JeeLight is an awesome software for controlling Yeelight devices from a PC. It was developed due to there being literally only one other similar app available for PC, which could only control 1 Yeelight at a time – JeeLight can control up to 8 simultaneously, and has a ton of additional features for the user to play with.
Think of JeeLight as being the ultimate Yeelight experience for PC – whether you need ambient lighting for your office, a powerful Ambilight Mode that enhances immersion, or creating scenes and lighting presets for hosting parties, JeeLight can do everything you need.
-
JeeLight’s Core Features:
-
Real Ambilight (“Ambilight creates light effects that correspond to the screen content.”)
- The capturing Zones can be set up individually for each Light by drag&drop.
- Flash detection (adds immersion to scenes with flashing lights)
- CPU Multithreading (experimental)
- Detect average or predominant colors – results vary depending on screen content.
- Zone testing (launches a video to quickly test and configure your JeeLight zones)

- Circadian Lighting wich slowly synchronizes your color changing lights with local perceived color temperature of the sky throughout the day. This gives your environment a more natural feel, with cooler whites during the midday and warmer tints near twilight and dawn.
-

With this mode all colors will flow slowly from one Light to the next one. And paint your room with uncountable beautiful colors.
-
Runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux
-
Supports RGBW Bulb, Strip and Bedside Lamp
There will be more and more Features over time!
Please note:
- There is a Firmware issue in Yeelight bulbs which cause flickering due to high Framerate in Ambilight. I am in contact with Yeelight and there will be a Firmware update soon. Users of the beta firmware are able to activate the new feature ( Send Beta Commands) .
- The software is in a final beta state and may not yet be working as expected – please report any bugs encountered in the forum. Furthermore its only tested on Windows, but should work on other OS too.
- You need to enable “LAN-Control” in the Yeelight app for each Light.
- JeeLight is free . However, I would be happy to accept small donations. This will help me to pay my hardware and server costs, as well the huge amount of coffee which is needed to develop more crazy stuff. (there’s a lot of nightly hours :). Each donator will become a Beta-tester and receive every new function at first.
- You can use the installer for Windows and MacOS which already includes the Java runtime.
For Linux you have to download the Java Runtime and start JeeLight with “java -jar JeeLight.jar”
