The cost of a single Yeelight Blue II color bulb currently runs around $20 per bulb, compared to a single Philips Hue bulb which is nearly $80 – not to mention that Yeelight bulbs don’t require any kind of “starter kit”, you just connect them to a socket and find them on the Yeelight mobile app.
While Xiaomi’s Yeelight series is a great, affordable Smart lighting system, particularly the Yeelight Blue II bulbs and strips, the Yeelight mobile app is a little lacking compared to its rivals – but there’s a way to enable developer mode on this Smart light system and control it from your PC, with a whole range of additional features, utilizing the Yeelight Toolbox.
