I bought these bulbs for the front of my house to be used for general lighting and to highlight the house with holiday colors (purple and orange for Halloween!). The interior of my house uses Phillips Hue so I had something to compare to. Installation using the Go Smart app was ridiculously simple. Far easier than the Hue app. Even better there was no hub required! Setting up scenes using the sample scenes was simple. Alexa integration took two minutes and here's the best part ... the bulbs cost ONE SIXTH the price of the Phillips Hue color bulbs !! Oh, and their wattage equivalent is 75 watts versus 60 watt, so creating a bright emergency setting really works! I would highly recommend these bulbs

Update: Got a replacement but the chirping noises were even worse than the first box I received. Unfortunately, couldn’t return them because I received them when I was away and the return window already closed. Most useless item I ever bought off of Amazon.The Question:Are the light buzzing sounds normal? When I turn off the bulb from my phone or Alexa voice control, there is a constant noise, almost like a very light, somewhat muffled criquet noise... every single bulbs are the same, are mines broken?Now the Pros/Cons:My husband loves it, it is very practical and the brightness is adjustable, the bulb has different shades of colors. One of our favorite feature was the light on/off schedule. As a light sensitive person, this feature is amazing because I wake up shortly after the bulb turns on, which is way better than any sound alarm. It is a great value if you are looking for the above features.I will stay neutral when it comes to the installation because we had quite difficulties, nothing we couldn’t solve tho. But I can see where it can be stressful and frustrating for someone who isn’t tech heavy.However, the big Cons here:1. The inability to adjust to music like any other smart bulb, the color pattern changes by using the microphone when the app is on. And the switch of color is so fast, it gives a low night club vibe. (Not the enjoyable type)2. there is a light constant buzzing sound when we turn off the bulb from the phone app. At first the noise didn’t bother much, but I started noticing a change in my sleeping pattern. And I started waking up restless, exhausted and sometimes with heavy migraines that just stopped when we completely disconnected the bulb from the bedroom. The chirping noises stop when we completely disconnect the bulbs (which cancels the whole purpose of the automatic on/off schedule feature, or just turning off the lights via phone or Alexa.The animals (especially the dogs) also looked slightly bothered by it so I am quite sceptic and hope it did not harm their ears and/or affect hearing.In overall, it’s cool at first and a great value but I don’t recommend it for anyone suffering from Chronic migraines (as Dr visits+medications will override the costs) especially if you are sensible to noise. It doesn’t bother my husband much so I’d say that most people aren’t bothered. However, we definitely went to buy the more expensive Phillips hue light bulb to avoid the chirping noises. I wanted to love these bulbs soooo bad but anything that triggers my migraines gets a hard pass..

For the price, these lights are great! They work very well. It took me a minute to connect because they only support 2.4ghz wifi, which made it a little bit of pain. Most routers run on 5ghz, so if your router isn't dual band (with 5ghz and 2.4ghz) they won't work. Easy to do if you have a basic understanding of your router though. I am very happy with these lights and plan to purchase more for my home. They work perfectly with Alexa. It only gets a little hairy when you create groups for your lights. Alexa won't change the color of multiple lights simultaneously but she will turn multiple lights on and off. It's easy enough to use the app for the lights, "Go Smart", to change the scene/color though.Edit: I was wrong about groups! If you add the set of lights into an Alexa group, directly in Alexa, she will change the color. I was calling the lights by name, even though they were the same("Living Room light" and " Living Room Light")and she was changing just one. If I just say, "Alexa change the lights to white." in the room thats in the group she changes it no problem! Hope that makes sense.Overall I'm very pleased. I guess the real test will be to see if they last! Hope they do!

Installed 3 bulbs in a hard to reach fixture only for 2 of the 3 to blink on and off slowly (not pairing mode). I tried the fixes proposed by the company for support. No change. I did not test the 4th bulb. Instead I bought from a known good brand and will return these bulbs.

I was an early adopter of multi-colored smart bulbs, outfitting my bedroom with Philips Hue bulbs over five years ago. When Philips decided out of nowhere a few months ago to drop software support (despite the bulbs probably being capable of lasting decades more) I was unwilling to give in to their dastardly strategy and buy their expensive bulbs again and instead decided to look for cheaper alternatives. These are brighter than my Hue bulbs, work even more reliably with Alexa, and are compatible with multiple "smart device" apps which will hopefully insulate them from capricious "software incompatibility" decisions in years to come.

Excellent choice for DIY Home Automation. These bulbs can be easily integrated in Home Automation projects (e.g. Homeassistant/Hassio). They can be uploaded with Tasmota OS using tuyaconvert (no soldering needed) and can be controlled on local WiFi network (no need of cloud subscription). Just search "digiblurDIY tuya convert tasmota"-----------9/27/2020Bought four more but unable to flash tasmota using Tuyacovert. Useless bulbs for me as I dont want give access to my home wifi to SmartLile App/Novastella! I Have never understood reasons for blocking flasihng by manufacturers. The warranty is voided (and therefor no support either) but they get paid same amount and save expense of support and warranty!
