Moonlight detection doesn't work for ceiling lamp

[darenegade]

First of all: thanks for the great plugin. It works pretty well overall and I really like it.

But unfortunately since version 3.0 the moonlight detection doesn't work anymore for my ceiling lamp (Yeelight JIAOYUE YLXD05YL).

I searched the log for some evidence why it's not working anymore and found a difference in the lamp initialization.

On 2.4 I get:

[12/11/2023, 19:46:40] [Yeelight] Received advertisement from ee9054. [12/11/2023, 19:46:40] [Yeelight] Device celing3-ee9054 supports moonlight mode [12/11/2023, 19:46:40] [Yeelight] Device ceiling3-ee9054 supports brightness [12/11/2023, 19:46:40] [Yeelight] Device ceiling3-ee9054 supports color temperature

On 3.0 the moonlight is missing:

[12/11/2023, 16:11:56] [Yeelight] Received advertisement from ee9054. [12/11/2023, 16:11:56] [Yeelight] Device ceiling3-ee9054 supports brightness [12/11/2023, 16:11:56] [Yeelight] Device ceiling3-ee9054 supports color temperature

I guess the active_mode is missing somehow on the Support Field of the search response, as the feature init was changed in version 3.0 to identify the moonlight ability. But I can't verify this as the multicast udp response is hard to recreate without coding. (Do you know a way to get that response from the lamp without coding?)

If this is the case the init may not use that for feature detection. But I didn't found an other simple way from the documentation to get that information.

One solution could be to override feature detection via config for specific devices.

What do you think?

Hello @darenegade,

I don't have a device with moonlight to test, can you please send me the search response for that device?

You should be able to get it by running something like (tested on a mac):

echo -ne 'M-SEARCH * HTTP/1.1\r\nMAN: "ssdp:discover"\r\nST: wifi_bulb' | nc -w1 -u -p 43210 239.255.255.250 1982 & nc -ul 43210

Example output:

@vieira

Thank you for your help. I was able to execute the command and got the following response from my ceiling light:

As suspected, the support flag for active_mode is missing here, although the lamp supports moonlight-mode.

Same problem here on my ceiling lights, I can also help with testing if needed.

Unfortunately I don't see anything in the response that could be used to detect support for the moonlight mode. I will explore some other ideas and release a beta version for you to test.

Hello @darenegade, @Mimomaj,

I (tried) to fix the issue in #119 and published a new beta version 3.0.1-beta.0 to npm.

Let me know if it fixes the issue for you. Also let me know if you find any other new issues with this release.

Thanks!

[Mimomaj]

Hi @vieir, issue is fixed, thank you for your work. I'll let you know in case I found any other issues.

[darenegade]

@vieira I just tested the beta and the issue is fixed for me too. Great work👍

[alondj99]

@vieira beta works great Thank you so much 😊

[vieira]

Thanks for taking the time to test! Published 3.0.1 with the fix.
