Yeelight bulbs	Works	Use own Yeelight plugin, not Hue plugin; enable LAN mode in app Saved copy They can, but not with the Hue Plugin, but with the own Yeelight plugin. You need to first activate network mode through their app, though. Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22.	Reddit comment · 2020-04

Yeelight color bulb	Works	Easily worked with HomeKit via Homebridge Saved copy My son got me one Yeelight color bulb. The rest of my color bulbs are Hue. I made the yeelight work with HomeKit easily enough using Homebridge. Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22.	Reddit comment · 2019-08

Yeelight Smart Bulb W3	Works	Yeelighter plugin controls the lights Saved copy I use yeelighter plugin for the lights in HB Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22.	Reddit comment · 2022-10
Yeelight bulbs	Partly works	Work ok but max brightness lower than Mi Home app Saved copy You should be able to find a plug-in for them, there are a few for the different Xiaomi/Aqara/Yeelight. I have Yeelights and they work ‘ok’, apparently there’s a difference in how they control brightness though so the Home app’s top brightness isn’t as bright as what you get from the mihome app. Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22.

Yeelight color bulbs	Partly works	Work but slow Homebridge with accessories updating randomly Saved copy … accessories are “updating” randomly for prolonged times. I also started disliking the idea of using a remote server in Singapore to have access to my bulbs. Zigbee will allow me local, offline control of my devices. Guess I’ll just got for the Gledopto now. Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22.	Reddit comment · 2019-08

In ReReHome

Whatever this plugin publishes reaches Apple Home as a normal HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.

Bridges get their own settings page listing the accessories behind them.
