yeelib

Python library for Xiaomi Mi Yeelight.

yeelib is an asyncio based Python library to control Yeelights. It has no external dependencies and is blazing fast!

Getting Started

Install

pip install yeelib

Example:

import asyncio

from yeelib import search_bulbs


@asyncio.coroutine
def turn_all_lights_on(bulbs):
    while True:
        for b in bulbs.values():
            asyncio.Task(b.send_command("set_power",
                                        ["off", "sudden", 40]))
        yield from asyncio.sleep(10)


def main():
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    bulbs = loop.run_until_complete(search_bulbs())
    loop.create_task(turn_all_lights_on(bulbs))
    try:
        loop.run_forever()
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        loop.stop()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

The script above will turn all off every 10 seconds. The following script does the same thing, but note how you can define the bulbs prior calling the search_bulbs context manager. This works due to the fact that dictionaries are mutable in Python.
