Getting this error. That is not my path to YeeLightDevice.cs, so not sure if it's because of that. Do any ports have to be opened on router btw?

You need to make sure Aurora is allowed for both outbound and inbound networking in Windows Firewall, follow https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4558235/windows-10-allow-an-app-through-microsoft-defender-firewall

That worked. Thanks! What's weird is I did not have this rule in before and it seemed to work in an earlier version. Maybe updating to new Win10 v2004 reset something.

If selecting Away Effects in Aurora and doing Blackout (turns everything black/off), Yeelight stays at same full brightness and last color (e.g. red). Is there a way to dim it at least? I know if you turn it off it loses connection. But at least maybe set brightness to 0?

It's not possible to set brightness to 0 and even 1 is bright enough to light a room.

Which Yeelight bulb and firmware are you using? This has been definitely addressed I think. Can show you photos of my 1S bulbs (YLDP13YL) with minimum brightness vs maximum brightness. Or you mean those settings aren't exposed in API?

If you could add a brightness slider into your plugin (global brightness for all effects is okay) I could show you difference on 1S bulbs.

What I'm saying is that API doesn't allow brightness value 0, it's even specified in the API documents.

Ah, yes I see that.

Method:set_brightUsage:This method is used to change the brightness of a smart LED.Parameters:3."brightness" is the target brightness. The type is integer and rangesfrom 1 to 100. The brightness is a percentage instead of a absolute value. 100 meansmaximum brightness while 1 means the minimum brightness."effect": Refer to "set_ct_abx" method."duration": Refer to "set_ct_abx" method.Request Example: {"id":1,"method":"set_bright","params":[50, "smooth", 500]}Response Example: {"id":1, "result":["ok"]}NOTE:Only accepted if the smart LED is currently in "on" state.

Could you please try setting of 1?

In mean time I think I will reach out to Yeelight and ask them to add option of passing brightness of 0 to soft turn off the light while keeping connection. Should be an easy thing for them to add.

It won't be any useful, maybe setting to white when the color is black could be done though, as white is the default color.

Is there a way to turn down brightness on the specific key I got yeelight connected to at least then? e.g. all keys 100% brightness except ESC key at 25% brightness
