Lan Control is disabled? According Yeelight they will continue to support lan support but why mine is still disabled?

One of the reasons I bought this bulb is that I can do LAN CONTROL on it, it’s an unprofessional way of deleting already bought features without an announcement. After years of owning this product, you can’t simply change or remove this feature, I can do many good things with LAN control like sync with my F.lux now without it I wouldn’t even call this a “smart bulb”.

According to Yeelight support

"Hello everyone,

Recently we have noticed some misunderstandings on LAN control support.

Yeelight has been committed to creating an open software ecosystem; Yeelight-branded products have been continuing to support LAN control in Yeelight App.

Thank you."

My MI ID is: 6571383837 (Asia and Oceania (Singapore))

Please help me out.

Thanks.

Hey, guys found a workaround for this issue.

Get an android phone > download yee light 3.2.59 > from there you can enable your LAN CONTROL.

Now I’m able to use this bulb back again with my f.lux. Also, you can now use the same account on your iPhone or any latest yee light app. The LAN CONTROL still works but will not be visible

Cheers!

TO XIAOMI/YEELIGHT FIX THIS MESS. YOU HAVE BROKEN THIS FEATURE FOR MANY USERS AND VERY UNETHICAL FROM YOUR SIDE TO DO THIS!! YOU WILL LOSE YOUR CUSTOMER INCLUDING ME IN FUTURE IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!
