Yeelight app for RGB E27

Aust on 04/11/2017 - 10:54

Hi All,
I recently purchased 2 bulbs from the deal : https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/335136

Work great however the problem I have is within the Yeelight app.
In the IOS version there is no way to schedule times of day for turning on or off, only a timer function up to 60 minutes.
There are plenty of video on line showing people setting up there Yeelights to do this but they all seem to using andriod phones, not ios.

Does anyone know if this is the case or suggest an alternative app. I'm not going down the way of full automation just lights at this stage.
Thanks

    I don't have an Apple so can't really help you directly but with Android there are 2 apps you can control your yeelight with.

    The yeelight app & the mi home app. Have you checked if Apple is the same? You might be able to set it up in the mi home app.

    Yes, tried Mi home app and its the same, no option to schedule times.

    I use the IFTTT app to schedule when my lights turn on or off. Restrictions are 15 min increments and a slight delay (approx 1 min) for it to activate.

    Thanks, i'll look into that, is it restricted to only the singapore or chinese server for the Yeelights?

      You have to setup using Yeelight app using Singapore region first
      Then use IFTTT app, to link to your yeelight app

    The option is there in the Yeelight app, if you select a device it'll go to a screen where you can select some predefined scenes. Anyway on the bottom right there's an icon with a triangle and a line below it. When you click that the Schedules option is there. To use a schedule you'll need to select a scene either a predefined one or create your own.
