Great App

I have a suggestion. On the splash page have the smart outlet icons go green when they’re on, that way you can tell at a glance which ones are on or off.

What happened?

I have used this app with a smart light bulb for 5 years. I was always able to set a time for the light to turn on and a time for it to turn off. I moved and the option to set a time off is not there anymore. What happened and why? I know it was there. Kind of useless without it.

Too complicated. Not impressed.

Trying to pair two bulbs in bedside lamps. They wont sync to the same color. Can’t connect to Alexa. Got these for free through my son’s school but I wouldn’t pay a dime unfortunately. Too many superior products out there to have this many issues.

SO SLOW

app is good just extremely extremel extremely super slow and sometimes one bulb wont work and i gotta wait like a day for it to work in the app again like the app when i press the button or anything nth happens its so annoying i had to write a review and i NEVER write reviews for anything

Good but could be a bit more polished

The Android version of this app comes with widgets to quickly toggle the devices on and off. I wish they added widgets for this ios version as well.

Best light bulb ever!

The brightness is awesome and the different colors like red,blue,or green I good too!

Bad

The only place you can do it is in the same place. Your router is I tried doing it in my room over and over and never connected. It’s not worth the money.

Alexa skill restored

After a two week outage it seems the Alexa Skill link has finally been restored

No longer able to link with Alexa

App is no longer able to link with Alexa.

Alexa skill won’t work

Been using this for a couple of years and suddenly now the Simply Conserve skill cannot be enabled via Alexa. Cannot use voice control anymore. No solution provided in app, or contact given to report issue!

Bad

Wont work connecting so don’t waste your time on it

Very weird

I got a hole box of theses bulbs in the mail and I tried to make them work like I can’t get the light to flash am I doing something work

Lousy Connection

Patiently trying g to work my way through these bulbs. The connection is terrible, I’m on a Google mesh system. One bulb furthest way is consistently online, most which is very close to access point won’t connect. Maddening.

iOS Haters

I got smart plugs through my utility provider that only work with this app. They don’t work with HomeKit, the app doesn’t work with iOS Shortcuts app, IFTTT. I can’t even add a widget to my Home Screen. Obviously HomeKit would be best, but IFTTT or Shortcut support would be a decent workaround. Even a widget!

So here I am, having to find and open the app just to turn off a lamp when everything else in my house works with Siri. Is that lazy? Yes. But I’m all in on iOS and Siri so this is a bummer.

Stop

Not a well thought out app

The app lets you select a time for the bulb to go on but there is not obvious way to tell it when to turn off. The only possible option I could find is TIME LEFT. What the heck does that mean. Why not just have a TIME OFF option???

It would be good to have a choice to turn it on and off randomly. All the old fashioned, but effective, timers have this option.

Lastly there are ABSOLUTELY NO INSTRUCTIONS as to how to use the app.

This is my first time setting it up so will see if it actually does what I programmed to do.

Love it

Excellent application easy to use. Lights are great.

Apple support & network support terrible

I purchased 20 bulb through the DTE smart energy program.
I not the most tech savvy senior. I do have the patience to apply trial and error methods.
I haven’t found any way to connect to my Apple home kit app - - I haven’t found a way to set a different lighting scene in a program sequence. I can only set up a time sequence - the color and brightness are not available for adjusting.

I now have a problem that I cannot resolve.

I had been informed of a security breach and I was instructed to change my network name and passwords.
Upon changing my network information I am unable to reconnect with the new network and the assigned identies and program to each bulb

Smart feature is useless because I cannot reassign identity or reprogram the bulbs.
Please review this information and provide a solution.

Setup is a nightmare

Definitely not “screw and play”. Almost an hour to pair first light bulb, after that, 10 min for next. Nonetheless, very aggravating.

Happy

The A19 is a super bulb. Being able to change colors for a specific purpose and operate remotely is excellent.
