As the custom_component for Home Assistant seems not to be working, I came up with this workaround for using the Candelas.
It is slow and far from perfect, but it works.
1- Install python-yeelightbt using SSH in port 22222 (as described in the Installation section of the documentation) or using Portainer to access the shell.
2- Still in the SSH or Portainer shell, configure your lights:
2.1- make sure your Candela is turned ON (light up) and near
2.2- use yeelightbt scan to list your devices
2.3- try to connect to each Candela using this command yeelightbt --mac:the_mac_of_your_candela on
2.4- it will ask you to change the brightness. CHANGE THE BRIGHTNESS turning the light glass. If you don't, the link will work for a while and stop working later. If you don't see a "we are linked" message, it did not work. Try again.
2.5- repeat 2.3 and 2.4 for every Candela you have.
3- Create multiple command switches in your configuration to operate the Candelas:
Use those switches to turn on/off your candelas.
You can also set brightness to turn it on at a specified brightness setting, so, if the Candela is turned off, running '/usr/local/bin/yeelightbt --mac=f8:24:41:XX:YY:ZZ brightness 100' will turn it on at 100%.
