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

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?

Do you have time to do it? Ill try to get my app updated and submit the pull request this weekend I don’t see a change before then.
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 am experiencing the same issue. How to correctly configure the transition for the yeelight bulb?

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,
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 … ?
i would rather leave that to someone who is more fluent in english. And for this comment google is my friend.
