Yeelight’s array of smart lighting products will now automatically sync with Hisense VIDAA TVs. During the IFA tech conference in Berlin, Yeelight revealed that its app now integrates directly with Hisense TVs, allowing it to capture the audio and video on your screen while relaying matching effects across Yeelight’s devices.
That means you can quickly link up Yeelight’s light strip and its stackable cube-shaped lights to your TV (given that you have a Hisense, of course). That makes it even simpler to set up when compared to some other ambient lighting options from brands like Philips, which requires you to either purchase a Hue Play HDMI sync box to sync your lighting or the Hue Sync TV app, that’s only available on some Samsung TVs released in 2022 or later, and you have to pay $3 / month or a flat $130 fee just to get it.

Yeelight also announced $129.99 curtains of lights measuring 2 meters (~6.5 feet) tall and 1.5 meters (~5 feet) wide. It features 475 individual light beads that can display a range of custom or preset lighting patterns, as well as IP65 water resistance for outdoor or indoor use.
