## What is SYLVANIA Smart WiFi?

Manage your SYLVANIA Smart WiFi devices with SYLVANIA Smart WiFi App.

• Quick and Easy Setup – connect new devices in seconds.
• Organize your devices by groups and rooms to control them with a simple touch.
• Control your devices from anywhere – turn on/off, customize the brightness and color to match your mood, an occasion, or the time of day.  You can use the app to control your devices wherever you have an internet connection.
• Voice control – use Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant smart speaker to control your devices with just your voice.  It’s as easy as, “Alexa, turn the lights to red,” or say, “Hey Google, dim the lights to 50%.”
• Use default dynamic presets of color effects or customize your own.
• Sync your compatible color lights to the sound of your music and have a party.
•  Regulate your circadian rhythm with Bio-Adaptive Lighting mode with compatible lighting devices.  You can use the default setting or customize your own setting.  The light will automatically change color and brightness based on the time of day.  
•  When away from home, use the Vacation Mode to fool burglars.
•  Create automations to simplify your life.  Never return home to a dark house.  Set timer to turn on the lights to wake you up in the morning.  You can even use it to indicate the weather – for example turning the light to blue if it’s raining outside.
•  Share controls with friends and family.

Rethink, reimagine, and relive your home experience with SYLVANIA SMART+ devices.

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2026-07-23, version 3.0.1*

Light turns on automatically at times without a scene being set. Light turned on at 4am and woke me up. I thought I had an intruder. Never again.

### 2/5 — Worked great till it didn’t

*2026-07-03, version 3.0.1*

When I had first bought these lights they were wonderful. Then I got that dreaded firmware update notification, would not be something to worry about if I could actually install the new firmware. Now after unpairing my bulbs in an attempt to install the new firmware I cannot get them to connect and they are stuck in easy pairing mode, yet it has been anything but easy. Two stars.

### 1/5 — Now requires log-in

*2026-03-30, version 3.0.0*

App worked fine without needing to create an account and log in. Not sure why they changed it, but I am sure it’s not to my advantage. Going to buy new smart plugs instead of creating an account.

### 3/5 — Bigger power buttons

*2026-03-01, version 2.0.7*

On the "all devices" screen, the on/off power toggle button needs to be significantly bigger(double the size). Half the time you accidentally tap the box behind it which brings you to settings for that device.  It is incredibly frustrating.  
If not for that, I would give this app 5 stars.

### 1/5 — Fails to connect to wifi blinking before it connects

*2026-02-22, version 2.0.7*

I cant get this pos to connect its also flashing bright and i can get it to stop

### 1/5 — Counterintuitive App

*2026-02-08, version 2.0.7*

I setup up 9 lights in one room in my house. Now I can’t add those lights to a room in the app. What’s the point of having different rooms in the app if you can add devices you’ve already setup. I’ll be looking for different bulbs for my next smart room..

### 1/5 — Firmware update “broke” a bulb!

*2026-02-08, version 2.0.7*

Plugged in, “added” and set up 5 light bulbs. Every one of them worked but claimed “firmware update needed”. At the time I didn’t have the time as app stated “this could take a while. “Make sure your device has battery power blah blah blah……” but the bulbs seemed to work just fine as is. Able change colors and effects no issues, figured, “meh whatever this will do for now”. Finally found the time later on and attempted to “update firmware”—tested it cautiously on one single bulb first to see how long it might take. At what looked to be 90% complete, It stopped and claimed, “connection failed, check the network” and has ever since completely refused to do anything. I “tried again” and tried and tried. All logical connection and internet [nothing else on network having any issues just this one specific bulb I attempted to update] and the bulb sits there, dark while switch is in the “on” position. I Tried to “delete/readd the bulb to reset it. The power to the bulb is on but the bulb its-self is completely dead-won’t turn on at all. I am actually afraid now with the other 4 bulbs. That, If I should accidentally press to update them…… what? Im out more pricey light bulbs… there go more bulbs!? Not happy here with this Sylvania.😠

### 2/5 — App stopped working

*2026-01-27, version 2.0.7*

I’ve used this app ever since I got my smart bulbs. I never had an issue until tonight. The app won’t open long enough for it to be used or call tech support.

### 3/5 — Simple feature miss

*2025-12-24, version 2.0.7*

Would be a 5 but setup is a pain if you have a complex wifi password (which you should). A simple copy and paste feature into the password box when adding a new device would make a world of difference.  Instead of having to write down the password because switching screens clears out the password field.

### 4/5 — It’s nice

*2025-11-21, version 2.0.7*

I love it, it lights up my room in one button but the only problem is when I don’t get on the app for so long and I have to redownloded it and I don’t know the password, but overall good I guess
