Hi, could you advise on how you were able to get the brightness control working at all?
What do your items and sitemap file look like for the yeelights?
I’ve spent hours trying to get this working and its driving me insane, without brightness control it kinda defeats the purpose…
this is what I have:
yeelight.things
Thing yeelight:wonder:bedroom2_lamp [ deviceId="XXX" ]
yeelight.items
Dimmer bedroom2_lamp_dimmer "Small bedroom lamp [%d %%]" <light>{channel="yeelight:wonder:bedroom2_lamp:brightness"}
Dimmer bedroom2_lamp_colorTemperature "Small bedroom lamp [%d %%]" <heating>{channel="yeelight:wonder:bedroom2_lamp:colorTemperature"}
Color bedroom2_lamp_color "Small bedroom lamp [%d %%]" <colorlight>{channel="yeelight:wonder:bedroom2_lamp:color"}
Thanks for the reply.
Interestingly, if I use paperui to add the yeelight thing, and copy your items but changing “bedroom2_lamp” to my channel id, then brightness works but not the other two. When trying to change colour I get this error: `
Received HTTP POST request at 'items/YeelightColour' with an invalid status value '114,80,100'.
If I manually add the thing and copy your items then brightness does nothing but the other two work.
Found the solution: changing the brightness channel to color and making it a Dimmer item
Dimmer YeelightBrightness "brightness [%d %%]" {channel="yeelight:wonder:0x000000000531be5f:color"}
Update: aaaaaand stuck in offline
Any chance to get the second version of the color bulbs working? It is working with the mi io binding , but xiaomi supports the 2nd version on the chinese server and the chinese server does not support google home at all… 
edit: it is working, missed to activate the LAN control. 
Have you successful set up the Yeelight binding with the Yeelight Color Bulbs?
I’ve the silver grey ones (1st version)?
I ran into problem with the Mi IO binding …

Maybe you can point me in the right direction 
My is working are you using Openhab 2.4 and have the yeelight App “WITH THE LAN CONTROLON” what is in the yeelight App.
I’m on oH 2.3 stable.
According to this thread
I guess I need to wait until 2.4 stable comes out or have to try the 2.4 snapshot, right?
Yes
i installed the openhab 2.4 with yeelight, it discover all my 7 rgbw bulbs, but only one online, after few minutes another one go online, but now all offline, from the yeelight app everything is working great
Have you enable LAN in the application of yeelight.
yes, if you dont enable you cant discover them
Ok lot of ppl forget to do it.
Hi All,
I little bit stuck. I bought a yeelight cell, successfully connect to wifi and I can control it with the app, but when I try to add to openhab, nothing happens.
Server: Mainland China or German( I tried both)
Lan control: Enabled
Same network
OH version: 2.4.0~M5-1
Yeelight fw: 1.5.9_0184
And nothing…
I try a yeelight_toolbox_3.0.1 app. It show and I can control it
Anybody can help me?
O.
I’m having a hard time getting this work.
odroid xu4 - 18.04.1 LTS (Bionic Beaver) build 4.14.78-150+
# dpkg -l | grep openhab
ii openhab2 2.4.0~M5-1 all openhab2
ii openhab2-addons 2.4.0~M5-1 all openhab2-addons

running openhab w/ debug:
openhab> java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No enum constant com.yeelight.sdk.enums.DeviceType.ct_bulb at java.lang.Enum.valueOf(Enum.java:238) at com.yeelight.sdk.enums.DeviceType.valueOf(DeviceType.java:1) at com.yeelight.sdk.device.DeviceFactory.build(DeviceFactory.java:29) at com.yeelight.sdk.services.DeviceManager$2.run(DeviceManager.java:130) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748)
for what it’s worth, adding them manually doesn’t work either. always “offline”
hope that’s enough info 
ok figured it… this binding and it’s design is crap
