[Plugin now available in Beta] Help with Yeelight Bulb

[superczar]

Isn't the value for otherdevices_svalues numeric?
In any case, the code is practically as -is from the wiki

[corbin]

see what value is returning for DomValue with "print(DomValue)":

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}
DomDevice = 'White Temp Yeelight';
IP = '192.168.5.14';
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];   
     print(DomValue)
   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

[Westcott]

Perhaps it should be -
DomValue = tonumber(otherdevices_svalues[DomDevice])

[superczar]

@westcott - Making the change you suggested eliminated the string vs number error
However the dimmer for white temperature control still doesn't work (as in the dimmer is set at 0% and cannot be moved)

Here is the code from the wiki

Code: Select all

 commandArray = {}
DomDevice = 'nameofyourdummyselectorsetasdimmer';
IP = 'youryeelightip';
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 

(have obviously changed the DomDevice Name and bulb IP)

Any idea what could be wrong

Domoticz does not support dimming for X10 switches.
Create a switch from the hardware/dummy page, edit this switch, make it a dimmer

This allowed me to add a working dimmer slider, however I'm still having an issue setting the "TempValue", still researching but will post back here if I need my own help (which is likely, as I'm an idiot!)

[airmarshall]

If it's of use to anyone I managed to fix my issue, which was eventually everything seemingly working with the wiki scripts yet nothing actually happening on the bulb.

I had to remove 'sudo' from the commands, hence:

Code: Select all

runcommandoff = "echo -ne '{\"id\":1,\"method\":\"set_power\", \"params\":[\"off\", \"smooth\", 500]}\\r\\n' | nc -w1 " ..IP.." " ..PORT.."";;

Probably OS specific, I'm running domoticz through a docker on an unraid server.

IS there anyway I can check/test the polling is working? If I switch the light off with the Temp Slider switch OR the Dimmer Switch, the other switch and the RGB Switch never update to being OFF etc....??

Have you set on the lamp app developer mode?

Hello. I am havign status update problems too.
If I switch lamp ON or OFF with domoticz, the status if updated correctly.
If I switch the lamp off using the main power switch on the wall, the domoticz status remain ON.

How can I have the domoticz status to reflect the power status?

[madrian]

I have same question as chrispazz. It is possible to update bulb state if I do a manual (hardware) power cycle?

Second question is: the script from the Wiki is not working right: this script turn Bulb OFF if you set the dimmer to 0% or click on OFF --> this is not working. Is there a fix for this?

[madrian]

Running manually OFF command:

$ sudo echo -ne '{\"id\":1,\"method\":\"set_power\", \"params\":[\"off\", \"smooth\", 500]}\\r\\n' | nc -w1 192.168.1.82 55443

does nothing. Maybe the api was changed?

[Max5962]

This issues still exist !
There is a githup to report it ?
All we need is to mark the bulb as off if it was power off by the wall switch thanks

[joys]

Hi, I have the same problem. If I switch off from the electric wall switch, the Domoticz report the yeelight is On. Also, if I first switch off yeelight from Domoticz and some second later I switch off wall switch, after few second Domoticz set yeelight to On state.

I explain my scenario better. On the same line, controlled by a wall switch, I have both normal and yeelight bulbs. Actually the wall switch can also be controlled by Domoticz (I've created a switch dummy that runs on / off scripts when triggered). with blocky I created an event that when the wall switch goes off, the two Yeelight lamps are put in off and then the off wall switch script is executed. I entered a delay of 5 seconds in the off script that turns off the line.

[madrian]

Anyone?

[Max5962]

With that bugs the plugins is almost useless for read-only users : for the moment I using it in order to know if I forgot to power off lights
Please if the bulb is offline, set the value to OFF

[corbin]

anyone volunteer to make the changes to the code?

[joys]

I found a workaround for my experience. I have set a sleep time of 120sec to my switch off scrip for wall switch relay. So when I switch off the relay from Domoticz, the blocky events power off Yeelight, Domoticz acquire off status of yeelight (thake about 90sec to do it) and finally the line go off.

[Max5962]

Thanks for the workaround, but not usefull for me : "read only" (no wall switch connected to domoticz).

Dear All.

Is there perhaps someone that have the "new" app working from the yeelight bulb?
In the old app new how to set the bulb in developermode..
Only i cannot fin this in the new app...

Hope there is some one smarter then myself:-)

thanks

[Max5962]

I'm developing a lua script in order to update Yeelight device as OFF if there do not respond to ping twice.

EDIT my script works. but if i power on my yeelight ( with wall switch or by the yeelight app ) the state is not updated in the app
any one avec the same issues ?

by the way i'm using docker

How to go developermode in the Yeelight app.

Select the light
In the right down corner (Ios App) there is a triangle with a line below, select that.
The you see LAN Beheer (With be named differently in the English app)
Select that and you can enable/dsiable develop mode
