Yeelight

Note

Only basic support for controlling Yeelight lights is implemented at the moment.

You will likely want to use python-yeelight for controlling your lights.

Currently supported features:

  • Querying the status.

  • Turning on and off.

  • Changing brightness, colors (RGB and HSV), color temperature.

  • Changing internal settings (developer mode, saving settings on change)

Use miiocli yeelight --help for help on available commands and their parameters.

To extract the token from a backup of the official Yeelight app, refer to Token extraction.

Token extraction

In order to extract tokens from the Yeelight Android app, you need to create a backup like shown below.

adb backup -noapk com.yeelight.cherry -f backup.ab

If everything went fine and you got a backup.ab file, from which you can extract the tokens with miio-extract-tokens as described in Extracting tokens.

miio-extract-tokens /tmp/yeelight.ab --password a
