Python library for Yeelight Bedside lamp

This is an ongoing effort to create a python library for Yeelight's bedside lamp.

Patches are very welcome, if you intent to contribute, please do note that quite a lot of the protocol is already figured out but lacking an interfaces.

Currently supported features:

• State
• color mode (white, color, flow)
• Temperature
• Brightness

TBD:

• Sleep mode, wakeup mode, scheduling
• Flow mode
• Other features?

Usage

Try

$ yeelight --help

and

$ yeelight [command] --help

For debugging you can pass -d/--debug, adding it second time will also print out the debug from bluepy.

Finding supported devices

$ yeelightbt scan
Scanning for 5 seconds
Devices found:
  f8:24:41:xx:xx:xx (XMCTD_XXXX), rssi=-83

Reading status & states

To avoid passing --mac for every call, set the following environment variable:

export YEELIGHTBT_MAC=AA:BB:CC:11:22:33

$ yeelightbt

MAC: f8:24:41:xx:xx:xx
  Mode: LampMode.White
  Color: (0, 0, 0)
  Temperature: 5000
  Brightness: 50

$ yeelightbt temperature

Temperature: 5000

$ yeelightbt color 255 0 0
Setting color: 255 0 0

Homeassistant support

There is also a WIP Home Assistant component stored inside custom_components. Just copy the file over to your custom components directory and add the following into your config:

light:
  - platform: yeelight_bt
    devices:
      Bedside:
        mac: 'f8:24:41:xx:xx:xx'
