Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Not happy at all. Got these and they never would connect to my 2.4Ghz home network, so I tried to use their Bluetooth option and that never worked, either. You have to go through a finicky “turn on-off three times until flashing” setup, and then the instructions’ pictures don’t even exactly match the app settings so you have to guess what is the same settings it’s instructing you to use. But I don’t even know if that affected the setup since these absolutely, positively never once showed up in my local network and the app never successfully connected—much less controlled—a single bulb. I made sure to test all 4 in case it was one bum bulb, and got the same failure with all 4. This seems to be a trend that if a bulb is advertised as really pushing you to use an Alexa or Echo hub, then that means in reality you will never get them to work without one, even if the advertising claims otherwise. If it says “no hub, BUT IT WORKS PERFECTLY WITH AMAZON HOME/GOOGLE HOME,” be prepared to ONLY get them to work in those circumstances. The “no hub, compatible with 2.4Ghz wifi or Bluetooth” is a joke. Maybe they really do work with those hubs, but I don’t particular WANT an Alexa or an Echo right now so I expressly bought bulbs I was told didn’t need those. This was the result.
