Potentially related to #19251? Anyway, this is not an issue in the yeelight integration, but in homekit one.

Hey there @Jc2k, mind taking a look at this issue as its been labeled with a integration (homekit_controller) you are listed as a codeowner for? Thanks!

Hi I think you mean the homekit integration, not homekit_controller integration.

[vitinhosessa]

It is strange because when i used the yeelight with the discovery settings, the bulb in homekit had the color option. But when i changed to manual configuration the yeelight bulb in homekit lost the option for changing color and started acting as a normal light.

@vitinhosessa Can you try excluding the light via the filter option, restart HA, include the light and restart again? Does that change anything?

[vitinhosessa]

I excluded filter, and it is the same thing. Acting as a normal bulb on homekit.

I did another test, i excluded the ignore on discovery, and excluded the yeelight manual configuration, and the bulb on homekit acted as a RGB bulb.

Probably the bug is on yeelight manual configuration.

[vitinhosessa]

I found the bug. I removed:

  custom_effects:
    - name: 'TE'
      flow_params:
        count: 0
        transitions:
          - RGBTransition: [255, 0, 0, 2000, 100]
          - RGBTransition: [0, 255, 0, 2000, 100]
          - RGBTransition: [0, 0, 255, 2000, 100]
          - SleepTransition: [1000]

and works as should be. Acting as RGB bulb on homekit. 🎉

[vitinhosessa]

Thanks to helping me. 😄
Should I close or will be tagged and be directed to solve this bug?

Maybe its a bug because all yeelight, when defined by hand, are recognized as white only, before they get properties from the device ( https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/blob/dev/homeassistant/components/yeelight/light.py#L195
https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/blob/dev/homeassistant/components/yeelight/light.py#L27
https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/blob/dev/homeassistant/components/yeelight/light.py#L353
).
This PR should fix it: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/22547/files. It creates light, after propeties are fetched or if light type if manually declared ( like here ).
I think custom_effects are unrelated, and its some kind of race condition.

[vitinhosessa]

Thanks @zewelor. When this correction will be release?

[zewelor]

Sadly I don't know. It's waiting to be reviewed by someone. Maybe you can try it as custom component to see if it solves this error?

[vitinhosessa]

Mine is working fine since i removed the custom_effects 😄. I ask just to have some idea.

How do i install this version as a custom_component? I can test if works. I just need the link to download the custom component and what i need to do to make the yeelight configurate with this custom component.

[vitinhosessa]

@zewelor the light is acting again as a white bulb. I'm gonna try to add to custom_components this new yeelight that you said.

Did i need to rename the yeelight folder and in configuration.yaml? or i can use yeelight

[zewelor]

Configuration doesn't need any changes. Only create folder custom_components/yeelight , in your configuration directory, and download all files there. After that restart HA and you should see something like this in the logs:

WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.loader] You are using a custom integration for yeelight which has not been tested by Home Assistant. This component might cause stability problems, be sure to disable it if you do experience issues with Home Assistant.

Fixed with #22547 thanks to @zewelor.
