Hello !

Maybe you should have problem like me with the Xiaomi’s bulb and in particular with the model *Mi Smart LED Bulb Essential (White and Color)*.

I would like to share my solution with reddit’s community.

So my model is: MJDPLOIYL

First, I follow the the installation and…. No Connections, Fail !

I tried again, again and again.

I had the apps the last version MI HOME, my network was in 2.4 Ghz and 802.11 b/g/n, I check my network, I have reset the bulb, the location was on, the BT was on but… connection failed

after I tried with an other smartphone… connection failed.

I delete Mi Home cache, I have uninstalled Mi Home, I have reinstalled Mi Home… no ~~fuck’in~~ connections.

​

After research I tried this process:

1/ I had Connected the bulb to a hotspot:

I use two smarphone. The first is the hotspot and the second will connect the bulb to the hotspot.

more details on the website appuals\[dot\]com (*How to Connect Xiaomi Yeelight Devices to Android Without a Home Router*)

and…whoua ! The bulb has been successfully connected.

2/ I had updated the bulb’s firmware, and I disconnected the hotspot.

3/ I go in my router

In security, I change the level to low as recommended on Gearbest’s blog (Fix Xiaomi Yeelight RGBW E27 bulb APP connection problem)

3/ I had reset the bulb (on/off 5 times)

4/ I follow the installation and…. WHOUAAAA the bulb is connected !!!!!!

​

Conclusion:

I don’t if the firmware update played an important role, but it helps to know if the problem comes from bulb or not.

​

et voilà, I hope this topic will be useful to many of you

PS: sorry for my english.
