The `yeelight` light platform allows you to control your Yeelight Wifi bulbs with Home Assistant.

To enable those lights, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
  - platform: yeelight
    devices:
      192.168.1.25:
        name: palier
```

Configuration variables:

- **ip** (*Required*): IP(s) of your wifi bulbs
- **name** (*Optional*): A friendly name for the device.

<p class='note'>
Before trying to control your light through Home Assistant, you have to setup your bulb using Yeelight app. ( [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yeelight.cherry&hl=fr), [IOS](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/yeelight/id977125608?mt=8) ).
In the bulb property, you have to enable "Developer Mode"  Developer mode may only be available with the latest firmware installed on your bulb.  Firmware can be updated in the application after connecting the bulb.
Determine your bulb ip (using router, software, ping ...)
</p>

<p class='note warning'>
Tests are only made with a YLDP03YL model. Because it's the only hardware developer owns. If you have bugs with another kind of model, you could open an issue on [Home Assitant Github](https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant)
