Project YiLiShen (Chinese: 蚁力神), a simple helper tool for Xiaomi Yeelight WiFi light bulbs/lamps/strips.

The name was taken from a famous Chinese Ponzi scheme scandal in a decade ago. Check Yilishen Tianxi Group for more details.

• Ubuntu 18.04
• macOS 10.13.5

You may need to install rapidjson separately.

On macOS you should run:

brew install rapidjson

On Ubuntu you should run

sudo apt install rapidjson-dev

I've only got two mono color light bulbs, so I can't test those color setting commands. But it should works.

Usage:

Yilishen <command>  [arg1] [arg2] [arg3] ... [argN]

Please refer to Yeelight WiFi Light Inter-Operation Specification for more details

Output when running ./Yilishen toggle:

Found a device at 192.168.2.122, ID: 3330
Sending command toggle to this device...
Got result: {"id":9527, "result":["ok"]}

...and the light bulb will be turn on (if not on) or turn off (if it has been turned on).
