Yeelight - control from LUA

[manjh]

I just received my first Yeelight RGBW lamp.
First step was to test from the Yeelight app in Android: works fine.
But being a Domoticz addict, I took it to the next level and installed the Yeelight hardware. Before I did this I set the developer mode in the lamp, assigned a static IP address, and enabled the Yeelight hardware line in Domoticz.
Sure enough after a little while a new device showed up. I set the status to "used", and found a neat new device in the switches. With this I can switch on/off, set the color, and dimlevel. Great.

But the next step was not so successful: I created a little LUA script from the Wiki page. Removed a few little glitches, until it ran OK (or at least without error messages).
Still, whatever I do from the matching dummy dimmers, the lamp does not respond at all.

Any hints?

Just install the Yeelight HW line in Domoticz, and then after a few minutes check the devices tab. All yeelight devices that have been found must be enabled by clicking the green icon, after that a switch will show up and you can use the lamps directly or through a scene.
The problems that I found were in controlling from LUA.

I have same problem
I used lua one year but one week ago something happen and all my yeelight devices are not react to commands from lua events anymore
First I tried to interact with API trough node red - it works like before.
Second - I have downgraded my domoticz to release version - but still have same problem

I faced with the same problem. This happened after some IP reconfiguration, so Yeelight devices in Domoticz got a new ID numbers. I deleted script and created a new one - only after that Domoticz began use a new ID of the lamp (changing the script did nothing).

Be also sure to enable "LAN control" in the Yeelight app. Use static IP's for your lights. For me the script is working right. I followed the description.
