Hi all Alexa users,
Recently Alexa team updated their API and added color changing and color temperature changing support. We have updated our skill accordingly. Now you can try to change color and color temperature without creating scenes in Yeelight app.
BIG NOTE: the API is currently only available for US account, per their information, UK and German support is coming soon, we will support it at the first time and let EU users know.
Amazon’s note:
These messages set the color for a light, or set, increment and decrement the color temperature of a tunable white light. Currently these directives are supported in the US only.
Color changing example:
“Alexa, set the device name to color”
“Alexa, set the bedroom light to red”
“Alexa, change the kitchen to the color blue”
Color temperature mapping:
Shades of White ColorTemperature value (in degrees Kelvin)
warm, warm white 2200
incandescent, soft white 2700
white 4000
daylight, daylight white 5500
cool, cool white 7000 (if device can’t support 7000k, then max supported CT will be used)
Color temperature changing example:
“Alexa, change the device name to shade of white”
“Alexa, make the living room warm white”
“Alexa, set the kitchen to daylight”
Increase color temperature:
“Alexa, set the device name cooler/whiter”
“Alexa, set the dining room cooler”
“Alexa, make the living room light whiter”
Decrease color temperature:
“Alexa, set the device name warmer/softer”
“Alexa, set the dining room softer”
“Alexa, make the living room warmer”
