Xiaomi smart bulb integration
-
Well, it seems there is development for integration with f.lux ;)

At least it's a beginning :thumbsup_tone2:

Our new beta has yeelight support, for lights that support their LAN API.

I'm using the betas for quiet a while now.
Could you please tell me, how to enable the support for YeeLight?
I've already checked the box for YeeLight support, but it didn't work. -
Which kind of light do you have?
Some of them I've tested don't seem to support the LAN API (only work through cloud), but it's more likely we have a bug...

We have tested mainly on the Bedside Lamp, which is newer and works very well. It is one of the few that has 110V support so we can test it - unfortunately the 220V models do not seem to communicate very reliably when run at 110V in the US.
If you are comfortable with Wireshark we could see if your bulb is responding to the discovery protocol (the first step) - it is port 1982 UDP (sort of like UPnP but on a nonstandard port).
Also you should know that the LAN protocol we're using (provided to third parties) is not the same as the cloud-based system that the yeelight/milight seem to use in their own apps. So there may be bugs in older lights with the LAN protocol, and maybe they would be fixed in a firmware update, but I'm not sure what should work and what should not.

@herf Hi, maybe I should have been more patient and more precise...
It just works now:thumbsup_tone2:
Don't know, why I didn't see it yesterday.
I don't need extra stuff or another URL.
Great!Does it affect all connected lights at once?
-
Good to hear it! :) :)
-
@herf :grinning: What about my question? Since I use no URL, will f.lux process separate
lights as one? -
@Alexx right now it knows about each bulb but doesn't have UI for separate controls yet.
-
@alexx How did you make it work? I have the same issue as you do here.
Thanks -
-
@alexx Oh so i do need to use that fluxee thing ? I thought it was already implemented into f.lux.
-
@odyseus At first you could try to insert the URL in f.lux, which you find in the fluxee description.
-
-
@alexx Still doesn't work :( do i have to launch the fluxee.exe each time i start my computer ?

I just bought a bulb Yeelight RVB (YLDP06YL).
I was worried that it might be difficult to get it working with f.lux but it really doesn't.
It doesn't need the Python script from David Ramiro (https://github.com/davidramiro/fluxee). Maybe it was needed before, i'm using f.lux version 4.76.Here is what i've done :
Install the bulb, install the software on the smartphone (Mi home + Yeelight).
You might not need Mi home, i didn't test without it.
Get everything works between the app and the bulb.
Then enable Lan control in the Yeelight app.
For that, David Ramiro has made two screen capture who explain very well what to do (David if you read me, i hope you don't mind using your links here) :

On f.lux, on the menu "Options and Smart Lighting..." then "Connected lighting", check "YeeLight".
It works perfectly for me, i hope it will be the same for everyone. -
@benben I just picked up some Yeelight's that work fine over LAN using the above github program (fluxee). Unable to get it working via flux directly however. Flux version 4.78 -- are you able to test that a connection is working by manually changing the lighting in flux? It should be pushed and update the bulbs at the same time right?
The python program works flawlessly, but would rather not have an open cmd program running in windows all the time.
-
@poxin Have you try to quit f.lux and start it back again? It did work for me ~ I will see tomorow if it needs to be turn off and on every evening because this might get annoying.
-
@alexx That worked for me! Thank you
