Review on Novostella 2700K 6500K Multicolor Smart LED Bulb - Ideal Compatible Option for Various Lighting Needs by Scott Bailey

Ok I bought a new TV and got a free Google Home Mini as a result of the sale. Now that I've kind of been thrown into the world of smart things, I now have this free smart speaker and I land on a mission. I spend about a month watching YouTube videos and researching the best products to start on the road to buying my first smart products. In the end I realize that smart plugs and lightbulbs would be a great start in this new world I'm exploring. After a few videos and articles, I find out that Novostella is one of the main competitors in the bright and affordable smart bulbs category. So now I'm comparing them to other products which leads me to believe that Novostella was probably the best buy if I wanted a really bright bulb set at a reasonable price. Ah, I was right! While I have to say I've only had them for a few weeks, in that time everything about lightbulbs has led me to believe I've made a really smart purchase. Just one of these easily lights up an entire room in white modes and is very beautiful in color modes with very saturated colors, I have 3 of them. Lol I end up telling google to dim the bulbs for white and most lighter colors. , especially all variations of white and yellow. Wonderful! Plugging in: Plugging in lightbulbs drove me nuts at first. But wait! Thing is, I've never done this before, so I was in foreign territory. The moment I got a glimpse of what was going on, I plugged one in and all of the next 7 devices I had left ran smoothly. After the second connection I was able to connect devices with around 10-20 seconds of work. It takes a little longer since you spend a lot of time scanning devices and connecting to your network. Otherwise, I could probably connect and play with the device in a matter of seconds. It's actually a bit crazy. Physical build quality: To be honest, these things are of exceptional quality, especially considering their price. You are heavy! They feel durable! I mean, it's a lightbulb, so I'd probably drop it or hit it, but I actually have a feeling you can ruffle it a bit and it'll survive! Actually a bit shocking to take it for the first time. How often can one talk about such a product? You'll probably say "oh my god" the first time you pick it up like me, it was literally an instinctive reaction lol. Are there any downsides to them or the facility? Yes, the only thing that annoyed me was the inability to create scenes with costumes in their application. Are there any workarounds? Yes, exactly. The way you create your "Smart Presets" can get around this. I have one set up so when I say "Hey Google, let's make a beat!" the lights turn green, dim to 50% and IFTTT combined with push2run and pushbullet then opens FL Studio on my lbvs machine. When I say "Hey Google, good morning!" my entire office turns on, glows orange for productivity and better visibility, and Google tells me the weather. All I need to complete this process is a Chromecast or something because one of my two TVs is dull and won't turn on when power returns through the smart plug. I can even open certain programs on the computer to wait. I have yet to figure out how to actually boot the computer up, but when I say goodnight it sends a shutdown request to my computer and then shuts down everything else in the office/studio. Amazing stuff and I'm only scratching the surface. I'm going to put these things in every outlet in our house, to say the least. I even keep a few lightbulbs in my shopping cart just to have more lightbulbs around the lbvs.
