Home Assistant 0.79.3

Last working Home Assistant release (if known):

Operating environment (Hass.io/Docker/Windows/etc.):

Docker

Component/platform:

Flux + Yeelight

Description of problem:
Brightness control is not working with Yeelight ligths. I am using it with Xiaomi Ceiling lights.

• disable_brightness_adjust ( Optional ): If true, brightness will not be adjusted besides color temperature. Defaults to False.

Problem-relevant configuration.yaml entries and (fill out even if it seems unimportant):

- platform: flux
  lights:
    - light.yeelight_lights_1
  name: Fluxer Ceiling Lights
  start_time: '7:00'
  stop_time: '23:00'
  start_colortemp: 4000
  sunset_colortemp: 3000
  stop_colortemp: 1900
  brightness: 200
  mode: mired
  transition: 30
  interval: 60

Traceback (if applicable):

Additional information:

light.yeelight_lights_1:

at 18:00 I checked:

brightness: 199
color_temp: 332

at 21:00 I checked:

brightness: 199
color_temp: 370

In log I see errors of Yeelight:

Maybe it is related with #13785, I'll check after @syssi opens new PR to fix #13785.

[syssi]

Which ceiling light do you own?

I have Yeelight RGB bulbs too, today I will test them.

Try 0.81.0.dev0 but be careful to use interval for flux between 0-59. There is a bug in fluxer issue #17368

[adrianmihalko]

Finally every fix (flux, yeelight components [additional info here: #13785 fix is working, If I change color manually]) was released with 0.81.

Unfortunately this version still not fix flux + Xiaomi Ceiling light incompatibility.

  - platform: flux
    lights:
      - light.yeelight_lights_1
    name: Fluxer Ceiling Lights
    start_time: '7:00'
    stop_time: '23:59'
    start_colortemp: 4000
    sunset_colortemp: 3000
    stop_colortemp: 1900
    brightness: 200
    mode: xy
    transition: 30
    interval: 59

Light doesn't change at all:

I don't see any error in home-assistant.log file.

I tried mode: mired, but in this case I still get error:

Maybe a debug log helps:

Same problem with Circadian Lightning component:

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/circadian-lighting-custom-component/61246/170?u=madrian

Interesting why, because manually I can change the color temperature.

[adrianmihalko]

Found more information:

Slider and service call changing temperature works too:

{
  "color_temp": "370",
  "entity_id": "light.yeelight_ceiling_7c49ebb38056"
}

I am confused now. If color temp changing works from service call, slider, then why not from plugins?

[adrianmihalko]

It's fixed in 0.84. I think because of "Improved service calling".
