# esphome-yeelight_bs2
## Warning: this code is still under heavy development
## Warning: this code is still under development
This code is not yet production-ready. Most of the work goes into reverse
engineering the original firmware and coming up with ways to re-implement
a device firmware based on ESPHome.
Till now, the main focus was driving the LED circuitry, to make sure that the
light quality meets that of the original firmware. This was a hard nut to
crack, but I am happy to announce that this code has been completed.
Therefore I will now continue on implementing the front panel buttons.
The hard work for this was already done: reverse engineering the protocol
that is used to talk to the main board. Therefore, finishing up the
firmware should not take much time from here on.
Once the front panel is working, we can move towards a stable release of the
firmware. I have some more ideas to work on, but those can and will be
extensions to a finalized first stable release.
This code might not yet be production-ready.
At this point, I would call it alpha-quality. Mainly in the sense that the
interfaces that have been implemented so far might still change.
The new firmware is currently being tested and depending on the actual
use cases and issues that we might run into, breaking changes could still
be done at some point.
## Is it safe to install this firmware on my device?

I have two lamps that both are running the latest development firmware and
they are functioning very well as far as the light feature is concerned.
they are functioning very well.
I sometimes see API disconnection issues, but those can all be traced back
to the underlying frameworks. For the most prevalent issue, I did some
debugging and wrote a fix (it is mentioned below).

## Issue: the device keeps losing its connection to Home Assistant
This is not a problem with the device or the custom firmware, but a problem
in the upstream library "AsyncTCP". I did identify the issue and have a
proposed fix for it. The issue was reported at:
