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

please post when you figure it out, kinda interested

I'll pick one up tomorrow for my bedlight

shit if this works I can replace some bulbs in my kitchen too

@🚂Quatroking🚂 (🇳🇱) i don't think it does

i just noticed ikea lights in the mijia app though

it's on their "add device" list

ikea and xiaomi partnered a few months back

but it was for different devices afaik

Is Xiaomi going to be directly credited, or are they acting as a whitebox

```In the Xiaomii Home App (formerly Mi Home App) the first smart lamps of the Swedish furniture giant can now be selected, at least if you have selected the server “Mainland China” within the app.```

```Although the entire Smart-Home lighting from IKEA’s product range is to be compatible with the voice control of the Mi Home App, Mijia App and Xiao AI, there are currently only five IKEA lamps in the Mi Home App. It is likely to be slow to take off and more smart home products will follow over time. The lamps are simple illuminants of the “TRÅDFRI product line”, of which two are equipped with E26, one with E12 and two with GU10 socket.```
