Yeelight Striplight Connection Timed Out

Dear Yeelight Team,

Today I received 2 No’s of Yeelight Strip flight which I ordered from Gearbest. I’m from India.

I have tried to setup using all server’s US, China, Singapore & Germany. But Connection Timed out error persist.
While on hotspot once I got 100% but then Connection Timed out.

Please help to solve this issue.

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

1)Reset the lamp 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?

And at last please use another phone to setup a hotspots with 4G network and try connect the bulb to it, I want to make sure if the bulb is ok.

Thanks
Andy

Dear Andy,

I’m facing issue with connecting Router with Mi Cloud. I can see Yeelight associated in DHCP list of router.
I have checked both the devices i purchased online, facing similar issue in both the units.

I have tried even connecting with 4G Data Connection, same issue in that too. Connection Timed Out it shows.

Find below ping results after yeelight is connected to WiFi router.:-

I don’t want my devices purchased to go waste. Else I need refund.

Dear Andy,

I’m India, Mumbai City. I have tried to Connect from Singapore, Mainland China, US, Germany. For different server’s i have reset unit before connecting. You can see i’m getting response from ping. So it is also clear that ISP is not blocking.

Please help me on priority.

Please update on this.

Hi, do you have other wifi based devices?

Actually, I got no idea about the issue, it seems there’s something wrong when the strip try to connect to the cloud. I have mailed to xiaomi cloud engineer for help if there is a way to have a analysis.

Dear Andy,

This is not a solution. I need solution. I have imported this unit. It must work. Wifi based devices means?

My mobiles, laptops does work with the router.

Please provide solution on priority. Add me on Wechat with your engineer to solve my issue. I need to buy more units. I’m already stuck in 2 units. How can i handle 100 units.

Please provider your xiaomi account.

Same problem 5161288339

5164734300 is the account number . please help me on priority.

Hi, Could you have a try with below:

1、Get IP address with command “ping sg.ot.io.mi.com”, it is like “13.228.161.182” (Use sg.ot.io.mi.com for Singapore server, us.ot.io.mi.com for US server, de.ot.io.mi.com for Germany server and ot.io.mi.com for Mainland china server);
2、Setup a local DNS server with your PC (You can use tool of simple dns), add an “A record” with the IP address you get from Step 1 associate to “sg.ot.io.mi.com”;
3、Modify DNS server of your router to the dns server you have setup in Step 2;
4、Reset the bulb and try to connect again to see if it works.

Thanks,
Andy

Hi Andy,

I have the connection timeout issue with my MI desk lamp and the lixin@yeelink.net account works for me. However even after updating the lamp’s firmware my account still cannot register the lamp and the error is still connection timeout. I am currently using lixin@yeelink.net account but would like to be able to use my own account. Please help.

Thanks for you feedback.

Which server do you select in Yeelight application? And please try again and tell the time you tried with your account, we will check log to see what’s going on.

Hi Andy,

I am using the Singapore server and I tried it multiple times within the hour of my previous post

Hi,

Thanks,
Andy

Hi Andy,

G’day Andy,

My account number is much less than that number, and all my Yeelight devices were successfully added to my Xiaomi “Mijia” app. Thanks so much for working on this and finding a fix for the Yeelight devices.

Now, even though all theYeelight devices connected fine, my Xiaomi MI Control Hub gateway device has the same issue as before - it gets an IP but cannot connect fully with the app. So I’ve now got my lights working, but no door sensors, occupancy sensors, temp/humidity sensors nor buttons to easily control the Yeelights.

Any ideas on how to get the gateway connected? (I also tried logging in with the lixin account and it had the same issue - failed at the same place.)

This trick onlys apply for Mi LED Desk lamp, this is a bug we found in last release. As for device of Mi Control Hub, I have no idea about it, I saw your post before about the issue. And you have tried ways I known but that doesn’t works. This is not made by Yeelight, maybe you can contact them who made Mi Control Hub for help.

Hi Yeelight Support,
Can you please help me connecting to Yeelight LED Striplight using Wifi?
I have already tried using [lixin@yeelink.net] Login to connect and update the software.
Nothing works, I am getting Timed Out Error each time.
Please help My ID is 615666442.

Thanks,
