[Solved]A socket error occurred when sending the command python

Yeelight LED Bulb (Color)
#1

I want to connect to my bulb using python with this code, but there is problem :

import socket

msg = 'M-SEARCH * HTTP/1.1\r\n' \
	      'ST:wifi_bulb\r\n' \
	      'MAN:"ssdp:discover"\r\n'

# Set up UDP socket
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM, socket.IPPROTO_UDP)
s.settimeout(10)
s.sendto(msg.encode(), ('239.255.255.250', 1982))

print(s.recvfrom(65507))

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/ali/a.py", line 12, in <module>
	print(s.recvfrom(65507))
socket.timeout: timed out

Any other command had this problem (yeelight.main.BulbException: A socket error occurred when sending the command.)

The problem is your code didn’t get any response within 10 seconds and raise an exception. Are you sure you have opened the developer mode of the bulb?
You can use our demo to test, if our demo is working, it’s your code’s issue, otherwise, you need to find out why response is not received.

Exactly ! there is no developer option in my mi app !
I use your demo and result is same !
I think this is the problem, how can i enable developer mode when there is no option in my app ?
How can i reset to factory my bulb ?

Thanks for your answer.

You need to search and download “Yeelight” app in App store. This is Mijia App not Yeelight.
