I don’t have any ZigBee network. Planning to use wifi.

We currently don’t have an add-on that supports those bulbs, but it’s certainly possible to create one.

This is a really nice tutorial: [https://hacks.mozilla.org/2018/02/creating-an-add-on-for-the-project-things-gateway/](https://hacks.mozilla.org/2018/02/creating-an-add-on-for-the-project-things-gateway/)

- [https://github.com/mozilla-iot/addon-list](https://github.com/mozilla-iot/addon-list)

I’d recommend picking an existing add-on as a starting point and working from there. I’m actually wondering if those bulbs are the same as the Yeelight (also made by Xiaomi). The hardware looks nearly identical. If that’s the case, the existing Yeelight add-on _might_ work.

Actually, yes, the Yeelight add-on should work fine. Do the following:

- Add the bulb to the Yeelight app.
- Click on the bulb you just added.
- In the advanced features menu (looks like an up arrow in the bottom right corner), click on “LAN Control”.
- Toggle the switch on.

Now, install the Yeelight add-on and your bulb should be detected.
