i haven’t find the integrations for this model: http://www.gearbest.com/smart-home/pp_197251.html?wid=21
and i have find this code: https://github.com/leopck/Yee-Light-Blue , but my know is not enough to create the plugin.
thanks to all.
Yeelight blue is a different product (http://www.gearbest.com/smart-home/pp_159352.html) than this bed side lamp, I’m not sure if they even communicate with the same protocol. Anyways, I’m receiving my bedside lamp soon I hope, and my plans are integrate it someway or another to homeassistant.
Hi find this reverse engineering hope that useful
https://github.com/Marcocanc/node-mi-lamp/blob/master/notes.md
thanks
Thanks for the link, it was indeed helpful! There’s now a project here for this lamp: https://github.com/rytilahti/python-yeelightbt – any help (patches, implementing more features) is very welcome 
it has not yet been battle-tested for very long time, so it may not yet be suitable for regular use.
In anycase, patches & bug reports are welcome!

Hello, do I need to install the whole python-yeelightbt repo?
I’m getting an error of no such file and directory. The README says I need to go to the bluepy directory but the installation immediately deletes it after failure.
I wanted to install this so I could check my bedside’s bluetooth mac address. IT doesn’t show up on the yeelight app nor phone’s bluetooth scan.
Here’s the error:

If you look at the error, it says that you are missing glib.h -> you need to install glib’s development package to get those header files for compilation. But if it isn’t detected by the app, it probably won’t be detected by this component either.
thanks!, that did the trick. However, I couldn’t do any scan since it requires the MAC address. the debug option doesn’t produce any verbose logs.
root@mxs-rpi01:~# yeelightbt scan
Usage: yeelightbt [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
Error: Missing option "--mac".You can try to put --mac ‘’ for now to make it work, I suppose. I’ll fix that later.
Thanks. Tried that and it goes to scan mode but crashes:

Did you give those extra permissions as shown in the README to bluepy-helper (which is located in /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/bluepy/ in your setup I think)? You may try yeelightbt --mac ‘’ -dd scan to get more debug output to locate the problem.
I really wanted to get this lamp but I’m not dealing with bluetooth… why didn’t they make it WIFI too!!!
This was one of their first products I think, their new ceiling lamp has both bluetooth and wifi. So far I’m not having big problems with bluetooth although wifi would be easier to handle indeed.
Hi @teprrr,
Just tried your scripts in hass.io (ha v0.55) and do get following error:

Do you have any tips what might the issue be or in which direction to dig?
Thank you, Alex
You are missing yeelightbt package, which is not currently available from pip. Here’s how to install it: https://github.com/rytilahti/python-yeelightbt#installation
So with some hit and trial I managed to load all scripts in hassio. Also found the mac using a scanner. After first configuration it did not want to connect saying about some weird response from bluetooth device. But on second reboot of HA it worked. Thanks for help. Next IR is on the list…
@teprrr btw, they still produce new devices based on bluetooth. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1726969603/yeelight-candela-the-smart-mood-candlelight Ordered 2 of those, so will see how they work with HA once delivered.
Yeah, I’m waiting for my Candelas to arrive, too! According to their developers the API will be similar, so adding a support (if not working directly) should be quite easy. At that point I will upload a more complete implementation and try to get this merged to homeassistant directly.

Even though that the lamp is working now the log is still full of following exception:

Does it sound familiar to you?
The component is so old, that HA’s API has changed at some point. I suppose it should read self.schedule_update_ha_state() now, can you change and check if that helps?

Yep, did the trick.
Hi @Stewface,
Today yeelight anounced new bedside lamp with wifi and ble.
