These lights don't need a controller, have polished iOS and Android Apps, a programming API https://www.yeelight.com/en_US/developer, and integration with Domoticz https://www.domoticz.com/ home automation software. (I helped with the the integration and think these lights are currently the best option considering price/performance).

IFTTT support http://forum.yeelight.com/t/yeelight-ifttt-service-is-now-of…

HomeKit support http://forum.yeelight.com/t/homebridge-plugin/83

Also Smart socket/plug for $13.13 http://aud.dx.com/product/original-xiaomi-zigbee-version-mi-…, I think this needs the Xiaomi Gateway though, which is worth getting imho.

    Nice price. I remember when these were $25 for one.

    I wasn't aware of the API, thanks for the link.

    Has anyone test the new IFTTT support (Singapore server only)?

    Was just reading about Domoticz for the first time on Friday and read through almost the whole thread for the Xiaomi products and noticed you were doing a lot for it.

    Keep up the good work mate!

    I had one that I bought last year, if u gonna set up , don't use xiaomi smart home app, use the Yeelight app , xiaomi home app just doesn't seems to sync with the bulb, took me few hours to figure that out :( , Yeelight app is nice and easy to use, can set schedule too, like when u want it to turn on and when off, very user friendly

    Note that the smart socket doesn't fit many Australian outlets properly. Because the Chinese plug is basically upside down when plugging the unit into a double GPO it hits the GPOs power switch. A single outlet with the switch to the side would be OK, but the doubles or powerboards with the switch above don't really work.

    Also I've been unable to get the app or anything to switch it…

    • Rutger on 15/01/2017 - 17:03

      Correct about hitting the switch (so use on a powerboard) but I've had no problems getting it to turn devices on and off. Make sure you pick the server China Mainland not Singapore as I couldn't get any devices to work from the Singapore server.

      • Shonky on 15/01/2017 - 17:48

        Yep I initially used Singapore but then realised I had to use the China one. I can't even get the app to find the device from memory.

        It's been a while since I looked at it so memory is a little hazy but I spent quite a bit of time trying to get it to work with no luck.

    • corbin on 16/01/2017 - 02:02

      do you have the Zigbee or WiFi version of the smart socket?

      • Shonky on 16/01/2017 - 09:12

        Should be the Wifi one although the description at the time did mention both. Wifi was the more prominent function described for sure.

    • supersabroso on 16/01/2017 - 02:41

      Agreed but the problem is easily fixed with a 60c universal plug adapter to raise it up above the switch.

      • Shonky on 16/01/2017 - 09:11

        Besides adding more illegal items house wiring they are usually quite loose and then the whole contraption sticks out a long way. Adapter + Smart Socket + upside down power pack doesn't work all that great hanging off a wall GPO.

  • OzSikh on 15/01/2017 - 14:19

    How bright ars they ?? Speacially when it's only 600 lumens

    • Shonky on 15/01/2017 - 15:07
      +1

      That's only roughly 40W equivalent in the old incandescent. Lumens is the right way to measure light output though.

  • Rutger on 15/01/2017 - 17:07

    I use these with Home Assistant. The component version in the release doesn't like the White Yeelights (works but gives errors) but the development one is fine.

  • xuqi on 15/01/2017 - 19:38

    Are these certified for Australian use?

    What happens with your home insurance with regards to fire if you use these?

      you will die, and your insurance will be void

      • xuqi on 15/01/2017 - 19:44

        Thanks, knowing how insurance will use any excuse not to pay, these are better.

        They have 2 year local warranty too.

        • corbin on 15/01/2017 - 19:46

          Very important consideration, insurance will try to get out of paying for any reason. And so they should, being in business to make money.

    • joelmuzz on 16/01/2017 - 12:03

      If they have been identified as the cause of the fire then insurance will be void.
      Simply having them doesnt void insurance though, they have to be shown to have been the cause.

  • frente69 on 15/01/2017 - 22:21

    All the smart light seem to be a screw fitting. Why don't they come in Frankenstein fitting. I haven't even seen a socket with a screw fitting before 😪

    • corbin on 16/01/2017 - 02:09

      bayonet is available https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/286881

    • supersabroso on 16/01/2017 - 02:40

      Bayonet fittings are ancient (older than 20 years by my guess). All new lights are screw fittings. You can get adapters to fix this problem.

