1. 2/5Ugh

   i’ve used the bulbs from here with this app for a couple years now. Took a minute to actually figure everything out but then i only occasionally had disconnection problems and it was almost always something on my end. all the sudden a couple days ago, i came home from my boyfriends and the light was on and disconnected! It was searching for internet so i got on the app to just reconnect it real quick. I assumed that the storm had just disconnected it somehow. I tried for an hour and couldn’t get it. I thought to try removing the bulb from the app and restarting the entire thing bc that usually solved everything, but now i can’t add it back. it has to search several times for wifi, and then once i select my home wifi and start trying to connect, it says there was an issue and makes me restart everything. The light flashes as it does when factory resetting, but all by itself, after this failure. if i turn my phone wifi on to the LED bulb network then suddenly it’s reconnected within the app and i can control it that way, but as soon as i set my phone back to my home network it starts flashing again. Really disappointed. Unless i want to find my phone every time i need the light, i have to use the switch like it’s just another normal light. Im quite upset over it.

2. 1/5Unsecured connections, unnecessary data request

   Package came with 2 bulbs, first one would not make available the Wi-Fi network the instructions said to connect to. Couldn’t get to the faq, the link for said faq I had to open on my computer to get it to load- the link for said faq showed “not secure” in the search bar when I entered it. I gave up on the first bulb and tried the Second bulb, which upon screwing in to my desk lamp revealed the network instructed to connect to, which I did, it then asked me to connect to my home Wi-fi router while in the app. Again, this time in my Wi-Fi settings my phone said the provided connection was an “unsecured network”, and I was not comfortable typing my router password when prompted to by the app. When I went back to the app, despite not providing my Wi-Fi information, the app suddenly worked, and while connected to the Wi-Fi network the instructions lead me to, I could access and control the Second Bulb. This was a gross hassle, hate when a product says “easy setup”, then tries to collect data on you it doesn’t actually need to access a product’s functions. Can’t tell if the app developer was incompetent or if this is some sort of phishing scheme. Time will tell. One star because through sheer tenacity I got it to work, the bulb base is hot to the touch which makes me nervous, LED bulbs I’ve used in the past don’t get hot. A Bluetooth only bulb would be more secure, I’m sure there are better products out there but this was given to me as a gift. Research products before you buy, my friends.

3. 4/5Bring back full spectrum “From Photo” option

   The installer recently added a new controller to work with my lights and this app, and so far it had improved stability and added some great new options. I’m disappointed, however that now the “use photo” option just reduces the color range of the photo to a few dominant colors. The thing I loved about the older “use photo” option was its ability to display hundreds of colors as the picture moved through the frame. It really showed off the capabilities of the lights! It seems it would work as well if you at least created the full range of colors from a slice of the photo to be used with the “running water” animation.

4. 4/5It works, but needs improvements.

   I have 20 fixtures in my setup. There is a learning curve. This one is pretty simple and flexible, HOWEVER, it’s not perfect. First, the WIFI options have been getting better with updates, but don’t always connect to the network until restarting my rounder. I’m controlling RGBW. When programming scenes, the manufacturer need to update the app so it can add the options to turn RGB and W or WW as On or Off as part of saved scenes. Currently, it’s limited to one parameter. For example if you program a scene with RGBW, but then go to another scene that should use only use RGB; the W value is unaffected. The scene changes and the W LED remains on. It’s due to only a single program selection options for scenes. PLEASE ADD multi functionality protocols to saved scenes. That way the programmer of scenes, can properly turn on and off RBG / RGBW scenes combinations. Currently, if you have scenes programmed this way, you need to manually turn the “W” LED on/off between programs. Default program values should be zero so programmers must affect a value to help less experienced programmers program scene changes, but allow advanced users flexibility to use the RGBWW capabilities!

5. 2/5The light bulbs are freaking out

   I can’t say if it’s the app or the bulbs…my guess is the app, so here you go! My bulbs worked fine awhile ago. Then they needed to be reset, but I didn’t have time. Today, I upgraded the app and reset two bulbs and connected another for the first time. It worked fine configuring and connected the new one. The other two I could not get to work. One connected, turned green and then went off line. I could not get it back online, so I deleted the device and decided to start over. The app discovers the bulbs and the phone displays the wifi settings. The bulbs also flash or change color, which clearly indicates it’s communicating with the app. But when I try to continue, app consistently says it can’t connect to wifi. I’ll reset, then close the app, reopen it, blah blah blah and they won’t connect. Since I actually have a life and can’t sit here for hours to connect bulbs to my phone, something I’ve managed to live without my whole life, I just turned the lights off and closed the app. Now, when I turned the lights on, both bulbs keep changing colors between a stark, almost blue white and a beige normal light bulb color. The app isn’t open, bulbs never connected, yet it like Vegas in my room! It’s very very &%*¥!=~ annoying! Going to find a couple good old-fashioned incandescent, money wasting glass light bulbs that won’t give me a headache!
