6 yeelights bulb but only appear yeebridge in homekit

[garvarma]

Hi, I have 6 yeelight (5 white and 1 rgb) and when i add the component into homekit, only appears a yeebridge device, but not each of yeelights that i have it.

What i,m doing wrong? Maybe file config.json must have something else?

Thanks

Did you open developer mode of your bulbs? If not, please search and download "Yeelight" app and go to settings to turn on the option.

[garvarma]

Hi, Yes i have all in developer mode, because all one works on homeassistant. I think that i know where is problem, but first i'm trying to check one thing

I will tell you if i resolv the problem.

thanks

@garvarma have you solve your problem? i have the same problem with you.

[vvpossible]

If you are using router with Openwrt, please check this out and see if it can solve your issue. http://forum.yeelight.com/t/python/69/9

That means Yeelight app can't find the bulb through a multicast UDP message. Please check my last comments and see if your router is using Openwrt. You may also try other demo apps from here "https://www.yeelight.com/en_US/developer". If they can find the bulbs, so does Yeelight homebridge plugin.

Hi, Yes in my case i solve problem. My problem was that i have 2 networks at home, 1 for devices and other for domotic. The problem was that my lights bulbs where in 1 network and homekit gateway (ipad) in different network. Once that ipad was in the same network as bulbs, then all works well

[Sunbelife]

@garvarma i already check my Wi-Fi connection.. they are in the same network,y_y

@vvpossible my router isn't using Openwrt, must i use a Openwrt router? i run the demo app and found nothing.. but my phone can control my bulb.

[vvpossible]

No, any router should work. Is your phone connecting to 5G, that could cause some issue.

[Sunbelife]

@vvpossible No. my router have only 2.4G..

[Sunbelife]

i have successed before on another router. but this router which i use now still can't work.

[vvpossible]

OK, seems it's related to your router. Could you logon to your router and see if there is some IGMP related settings.

[Sunbelife]

Nothing can be found related to IGMP settings... it's looks seem i need to replace a router..

[Sunbelife]

You know what? it works immediately when i change to another router..
