Yeelight Galaxy LED 450 & 650 - questions about integration

Configuration
1

Hello everyone.
I’m brand new in the world of HA, so please forgive me, if sth. is obvious for community, because for me - it isn’t. I’m still fresh in the process of learning and trying to comprehent all the tweaks and processes flows.

I’ve got two Yeelight ceiling lights - Galaxy LED 450 and 650
Both ofc have LAN control activated, both have static IP on my router.
HA didn’t discover them automatically for few days, so eventually I’ve added one of them in configuration.yaml, like that:

yeelight:
 devices:
   10.80.7.35:
     name: Yeelight 650
     model: ceiling4

After restart, 5 new entities appeared in my Entities, see: https://i.imgur.com/12gocv2.png

BUT! There was no Devices and no Integration… Entities only.

Questions then:

  1. Why second Yeelight was detected automatically, if I added only “650”? Why then they wasn’t detected both or even only “450”, without adding lines to yaml? Yes, I’m aware that I can add both lights in yaml, but how this happened?

[sorry, but I can put only 2 links in post]

  1. Why I’m not seeing Yeelight Integration in that tab? https://i.imgur.com/A6Cco6U.png
    There’s no Yeelight integration in search: https://i.imgur.com/IcGE5mZ.png
    Should I add custom integration in HACS?

  1. Why there’s no Yeelight lamps in Devices? https://i.imgur.com/q0hOzIo.png

  2. I can control main light and ambilight (in 650), but as two separate entities/cards. Does it works that way? Can it be somehow combined?

  3. I cannot control NightMode, I can only see status of it: https://i.imgur.com/0KVBW0M.png
    If I add sth like that, would it be working?

yeelight:
  devices:
    10.80.7.35:
      name: Yeelight 650
      model: ceiling4
      save_on_change: true
      nightlight_switch_type: light

i am wondering whether you have been able to resolve the issues with the nightlight. I also have the problem that I cannot control it, not from the dashboard and not even from a yaml file. i am trying to create a scene that would enable night mode, but not avail, tried to add night_light: true or mode: moonlight but the light is still in normal mode for some reason

edit: so the nightlight is a separate entity, in my case called binary_sensor.yeelight_ceiling3_0x000000000xxxxx_nightlight . however it seems binary_sensor types are read only and it’s not possible to change its state via home assistant. or is there?

Hi. Sorry for late reply.
Yes, it’s working for me flawlessly. The only thing is, that you have separate entities for “normal” light and “night” light for Yeelights. So if you turn on nightlight, normal light is switched off - and vice versa.

First, you need to add something similar to this to configuration:

yeelight:
  devices:
    192.xx.xx.xx:
      name: Yeelight 650
      model: ceiling4
      save_on_change: true
      nightlight_switch_type: light
    192.xx.xx.xx:
      name: Yeelight 450
      model: ceiling3
      save_on_change: true
      nightlight_switch_type: light

And then you need to add manually lights to your dashboard.
