>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?
@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
please post when you figure it out, kinda interested
I'll pick one up tomorrow for my bedlight
