I would just like to ask for your help. I recently bought some downlights and spotlights. I had to change the region of my xiaomi app to China for the devices to be detected.
I still couldn’t use the lights as they are still offline.
What should I do? do I have to buy another device to make it work? I’m from the Philippines btw.
These devices are BLE mesh based devices, they should be work with bluetooth mesh gateway. Currently only two of Yeelight voice assistant, Xiaomi Xiaoai smart alarm clock support.
Yes you need a new Gateway, the Xiaomi aI Clock or the Yeelight AI Speaker.
I’m using the Xiaomi AI Clock.
The Xiao AI Assistant only speaks Chinese and show you chinese Time.
But if you change your Time on your Phone minus or plus the time difference to China and add the clock to your mi Home, then it will show the right time.
You can add Yeelight to Google Home and it will find the Light.
Yeelight App itself not find the BLE Lights, but google home will find it…
Also Samsung Smartthings will find the BLE Lights, but this is not working properly
@JorgeTeixeira We are working support mesh device in Yeelight device, will release in next update.
Yeelight and Mihome share the same cloud server, so if you add device to one of the apps, it should be there in another app. Actually, we should support mesh devices at the first time when these products release, however there are some technical limit.
That’s also my problem I couldn’t update them. I’m not sure if it’s because of my area. My actual location is here in the Philippines but the region I chose for the Mi App is China (it’s the only Asian region where the spotlight and downlight shows up)
For me the Update did only work when my phone was located next to the Light. Looks like the Light is getting the Firmware Data from the Phones Bluetooth…
If it is not working, try it again and again. it took my about 5-10 Try´s for some Lights
