### 2/5 — Vraiment pas terrible

*2024-12-15, version 7.1.4*

1er avis : 
Très compliqué pour installer les ampoules… parfois les couleurs changent seule… les groupes de lampe ne marche pas ou très mal…  bref pas fiable… et très pénible à utiliser… mais la nouvelle appli ne permet pas d allumer avec Siri…alors que c était vraiment le truc le plus utiles.
2em avis après plusieurs années de utilisation, c’est pire qu avant… chaque jour il faut jongler avec l iPad et le téléphone pour allumer ou éteindre une lampe… et j en ai 4… bref c est plus simple d appuyer sur un interrupteur… et j ai dépensé de l argent pour rien…. Ça va finir par partir à la poubelle… conclusion choisissez une autre marque.

### 2/5 — Stížnost

*2024-04-19, version 7.1.1*

The app colour doesn’t correspond with the actual light colour. The shading works a way better on remote compared to app.

### 1/5 — app

*2026-07-23, version 7.1.7*

smart huh? the app is terrible, sometimes i cant even turn on the lights with that even though the bluetooth and wi-fi is on i have to turn the whole electricity of it off or close the app and reopen it for like 10 times so it can work, only one person can connect to them so it sucks if a family’s tryna use this really bad sth in their home, colors are not the same at all in the app as in real. at least the app would work normally bro..

### 1/5 — Tremenda

*2026-05-20, version 7.1.7*

Ho avuto la scellerata idea di comprare delle lampade che hanno bisogno di connettersi tramite questa applicazione. Perdono la connessione molto spesso e te lo segnalano illuminandosi completamente di rosso quando le accendi, rendendo impossibile vedere qualunque cosa nella stanza. Il processo di riconnessione può durare pochi secondi se sei fortunato o tutta la giornata se non ha voglia di connettersi

### 1/5 — Doesn t link anymore with google home

*2025-10-23, version 7.1.6*

Doesn t link anymore with google home and the new app they suggest as replacement awox home control doesn t even appear in the “works with google” section of google home for pairing. All eglo lights are now lacking voice control compatibility that was previously availabe via google home

### 5/5 — Super

*2024-07-23, version 7.1.4*

Die App eignet sich sehr gut um das Licht zu kontrollieren und einzustellen so wie man es braucht und haben will. Die App hat viele verschiedene Funktionen die alle weitgehend ohne Bugs funktionieren. Sie bieten vielfältige Möglichkeiten sein Licht zu verändern. Ich finde die App und die Lampe dazu seit mehreren Jahren und bin immer noch überrascht wie viel man einstellen kann. Außerdem finde ich es gut, dass die App regelmäßig Updates bekommt.

### 5/5 — Super

*2024-07-10, version 7.1.4*

Hält, was es verspricht, ist auch sehr einfach zu bedienen 😁👍

### 5/5 — lights
