      I think it's supposed to say Phillips, but perhaps Xiaomi is like one of my former workplaces, where getting two divisions of the same organisation to collaborate was a major achievement.

  • [Deactivated] on 05/08/2017 - 21:13

    This doesn't make sense. Philips have their own eco system (Hue) which is superior to pretty much every other type of smart lighting. This is not it, or even an imitation.

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 05/08/2017 - 21:19

      Many companies often have trouble breaking into the Chinese market, so teaming up with one of the largest companies well known for their smart home gadgets makes sense. It's a joint venture and separate to Philips Hue. The Xiaomi Philips products are found in Xiaomi's stores.

          LIFX > HUE > Xiaomi

        • [Deactivated] on 06/08/2017 - 09:34

          @jackwoz: LIFX bulbs are too big and aren't as good as the Hue ecosystem. Hue has walls switches, candle bulbs, GU10s, motion sensors and they all just work.

        • AlienC on 06/08/2017 - 11:08

        • jackwoz on 06/08/2017 - 12:42

          @Burnertoasty: They may be slightly bigger. Gen 1 were huge but got a lot smaller with gen 2. Yes, there is a Hue eco system to go a long with the globes, but as far as globes go LIFX are better. If you want an eco system for the LIFX, im currently trying 'home assistant' on a raspberry pi, but there is defiantly a learning curve and not for the faint hearted.

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 06/08/2017 - 08:44

          They're not Yeelight as these are made directly by Xiaomi with Philips. Yeelight are a separate company with Xiaomi as a major investor.

      no, only the Yeelight branded ones, setup off the SIngapore server can.

      Yeelight is Xiaomi's attempt to go international/US.
      This is Philip's attempt to go Chinese.

      • OzBen on 06/08/2017 - 13:57

    Nice price. Just be advised that the Philips bulbs wont work on the stand alone yeelinght app, only on the Mi Home app.

  • jackau on 05/08/2017 - 23:00

    i am using the Yi lights and they work pretty well combine with xiaomis mi control suite and its smart hardware home control, this version is a collaboration with Philips which add the capacity to change warm to cool not just brightness. I am waiting for two of these to be taken back to Aus via a friend in china… but no time slot in sight hence i cant review them, base on the colour version of yi light and normal version, they work fine in the Australian 240v environment, given two of my ALDI brought German made LED blew within one year… i said the xiaomis are rather quality lol.

      The article actually references a 1989 study on fluorescent globes by the same academic which said that fluros apparently gave people headaches. He now assumes that it they gave people headaches when they dim to 35% each cycle then LED's that dim to 0% each cycle must be worse. There is no new study, just a Daily Mail click bait article

      Actually it says

      Professor Wilkins said: 'No similar study has yet been performed for LED lights. But because LED flickering is even more pronounced, with the light dimming by 100 per cent rather than the roughly 35 per cent of fluorescent lamps, there's a chance that LEDs could be even more likely to cause headaches.

      So a psychologist, is looking for funding to do a new study.

          Hey mate, what exact application are you using to turn on/off the bulbs? I posted above that I could register the bulb but not control it through the MiHome app. (used the QR code that came with the bulb to download the app, and also downloaded the app from appstore).

        • Knightelf on 29/08/2017 - 15:02

          @test34forone:

          I'm on iOS, so maybe you guys are on Android?

          I am using the Mi Home app from app store, chose China as locale, added the philips bulb (make sure it's the right one), then it asks for my wifi password, then it says join the lightbulb's wifi network and it does its thing. When the bulb is added on my list of devices I can click into it and it goes to a screen with a bulb in the middle. Clicking on the bulb turns it on/off, sliding up/down adjusts brightness and sliding left/right adjusts the colour.

        • test34forone on 29/08/2017 - 15:43

          @Knightelf: Thanks for the response. Yep I'm on android. I'll ty with IOS and selecting China as locale. Everything is the same for me except when i select the bulb from the list nothing happens.

          Cheers,

        • zakma on 29/08/2017 - 18:39

    开灯状态下，5秒内快速关/开灯泡电源5次或以上，灯泡闪烁5次则重置成功。

    In English this says turn the light off and on 5 or more times it will then flash 5 times which means it's reset

    But then I get the same problem as this
