all of what you said still means phone to me

ikea bulbs for example have a remote like this https://www.ikea.com/PIAimages/0609380_PE684491_S5.JPG?f=s

>He doesn't have Alexa constantly listening in his home

get a load of this fag

My brother in law has both an Alexa and a Google home

I dont know why

Twice the listening in capabilities

I just turned on my Chinese smart light actually

Wifi, dimmable. Works with my Google home. All the rgb colors

@Cole I have all my lights connected to Home Assistant

yeelight allows for direct LAN control so setting everything up takes mere minutes

I've looked into IKEA's tradfri but for my usecase (multiple bulbs + HASS support) I'd either have to go all DIY with a zigbee usb receiver or buy the additional $40 hub

figured yeelight was a better option since I already had two

yes yes but this assumes you already have a smart home system, I don't and I don't want to set one up

as far as I looked there is no physical remote such as the IKEA one

for yeetlights

sad

yeelight is supported by xiaomi's smarthome stuff though

you can control them using aqara switches for example

but that does bring the requirement of a gateway hub

So what do the yeelights connect to?

wifi

@Cole you'll want to go with tradfri bulbs then I guess

they don't require a hub if all you want to do is control it via physical remotes

I have one and I like the physical remote BUT I'd also welcome phone control

I think controlling them via google assistant/ikea app does require their hub

smart market doesn't cater to me reeeeeee

oh then just get the ikea hub

yeah but that's like what, 30 euro for this one smaaaaaaaaaall use case that I have

pretty much all remotes are BLE/zigbee based so that won't really work with yeelight bulbs out of the box

@Cole there's also philips hue if you're a rich piece of shit

those bulbs go for like $40 each because fuck your shit

I do not understand why they're so expensive

Because people will pay it

yeah fuck everything about that I'd rather pull out another unused lightbulb from the fucking 80's from my cellar

sonuva bitch apparently the xiaomi gateway supports tradfri too

based

yeah I heard about that working but you needed some workarounds?

guess I'll have to pick up some tradfri e14 bulbs tomorrow

no idea
