

Yeelight hardware off, domoticz stable...

I'm still having problems with that. (on Raspberry and Synology) I have my Yeeligght bulbs connected via DHCP. That could mean that they have a different ip every day. I can't bind them over a mac address since my router doesn't support that (max 10 bindings) and I have 12 bulbs and some other stuff what needs a fixed ip. This also means I have new hardware every day when the ip has changed and existing hardware (since the ip is not connected anymore) does no longer exist. This causes every day a system hang up. Is there a possibility to connect to the yeelights with help of the mac address?

Hope you can do something for me. For the rest I like the lights and the interface to Domoticz very much!! Thanks for all the efforts you put in it.

[deennoo]

Juste change your router for a Real one and remove your toy

Is there a possibility to connect to the yeelights with help of the mac address?

It was originally coded based on the hardware address of the light, but we changed to storing the IP address as it works better with Domoticz that way. It is better to have static IPs so that scripts can address the lights as well. I think your best solution is to get another router as suggested by deennoo.

Thanks for your answer, I will invest in a new one

deennoo, thanks for your job.
1. I added dummy selector switch 'Test' and set it as a dimmer on switch page.
2. I created LUA script from the Wikis example.

Spoiler: show

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}
DomDevice = 'Test';
IP = '192.168.0.24';
PORT = '55443'
 
if devicechanged[DomDevice] then
   if(devicechanged[DomDevice]=='Off') then 
     DomValue = 0;
     runcommandoff = "sudo echo -ne '{\"id\":1,\"method\":\"set_power\", \"params\":[\"off\", \"smooth\", 500]}\\r\\n' | nc -w1 " ..IP.." " ..PORT.."";;
     os.execute(runcommandoff);
   else
     DomValue = otherdevices_svalues[DomDevice];   
   CalcValue = ((DomValue-1) * 48)+1700;
   end
   if CalcValue==nil then CalcValue=0 end
     runcommand = " sudo echo -ne '{\"id\":1, \"method\":\"set_scene\",\"params\":[\"ct\"," .. CalcValue .. ", 75]}\\r\\n' | nc -w1 " ..IP.." " ..PORT.."";
   os.execute(runcommand);
   print(runcommand)
   print("Color Temp= "..CalcValue);
end
return commandArray

But I have an error in the log.

Code: Select all

2017-02-11 09:34:03.300  Error: EventSystem: in Test: [string "commandArray = {}..."]:6: attempt to index global 'devicechanged' (a nil value)

Can you help me?

Have you changed the ip and the port to yours?

[hekm77]

Have you changed the ip and the port to yours?

Yes, of course. In the script my IP and Port.
I can change the White Teperature, but have an error in the log.

yes i can help, you didn't read all the wiki...

Have you change the lua script Type to "device" from "all" ?

You're a magician. Thank you.
Sorry, English is not my language.

Mine not too

Hi,
I've enabled the yeelight controller. The log files shows:

Code: Select all

2017-02-19 17:57:12.198 YeeLight: New Light Found (192.168.10.7/YeeLight LED (Color))

For some reason the led light is not listed under my devices.

I've added a bulb manually, but that's not listed under devices aswell.
I've removed the controller, added it again.. still the same problem.

Updated to the latest beta, still not listed under devices. Am i missing something?

[LouiS22]

Is it possible to control groups (for ex: 4 bulbs simultaneously) with the script posted on domoticz wiki?

I struggled with the same in the begining. The solution was simple as the wiki stated: You first need to enable developer mode on your bulbs through the Yeelight Android or iOS App

[bertbigb]

Is it possible to control groups (for ex: 4 bulbs simultaneously) with the script posted on domoticz wiki?

I do that with something like:

Code: Select all

--YEELIGHT
    -- port number for the yeelights
    PORT = '55443'
    --IP adresses of the bulbs involved, 
    local IPs = {'192.168.2.80', '192.168.2.81', '192.168.2.82', '192.168.2.83', '192.168.2.84', '192.168.2.85'}
    
	function YeelightOff()
		--command Yeelight Off
		for n,IP in pairs(IPs) do
			runcommandYeelight = "sudo echo -ne '{\"id\":"..n..",\"method\":\"set_power\", \"params\":[\"off\", \"smooth\", 500]}\\r\\n' | /opt/bin/nc -w1 " ..IP.." " ..PORT.."";
			os.execute(runcommandYeelight)
		end
    end	
    
    
	function YeelightTemperature(WhiteYee, DimYee, DurationYee)
		--Yeelight part
		for n,IP in pairs(IPs) do
		    --runcommandYeelight = "sudo echo -ne '{\"id\":1,\"method\":\"set_scene\",\"params\":[\"ct\", " .. WhiteYee .. "," .. DimYee .. "]}\\r\\n' | nc -w1 " ..IP.." " ..PORT.."";
			--runcommandYeelight = "sudo echo -ne '{\"id\":1,\"method\":\"set_ct_abx\",\"params\":[" .. WhiteYee .. ",\"smooth\","..DurationYee.."]}\\r\\n' | nc -w1 " ..IP.." " ..PORT.."";
			runcommandYeelight ="sudo echo -ne '{\"id\":"..n..",\"method\":\"start_cf\",\"params\":[1,1,\"" ..DurationYee..",2,"..WhiteYee..","..DimYee.."\"]}\\r\\n' | /opt/bin/nc -w1 " ..IP.." " ..PORT.."";
			if debug then print(runcommandYeelight) end
			os.execute(runcommandYeelight)
		end
	end	

Then you call such a function like:
YeelightOff() or something like YeelightTemperature(WhiteYeeValue, DimYeeValue, DurationYeeValue)

The function will run for all IP's in the list IPs
Hope this helps you.
If you want i can share the complete scripts if that is more helpful
