Welcome to the AiLight wiki! You can find various topics in the sidebar on the right.

AiLight is a custom firmware for the hackable, inexpensive Ai-Thinker RGBW WiFi light bulbs that has an ESP8266 at its core. Ai-Thinker RGBW WiFi light bulbs are being made by a Chinese company called Ai-Thinker and are available across many e-commerce sites like Amazon, eBay, AliExpress, etc.

So, why a custom firmware? * You can add functionality the original manufacturer hasn’t thought of (yet) * You can integrate with other devices or systems like for example Home Assistant * You can ensure it is private (only you know when the lights are on) * It is a great project to learn something new…​ and it is super fun!

Want to use the AiLight firmware as well? Start with the "Getting Started" section on the right…​
