ERIAColor Smart A19 ZigBee Bulb, Works with AduroSmart, Hue*, SmartThings, Amazon Echo (4th Gen), Alexa, Google Assistant

These bulbs are well built and at a great price. They pair easily with the Philips Hue system but they don't seem to interpret "yellow" like the Philips bulbs do. For example, using Philips A19 bulbs and the Hue app, if I choose the "Relax" scene in the Philips Hue app the ERIA A19 is definitely more "pink" than "yellow." Support confirmed this as a problem with the ERIA bulbs. Hopefully they figure out a solution.So I would say... if you build a smart lighting system using only the ERIA bulbs then you'll be happy and save money. If you are looking to use them in an existing system, like a Philips Hue, then they will not exactly match the Philips branded bulbs.

These bulbs are about 1/2 the price as Hue but they are also about 1/2 as smart. I have 24 Hue and 24 Of These Eria's. The Eria's have trouble connecting to the Hue bridge sometimes, so not all lights will turn on or change color on the first tap. You need to hit the light selection on the app a few times get all the lights to change to desired setting. I also noticed that while on a bright or white setting the lights are very noisy. I can hear a very loud electric / incandescent light sound buzzing from the bulbs. You can not use a dimmer switch with these and they must be dimmed from the app. I will be slowing changing out all of the Eria bulbs I purchased to the far superior HUE bulbs as soon as I can.

If you are considering these bulbs as an alternative to Philips Hue, then they're a great option.They pair well with the hub and handle being controlled fairly well. The process of pairing them with an off-brand hub is a bit odd, but it just takes a quick factory reset. The manual that comes with the bulbs explains how to do that, if you take the time to read it.Comparing them to the market leader, they turn on and off just as smoothly as the Hue bulbs, and their colors are very vibrant.I've noticed some occasional software glitches when they're being controlled by the computer app Huetro, especially when you're switching between the more exotic colors. There are completely different, less frequent bugs when you use the Hue App, so my guess is that it's something odd in the software.But these little glitches haven't messed with my usability at all. The main reason I got them was to have a more natural range of color temperatures in my house, and they're absolutely great for that. I highly recommend them as an alternative to more expensive options.

I've had this bulb for a couple months now and I like it. It's given me no problems and set up was easy if you already have other smart bulbs or are an alexa user. If you have never set up a smart device or haven't a ton of experience using smart home apps, you may want some help. Keep in mind you need a HUE or ERIA hub for it to work.The colors are pretty accurate. I don't own the color Hue bulbs as they are just too expensive at this point so I can't compare them. The ERIA bulb is considerably less money so I decided to give it a shot. Using it in soft white, it's not as bright as a standard non-color Hue bulb, of which I have many. It should be enough for most applications unless you like a really bright room. I use it in a man cave/den type of room. It definitely sets the mood for movies or gaming. I also own a Harmony hub to voice control the TV & audio components. I have some scenes/routines set up, so I simply say "alexa, let's game" or "alexa, movie time" and my AV system comes alive, proper components turn on, switches to correct inputs and now.....the lighting changes to a pre-set color & intensity that I selected for movies or games. People are always impressed. I'll be getting a few more bulbs.

These lights are an absolute lightmare (get it, light/nightmare?!) when pared with the Philips Hue app. I have 2 ERIA color lights setup in a 'room', and have them using 'scenes'. Here's what I've experienced:* The Good:I was easily able to add them to Hue; instructions were simple, and it worked as expected. I added these lights to a room, and added scenes within Hue with ease. From here it all went downhill.* The Bad:Colors: I do not get millions of colors, I actually get what seems like only a couple dozen colors (you do the math, but I think this is a big difference). When trying to slowly move from one color to the next through the app, the color doesn't slowly change on a gradient, but eventually 'jumps' to the next. Additionally there is the same jump when I attempt to adjust to a whiter version of the color. Totally unacceptable.Changing Scenes: over half the time when I change scenes only one of the bulbs will actually change colors, the other will remain as it was before. Totally frustrating.Turning On: when turning the room on, most of the time only one of the two lights come on. Then if (my next action) I change scenes sometimes both lights will start to work, but one of them just stays white often. Totally a deal killer.Obviously I do not recommend these - they are a little cheaper than the Hue lights, but with negative-one-million stars for performance you are throwing money away.
