@ -12,6 +12,35 @@ This project provides custom components for ESPHome, which make it
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! :-)
