Trouble connecting to Yeelight / Mi LED Smart Bulb (White and Color)

[kirbwxyz]

Hi there,

I’m having trouble connecting my new bulb to Xiaomi Home app. The app cant seem to detect the bulb, even though I have reset a number of times. I also followed the troubleshooting advised below:

I’m upto step 3, where my lightbulb does not appear in my router’s DHCP list.

• Here are my router settings for 2.4hz channel. No special characters in the password. And it’s not hitting the limit of devices
  

  

• My XiaoMi Home app is connected to China server (and works well with Mi Hub and other Aqara devices)

Yeelight E26/27 LED RGB not connecting to Wifi

For the connection issue, you can check by the following steps to see where the problem is:

1）Reset the lamp by power on and off fives times in a row, and then see if there’s AP named like “yeelink-light-***” in your phone’s wifi list? If yes, go to see Step 2; If no, it means there’s something wrong with the wifi module of your lamp;

2）In Yeelight/MiHome application, add the lamp you want to connect. Make sure there’s no special character of your router’s password. If the connection successes, congratulations, if not, go to Step 3;

3）See if the lamp in your router’s DHCP list, if yes, it means there’s something wrong with connection between your router and Mi cloud. Please have a check with your ISP if it blocks some domain of xiaomi. If there’s not the lamp in your router’s DHCP list, it means, the lamp has problems to connect to your router. So please have a check if your router block the lamp or your router has connected as more devices as it can connect.

So please have a check that which step do you stuck?

Thanks for your reply. I think I have found the issue. FYI - I live in New Zealand. Can you advise how I can keep my region setting as China so that the bulb works with my other devices? (as all my other MiJia products work on China server but not other regions)

I downloaded the Yeelight App:

• Singapore server - it works!
• China server - cant find the light bulb

I did the same in Mi Home App:

• China region (my previous setting when I had issues) - cant find the light bulb
• Change to Singapore location - it works!

No fix. I returned it. Bought a China mi lightbulb from AliExpress
