Smart Light Bulbs, A19 Zigbee, Works with Philips Hue* and Alexa (Bridge Required), White and Color, RGB, Dimmable Color Changing Light Bulb, E26 LED Bulb 60 Watt, 806lm, 2-Pack

These are the perfect bulbs for direct to Home Assistant integration. I started off with Matter over Wifi bulbs that also paired directly to Home Assistant but none of the models I tried could remember power off or previous state so you got woken up with a flash of light anytime the power flickered at night. These worked perfectly out of the box, the previous state actually works so no more flicker, and they power up down much faster than every wifi model I tried. Worked perfect with ZHA and no quirks needed. Additionally, the colors are spectacular. CRI is true and the entire spectrum is more vibrant. Direct comparison to Hue. Spend the extra couple bucks over cheaper wifi bulbs and get these for Home Assistant!!

I like these because they are 1/2 the price of the Hue bulbs and work the same from my untrained eye. I do not care if the color is a little off because I can't tell anyway. I am just setting them to what looks nice to me. The range is pretty amazing and the closest thing out there to actual Hue bulbs, from what I can tell. I am NOT an Internet of Things or Smart Home fan. I think it's creepy and a lot of those products were not made with privacy in mind. However, nice mood lighting is right up my alley so these are pretty cool. Unless you connect them to Ale*a or another surveillance system masquerading as a consumer product your privacy should remain as-is. I inherited a Hue Bridge from my boyfriend's son, and just basically downloaded the Hue app and bought some lights. That's how easy the basic level of use for this tech is. Side note: wall dimmers will present an issue. I was able to solve a problem paring with the kitchen lights in the picture by turning off the wall dimmer switch they were on and turning on a non-dimmer switch that also controls those lights and using that power source for the paring process. So be aware that if your only wall switch for controlling a light or set of lights is also a dimmer you might have issues? Not sure. Honestly, I was pretty proud of my 51-year-old self for figuring that out all on my own - look mom I'm a big girl now! :) I would recommend these. I have 6 total - 4 new and 2 that are bout 3 months old - and they are all working great!

I purchased a set of 4 to start replacing WiFi color bulbs from a different brand, as my goal is 100% local connectivity via Home Assistant. They are bright, have good color accuracy, respond instantly to state/color change, and setup/Zigbee pairing was super simple. They also support direct binding via switches and remotes. I installed 2 on the exterior of my garage. Initially the connection seemed spotty. I added a smart plug nearby to act as a router, and they now seem to have a stable connection.

I rarely write reviews but I am so impressed by these bulbs that I just had to. We have several very old Phillips Hue bulbs and the first version of the Hue Bridge, and I was expecting to have a frustrating time getting these bulbs to work, if at all. We have been wanting to replace most of the bulbs in our house with Phillips Hue bulbs but they aren’t cheap! So when I saw these, I figured for the price (about half the price of 2 Phillips Hue bulbs) I might as well give them a shot, and if they didn’t work I could always return them. Well, let me tell you, these bulbs have blown us away so much that I have purchased them 5 times now! Remember, you do need a Bridge for these bulbs. Anyway, I screwed then into the bulb sockets and opened the Hue app and they wouldn’t recognize the bulbs. I thought I was in for a big headache trying to get them to work.. Then I saw that if the app doesn’t recognize the bulbs, you enter the serial number on the bulbs, so I unscrewed the bulbs and looked at the number printed on the bulbs (it’s the 6 digit number after the letter), entered that, and the app instantly recognized the bulbs. Whew! I didn’t even have to push the Bridge button again. The bulbs work with almost all of the apps that I use for Hue - OnSwitch, Hue Thunder, Hue Fireworks, etc. and like others, I’m finding some of the color trueness and intensity (especially the blues and greens!) to be WAYYY superior to that of the Hue bulbs! Like, no contest! The Philips Hue bulbs’ greens and blues are barely green or blue, they are more like a tint of lime and a tint of something that is barely blue. We had these bulbs all a shade of green on Saint Patrick’s Day and let me tell you, they were a TRUE vivid deep green. We were so impressed! Needless to say, I’m very impressed with these bulbs and will be purchasing more soon towards our goal of replacing most of the bulbs in our home. Don’t hesitate to buy these. Really! They’re great : D

Funcionan muy bien con alexa puedes ajustar el brillo

Ok me esplico yo los utilizo junto con mis focos de philips hue con dimmers en los cuartos y pasillos, tienen sus puntos buenos y malos y llevo poco uso cabe mencionar sin embargo me dejan buena impresión los tengo conectados a el philips hue, iluminación muy buena incluso "igual" o mejor que los originales eso que ni que, 2- Muy fácil conectar los a la app de philips, 3- muy buen costo a comparación de focos philips, 4- solo los recomiendo en pasillos y agitación donde no sea dormitorio ¿porque? Tengo entendido que ante un bajón de luz esta marca no se configura como los philips hue y se encienden todos al recuperar la energía (cabe mencionar que no e probado esto a un), y un detalle a la mejor importante para algunos al tener los dimmers si se nota un retraso al encender y apagar que por eso coloco 4 estrellas que de poder pondria 4.5 ya que es algo muy sutil, no tengo tiempo exacto pero podría ser un segundo o dos, SIN EMBARGO al decir le al asistente en mi caso con alexa prenden casi de inmediato y apagan igual, y pues creo es todo lo que e notado espero ayude a alguien que este pensando en estos focos para usar con philips hue y con los dimmers de philips, yo tenía muchas dudas antes de comprar los, cualquier actualización se las dejaré a futuro.
