How will this effect my Xiaomi buttons I have set up to turn on/off my yeelight bulbs? Or the smart magic cube? I Guess they are in different servers as the Xiaomi ecosystem needs to be on mainland China and the yeelight bulbs on Singapore for Alexa / IFTTT integration.
Also… can I have the account for both yeelight and Xiaomi smart devices (including router and buttons) set up and operational on android and iphone simultaneously?
Xiaomi buttons and magic cube are connecting to China Mainland server…
In MiHome app, you can also choose them to Singapore server, but the inter-operation feature is missing now.
Unfortunately you are not correct and Xiaomi devises can connect to SGP server only in theory but not in fact.
Please compare screenshots made for SGP and China servers respectively. If you know any tricks I’ll be more then happy to try, but so far it looks like this:
OK, it’s may related to some product or sales policy. You can’t find Yeelight White Bulb in the list, but you can connect it through Yeelight app to Singapore server.
The limitation/restriction logic is residing in the mobile app, not the backend.
Same thing for here (I am actually based in Singapore…) will this app restriction be turned off ready for when we can eventually operate them all together?
For IFTTT… I would love to be able to have lists change Colour scene when the weather changes and also get the flights to flash a certain Colour when I get an email/ message etc…
Thanks for sending me the beta details. Unfortunately I cannot find my Yeelight in the device discovery for Alexa. Yeelight is showing in the home skills and my server is Singapore but no joy.
It’s really strange because I have deployed the service in UK already… Could you let me know your XiaoMi ID so I can have a double check to make sure all your devices are really connecting to Singapore?
Also, have you successfully completed the account linking procedure?
I have completed the account linking procedure I believe (a couple of times) and also tried reinstalling the app. I have just sent you my ID via email.
I have succesfully linked IFTTT with my colored Yeelight bulb. It really works like a charm! Even with Alexa for IFTTT.
But if I want to discover my Smart Home Devices on Alexa, I can’t find that bulb. Yes, it said, Alexa has been successfully linked with Yeelight and the Skill is showing up also. Is there a difference to the UK?
I am from Germany, is this the reason? I send you the Xiaomi ID via mail.
Thanks in advance! Great I can help bugfixing (I hope)!
P.S.: I recently realized, that in IFTTT the “Change color temperature” and “Change color” will let me choose the device and all my scenes, but it doesn’t work if I choose one and test it. On both. On the other hand under “Set scene” I only get “Options unavailable”. But toggling works perfekt! Also setting brightness works!
