Yeelight

It looks cool as a nightstand clock but the iphone app is buggy and the level of customizability just isn't where it should be.

The app works pretty well with a few exceptions. This review only pertains only to my experience controlling the permanent outdoor lights. I would like to be able to access the lights from further away. It’s frustrating if I have to stand 10 feet away from the controllers to make any changes. A wifi bridge would be helpful. I’d like to be able to change a graffiti after it is saved. As it is now, if you save one and then later realize one light is in the wrong place, you have to completely start over. I’d like to be able to design & save graffiti when not connected to the lights. The dot spacing when designing graffiti needs to be larger and further apart because it’s really hard to tap the correct light when making patterns. I would like a button for pure white when designing graffiti. The pure white mode toggle is great except for when I don’t want all the lights the same color. Lastly, a timer or schedule for the lights to turn on and off would be great.

The whole is app is pretty sus in terms of privacy. It requires access to a whole host of information that has nothing to do with lights including access to location. They even tell you this as soon as you open the app and your only option to either accept or exit the app. This is shameful and has put me off the whole thing. The cubes are super expensive but I’ve decided to sell all the 18 that I bought. My privacy is more valuable.
