I have observed that in many cases after using night vision the cam doesn't set back to color vision - even when disabling IR/night vision mode and the brightness is actually sufficient. When restarting the cam the color vision appears correctly and it is not to dark. I think, that some tresholds won't be reached or exceeded so that the camera remains in black/white mode. Is there any possibility to activate manually the color-mode without rebooting the cam? Or is there any way to manipulate the tresholds the cam using? I activate/deactivated IR/night vision via wget call
wget -q -O - 'http://IP-CAM:8080/cgi-bin/camera_settings.sh?ir=yes'
which works great. But even with deactivated IR/night vision the black/white-view stays sometimes active for a while.

Thanks for any ideas.

Sorry but there is no way to configure ir and cut filter.
They are handled by the Yi processes.

Even if there is no way to configure the filter - is there maybe a way to send an command to manually trigger/force the color mode? Because the ir itself I could control with the
wget -q -O - 'http://IP-CAM:8080/cgi-bin/camera_settings.sh?ir=yes' and wget -q -O - 'http://IP-CAM:8080/cgi-bin/camera_settings.sh?ir=no' at runtime and this call is made from homematic (home automation) when sensing low or high light at an dedicated light-sensor. An manual trigger (even an ssh-command) would be enough for me, even if the camera can't do it by itself.

At this time I reboot the camera and then the firmware set the color mode (and shut off cut filter). Is it maybe possible to restart only the yi-service without rebooting to speed it up? Or is there any kind of sniffer which i can run (when camera is in low light) to sniff commands from the firmware itself, which maybe could help in that case?
