Lighting for Dummies
It works very well with Google Home - I don't bother with the accompanying app because Google Home does everything you want with it i.e change colours, turn on and off and can operate it from my phone should I wish to turn the lights on and off while I am out. I have the bulb as my main light in my lounge and often switch between white and red light, especially at night when watching TV. I can also brighten or darken the light all by voice. I would highly recommend it to everyone.

Spyware! Disconnects! DO NOT BUY!
Product straight out of China. Instruction manual in broken English, I actually put off installing this for about a week because it looked like such a headache.You have to download an app that wants way too much information and permissons, such as location and access to messages - it's Spyware.Then you have to go into your router settings and set your wifi to 2.4GhzWhen its finally set up its quite cool. I linked it to my Alexa Dot and was able to voice-command the lighting. Although the closest I could get to a soft white was more like being on the inside of a fridge.Then after a week it disconnected, flashed obnoxiously, and failed to reconnect after a few tries. So I unscrewed it, screwed in my old bulb and went back to the trusty lightswitch.Seriously, I don't know how this bulb has good reviews. If I had read a review that explained the setup and spyware, I would not have purchased - I advise you not to either.

Good bulb, works well with Alexa.
I bought a couple of these bulbs for myself and my boyfriend for Christmas. They are easy to setup with their app and link to my Alexa Dot. You can either control them from the app on your phone or through Alexa. I like that you have a variety of settings and colours to use. The only trouble we had, and I think this is more an Alexa issue, is that it sometimes adds one bulb in devices several times. Other than that, they are great and work well.

Gives you full control of your lighting!
I bought these when they were on offer and to be honest I wished I ordered more, they are great. I use them in my room and also for a lamp, it's nice to be able to turn off the light while in bed or even change the colour. Obviously as you can tell I'm slightly lazy, there are many options including brightness, colour control, timers and other complications including sensors etc however, I do not have the latter to test. The app is good, shame they haven't made a widget for Android phones as this would be ideal to have on the main screen without opening the app.

Huge disappointment
I am having lots of issues with this light bulb. I really want it to work so am being overly persistent, with any thing else I would have returned this straight away but the concept is seriously cool. The bulb does work for me downstairs in the same room as my router however as soon as I go upstairs to my bedroom it won't work, it is unresponsive. Now I just did an internet speed check on my mac and got 54Mbps and on my phone 30Mbps, my xbox one works without any buffering and my alexa echo dot works fine too. I don't understand why the light bulb won't work when everything else does. Yes I do have virgin wifi with the superhub 3.0 and have tried splitting the wifi up but this doesn't make the slightest of difference, just doesn't make any logical sense to me why the bulb won't work. We have fibreoptic broadband and downstairs we can see the wifi speed usually around 180Mbps but at times 230Mbps so wifi speed is clearly not an issue here except that is what it seems to not be able to connect to. When it worked downstairs the colours were cool and it is pretty awesome I just want to be able to get in bed and say "Alexa turn off light" and I'm not sure with this bulb I'll ever get that working.

Great For Home Automation.
Great For Home AutomationI Installed 2 x Lights in different rooms and connected them to Google Home, It was a pain in the back side trying to figure out how to use the "Smart Home" App to setup the light then Connecting that app to Google home, Once All connected Its Amazing you can change the light Brightness, Colour and turn it on or off, Saving you from getting out of bed! :8-) I and my daughter use them and love them.I recommend this for your home automation setup.You will need a Home WIFI network setup before hand! (Comes with 99% of all modern Routers/Home hubs, BT, Virgin, Ect..)

Nice addition if at the right price.
I bought this to add to my smart home i am building with alexa.Easy to install on both alexa and my android phone.Bought at the discounted price of £14.99, to add to my smart plug.I wouldnt want to pay full price as i think £50 for a light bulb is excessive smart or not.
