Hi.
If you’re having issue with this tutorial, it may be an issue with the yeelight node itself.
Please follow the next tutorial that is also compatible with the yeelight: https://randomnerdtutorials.com/node-red-with-xiaomi-mijia-bedside-lamp/ and see if it works.

Hi Fabian.
We just tested this example with this specific bulb.
But I think it might work as long as you enable the LAN mode.
What version do you have?
Regards,
Sara 🙂

In reply to Marc. Hi Marc, I've never encountered that error before. Can you try to run/open Node-RED with sudo?

Firstly, excellent instructions and also great site! Been enjoying having a read about the various Yeelight solutions you have in place.

I’ve hit an issue where I’m getting the following in the logs:

17 Feb 23:54:48 – [info] Starting flows
17 Feb 23:54:48 – [error] [yeelight-config:ada24ea5.54244] ReferenceError: window is not defined

17 Feb 23:55:11 – [error] [yeelight:Set Brightness] TypeError: Cannot read property ‘set_bright’ of null
17 Feb 23:57:20 – [error] [yeelight:Set RGB Color] TypeError: Cannot read property ‘set_rgb’ of null
17 Feb 23:58:08 – [error] [yeelight:Set RGB Color] TypeError: Cannot read property ‘set_rgb’ of null

17 Feb 23:58:14 – [error] [yeelight:Toggle] TypeError: Cannot read property ‘toggle’ of null

Any ideas what may be wrong in the setup. I have reviewed the steps with nothing weird being found. Any help would be appreciated!
