Hampton Bay Landscape Light Transformer
Few comments for the developers:
1. Setting lights on and off times at sunset/ sunrise it would be great to have settings closer in time 30 min before or after is quite a long time for outdoor lighting . Can you add 15 min or even 10 min before and after sunrise/sunset?
2. My three zones use 129 watts, good amount below the 200 watts of the transformer. Lights go on and off fine manually but if I set the clock to turn them in at sunset they don’t turn on and the app states there is a system overload. If I stagger their on time it is fine as I have three zones. I do want them all to come on at sunset and can’t do that currently.
3. Very east to set up! Nice job.
4. Please add the power failure feature (three options) as it is not currently available for the transformer. In am not sure what it will do upon a power failure. That feature appears to be on other products, it needs added to the transformer.Show lessPauly_!

This is great feedback, thank you! -JGUnreliable
The app and lights are glitchy. They may randomly turn off and not work without any clear reason. They do not work seamlessly with Google as they turn on in a delayed fashion, one by one.
They also are unable to turn on in a different color than when they were shut off. For example, if you have the lights on red and turn them off, you cannot tell them to turn on to blue. You must first turn them on and then do a second command to change the color.
Solid lights, just unfavorable usability.Show lessZwrn
Phenomenal!
I was searching for can lights that would work in my soffit, the 4 1/2 inch lights were absolutely perfect I liked them so much I decided to do my entire space with them. super easy to install, super easy to set up, and wonderfully reliable cannot say enough nice things about this system buy with confidence.Show lesstimmy p 5
Cool concept but still has a lot of bugs
When you get home and want to turn the light on usually you want it to be quick, but that’s not the case half the time you get logged out of the app randomly. So now you you have to sit there and log in every day just to turn your lights on. What would normally be a 2 second thing now it takes a few minutes. Would love to be able to just open the app and go. If they could fix this I would give 5 starsShow lessEvan Buck
Much Better Than I Was Expecting
I had a low bar since partnerships like this with a big brand (Home Depot) in my experience are really sub par. This is not the case here. The UI is clean, up to date with Apple’s HIG, and intuitive.
My two complaints are, one, there’s no way to save a “scene”. e.g., if I want to save the brightness and color of lights in a room for different holidays (Halloween, Mardi Gras, etc.), I have to configure each light every time instead of once/saving that scene.
Two, schedules can only be created per light and not per room. If I have multiple lights in one room, ideally I could create one schedule that controls all of them.Show lessApaulo11

Thank you for the kind words! :-) We are always looking to improve the app's features and appreciate the feedback! -JGWorking well so far
I had the timer on our Christmas lights. When I took them down I decided to use it on one of our boot dryers whose timer stopped working. I’m now able to run the dryer the four hours I usually need to get the kids ski boots dry. They’re able to start it by pushing the button on the plug then I go to the app to input how long to run it. Saves me from forgetting to turn it off and running it all night!Show lessEand the boys
Don’t love Home Depot but…
I also don’t love having their brand on the menu but this product works. So far I haven’t noticed any significant bugs. I haven’t (so far) had any connectivity issues. I do maybe wish I could lower the fan speed below 25% but never look a gift horse in the mouth.Bay Area Exile
Buyer beware
I’ve had the lights installed for less than 24 hours. I was really happy with them initially. Unfortunately, The app server appears to have gone offline and will not allow me to sign in. My smart lights are now essentially dumb lights. They’re stuck on the last setting because I can’t sign into the app to change them. This seems entirely unnecessary as these lights have both Bluetooth and wireless support so you’d expect that if they are having server issues on their end you would still be able to control them through Bluetooth but nope that’s not the case. I now have a set of lights that are stuck on until their server comes back online and lets me turn them offShow lessChrisMar87
Works great!
I got this for my outdoor Christmas lights. We’ve been using it for a few weeks and so far, it works great! It only took a minute to set up. I am using the timer setting, which was easy to set up and just works. We have an older house that’s quite large. The internet box is on the other side of the house and I didn’t think there was any way it would connect to the internet being outside and far from the source, but it totally works!Show lessmamawolferonan
Awesome Sauce
I purchased the wireless indoor/outdoor timer for my back yard Christmas lights and am SUPER PLEASED!! The fact that you can program the exact time for them to come on and turn off right down to the day and minute with the app on your phone is great. And another bonus is when the time changes you don’t have to mess with it. The time change takes place automatically because it is hooked directly to your router.. I’ll be purchasing more of these devices for my whole home in the coming year..Show lessFlashQ105
