Why do I need to have Location on for these to work?
Lights work, app works well enough. The deal breaker for me is location (gps) must be on for these to connect. It must remain on as well because if you walk out of bluetooth range and then try to reconnect, it won't. It wouldn't be so bad with just having to be in BT range but the location on requirement is just plain stupid. My only guess is they are selling data location info to marketing companies as these lights have NOTHING to do with knowing my location. Long story short, all of these inexpensive rgb lights use bluetooth in lieu of the wifi connectivity of nicer rgb smart lights. It makes for a very frustrating user experience as you cannot control them from anywhere like you would be able to with hue bulbs. Will be returning and throwing that money at wifi enabled devices.
