yeepy

A command line tool for controlling Yeelight RGB lightbulbs

Usage:

$ python yee.py [-h] [--reset] command argument

command can be power, bright, temp, color, or status.

argument is dependent on command:

• power:
  • on
  • off
  • toggle
• bright:
  • a number 1-100
• temp:
  • a number 2500-6500
• color:
  • red
  • green
  • blue
  • a hex code in the form '#ffffff'
• status takes no argument

Installation:

Install the only dependency: pip install yeelight

Run

$ git clone https://github.com/drugantibus/yeepy ~/yeepy

and then add an alias to your .bashrc or .zshrc:

alias yee="python ~/yeepy/yeel.py".

You can now turn your Yeelight on and off using $ yee power toggle!

TODO:

• Support natural values for bright and temp: (e.g. "full", "cold", etc.)
• Multi-bulb support
• Non-color bulb support
• Scene support
• GUI

This is very much a work-in-progress. Any and all contributions, issues included, are very appreciated.
