Or you can do everything in the same directory

git clone git@github.com:Azuxul/node-red-yeelight.git
npm install ./node-red-yeelight

Usage

You need to configure the node by entering the correct lamp id (ex: 0x000000000abc1234) and the command method (ex: set_power). You can also set up the lamp name (internal to the node, not the yeelight lamp name) to access the last command method params as a node red global variable (with the name "main_lamp" for the method set_power, the variable is "main_lamp.set_power").

To use the node you need to pass arguments throw node red msg payload as an array. For example, with the method set_power msg.payload should be equals to :

msg.payload = [state, 'smooth', 500]

For more information on commands methods and arguments use the Yeelight WiFi Light Inter-Operation Specification Manual or check Yeelight developer website.
