I'm in the market for a RGB light that i can control over via an app and google assistant.
It can be a normal globe (B22 or E27) for a lamp, or a desk lamp/device.
Ive come down to this: xiaomi-yeelight-bedside-lamp-rgb. Its about USD$41 (AUD$53.49) right now.
My question is -
Is there anything cheaper out there that i can use with google assist?
Thanks..
In regards the bedside lamp; the first gen was bluetooth but the 2nd gen has wifi. The one OP linked is only bluetooth.
you can use the "yeelight actions" connector in google home.
I can confirm these work with Google assistant. I have a pair as bedside lamps which I can use either with the Yeelight app or through the assistant on my phone or with my Google Home.
Able to easily control brightness and colour through either.
i noticed this says 220v. i assume you had no issues in Australia?
@ds4: nah no issues, thats the cheapest solution for you, I got a few working perfectly with GH/GA. Also i bought them on sale for about 13 a bulb, the price has gone up slightly now with fewer sales going on
If you're looking at the Yeelight bedside lamp make damn sure you get the new version 2, as the original (cheaper) version only does bluetooth not wifi.
Check if it actually has access to Google Home wireless? I always thought the desk lamp devices were Bluetooth or similar but would love to be wrong? I use one of the Xiaomi smart bulbs and I like it, but its quite slow, telling it to turn on has a few seconds delay, and sometimes its enough for me to just turn on the other light and get instant light instead.
Haven't used much others though.
