Yeelight YLDD01YL Light Strip

-- ENG --
- Yeelight Smart Light Strip (RGB version) comes in a well formed and elegant packaging (as you can see in the pictures).
- Once opened, every component is carefully protected. You can see the strip is made of quality materials.
- Power supply has the Chinese socket, but an adapter is provided for EU/IT plug.
- Adhesive tape on the back of the strip allows to tape the Yeelight on almost every dry and hard surface you may want. Very strong fitting which will not detach itself over time.
- Quite long cables allow to put the strip in high surfaces but still reach Yeelight ON/OFF/Color Change commands without efforts.
- Open API Support allows to create powerful apps or scripts even with third party applications if you do not want to use official apps (which also works very well).
- Very bright light when used at full brightness, dimming effect works well.
- Price for me is a done deal, because in our electronic stores here in Italy, you can find products at cheap quality, no WiFi support and way overpriced.

- La Yeelight Smart Strip (in versione RGB) arriva in una confezione ben costruita ed elegante (come si può vedere dalle immagini).
- Una volta aperta, ogni componente è ben protetto. Si può vedere che la strip è costruita con materiali di qualità.
- L'alimentatore ha la spina cinese, ma viene fornito un adattatore per la spina italiana.
- Una striscia adesiva sul retro della strip consente di incollare la Yeelight su pressoché qualsiasi superficie dura e asciutta. Il fissaggio è forte e non si staccherà nel tempo.
- Cavi abbastanza lunghi consentono di installare la strip in luoghi alti e allo stesso tempo consentono di raggiungere il tasto di comando ON/OFF/Cambio colore senza sforzi.
- Il supporto alle Open API consente di creare potenti app o script anche con applicazioni di terze parti se non si vogliono utilizzare quelle ufficiali (che ugualmente funzionano molto bene).
- Molta luce quando utilizzata al massimo della luminosità, il dimmeraggio della luce funziona molto bene.
- Il prezzo per me è molto buono, perché nei nostri negozi qui in Italia, si possono trovare prodotti di qualità molto inferiore, senza supporto WiFi e molto più costosi.

As of now, I am not able to find any single problem with the device.
From a technical point of view, we could say it is a bit annoying the fact Yeelight must exchange information with a remote cloud server in order to work rather than receive commands directly via the TCP/IP interface, but I understand that would require more efforts in product development. That said, its working method is perfectly fine for me.

Per ora, non riesco a trovare un singolo problema con il dispositivo.
Da un punto di vista tecnico, potremmo dire che è un po' fastidioso il fatto che la Yeelight debba scambiare informazioni con un server cloud remoto per poter funzionare anziché ricevere i comandi direttamente tramite l'interfaccia TCP/IP, ma capisco che ciò richiederebbe maggiori difficoltà nella costruzione dell'articolo. Ciò detto, per me il suo funzionamento è più che efficace.

I was looking for a LED strip solution that could be controlled with my WiFi or even my home automation system.

First things first, the price. The price alone is actually worth the buy. At only $29.99 USD at the time of writing this they beat out the Hue line by $30 USD.

After I received the package in the mail I was surprised to see a well laid out little box that contained my lights. At first glance they look like normal IP65 LED lights until you pull them out to find an inline control unit.

The brightness of these is amazing as is the colors and contrast.

The control unit allows you to power on/off the lights as well as change the colors. It comes with about a 2meter length of power line then 2 meters of LED. Another great feature is you can cut these to length!

As I mentioned before I wanted something that I could use with my home automation system. Once you have downloaded the app for these lights and paired them with your WiFi, you can either use the app to control them like change brightness, color temp, or even take a picture and use the color from that. These can also be controlled either with Google Home or Echo with Alexa. I have a phrase for my Google Home. I say, “Ok Google, Goodnight” and the lights turn off. To make things even better the are supported by the IFTTT (if this, then, that) protocol.

I installed my light behind my headboard on my bed for ambient light for my wife to read.

Install was a breeze with the included sticky back on the LED strip. Laid them out then stuck them to my headboard.

The only bad thing I do not like about them, is you are not able to expand them. With all that power in a little box would make life a breeze.

Would I buy these again? I sure will!

I got this strip with two yeelight bulbs for my living room to use as ambient lighting. This strip works perfectly. The packaging is very similar to the bulb clean, white, and pristine. Setup was easy. I already had an account made and I could just add the lights. One amazing feature, which should be standard on all smart lights, is a multi use button. Holding the button allows you to change through colors and tapping it shuts the LEDs off. If you don't have your phone nearby you can just tap the button. Such a little simple feature but it goes a long way. Its super bright too, bright enough for me any way and why I'm using it for. No complaints here 10/10.

Yelight Smart Light Strip (версия RGB) поставляется в хорошо сформированной и элегантной упаковке. После открытия каждый компонент тщательно защищен. Видно. что лента изготовлена ​​из качественных материалов. Адаптер питания имеет китайскую вилку, магазин положил переходник под евро вилку. Обратная сторона ленты клейкая, что позволяет наклеить ленту практически на любую сухую и твердую поверхность. Отдельно сейчас продается лента 1 м, которую можно добавить к этой. Длина самой ленты 2 метра. На адаптере питания и блоке управления длинные шнуры. Но ленту я бы рассматривал как для декоративной подсветки чего то там, но не как для освещения, т.к. лента не светит белым светом, он какой то смешанный. Они отдельно выпустили еще одну ленту MILK WHITE, вот в ней уже наверное хороший белый.
Лента без проблем по WI-FI подключается к системе умного дома через MiHome, с подключением проблем не возникло.
