Yeelight Ambilight

[TK4|2|1]

I’ve picked up a yeelight WiFi led strip to use behind my tv as ambient lighting.
Does anybody know if it’s possible to control it via a plugin?
There are a few in the downloads, but non for yeelight.
I’ve googled it and found a site mentioning it, using enigmalight plugin, but the site is in German.
This is the site, if anybody can translate.

Hi,
the needed files will you find in the 4th post. I try only to translate the text:


It is not so hard if you know how:

Install enigmalight

create enigmalight.conf and copy it to /etc. (file in post)

copy yeelight.py to /home/elight-addons/wifilight (file in post)

you have to download the Yeelight Library and copy it to /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages

expand future.zip (file in post) and copy it to /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages (perhaps this is not really needed but without you get errors)

After a reboot of the box Enigmalight should start the LED. There is a problem with stopping the LED.


I hope it helps a bit.

Thanks Trial, but it don’t seem to work. Error in log file says something about a broken pipe???
Oh well never mind
Thanks again.

Hi Trial, I really appreciate you helping.
I've attached a couple of .py files I've tried, with the same results, and error log.
thanks again for looking

Hi,
I think I understand now a bit what happens. Ths Yeelight runs in an endless loop and get its data through a pipe and when this is not working (full or closed) you get this error. Are there more information concerning enigma2light in your debug log?

Hi Trial. I haven’t run a debug log, I’ll run 1 tonight.
Thanks.

I use enigmalight but unfortunatly not with yeelight

I use an Arduino that controls the LED strip, the Arduino then plugs into the STB.

Hi trial,
I've added the debug file,
I've had a look and it mentions a file in usr/bin/enigmalight, so ive added that too
thanks

Hi,
I cannot check but did you use and edit the config from the post of your link?

The only thing I edited on it was the ip, to that of my yeelight strip.

Anybody with an Arm receiver (not duo 4k) using ambilight, please send me a PM. I need to test something out to rule out a driver bug. Must be prepared to install openatv 6.4
