I have the same issue. Every 5min i get a log warning with almost the same identical line:
“Unknown miio device found: ServiceInfo(type=’_miio._udp.local.’, name=‘yeelink-light-bslamp1_mibt75384155._miio._udp.local.’, address=…”
It is auto-discovered as an entity called “light.yeelight_unknown_7811xxxxxxx” and works perfectly, except the warnings are clogging up the log file.
Would be nice if we can use the bluetooth on this as a presence detection. I’m sure folks would jump on it’s as there is currently not much bluetooth presence detection supported which has huge impact on the server.
I would really love to use bluetooth as presence detection.
I am not really sure, because all these wifi/bluetooth devices (I have 2 bedside lamps and the ceiling light) are quite often unavailable for no reason
My Xiaomi lamp was showing ok a few weeks ago in my front end, and I remember I used the front end on my mobile to change the colour and brightness etc and was quite pleased with it.
I’ve noticed lately that it was showing as “unavailable”. Being new to Hassbian, I assumed it meant that it was because the lamp was turned off but now realise that it means it can’t see it.
I can still operate the lamp via Google Home voice control, eg “Turn off bedside lamp” etc, so unsure why it can’t see it.
Any ideas of how I get Hassbian to control the lamp again? I’ve checked the Mi App and there was a firmware for the lamp, so I updated it. I then asked Google Home to sync my devices. The Mi App allows me to control the lamp and as mentioned, I can control it via Google Home via voice.
here is a lan control setting in the Yeelight App. Looks like a ^ with = under it. In that menu is an option called LAN control - make sure it is on. You must have enabled that to be able to control it in the first place.
The MiHome App only recently had native Google Assistant support. Previously you had to use the Yeelight app to connect it to the Singapore Server and have native GA support whereas the MiHome App would work on China server and wouldn’t work with GA.
I use SIngapore for Yeelights and China for some Xiaomi plugs I have. Could use China for both now I suppose but the thing is, you only get the LAN control option in the Yeelight app. With the Xiaomi Plugs, to use then with HA, you have to get the token etc.
I think I recognise you from Whirlpool, (I am Big Kahuna over there)
So I like the Google Assistant native support so it works even if HA is for some reason unavailable (not an issue anymore)
I bought a Smart Power Plug but it will only complete the set up if I chose China as the setting. Unfortunately, even with English as my language, the interface for the power switch is in Chinese.
So currently I’m not using it. I bought it as the other Smart Power switch I have is the Aeotec one but costs twice as much.
Well I recently re did my HA setup from scratch but now I can’t add this lamp as the app no longer has the option to turn on LAN control.
Not sure if it’s related but Google Home no longer sees the lamp has the ability to change colour. All it will allow me to do is change the brightness and turn it on or off. I have to use either the Mi Home app or the Yeelight App to change colours which is a pita when I use to be able to just use voice control.
As you can see from the screenshots, the bulbs still have LAN control in the app and Google Home can see that you can change colours, but with my Bedside Lamp, it now longer has LAN control in the Yeelight app (and in the Mi Home app), nor does Google Home think the lamp has the colour changing functionality.
I might have to see if I can find a way to downgrade it’s firmware as I suspect a firmware update removed this
