hi,
I bought the Yeelight strip about a week ago and have had numerous issues with the connection of it with the router from day 1
Points that i have noticed and added:
1: The strip shows Wifi as “yeelight_strip…” on any platform. (Android and IOS)
2: The light is detected in the Mi home app and also the Yeelight app. (on both Android and IOS)
3: I have reset about a total of 20+ times in order to connect but to no avail, have tried on both IOS and Android Hotspot’s(2.4 ghz) also tried a Wifi (2.4 ghz) router also a Wifi extender (2.4 ghz) non of them connect neither in the mi home nor Yeelight app, Yeelight app gets stuck at 25 on IOS and gets time out on Android
4:Mi home app shows bring device near to router no matter trying with router or with with hotspot nothing works
5: in every case that iu have tried the blinking orange/yellow light turns to solid blue and apon restarting blue starts blinking after reseting it goes back to blinking yellow
6:the mac address shows on the routers as connected device every time (router shows yeelight as connected and hotspot also shows yeelight connected)
7: even after router / hotspot detecting as yeelight connect app shows connection timed out or failed
all devices are up to date and also all devices have the most lastest apps of both yeelight and mi home
pls help i have tried all and everything and like this i will recommend to not approach for the yeelight strip ass it gives alot of problems
