GHome Smart Light Bulbs, E26 A19 LED Smart Home Lighting Bulb Works with Alexa & Google Home, 2700K Warm White, 800 LM 8W Dimmable, App Remote Control, 2.4GHz WiFi, No Hub Required, 4 Pack

Ease of setup. Took maybe all of 15 minutes to set all of them up. No issues at all, and extremely pleased. I just ordered these again. My go to from here on out.

I worried I would have trouble making these connect to internet and work with Alexa or app. I had bought smart outlets about a year ago I couldn't get to work. Well this time I downloaded the right app and not only do I have my lights set up to turn on and off when I want but I used the plug in for a lighthouse I had outside put a nice little Edison bulb in it and it now works. Finally got the little plug in to work. They are set up to go on and shut off when I set up daily. I'm still struggling with Alexa to do that on a daily basis with the 1 light connected to "her". Daily I use my phone to switch on & off but can do it from wherever. I will get it to do automatically when I take the time. Right now I am happy with my smart bulbs. Very bright, can dim on the app, last longer and says they are cheaper to use. Definitely recommend.

Cons: Figuring out how to group together bulbs in the app so Alexa can control a group of bulbs as well as control them individually was a little confusing, but persisting with a little trial and error does the trick. Also, when you tell Alexa to dim the bulbs to 50%, it’s not half as bright, as you would expect - it’s brighter than half as bright. But brightness is subjective and you just need to play around with it to understand what dimming settings are right for you in different situations.Pros: Overall, I’m pretty impressed! Once you connect bulbs to the Alexa app, you can do so many things. “Turn on/off lamp 1”, “turn on/off living room lights”, and you can set up schedules to adjust lights how you want them based on day/time, and coolest of all is being able to create Routines in the app that control the lights with incredible flexibility, such as having lights turn on at sunset. Google “Alexa Routines to control lights” to see a bunch of ideas. Lastly, you can have Alexa control lights with voice or simple taps in the app from anywhere, as long as you have an internet/data connection. Very cool and I’m buying more! Side Note: Although you don’t need an Amazon Echo or Echo Dot to use Alexa voice commands, features, routines, etc., it’s far more convenient if you do have Echo/Dot device(s).FYI - I’m updating the lighting in my home and I now see that If I buy LED light fixtures that aren’t “smart fixtures”, then I can’t use these bulbs and I can’t control them with Alexa. Buying these bulbs for a few lamps and fixtures has really shown me how cool “smart” lighting can be, and I’m just getting started. I’m reasonably certain as I use and learn “smart” lighting more, I’ll figure out even cooler things that can be done.And it goes without saying, that because LED lights use far less power, last soooo much longer, offer warmth lighting similar to incandescent bulbs, and offer awesome other features (depending on which bulbs / fixtures you buy), it’s silly to not move toward replacing incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs. In my opinion, if you’re making the move to LED, use smart bulbs and fixtures because that change, along with a little bit of tech skills, allows you to easily make lighting an attractive feature of your home rather than something that is just on or off.

The disconnect quite a bit which is a hassle but set up is easy enough.

The appearance of the light at first wasn’t good. but then I installed them and connected them to my Alexa. you could adjust the brightness of light. It made a good appearance to my home and friends in the end. No noise at all.
