Sengled Zigbee Smart Bulb, Works with SmartThings and Echo with Built-in Hub, Voice Control with Alexa and Google Home, Hub Required, BR30 Dimmable Flood Light Bulb, Soft White 2700K, 10 Pack

The instructions that come with the lights state for indoor use only. But, after some research - that seems to be the generic booklet that come with a wide variety of teh Sengled lights.This light have been great, I use them as intended only. They do not turn on during the day. At dusk, the motion sensors pick up movement and they can turn on. In hubitat, I can switch the lights off after they have been turned on. In hubitat, I can turn the lights on and they will stay on for their set time before turning off again.As far as I can tell, there is not a way to keep this lights turned on indefinitely. If you are looking for a swtiched setup with motion sensors I do not believe these will work for you.For simple motion sensor security lights that immediatly integrate with hubitat though, these are absolutely perfect.

Love these bulbs!I think we're up to 22 Sengled Element smartbulbs in our house now. As a mother of 4 boys, I LOVE them! No more lights left on all over the house to drive me mad! I was raised to never leave a light on when you leave a room, so it makes me crazy to have them left burning. Most of our bulbs are now set on timers to kick on and off at specific times, and because you can schedule a group of bulbs (ex: 6 kitchen recessed lights), or individual bulbs we rarely even touch a light switch anymore. The kids bedroom lights aren't left burning when they go off to school because I have them turn on when they get up and off 10 minutes after they leave. It's heaven!The dimming features are great too. I had a list of additional dimmer switches I wanted my husband to install but no need now! I have the kitchen overhead bulb above the sink stay on all night at 1% power as a night light, as well as an overhead bulb in the kid's hallway so they don't have to touch the light switches and leave them on there either. The bulbs in the living room lamps come on at their scheduled time at 5% power and give the perfect, not too bright, cozy atmosphere to the room where we relax in the evenings. They start dimming automatically an hour before they kick off at 11pm and we don't touch them! If it's a darker, rainy day I just ask Alexa to turn them on a little earlier. Our porch lights are even set on times so they can't get left on during the day anymore! I'm in heaven!I recently added 12 of the flood light smartbulbs to my collection for our finished basement. All of the recessed fixtures down there are on ONE switch at the bottom of the stairs. I'm sure that seemed like a great idea, but when you're in the family room, you really don't need the lights on in the utility room or the game room, or the kitchenette. We planned on hiring an electrician to install separate switches in each room but then I thought about smartbulbs! At $10+/- per bulb they're pricey, but compared to bringing in an electrician and having to put holes in our finished basement walls/ceiling it was CHEAP! Now I have them set up in groups for the different areas and certain ones are on timers. Life changing!I will definitely buy more! The multiple garage bulbs still get left on so that's my next hurdle. Love my Sengled bulbs!

First of all, these lights are bright and are generally a nice soft hue. They were easy to install and was able to get them updated to the latest firmware with Zigbee2MQTT. However, these lightbulbs are not repeaters / routers so make sure your mesh network is strong in the area that you are putting these.I'm not sure if it's just my bulbs but I am experiencing some flickering in the kitchen where these are installed. I'm not sure if it's just one bulb or multiple because it's very hard to catch them actually flickering - it's intermittent.

I rarely review things, but I wanted to get my opinion of these bulbs out there after reading a few reviews with inaccurate information.A previous reviewer stated that the Sengled hub and app were "garbage" - I have had zero issues with the Sengled hub or app. They stated that you could not recover a forgotten password and that customer service was subpar. My password is memorized in my phone, but I did forget it early on in use and was easily able to reset it. The app is easy to use - whether setting up the hub, adding new bulbs, renaming them, grouping them, or choosing a light temperature or color, it is all simple and straightforward. I have never had an issue trying to figure out how to do what I want.It was then said that you could not pair more than 4 bulbs with Alexa, but this is also incorrect. As of now I have 26 bulbs set up in the app and they all work with Alexa. I can control them individually or in groups in the Sengled app, AND I can also control them with my voice via Alexa with groups set up through the Alexa app. The 26 bulbs include a mixture of Sengled Element Classic, Color Plus, and BR30 recessed light bulbs. I can (and plan to) add up to 38 more bulbs, for a total of 64, all of which can be supported by the same hub.I have nothing but good things to say about Sengled products. Since I was first gifted a set of their JBL bluetooth speaker bulbs (Sengled Pulse) over 4 years ago, I have continuously added to my Sengled collection without any issues. The software is user-friendly and intuitive, and they continuously come out with new products that seem to integrate well with their past hardware. The only thing I would want to see improved upon is that they come out with a single app to control all Sengled products, as I can't control my Pulse bulbs and Element bulbs with the same app. This is not a big deal, more of just a user preference, and not even remotely annoying enough to take away a star from my rating. Don't let the negative reviews turn you off of the Sengled bulbs as a great, less expensive alternative to the Philips Hue bulbs/hub. I will 100% buy these bulbs again, and I plan to eventually have them in all of the fixtures in my house.

Needed smart lights in a stairway the needed to be lit only when in use - these save me from having to bark commands at my smart home setup every time. Also very bright. Motion sensor is a bit overly sensitive, but I haven’t figured out whether that can be turned down.

Took a bit of time to set up due to all the different instructions out there. Once you get the right one this works very well. I do recommend this product. Lights seem to be of good quality. I set it up using the Sengled hub which works very nice. I Like that it works with Alexa.

They only act like normal bulbs - They did not have motion sensor - I could not connect to my iPhone - they don't have dawn to dusk capability - they did not come with instructionsThey are a nice warm colour though.

Focos de fácil instalación al contar con el bridge Sengled. Se controlan muy bien con Alexa, lo mejor es que son a prueba de agua.

Routine in app needs some work but hardware is decent and works well
