Pairing
Too difficult to pair items to new WiFi. Why do they have make it 10 steps and then it doesn’t even work right?
Let’s Burglars know Your Not Home
If there is a power outage and you have their WiFi bulbs installed they will flash on and off until you reconnect them to your internet. So if you leave on a vacation and you have these lights set to a schedule and the power gets disconnected every light connected will blink non stop day and night letting everyone walking by your house know you’re not home. Great design fellas!!!

Bad company
Have to sign up for an account to function properly. Needs your wifi password for some reason but it connects via bluetooth. They also want your location which is supposed to find light bulbs easily. You can manually add without doing this. I don’t want to give all the info they require to just change the color of a light bulb. Gimme the remote like other brands.

Ads pop up when the app is opened
I have purchased many Feit smart products over the years and my experience has been positive. There are occasional glitches where a device needs to be reset but I consider it an annoyance as I know the steps to take to resolve.
I recently opened the app to turn a light on and was stunned by an intrusive ad covering my device list. Needless to say I was annoyed the first time, this time I am shopping for replacement products. I paid for the products which require me to use the app, this feels creepy and wrong.

Ads now??
I’ve had FEIT bulbs for years. The app is a little hit or miss in terms of functionality, but it is fine overall. I will not be buying any new FEIT products unless the ads are removed, though. Adding them was a terrible decision.
