Thread moved to add-on requests
Looking for the same thing here.
I've ordered 2.
Would be awesome if there would be a plugin to use them with cinema automation (movie plays = lights fade out; movie stops=lights fade on)

Thank you.
How do you want to use them as ambilight? I thought ambilight is behind the tv on every side and the hole lenght.
Using a bulb wouldn't be on the spot.
Please correct me if i am wrong.
I have a windows 10 pc running kodi.
I have heard of python but never did anything with it.
Do i need special tools to run it and do you know how to implement that in kodi?
Python is built in Kodi, all addons are in python. So that shouldn't be a problem.
Yes, it is on every side of TV but just by puting a light behind the tv cabinet i.e. you could achieve similar effect, or using 3 bulbs behind TV etc. But yeelight has more products than just a bulb there is yeelight strip which could be used for exactly this pupose.
Ordered one couple of days ago... so I'll be playing with it once it arrives
Sent from my N7100
i follow.... if you put on an addon/program/service or what you want i'll buy a couple ;-)

They're pretty cheap and Xiaomi claims they should last 11 years... if they last 5 years for 16$ a piece it is a bargain!
According to docs it uses something for communication that really resembles JSON and it that is the case, it shouldn't be a problem to implement an addon. If not, then there's the python library which could be used. We'll see in a couple of weeks..
so you bought the ones with white light. they are about 18€ on amazon.
Looking great Dalibor, looking forward to trying
So the bulb arrived, the real work can begin!
