[Plugin now available in Beta] Help with Yeelight Bulb

[weiweipossible]

Hi all,

I'm a developer from Yeelight and I'm so glad that many people here like Yeelight bulbs!

Good to see you here

Actually it's you who bring me here!

[Derik]

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...

[corbin]

ok I will investigate further and hopefully get it stable.

its been running stable on my Linux VM and Windows, but just taking a guess there could be a memory leak that shows up faster on Raspberry Pi. (I'm very much a beginner with c++)

[farhanito]

Take your time.
What you're doing is great, I'm sure we'll get there.

Thanks

Holy sh!t corbin&weiweipossible! Does this also work on Yeelight led strips?

When you get the goed setting yes..
RGBW all the colors you want

Did you change something..
Now stable without a bulb in my lan

[corbin]

Nothing changed publicly as yet, But I have been testing on a Raspberry Pi image running in QEMU, seems stable but slow - don't know if that is normal with the VM or not.

Are you saying that when you have a Yeelight device added in Domoticz, but you then remove the physical bulb from your network, that it causes a problem?

Not yet, but it will support the strip light in the future.

[deennoo]

Ok thx will get one for lab office

Are you talking about the old BLE light strip? No, it doesn't.
If you are talking about our new WiFi light strip, yes it is. We have already released the strip in Chinese market, I believe you will get the strip very soon through some channel.

Besides that, all Yeelight further WiFi product will support the same open API.

Yes i added the hardware.[ on my CB2 [ like RPI ] ]
Test a bulb works oke.
Only when i remove the bulb in my lan, domoticz still crashing.
Yeelight hardware off, domoticz stable.

@ weiweipossible

Could you please make working Api ith a color, for a http action.
Like the hue script;

Code: Select all

curl -H "Accept: application/json" -X PUT --data '{"on": true,"bri": 500,"hue": 13088,"sat": 212,"xy": [0.5128,0.4147],"ct": 467,"alert": "none","effect": "none","colormode": "xy","reachable": true}' http://192.168.5.36/api/newdeveloper/lights/4/state

With this option the bulb is always 1 color..

You really got me startled with your comment so I had to double check what I had ordered and it luckily was WiFi strip...atleast seller says so . Anyway thumps up for this!

Sorry, I'm afraid we can't do that. We choose to implement the open API in a simple way (Restful API (what you asked for) is a bit heavier because you have to implement HTTP layer on top TCP. This is OK and suitable for a gateway or hub, but it's too heavy for a bulb).

Besides that, if we implement the same form of API, we may receive a letter from Philips' lawyer ... just like when we develop this bulb using the everyone-is-using PWM technique ...

[corbin]

Derik, can you put these commands in a bash script and then call from Domoticz? In a way it is better than using HTTP, and works in Linux.

sunrise (change IP address for bulb)

Code: Select all

echo -ne '{"id":1, "method":"start_cf", "params":[3,1,"50,1,16731392,1,360000,2,1700,10,540000,2,2700,100"]}\r\n' | nc -w1 192.168.5.14 55443

turn on and set to color (change 65280 to the color you want)

Code: Select all

echo -ne '{"id":1,"method":"set_scene", "params": ["color", 65280, 70]}\r\n' | nc -w1 192.168.5.14 55443

mm
Did make a dummy for the scriptcommand
Changed your ip to my ip [ ido have the 5 range to ]
Did make the file:

ScreenShot063.jpg (28.88 KiB) Viewed 2768 times

Dit put the script:

ScreenShot067.jpg (55.93 KiB) Viewed 2768 times

did make the xxx on the right place:

ScreenShot065.jpg (55.53 KiB) Viewed 2768 times

The light is working with his own switch correct..

Only when i push the dummy switch with the script there is no thing happening...

[farhanito]

Does the script works in terminal? Maybe nc isn't installed
