Yeelight led ceiling light compatible with HA

Hardware
202

Hi, tried to sift through this topic to find the answer, but I where unable to find a (working) solution.

I have 3 yeelight ceiling lights (these: https://www.yeelight.com/en_US/product/luna) which I have setup in Hass.io as a yeallight like:

- platform: yeelight
  devices:
    192.168.2.72:
      name: Kantoor links 1
      transition: 1500
      save_on_change: True
    192.168.2.73:
      name: Kantoor links 2
      transition: 1500
      save_on_change: True
    192.168.2.71:
      name: Kantoor rechts
      transition: 1500
      save_on_change: True

The problems I am encountering are:

  1. The light will not dimm properly. It’s bright trough very bright, but dimming it all the way won’t work.
  2. I can not use the moonlight feature
  3. Setting the color temperature is extremely cumbersome. I can not find the right values to emulate the way it works with the included remote.

Can somebody point me towards a working configuration that solves these issues?

KInd regards,

MIchel

Hello! Any updates ons this? I have the Yeelight 650 and it works but:

  • Ambilight RGB is not working.
  • It comes unavailable several times a day.

Thank you!

We have 1 Luna and 3 other Ceiling lights, availability is not an issue since I assigned fixed IP to them in the DHCP. Is your wifi stable enough? 2.4 GHz can get quite congested. You should make sure the lamp is on the latests firmware (upgrade with the yeelight app).

The ambient RGB support would need more work, and I don’t have the time right now to implement it.

206

Regarding your second point: I’m planning to implement moonlight functionality by remapping the brightness slider: 1-10% in home assistant maps to moonlight mode 1-100%, and 11-100% would map to normal mode 1-100%. It’s not too hard to do, I’m just busy with other projects these days.

@mouth4war when it should be available in beta/stable branch?

210

Umm…soon? Sorry, I’m not sure about the exact dates.

211

Sounds great but wont moonlight mode restrict color temperature changing? So in your implementation 1-10% brightness = moonlight mode = fixed color temperature (warm).

Hi, @syssi can you help me please with my yeelight.

I have this problem, these errors are in the homeassistant.log

and homeassistant discovery services seems this

Thank you for every advice.

213

Which HA version do you use? It looks like your python-yeelight version is outdated:

# shutdown homeassistant first
su - homeassistant
source /srv/homeassistant/bin/activate
pip3 install -U yeelight
# and may be
pip3 install -U homeassistant
# start homeassistant again
214

@syssi you’re the best, thank you, everything works.

216

Is there a way to check what mode the light is in (mainly interested in moonlight) from state attibutes or do I have to implement an input boolean?

217

You cannot even query it as far as I know. The yeelight module (as of today, with 0.80.1) don’t expose the necessary internal variables.

218

Anyone knows how to make a switch to toggle moon/normal mode?

219

Not really i´m interested if some figured this out. But i use a Workaround which works pretty well for me.
I created a Script to switch the Lamp to Moonlight Mode. If you want to switch back you just have to change the Light Temperature. The brightness Silder Works from 0-100 in each Mode for itself.

wohnzimmermoon:
  alias: Wohnzimmer Moon Mode
  sequence:
  - service: light.yeelight_set_mode
    data:
      entity_id: light.insert-your-light-here
      mode: moonlight

Hope this helps you.

220

I made a separate template switch for moonlight mode only that looks at an input boolean. Will do a writeup in the wiki in the next few days

Thanks, it’s working for single light, but not for group:

entity_id: light.yeelight_lights_1

Group I have defined like:

light:
      - platform: group
        name: Yeelight Lights 1
        entities:
          - light.yeelight_ceiling_7c49ebb
          - light.yeelight_ceiling_7c49ebb
          - light.yeelight_ceiling_7c49ebb
222

Yeah, pleast post an example.

223

Are your lights all named the same ? I just have one yeelight so i can´t test how the behavior of my Script is with more than one. Maybe you create a normal Group. Group Tutorial