      • knk on 16/01/2017 - 09:40

        I've found anything where the globes bayonet is facing the ceiling (IE gravity doing it's job) has been bayonet. At least in any house I've been in.

        Any light fitting where the globe mounts sideways / horizontally it's been screw. I'm fairly sure they still use bayonet fittings?

        • [Deactivated] on 16/01/2017 - 09:51
          +1

          yep. I bought a lamp recently that's bayonet

        • supersabroso on 16/01/2017 - 10:06

          Hmmm, you could be right, I haven't seen a bayonet fitting since a decade ago in my parent's house which is 20 years old. I've rented a new place every year (some as old as 20 years).

          Now I think about it, all the places I've rented all have fittings that were horizontal with the exception of the vertical ones in the bathroom (also screw). All my lamps are all vertical but they are edison screws.

          The one thing I hate more than bayonet are these down lights. They are a plague of a new trend, can't replace them with smart lights, apparently they have a transformer and work on 12V or something stupid like that.

        • knk on 16/01/2017 - 10:15

          @supersabroso:

          Yeah both the houses I own upon purchasing had the standard bayonet fixing. When I replaced them with nicer fittings I had to buy all new globes :(. Houses are both around 10 years old.

          I agree on the downlights, the missus wanted them in the new house but I just couldn't be bothered organizing / mounting it all before we painted. With downlights if I understand correctly you basically wire in a power supply and connect that one supply to all your lights. Your light switches then run to the lights and just act as a switch as opposed to supplying live power as they conventionally would.

        • Shonky on 16/01/2017 - 10:20

          @knk:
          No that's not how conventional downlights work. The switch still supplies the "live power" as you call it.

        • knk on 16/01/2017 - 10:24

          @Shonky:
          I see, what is the purpose / reasoning of the separate power supply which is required then if the switch is providing power? Or does the switch run to the inverter and then 12v is provided?

        • Shonky on 16/01/2017 - 10:25

          @knk:
          Example?

        • knk on 16/01/2017 - 10:29

          @Shonky:
          I've never personally looked at a setup, only discussed with an electrician a while back but my understanding was that since a separate power supply was required(12v iirc) (and powered multiple lights) was that it'd need to be wired separately.

          Never personally done the work myself.

          edit: or are you saying there is no separate power supply, IE a self contained unit?

        • Shonky on 16/01/2017 - 10:35

          @knk:
          Basically the "normal" way is the switch switches 240 VAC active to a transformer in the roof that steps down to 12 VAC. The switched 240 VAC from one switch may go to more than one transformer. It's usually one transformer per downlight that just sits in the roof next to the actual fitting.

          Unless that was some kind of special downlight that required always on power so it could be controlled from a home automation system or something.

        • knk on 16/01/2017 - 10:37

          @Shonky:

          I see, some systems I looked at had a controller and used one power supply for multiple lights. The situation you described sounds like considerably less of a headache for installation.

        • Shonky on 16/01/2017 - 10:41

          @knk:
          Yes I'm talking about the most common kind of solution here.

          Yes, it's basically a drop in for existing light fittings. Still needs an electrician but generally no new wiring would need to be run in a 1:1 replacement.

          However, downlights have limited field of lighting so you'll need more than one in a bedroom as an example. This will require more units paralleled, more wiring etc. I have a couple of bedrooms with only two (opposite corners) and it's not quite enough really.

        • knk on 16/01/2017 - 10:42

          @Shonky:

          I didn't realise that was the most common solution to them lol. That makes me glad I didn't go for them though, last thing I want is to have to have additional installed.

      • frente69 on 16/01/2017 - 13:36

        Did that change in the last few years? I built a house 8 years ago and the sparkies were still using bayonet. I am surprised by this revelation.

  • Raynes on 18/01/2017 - 01:13

    Price gone up to $23.39?

    • corbin on 20/01/2017 - 21:05

      you can find them around for less than that, but $10.29 was a great price.
