Installation

npm install yeelight-awesome

Get Started

Setup your light

You need to enable "LAN Control" on the phone App make the light discoverable over LAN network. Open the phone app, go to the light setting and toggle LAN control on.

Reset your device Use physical switch to turn on - off the light 5 time, give the 1 second break in the between of the onn/off. You probably need to do reset device and reset up it with phone app if the discover doesn't work properly.

Discover the light

Before you can control the light, you need to discover it unless you know the light's IP

// typescript
import { Discover, IDevice } from 'yeelight-awesome';
const discover = new Discover({ port: 1982, debug: true }, logger);
discover.once('deviceAdded', (device: IDevice) => {
  // using device action
});

// make sure you call this
discover.start();

// javascript
const y = require('yeelight-awesome');
const discover = new y.Discover({
  port: 1982,
  debug: true,
});

discover.once('deviceAdded', (device) => {
  const yeelight = new y.Yeelight({
    lightIp: device.host,
    lightPort: device.port,
  });

  yeelight.on('connected', () => {
    yeelight.setRGB(new y.Color(123, 99, 65), 'smooth', 5000);
  });
  yeelight.connect();
});

discover.start();

There is know issue with the yeelight device that discover method doesn't work at the first time attemp. In this case we can:

• reset device and resetup -see instruction above

• make the connection using the light IP without discover method, after the first connection successful. the light now will response to discover method

• from version 1.0.6, there is fallback option to using Ip scan if discover failed. this fallback option is turn on by default.

  const discover = new Discover({ fallback: true });
  
  discover.start();

• Use IP scan method (this method will expect to take few seconds)

  const discover = new Discover({});
  
  discover
  .scanByIp()
  .then((devices) => console.log('scan finished: ', devices));
  
  discover.on('deviceAdded', (device: IDevice) => {
  console.log('found device', device);
  });

Control the light

To control the light, you need to know the IP of the light, if not sure, using the discover above to find details, after you have details you can make connection to the light and control it

import { Yeelight, Color } from 'yeelight-awesome';

const yeelight = new Yeelight({ lightIp: device.host, lightPort: device.port });
yeelight.on('connected', () => {
  yeelight.setRGB(new Color(66, 87, 23), 'smooth', 5000);
});
yeelight.connect();

Handle Events

The yeelight awesome using Event Emitter pattern, so that you can hook up into the event to get & process data. bellow are list of event

• commandSuccess: This event emit on every command successful
• set_power
• toggle
• set_default
• start_cf
• stop_cf
• get_prop
• set_scene
• set_ct_abx
• set_rgb
• set_hsv
• set_bright
• cron_add
• cron_get
• cron_del
• set_adjust
• set_music
• set_name
• adjust_bright
• adjust_ct
• adjust_color

event data. each event will emit with below data

interface IEventResult {
  action: CommandType;
  command: Command;
  result: ICommandResult;
  success: boolean;
}

Use Promise

see below example

const discover = new Discover({ debug: true }, logger);
discover
  .start()
  .then((devices) => {
    const device = devices[0];
    logger.info('found device: ', devices);
    const yeelight = new Yeelight({
      lightIp: device.host,
      lightPort: device.port,
    });

    yeelight.connect().then((l) => {
      l.toggle().then(() => {
        logger.info('The light has been toggled');
        // you need to call disconnect and destroy when you finish
        l.disconnect();
        discover.destroy();
      });
    });
  })
  .catch((e) => {
    logger.error(e);
    discover.destroy();
  });

All the method has promise support. example:

// yeelight will always running on port 55443
const yeelight = new Yeelight({ lightIp: '192.168.1.101', lightPort: 55443 });
yeelight.once(CommandType.SET_NAME, (data) => {
  logger.info('Can also capture the event data when it ran successful', data);
});

yeelight.once('commandSuccess', (data) => {
  logger.info('commandSuccesss fire everytime the command finish', data);
});
yeelight.connect().then(function (light) {
  light.setName('Bedroom1_light');
});

Logger

You can pass any logger in the constructor of Discover/Yeelight class. In our example we use winston library to write a log.

to write your own logger, you need implement the logger with below ILogger interface

interface ILogger {
  info: (message: string, data?: any) => void;
  error: (message: string, data?: any) => void;
  debug: (message: string, data?: any) => void;
  log?: (message: string, data?: any) => void;
}

If logger not being passed to the constructor, the console.log will be used. by using default Logger below

const defaultLogger: ILogger = {
  debug: (message: string, obj: any) => console.debug,
  error: (message: string, obj: any) => console.error,
  info: (message: string, obj: any) => console.info,
  log: (message: string, obj: any) => console.log,
};

Samples

Here are a full sample of set color flow

// Typescript
import {
  Discover,
  IDevice,
  StartFlowAction,
  FlowState,
  Yeelight,
  logger,
} from 'yeelight-awesome';

const discover = new Discover(
  { port: 1982, asPromise: true, debug: true },
  logger,
);
discover.once('deviceAdded', (device: IDevice) => {
  logger.info('found device: ', device);
  const yeelight = new Yeelight({
    lightIp: device.host,
    lightPort: device.port,
  });

  yeelight.on('connected', () => {
    yeelight.startColorFlow(
      [
        new FlowState(2000, 2, 2700, 100),
        new FlowState(2000, 1, 255, 50),
        new FlowState(2000, 7, 1500, 30),
        new FlowState(2000, 2, 5000, 45),
        new FlowState(2000, 2, 3000, 25),
      ],
      StartFlowAction.LED_STAY,
    );
  });
  yeelight.connect();
});

discover.start();

Or javascript

const discover = new Discover({ debug: true }, logger);
discover
  .start()
  .then((devices) => {
    const device = devices[0];
    logger.info('found device: ', devices);
    const yeelight = new Yeelight(
      { lightIp: device.host, lightPort: device.port },
      logger,
    );

    yeelight.connect().then((l) => {
      l.startColorFlow([
        new FlowState(2000, 2, 2700, 100),
        new FlowState(2000, 1, 255, 50),
        new FlowState(2000, 7, 1500, 30),
        new FlowState(2000, 2, 5000, 45),
        new FlowState(2000, 2, 3000, 25),
      ]).then(() => {
        logger.info('Start color flow finish');
        // you need to call disconnect and destroy when you finish
        l.disconnect();
        discover.destroy();
      });
    });
  })
  .catch((e) => {
    logger.error(e);
    discover.destroy();
  });

NOTE: The example was written in typescript so you need to use ts-node to run them.

API

Yeelight awesome has implement all the support function for yeelight device, Just in case the device has new function that not covert by the API, you can use the sendCommands function with your own data structure to make a request to the light

Please refer to [https://samuraitruong.github.io/yeelight/] (https://samuraitruong.github.io/yeelight/) for all details document

• NOTE: This library has been test and confirm working on Yeelight YLDP02YL AC220V RGBW E27 Smart LED Bulb To run the example, you need to install ts-node

npm install ts-node -g
then execute the ts-ndoe instead of node with the typescript file

ts-node sample/start-flow.ts
