YeeLight not working #1947

Open Julius971 opened 4 years ago

Julius971 commented 4 years ago

I am trying to use a Yeelight with Aurora and everything works fine, but the dimmer value is not getting updated. Hue and Saturation are transmitted correctly.

Hello, YeeLight integration doesn't send brightness value to the light, you have to set the brightness yourself in the YeeLight app.

But this is kinda nonsense, because if my screen turns black, ambientlight should do this as well.

Actually the program uses the set_rgb function of the light to send RGB values, light converts them to hue and saturation but it doesn't allow 0,0,0 as an RGB value. I've tried sending brightness as zero to close the leds on the light but light also doesn't accept brightness value 0. I think the only way would be to send on and off commands to the light but that could be slow.

Apparently setting power state to off makes the light close open connections to any hosts so that options isn't viable as well. I don't think there is a way to do that.
