A simple Node.js library to discover and control Xiaomi Yeelights over LAN.
This solution offers a 1:1 implementation of the official docs from Xiaomi, and also includes an SSDP implementation to retrieve the IP of your light.
# Run this in your favourite terminal
npm i yeelight-nodeYou can get started by running the example, which will discover and ping your devices over LAN:
node example/index.jsIn your code, simply require and instantiate the package as a class, passing in the IP address and port of the device as an object.
const { Yeelight } = require('yeelight-node')
const yeelight = new Yeelight({ ip: '0.0.0.0', port: 55443 })
yeelight.set_power('on')
yeelight.set_rgb([250, 150, 120])
yeelight.get_prop('bright').then(
data => console.log(data)
)If you don't know the IP of your device, you can use the SSDP client to scan your network:
const { Client } = require('yeelight-node')
const client = new Client()
client.bind(yeelight => {
yeelight.set_power('on')
yeelight.set_rgb([250, 150, 120])
yeelight.get_prop('bright').then(
data => console.log(data)
)
})You can now call any of the operations from the official docs on this instance.
As stated in the docs, Xiaomi devices support up to 4 simultaneous TCP connections. Any further connect attempt will be rejected. This library exposes the yeelight.closeConnection() to close the TCP connection at will, should your use case require it.
