Review on πŸ’‘ Enhanced Philips Hue Bluetooth Dimmable HomeKit by Jared Winebrenner

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Possibly renovated. Disappointing

Totally disappointing and I will be returning it. When I got the Hue Light, the red flags immediately went up. I think they sent me a repaired or opened box. The original seal on the box was present but was cut off and partially removed and a new seal placed over it. But I opened it up anyway and plugged it in to charge. It connected to my Echo Show with no problems, but Alexa often ignored my instructions for the colors I requested. Eventually, after about 15 minutes of use, it just went off. Maybe it interrupted my internet connection? I moved it and turned it back on to check. It seemed to work, but the next morning I tried bypassing Alexa and turned it on manually. It worked. Since it was morning I figured it was ready for evening use. When evening came I tried to control it with Alexa. Nothing. I tried again, but this time by hand. Again nothing. This Hue Go light worked for about 15 minutes after charging and then failed completely! For 80€ I expected much more. A suspicious seal and general lighting/battery failure leads me to believe that I received either a repaired item or a returned item. In any case, I will not be buying from this seller again.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
