Hello. Would you please tell me how? By automatic seach it will find lights on CN server only, when I choose EU server and lamps are in connecting mode, MiHome APP don’t see them and it is also not in supported devices. Phone screenshots attached.
PS: CN=Mainland China, EU=Czech republic, more devices on screenshot is CN server, less is EU server
Hello, i’ve been reading about yeelight bulbs here. I have a question that may suits in this post. I’ve bought 2 YLDP06YL and a switch dimmer, that are being shipped now. As I’ve been reading, I can throw the dimmer away because it does not work with the bulbs. So my question is, is there any way to have a physical swtich for the bulbs (I don’t want to use the app or Google every time)? For example, if I buy the xiaomi gateway and the wireless switch, will them work with the bulbs?
The switches are virtualy the same IMHO. I have like 3 of those, but I’d recomend Aqara… they have better feeling when pressed. With round switches I get hit and miss functionality, sometimes it is not triggered, then double click is interpreted as single, ane normal press is interpreted as long, etc. Even though round switches support double click and long click, this doesn’t work very well.
Hi sir,
Currently, there is no way to connect your light to Czech republic server in Mi home app.
You can try to use Yeelight app or change your server to the China server.
Why is that happened? What crazy mind made the yeelights unavailable for EU server? I wanted to close the china server connection but not possible to go for EU? Why? Without the lights my BT thermometers also cant work.
As has been said so many times - Xiaomi has 2 device groups, china and international. And you can’t mix them. China devices are region locked to China server, international devices are region locked to other servers. Yeelight uses same servers. Yeelight devices are NOT region locked, but servers are. So if you use Yeelight app, it will work on any server, but if you use Xiaomi servers you have to be in correct region. Buy either all Chinese devices and use China server or all International devices and use local server.
I have the same question. Yeelight is now selling officially in Portugal this lights but still no European server support. Before I understood the reason, but now that u are selling it officially in Europe there is no reason for not supporting mi home europe server.
I bought 5x Yeelight YLXD01YL and 1x YLDL01YL from a site in Germany but I can’t add them to MiHome on EUR server.
What a shame. It’s a really bad experience from a customer perspective. I can’t add automatizations with motion sensors.
Hi everybody. Glad to hear that I am not only one with the problem.
So what i did with all my devices?
Xiaomi gw2 (CN version) with all sensors
— left on CN server in mihome app on email1
— problem is that I can’t connect them to Google home anyway
all yeelight devices
— on eu server in yeelight app on email2
— connected to Google home by yeelight account
roborock s5max
— connected in roborock app on email2
— connected to Google Home by Roborock account
-all PoerSmart thermostatic ventiles
— connected to poer app
— connected to Google home by poer account
Problems/solutions
Xiaomi do not reflect about smart home compatibility adding for eu servers, just new products
problem to automatize: Just only possiblity are Routines in Google home (phone must be switched to EN to see routines option. I did not see them when I had phone in Czech language)
what about sensors that has been left on CN server? I just set automation in mihome to send notification to phone for some, rest are just informative when I like to check them
if I knew that before, i would buy aqara version to set all with google home. Aqara account could be added into Google Home (if I am right) so automatize should be possible at Google Home.
tip: have a friend who builds smart home on Tuya staff and I think Tuya i possible to add in to Google Home so maybe also possible solution. They have a lot staff to buy
