yeecli 0.2.0

Description:

yeecli 0.2.0

yeecli is a command-line utility for controlling the YeeLight RGB LED lightbulb.
It is released under the BSD license.

Quick start
You can install yeecli with pip:
pip install yeecli
You’re done (make sure developer mode is enabled for your bulb in the app)! Here are a few sample commands:
yee --ip=192.168.0.34 turn on
yee --ip=192.168.0.34,192.168.0.28:8329 toggle
yee --ip=192.168.0.34 rgb ff00ff
yee --ip=192.168.0.34 brightness 100


Features
This is a list of features supported right now and features that I’m wanting to
add later.
Currently supported:

Non-music modes
All flow transitions in the protocol
Additional HSV flow transition
Presets
Multiple bulbs
Bulb groups

Will probably be supported at some point:

Music mode
Discovery



Usage
To see the commands supported by yeecli, just run it without any commands. It
allows you to turn the light bulb on or off, set the RGB value, the color
temperature, the HSV value, etc.
yeecli does not support discovery, so you have to specify the IP of the bulb you
want to use every time. To make this easier, yeecli supports using
a configuration file.
Simply create a file in ~/.config/yeecli/yeecli.cfg that looks something like
this:
[default]
ip = 192.168.12.3
port = 55433
effect = smooth
duration = 500
And the defaults will be loaded from it. All the values in it are optional, and
you can override them in the command line when running the script.
You can also specify multiple bulbs like so:
[default]
ip = 192.168.12.3
port = 55433
effect = smooth
duration = 500

[bedroom]
ip = 192.168.12.4
effect = smooth
duration = 500

[hallway]
ip = 192.168.12.5:88273,192.168.12.3
Then, to select a specific bulb/bulb group, just pass it to the --bulb option:
yee --bulb=bedroom brightness 100
