I have a few yeelights LED color bulbs and wanted to control them by OpenHAB 2.
But I cannot get the yeelight binding into my OpenHAB.
First I looked under the available addons inside OpenHAB Paper UI.
But ‘yeelight’ is not listed there. Then I added ‘yeelight’ to my addons.cfg file hoping it would install it but it doesn’t.
BTW yeelight is already listed in github openhab addons - maybee I have to update my addons-list somehow but I don’t know how to do that.
“Just rebuilt it. Unfortunately Github did not support upload of the .jar file, so I changed the extension to .zip. You have to rename it again with .jar extension (on Windows you have to enable the displaying of extensions in the Explorer for that).”
I don’t have yeelight’s to test with but some functions seem to work with certain versions of opanhab2.
Not sure, but it won’t hurt to try. Place it in /usr/share/openhab2/addons then restart openhab. You may want to remove or comment out yeelight in your addons.cfg first.
Are you looking for it in PaperUI binding addon? If so from PaperUI click Configuration then click bindings. This will show all your bindings installed. The way you installed yeelight you wont find it like when searching for other bindings because its already installed.
1.x bindings don’t show up at all in PaperUI, only 2.x bindings
1.x bindings need to be configured via *.cfg files. I guess you will find the syntax for the cfg file at the download place.

Here is what I think is the newest yeelight download but it didn’t work for my openhab 2.3
