Great value and functionality with a couple of limitations
Having lived with these for a couple of weeks now, I thought it time to write a review. Generally, these bulbs are excellent value for money and well worth using if your needs are simple. Just some points to note:Good Points:1. Installing the hub went smoothly having followed the quick start instructions. No problems there and I can reach every bulb in my house so far, so no communication range issues.2. Installation of the bulbs took a while, but that’s because I was installing quite a few in one go. A couple of the bulbs needed 2 attempts to connect to the hub, but 2nd attempts for those worked fine. Each bulb takes between a minute to two minutes, so not too much of a time penalty.3. These bulbs *are* dimmable. I mention that as I’ve read some reviews where people are stating they’re not. I can absolutely control every bulb’s brightness independently, so be confident you can set this. I bought additional multi-packs of these bulbs and all of the bulbs are dimmable, not just the two that come with this set.4. Using the app, you can “move” bulbs out of a room and into a new room without having to reset them. This definitely helps with zone reconfiguration if you didn’t quite get it right the first time.Challenges:5. There are 6 pre-configured Rooms that you can assign the bulbs to (Bedroom, Living Room, Bathroom, Kitchen, Office, Dining Room, Family Room) and one extra zone that you can name yourself. In my case, this isn’t enough to cover the combinations I need. There is no ability to add additional rooms/zones.6. You can’t set on/off schedules for individual bulbs, you can only do this for Rooms. This is a shame as I have single bulbs I like to leave on overnight but I have to compromise with the available Room configuration if I want to achieve this.I also have Echo Plus and that does help a bit with Point 5 above in that I can use the Alexa app to Group bulbs together in the Smart Home section. This can be any combination of bulbs, not just what the Sengled App defines as Rooms. It’s still not a perfect solution though as I can’t define schedules for Groups in the Alexa app, so I still can’t automate more than 7 Rooms (zones). I can however, use Alexa to ask her to turn all bulbs on or off in one of my custom Groups which is nice!In summary then, I don’t regret this purchase, great value for money and way better than shuffling round my house one bulb at a time, but I’m hoping the limitations I mentioned are software based and that all they have to do is improve the app a bit at some point.

Bright and easy to install.
I read reviews to the point that I was ready to buy a regular bulb and just not have control of the light anymore. I got these and prayed. I changed internet providers and got a modem that wouldn’t work with half of my smart things! It never defaulted to the signal needed. I could go In via computer and make 2 separate passwords for both wavelengths but my ability to remember passwords may end up with me never using anything. So I checked the providers suggestions and bought KP link I think and Philips hue. Fast forward a few years and bulbs are going out. Philips hue is over 100 dollars for some reason and I was scared to try anything else because of the past experience where nothing worked and I was ready to throw things and cry. I read on the reviews I would have to get the skill, that’s OK. I can probably do that. Then blink the light 3 times. Ok. No problem. Then I read people who couldn’t make it work no matter what. I got the bulbs. Put one in. Went to alexa app and just searched for devices. She found it. No extra skill needed. I am so glad I didn’t have to get irrationally angry. There is something about tech that can make a calm me into an angry/ready to cry person. No tears or raised BP with these bulbs! If they last over a year I will be over the moon! If not, the price and ease of install makes up for lack of longevity. I won’t feel screwed. Now if it took a sacrifice to the God’s and put unnecessary strain on my marriage due to short tempers, I would feel dread when the bulb dies.

Really easy to install and connect to Alexa

UPDATE 6months in: they have reworked the phone app, and it is a much more pleasant experience. For firsts it doesn’t log you out randomly any more, and the design is much nicer!Everything is in a much better configuration and updates for the firmware are quick and smooth. Thoroughly impressed! I just wish you could control the lights remotely, when away from home using the app. At the moment Google home is capable of managing the lighta when in away, I don’t see why this app wouldn’t be able to!UPDATE: I am 2 months in, this has to be the best purchase I’ve ever made for myself. I’ve been able to automate my morning wakeup at 6 am every day to the point where I am up as soon as the lights turn on. On top of that i am able set the lights with google assistant on my phone and never have to get up to adjust the dimmer. This mafe QoL much higher for me, thank you Singled!Easyset up using the app. The installation is extremely simple, plug the power and the data cable into the hub. Install the app from the app store and you’re pretty much done.To initially set them up, you will need to use the app for iOS or Android. After the set up you can control it with alexa, google home, or google assistant right from your phone.Bulbs can be set to turn on/off on schedule(AMAZING feature), and monitor usage. I have mine turn on Monday through Friday automatically at 6AM for work, along side with an alarm clock.It is a really pleasent experience for a much cheaper price than Philips hue or other brands.
