|
|
|
possible to fully control every aspect of the lamp and to integrate the |
|
|
|
lamp in your Home Assistant setup. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Features |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The lamp **integrates easily with Home Assistant** using the ESPHome integration. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* **The lamp no longer phones home to the Mijia Cloud.** Using this firmware, |
|
|
|
you can rest assured that the network traffic is limited to your own network. |
|
|
|
This matches the ideas behind Home Assistant, of providing a local home |
|
|
|
automation platform, that puts privacy first. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* **No more need for the LAN control option** to integrate the lamp with |
|
|
|
Home Assistant. Especially important, because Xiaomi decided in all their |
|
|
|
wisdom to remove LAN control from the device, breaking existing integrations. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* **The night light supports multiple colors**. The original firmware only supports |
|
|
|
a single warm white night light color. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* **Smooth light color transitions**, unlike the current version of the Yeelight |
|
|
|
integration. The Homekit integration does provide good transitions, but on my |
|
|
|
system, the color temperature white light mode is missing in the Home Assistant GUI. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* **Since the components of the lamp are exposed as ESPHome components, you |
|
|
|
don't have to stick with the lamp's original behavior**. You can hook up the |
|
|
|
lamp in your home automation as you see fit. Use the slider to control the |
|
|
|
volume of your audio set? Long press the power button to put your house in |
|
|
|
night mode? Use the illumination behind the slider bar to represent the |
|
|
|
progress of your sour dough bread bulk fermentation? |
|
|
|
Go ahead, make it so! :-) |
