I want to use IFTTT then i should switch to Singapore server.
But in Singapore I cannot use all Xiaomi products (sensors, gateway, etc.).
So the question is:
can i have the same 24 bulb registered to Singapore and Chinaland server at same time?
This will let me use Chinalanda server for all Automations and Singapore for IFTTT routines.
Is this the right way to move? There is another solution?
Currently only Singapore server supports IFTTT. You can’t use multiple servers at the same time. Sorry for this situation. I believe other Xiaomi products will support Singapore server later.
You are right - i saw that Yeelight has a public API and a “developer mode”.
So in theory should be possibile to have a very “open-source” way to control Yeelight.
The problem is the XIAOMI side, for example all the Sensors because they don’t have any Public API available at this moment.
Hi, does it mean that the Xiaomi gateway will be able to support singapore server or they will release singapore/international version of gateway? Or we can have Yeelight to be registered under multiple server?
I am waiting to buy a new set of gateway but hesitate about the server issue.
Great
Till then Will try 2 accounts @ xiaomi
One for automation and A few yeelights @ China Mainland server
And One for A few yeelights with alexa @ Singapore server
Two accounts
One for automation: in my case for working with the Gateway, wireless switches and sensors to turn a couple yeelights on.
Use this account with the “Mi Home” app and set it for Mainland China (Settings - Language locale -> Mainland China)
Now you can’t use Mi Home linked to Alexa (Google?) because of the server
One for only Yeelights (no automation)
Use this account with the “Yeelight” app and set it for Singapore
(Settings - Server Locale -> Singapore)
Link the Yeelight account to Alexa (Google?)
Now you can use Alexa for a couple yeelights you want to change by speech or use the Yeelight app to change them.
Use automation for other yeelights or use the Mi Home app to change them.
Singapore server linked to Alexa and Yeelight app on my Phone
This is just a solution till Xiaomi automation products will accept Singapore server and can be linked with Alexa (Google?)
My Gateway hasn’t arrived yet but setup should work (tested two account with Yeelights and apps)
My only worry is how much distance the Gateway and other automation can have.
Next week i will reply my answer
