The lifx is so much easier to set up on WiFi and much more responsive so far from my testing between them. I nearly replaced All my Yeelight with hue and lifx
Figured i'd give them a crack given the low price point. If they turn out to be rubbish I'll look at switching over to a more established brand
Edit: With respect to responsiveness my intention is to automate as much as possible via IFTTT and Google Home Assistant so I don't envision that'll be much of a problem (provided it works)
Nothing wrong with the quality of the Yeelight RGB, I have been happy with them. Its just the integration into nest, razor etc that its missing
Mini white E27 is $29.74 at David Jones/Officeworks
That one is also $29 at Kogan and Dick Smith. Through the LIFX website with the additional 10% off, you can grab it for $26.99.
But Kogan/LIFX price not including shipping cost.

I have 4 LIFX and 2 XiaoMi Yeelight which replace my old 6 WeMo lights in early days
LIFX is still one of the best and easiest setup smart light so far for me (I haven't tried Philips Hue)
However, I do admit Yeelight is catchup up due to the cost (2 times cheaper at least) and it now also support Google Home
The only drawback for me on using Yeelight is they only comes with E27
where some of my rooms are still using B22 (while I can use a E27>B22 adapter, but doesn't look nice)
Hue is about the same to set up, just launch app, new light found click add.
Has anyone tried lifx lightstrips compared to the hue strips?

I bought 2 Yeelight RGB globes from GearBest at about $25 a pop to see how they perform
