[Plugin now available in Beta] Help with Yeelight Bulb

[LouiS22]

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

That would be helpful, thanks

That would be helpful, thanks

I put the script at

Yeelight and Hue lights - use same settings

The code can be included with -

package.path = '/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/lua/?.lua;' .. package.path
YEE = require("Yee")

It can be run either from Domoticz Lua, or from a stand-alone Lua test script.
It should be able to support multiple lamps, but that's untested.
It uses a socket, but could probably use io.popen(url) instead to get the lamp's status.

Hi Westcott.
I am newbie. Can you help me how to use your script?
Explain it to me like I'm a five-year-old

[Westcott]

Hi Hekm77,
Thanks for your interest, but sorry to say I have not made a script.
What I have created is a library of functions that can be called from other Lua scripts.
It's intended for experienced users who do not need detailed instruction, and requires extra Lua libraries to be installed.

Thanks for the answer. But I'm learning and I want to understand. Where to get extra Lua libraries?

So guy, just a quick heads up. A while ago I asked the RGBW led's default color temperature. Well, I just installed the white only version and it seems that the RGBWs default (I mean when you install and first switch it on ) color temperature is exactly the same as the white ones (4000K). Might be useful information for someone don't need the color options but wants a decent (and not too cold white) wifi led.

We are working with Corbin on YeeLight ceiling bulb.
Domoticz got à exclusive feature : nightlight same as the YeeLight app.

Hi Guys,

Just got a Yeelight bulb from China and followed the wiki to add the controller hardware, scripts etc. The bulb is working fine and I can control it via the virtual Yeelight Dimmer en Temp switch/dimmer. But the bulb doesn't appear in the Devices tab. In the logging every minute the bulb is found (2017-03-05 21:10:13.709 YeeLight: New Light Found (192.168.2.110/YeeLight LED (Color))) but isn't added to the device list.

Somebody has the same experience or something else wrong ?

Thanks in advance

[deennoo]

Have you add it ? From device tab ? Click on the green arrow...À domoticz basic

[westd001]

That's the point, it doesn't show up in the device tab

[deennoo]

Even on not used one ?

[westd001]

No Yeelight devices at all

[corbin]

and other devices still add ok? what if you use the 'add light' button on the hardware page? also try with different ip for testing, ie 192.168.5.2

[westd001]

Other devices still add Ok, I made a few virtual switches to test the Yeelight with dimmer values and temperature via LUA scripts, that works fine.

After adding a "Yeelight test" bulb via the 'add light' button on the Yeelight controller at the hardware page no device appear in de device tab, in the log there is :

2017-03-06 20:42:09.925 YeeLight: New Light Found (192.168.2.5/Yeelight test),

further down the log file every minute he finds a new Yeeligth (with the correct IP adress and the default name) but still doesn't appear in the device tab:

2017-03-06 20:43:51.413 YeeLight: New Light Found (192.168.2.110/YeeLight LED (Color))

By the way, I use the last beta version of Domoticz.

Somebody knows a solution? or a workaround?

If not already said, it works with the Yeelight ceiling light, too. Thanks a lot for that!!!!

I did everything in the wiki, but changed the command for the white temperature color (Discussion page) to just change the color, but not the brightness.

EDIT
And had to change the color calculation.
CalcValue = ((DomValue-1) * 38)+2700;

[westd001]

I found the solution, Domoticz automatically finds my Yeelight but only add it to the device list when new hardware is enabled (for 5 minutes) lol

Hello i am a new to this domoticz thing but i have somehow managed to add my yeelight to my domoticz explorer and it is awesome but i have a question for you, how can i add a FLOW fuction? Can someone please explain it in more easy way?

Thank you so much.

[corbin]

Have you seen the examples on https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Yeelight# ... lb_Only.29?

should be simple to modify with the colour flow command, eg:

Code: Select all

{"id":1,"method":"start_cf","params":[ 4, 2, "1000, 2, 2700, 100, 500, 1, 255, 10, 5000, 7, 0,0, 500, 2, 5000, 1"]

Hello,

My 2 cents about an alternative method to control Yeelight bulbs from LUA.
I'm using yeecli ( https://pypi.python.org/pypi/yeecli ), via a system call :

Code: Select all

os.execute('/opt/bin/yeecli/cli.py --ip 10.0.0.2 -e smooth -d 500 rgb 007fce')
