RGB Yeelight not available (other one is)

Configuration
1

Hey guys,

I’m having an issue with one of my Yeelights. It becomes unavailable, and have no idea what’s wrong. LAN control is enabled, another Yeelight is working flawless and I re-IP’d from the router (fixed IP). A wireless repeater is about 1 meter away (initially thought it was wifi issues). It does show a high ping though…

Any advice appreciated.

Yeelight, repeater and HA is not a good combination. The repeater might be the problem, did you try without?

Can’t really try without. I only use repeaters in my house since the router is in a cabinet and has very limited range. The other Yeelight works fine with the a similar repeater (Fritzbox 1750).

P.S. All repeaters are hardwired.

Ok, just asking the obvious; did you upgrade the firmware, is it the same as the other one which is working? Any messages in the log?

5

Asking the even more obvious, have you tried just turning the power on and off?

On @sjee’s point, if you upgrade the firmware you need to turn local control back on again each time.

Hey guys,

Here’s what I did:

  • Power off / on multiple times
  • Removed and re-added to Yeelight app (it’s controllable from the app without issues) and enabled LAN control
  • Gave new IP
  • Put next to repeater
  • Removed and re-added to Hass

So, yeah I guess the basic trouble shooting was performed :slight_smile:

You didn’t didn’t mention local control though which implies maybe not :slight_smile:

How are the repeaters configured?

Only asking because I had a nightmare time with a Fritz 7590 and a 7340 as a repeater when I used mesh mode… I think there might have been issues with the beta firmware on the 7590 as I was having a lot of wifi problems.

In the end, I set the repeater (hardwired) to a different SSID and that was the end of my problems (as well as new beta firmware I suspect). My thought was some devices were getting confused and connecting to the access point that was further away or connecting/disconnecting etc… using a different SSID worked so much better…

I’m also using discovery for the yeelights and that works fine as well.

What do you mean? It’s right there ;)…

Just kidding. Did an edit :smiley:

I was suspecting this as well, but I don’t use mesh mode (yet) and I confirmed it’s connecting to the correct (closest) access point.

Potentially looked like a network issue after all. Had to reboot my router for some unrelated issues and since the reboot it works like a charm.
