New version including movie mode: it detects the screen most common color and applies it to the selected device.

During this mode you can still control the brightness and minimize the program to tray, etc.

Feel free to make suggestions and bug reports.

This looks really promising, I'm thinking about buying a yeelight strip for my desk.
Could you show some of the features in a video or something? I'm really interestend in the movie mode and how it holds up during general pc usage and gaming.
Also, are you planning on going open source with this any time soon?

Updated to version 1.1.3.
Movie mode now works also with the white bulb, adjusting its brightness.
Performance and response times have been improved too. I've reduced flickering issues.

Thank you!
I plan to add some screenshots and update the post when I have some time.
The movie mode works really well even in fullscreen games, the effect it creates in the room is pretty cool. During general usage I didn't notice any slowdowns. It could impact your framerate in games though, that depends on your pc hardware.
As for going open source, not for now. I might make a library though. Anyways, the Yeelight API is open.

I included the SlimDX dll so it could trigger your antivirus. The dll is open source and completely safe.

I updated the app to 1.1.6.
I might have found the cause for the bulb scanning issues.
Please test it and leave your feedback.
Thanks!

Just found this thread by googling, gave the last build a test and the program can't find mine either.
I have one of those fancy Xiaomi desk lamps and two yeelight color bulbs.

Yeelight bulbs are connected by WPA (tkip) and computer is connected directly to router by cable.
I can see the bulbs with IP scanners.

Actually, I just didn't know you specifically have to enable "LAN Control" for each bulb in the Yeelight app on your phone.
In the new redesigned app, under "My devices", press the bulb and in the bottom right corner, tap the little arrow pointing upwards to open the expanded settings menu.
At the bottom in the expanded settings menu you should see a little lightning bolt that says "LAN Control".
Press this option and turn it on.

Repeat this for all devices you want shown in Jordi's app.
Worked for me!

One more thing.

Initially, tweaking any of the parameters just made one of my bulbs turn itself off.
It was pretty weird because they both had the same firmware version, one worked and one didn't.
If you have this issue, update the firmware of the bulbs to the latest version from the Yeelight app.
Going from _52 to _56 had them both working flawlessly for me.

Yes, you need to enable developer mode (now called LAN mode) for each device. Glad it ended up working!

That is really weird. Never happened to me in any firmware version. Even weirder that only happened to one bulb.
Anyway, thanks for the tip and for your feedback!

Published 1.1.7. Now it should work flawlessly even if your computer has multiple virtual network adapters. Please, provide feedback, thanks!
