Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[Unreleased]

Changed

• A fix has been implemented to prevent the lamp from being disconnected from Home Assistant a lot (resulting in the lamp becoming unavailable). Fixes issue #19. ESPHome v?.?.? or higher is required for making this fix work.
• Transitions are now fully suppressed when in night light mode. In that mode, LED output levels are too low for producing good looking transitions. Fixes issue #10.
• The example.yaml now uses my own arduino-esp32 unicore build.
• Formatted the codebase using the ESPHome clang rules.
• The flashing guide got a big update, with detailed pictures for every step on the way.

Added

• New documentation section: Technical details (it's all about the internals)

[1.0.0-RC1]

Changed

• The documentation has been restructured.

Added

• Support for disco mode-style light updates through the light.disco_on and light.disco_off actions. The light.disco_on action can be used to configure the lamp state without delay, without publishing the update and without saving the state. The light.disco_off action will restore the lamp to its last save state, so from before the light.disco_on updates.
• Support for configuring light presets, making it possible to mimic the lamp's original firmware feature to switch light color using the color button. This fixes issue #8.
• New documentation section: Configuration guide (explaining all the YAML file configuration options).

[1.0-beta]

Changed

• The component was renamed from "yeelight_bs2" to "xiaomi_bslamp2". The reasoning behind this can be found in issue #7.

Added

• Component "text_sensor" that publishes changes in the light mode ("off", "night", "rgb", "white"), This fixes issue #6.
• Documentation improvements and a better example.yaml.

[1.0-alpha]

Added

• All light modes for the lamp have been implemented:
  • RGB light (colored light, based on red/green/blue and brightness)
  • White light (based on color temperature and brightness)
  • Night light (either RGB- or White light, but highly dimmed; enabled by setting brightness to 1%)
• Component "light" for controlling the LEDs.
• Component "binary_sensor" that act as touch/release sensors for power button, color button and slider.
• Component "sensor" that report the level at which the slider was touched.
• Component "output" for controlling the front panel light and its level indicator.
