Pros & Cons
Pros
Phillip's hue series automation line of products is the most reliable and easiest to install. The hue app works flawlessly everytime. Extremely easy to setup scenes and automation routines. I use my echo show as the hub and setup is a breeze.
Cons
Not happy about this product. Do not have spect it to last. These are not new, and are refurbished. I'm assuming the warranty on refurbished is not the same.
Stays at 30% brightness when in off state. No ability to reset. No serial number or fcc id on it, indicating that it's not a smart bulb at all, or if it is, a counterfeit.
If the office alexa is turned off, the light tied to it quits working. My problem is it always goes offline and i have to manually connect it back to the echo which includes a process of unscrewing the bulb and typing in a small 6 digit serial number.... Read More
Highlights
Quality
Extremely easy to setup scenes and automation routines.
The lights are so easy to install and are immediately recognized through the hub.
These lights are advertised as new, however, they are not new.
If the office alexa is turned off, the light tied to it quits working.
Price
Trying to find ones at a reasonable price can be a challenge.
Shipping
Amazon accepted my return and credited my account properly and efficiently.
Packaging/appearance
The box they came in said refurbished.
I called amazon and they told me to look at the order tab and in a very obscure location does it indicate used, not new.
The packaging from amazon was new and not torn, yet the box inside was ripped in several places.
The first box had a defective bulb so ordered a second box both work.
Competitiveness
I’m so pleased with philips that i now have converted all bulbs inside and outside the house to philips brand smart bulbs
Bottom line is i strongly recommend the hue brand products over all their competitors products.
I’ve tried a number of smart plugs and lightbulbs and none seem to work, except philips.
I also have 4 wall switches installed along with the hub that is required to use a competitor, kinda of sounds like instant, products.
