ts-node-yeelight

Typescript implementation of the original library by jamesblanksby. Offers a few classes to interact with Xiaomi Yeelight devices in one's local network.

Usage

Simply include the Yeelight instance in your typescript files.

import { Yeelight } from 'ts-node-yeelight';

API

Fields

| Field | Type | Purpose | |:-------:|:----------------:|:---------------------------------------------------------------------:| | options | YeelightOptions | Contains the instance's options. Can be changed after initialization. | | devices | YeelightDevice[] | Array of YeelightDevices registered with the instance. |

Yeelight(options: IYeelightOptionFields)

All methods are dynamic, which means one needs to first create a new Yeelight instance.

const yeelight = new Yeelight();

The Yeelight constructor accepts an options object as argument.

const options: IYeelightOptionFields = {
    listenPort: 45065,
    listenAddress: '0.0.0.0',
    
    discoveryPort: 1982,
    discoveryAddress: "239.255.255.250",
    discoveryMsg: 'M-SEARCH * HTTP/1.1\r\nMAN: \"ssdp:discover\"\r\nST: wifi_bulb\r\n',
    discoveryTimeoutSeconds: 5,
}

All options fields are optional.

discover()

Sends the message specified in the istance's options to the also specified address and port. Listens for a reply from Yeelight devices and proceeds to register each of them in its devices field.

sendMessage(message: string, address: string)

Sends a message to the device specified by the address argument.

addDevice(device: YeelightDevice)

Adds a pre-populated YeelightDevice to the devices fields of the instance.

TODO

There are many functionalities that are yet to be implemented, either from the original library or from ideas i came up with. Feel free to create an issue if you think a feature has not been implemented or needs some sort of fixing, and I will look into it as soon as i manage to.

• Change device color
• Change device brightness
• Offer interfaces for low-level interaction (e.g. send a poweroff request with 200ms as transition time)

Disclaimer

This is my very first public library so I will do my best to keep it maintained.
