Yeelight Unavailable every ~5min

Configuration
,
1

Hi,

I have started having problem with my yeelight bulb and led-strip, they get unavailable a short period 30sek maybe every 5-10min and then gets available again. They do lan-mode enabled. They are configuerd manuel in the config. Tried to reset them but no luck so far. Wifi signal is good everywhere in my small apartment so thats not the issue either. Anyone experience anything similar?

Kind regards

me to
I have HA in version 0.104.3
Installed on Windows 10 on oracle VM virtualbox (ver 6.0.16)
The internet I have at home is fiber based
And my router is a netgear orbi with a satellite extension.

Everything works fine except for one really annoying thing that I don’t find a solution,
Some equipment’s on the network constantly have errors in the log, for example:

  • Update or switch. *** is taking over 10 seconds
  • Unable to discover a device at address *. *. *. *

For yeelight-based lighting fixtures, the errors are:

  • Unable to update device *. *. *. *, Bedroom lightbulb: Bulb closed the connection.
  • Got exception while fetching the state: Unable to discover the device *. *. *. *

these errors do not seem to affect all the equipment I have on the network, except for the yeelight lighting fixtures, from time to time these lights become “unavailable”
Sometimes for a few seconds, and often until I resate them.

What I’ve checked:

  1. All my equipment has a fixed IP network
  2. All the bulbs are in a LAN mode
  3. All bulbs are connected at 2.4 Hz
  4. I have disabled history / default_config / discovery / logbook on hassio
  5. I disabled music mode at yeelight
  6. Installation from 0 leads to the same situation

Example of Yeelight config:
yeelight:
devices:
! secret balcony_lightbulb_ip:
name: balcony lightbulb
model: color2
transition: 3
save_on_change: False # (defaults to False)
use_music_mode: False
secret bedroom_lightbulb_ip:
name: bedroom lightbulb
model: color2
transition: 3
save_on_change: False # (defaults to False)
use_music_mode: False

Anyone have an idea or way to help? I’m really crazy here with all the “unavailable”

Thanks

I know this is a very old thread but I had the very same problem, with some different products though.
I bought some Xiaomi MI Bulbs and using miiocli first identified their tokens and then set them to developer mode to enable local control.
Then they were autodiscovered by yeelight integration and I added them to HA. However, they would become unavailable exactly every 5 mins, and immediately become available again. But this messed with lots of my automations so I searched for a solution. The only solution I’ve found was to add them to Xiaomi Miot Auto integration and delete them from Yeelight. They are working perfectly since then.
