Xiaomi Yeelight component music mode not supported

[brthrsam]

When I enable the music mode I get below error messages to log. Only switching on/off works, adjusting brightness doesn't work at all in music mode. I'm using HA 0.40.0 and White E27 Yeelight bulbs with firmware 1.4.1_45. I have 4 bulbs and all of them have the same problem.

I opened an issue on downstream bug tracker to see how this case should be handled: https://gitlab.com/stavros/python-yeelight/issues/10

Maybe the white bulbs do not support this mode at all and therefore tries to enable it on those should just be ignored either inside homeassistant or in the backend library.

same issue here on both type of bulbs.

Same here on bulb type YLDP02YL from GearBest http://www.gearbest.com/smart-lighting/pp_361555.html
