Lei Feng Reuters earlier we have experienced Yeelight generation smart bulbs, 16 million color can be transformed to the design of a deep impression on us. As a part of the ecological chain millet, Yeelight recently updated the second generation products, different from the previous generation, the generation of the Yeelight connection is more commonly used in WiFi, near the public more than the first generation product life. Today we will look at the Yeelight white version of what is different.

Appearance and workmanship

Different from the first generation of kraft paper packaging, the second generation of Yeelight using a pure white box, the box is only Yeelight of the front Logo, very simple.

The back is a simple parameter and origin information.

After opening the box, only the instructions and the lamp body.

The instructions are as simple as the first generation. Compared to the first generation of Yeelight, the two generation of products not only supports the router millet, but also the general purpose of other routers, millet smart home App can be controlled.

Take off the plastic bag, we will see the two generation of Yeelight ontology.

The same with the previous generation, the two generation of Yeelight still uses a lotus shape, the top is white acrylic shade, the main part of the Aluminum Alloy changed to ordinary plastic material. For light bulbs, which are usually inconspicuous items, the meaning of aluminum alloy shell is not large.

Electrical parameters on the back. As for the E27 screw is needless to say, the most common export lamps.

As for the work, the plastic body and the gap between the acrylic shade is still some large, but not the first generation of products in the metal cutting edge of the hands of the problem.

Operation and use

Using WiFi to connect and support other routers Yeelight two generation than the previous generation of products easy to use, after the bulb is installed, open the mobile phone on the smart home App will automatically find the Yeelight and suggest a connection, as long as we can connect the WiFi lamp set. Of course, if you can not set up can also be used as ordinary light bulbs, the default brightness of 100% white.

Since the two generation of Yeelight no longer have color features, so the App interface is also a lot of concise. On the condition for the bright yellow background, after turning off the light into the night sky full of stars. Light up and down to adjust the brightness of the light, in theory, can be adjusted 100.

If you do not want to adjust, you can also click on the bottom of the "I" into the custom brightness mode, preset brightness 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, baby mode and reading mode of choice. After adjusting the brightness of the main interface, click on the top right corner of the star to the custom list.

25% brightness

75% brightness

100% brightness

The above three diagrams for different brightness mode, Yeelight light adjustment is more soft, brightness change over gentle, will not appear suddenly bright or dazzling situation.

User's experience

Yeelight two generation finally increased the timing of the lights and turn off the lights off the design, but the operation is slightly complicated. Click on the menu in the upper right corner of the post, need to click on the delay lights, but this is not enough, we want to set the time again click to set the delay to turn off the lights, then slide up and down through the adjustment time, to complete the preset delay lights, some really tedious.

Timing lights can only be set in the smart scene, first of all need to enter the smart scene interface, first set the time, then set the lights on the operation, the need to manually open the strategy to save, the same slightly cumbersome.

But the smart scene is not useless, we can according to their own needs to preset some combination of switching lights, such as the time to turn on the lights, turn off the lights. Can we connect the WiFi name automatically judge at the company or at home, so the camera smart strategies (for the dark woman, went down into the mobile phone automatically connect to their WiFi after the lights automatically turn on is still a little warm). Compared to the previous generation of products in the degree of intelligence has been greatly improved.

In addition to these, Yeelight can also set up a light group strategy, you can also share with the family of the device.

summary

Firstly, the WiFi connection is no longer subject to Bluetooth recognition, all routers can also be common, is no longer the millet router exclusive, applicable range is greatly increased. Secondly, the two generation of Yeelight increases the delay to turn off the lights and timing lights function, and can customize their own "smart strategy" can switch through customized strategies to control the light bulb, every time out of mobile phone App control, practicability is greatly increased.

But the two generation of Yeelight is still not the time switch lights set the pink of perfection, just a bit cumbersome, we also encountered a switching power supply in the process of testing, the bulb can not connect, to reconnect the WiFi reset lamp, because our hands is a project, not determined is an or common.

Despite the above problems, but the two generation of Yeelight compared to the previous generation of products has made great progress, although there is no color, but the function and compatibility have made great progress
