What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
I love the power outage settings (being able to go back to last status so if the power blinks off in the middle of the night) the fact that they are alexa compatible is the icing on the cake.
The wyze bulb is the brightest color bulb i own, comparing it to a feit electric color bulb. A nice smart bulb for those who in the wyze smart home appliances ecosystem.
Cons
As you can see from my screenshot, one bulb is up to date, the other refuses to update successfully. Wyze integration with alexa just periodically stops with different bulbs having the same firmware. The app is horrible, it feels like i have to go to ... Read More
The app is glitchy. Went to turn it on a few days ago and nothing. Even tried a different socket. The fix is to delete the link in alexa and recreate it.

Lord, what a crummy product. These are not keepers. Kasa is a million times better.

Price

Packaging/appearance
To resolve, you have to turn the bulb off in the wyze app's main menu, then select the bulb's icon.
Competitiveness
We love all of our wyze products.
I've been a wyze customer for a long time and i've yet to experience a single failure with any of their products.
But, as is the case with many other wyze products, the firmware update fails, repeatedly, with no direction on how to fix it yourself.
1) doesn't work with samsung smartthings hub.

I was using the govee bulb with a program on my pc to have it go off on my streams for alerts and whatnot but for some reason it would only go 50 bright and would barely be noticeable while using the program
