how do I enable LAN Control in yeelight app and enable development mode

I have look all over the app and I don’t see where to do this

I wrote up some detailed instructions here. Not sure if they are still up to date.

Yeelight LED Bulbs (RGB and White Bulbs)

I have 7 yeelights now and have had them running for about 6 months. After a recent discussion on the GIT chat I thought I would put together some information on these bulbs. I encourage others to contribute their information also as I am certainly not the expert. Anyone reading the thread linked below might be turned off by the 300+ posts and give up trying to find some solid information. Hopefully this thread will provide some current information and some basic ‘how to’. Home Assistant …

Development mode is renamed to lan control.

Hmm, I saw the new app and was wondering if I needed to update the instructions. I don’t have rights to edit that post anymore though.

Maybe that should be changed in yeelight component page?

Editing the Documentation and Creating a Pull Request on Github

I have seen a number of people complain about the documentation at https://home-assistant.io/ (HA site). Great news! Everyone can edit it and provide improvements to the documentation. Next thing I likely see is that people don’t know how to create a pull request on Github. Great news! Here is a tutorial on how to do it. First go to https://github.com/ and sign up for an account. Its quick free and easy. If there is a need for a tutorial for this too, please post that feedback below. O…

I have version 3.0.03 and it does not have lan control

developement mode is turn on the phone in phone setting if that matters

[vladosam (Vladimir)]

My app is also 3.0.03. Is your firmware 1.4.1_48? And is your server Mainland China?

[Roystervi (Jenni0924*)]

the firmware is 1.2.4_18. just I just this from the android market ,
the server is the US

[vladosam (Vladimir)]

You must update bulb to newer firmware.

[Roystervi (Jenni0924*)]

I see that… am trying everything to upgrade the firmware but its not allowing me to update it… amusing the US firmware is that a factor?

[sparkydave (🇦🇺 Dave)]

[Roystervi (Jenni0924*)]

I am experiencing the same issue. How to correctly configure the transition for the yeelight bulb?

@moskovskiy82

Is there anyway to add support for the Xiaomi Philips Eyecare light?

Do you like to test a new / experimental version of the light.xiaomi_miio component?

Hi,

I had 5 yeelight bulbs connected to Hassio for awhile. They were all discovered automatically, I didn’t need to add anything in the config for them to appear in the front end.

But all of a sudden, all my bulbs disappeared from Hassio. They work correctly from the Yeelight app.

Can anyone tell me why they would suddenly disappear like this? I’m on Hassio 61.1.

Cheers,
Kaz

I have this problem

2018-02-14 18:52:42 ERROR (SyncWorker_16) [homeassistant.components.light.yeelight] Failed to connect to bulb 192.168.1.204, yeelight_rgb_286c0710xxxx: A socket error occurred when sending the command.

the code after yeelight_rgb is the MAC address, so it means HASSIO it DID connect (otherwise HASSIO how can know the mAc address of the yeelight bulb)?

My lights show unavailable … ?
