* This is not the official Yeelight app. * Get the best out of your Yeelight smart bulb. Enjoy instant control and a wider variety of timers over a user-friendly environment. LightYeeAr takes advantage of the developer mode of Yeelight smart bulbs. This means that every command from your phone to your bulb is transferred via your local Wi-Fi router. By having that feature you don't need an internet connection to control your bulb and every change you make is (literally!) lighting fast. Notice : You need to register your smart bulb, with the official app, before you can use it with this app.
