Does not work with google home correctly.

Negatives: 1. When trying to use this set with google home, it was giving me different colors than selected in google home/app, I would select or say blue it would go green etc. (the other type of bulbs from the same manufacturer the 24/36 foot ones with different shape bulbs worked no problem). 2. The diffusal of the light is a little odd, it almost looks like a bullseye (pic on left is this set, other pic is the 32/24 foot set) on the ground (the 24/36 foot set from HBN is a nice smooth light on the ground). Color is a less potent than the 36/24 foot set. Physical bulb is bigger and rounder than the 36/24 foot. Both sets you cannot do individual light colors manually like you can with Twinkly's version but the Twinkly's are about half the brightness and cost more $$$.Pros: 48/24 feet length vs 36/24 foot from other HBN set, skinny wire (22 gauge vs 16 from the 24/36 HBN set), connector can be removed from the power supply/transformer vs being built in like the 36/24 foot set. Other sets can be plugged into this to sync the lights vs the 36/24 foot set, you would have to have multiple sets connected on wifi and then group them in the app to get the same effect. Can do different themes such as pick 2 (every other light is one of the two colors), or multi which does what color they programmed it for.

Pros
  • App/Voice Control
Cons
  • The bulbs could get too hot and pose a fire risk
