Documentation Status

yeelight is a simple Python library that allows you to control YeeLight WiFi RGB LED bulbs through your LAN.

For a command-line utility that uses this library, see yeecli.

Installation

There are many ways to install yeelight:

  • With pip (preferred), run pip install yeelight.
  • With setuptools, run easy_install yeelight.
  • To install from source, download it from https://gitlab.com/stavros/python-yeelight and run python setup.py install.

Usage

To use yeelight, first enable "development mode" on your bulb through the YeeLight app. Then, just import the library into your project like so:

>>> from yeelight import Bulb

Afterwards, instantiate a bulb:

>>> bulb = Bulb("192.168.0.5")
>>> bulb.turn_on()

That's it!

Refer to the rest of the documentation for more details.

The library also contains a (currently undocumented) asyncio interface.

Supported Devices

See the documentation for a list of supported devices.

Contributing

If you'd like to contribute to the code, thank you! To install the various libraries required, run (preferably in a virtualenv):

$ pip install -Ur requirements_dev.txt

In order for your MR to pass CI, it needs to be checked by various utilities, which are managed by [pre-commit]{.title-ref}. [pre-commit]{.title-ref} will be installed by the above command, but you also need to install the pre-commit hook:

$ pre-commit install

The hook will run on commit. To run it manually (e.g. if you've already committed but forgot to run it, just run):

$ pre-commit run -a

Thanks again!
